THE BENNE PLANT.

THIS highly valoable plant 'of which the leaf is the
part u^ed) is especially beneficial In all cases of
cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentery and all affections
of a slmil'ar nature. It has also been proved to be a
great remedy for sore eyes; but for all cases of dysen-
tery, either in children or adults, its Influence and heal-
ing properties appear almost miraculous. Seed and
leaves can be had at my res-idence, south of the Putjlic
Square, in the 16th Ward, S. S. L. City.

SUGAR.

S«gar Is made from the Juice of plants and trees, !.<•.,
from sugar cane, beet roots, carrots, maple trees, etc.
It crystallzes, is sweet, soluble in water and alcohol, and
Is nourishing to the human system. Nitric acid turns It
to oxalic add.
Oue hundred parts of sugar contain:
28 parts of carDon;
64 parts of oxygen;
8 parts of hydrogen.

HONEY.

Honey Is composed of sugar, mucilage and water, and,
being ready-made, like manna in heaven, falls upon
flowers and leaves, and Is gathered by bees. Aside from
worldly philosophy, sugar or honey is one of the elements
of a wise God, and better medicine than calomel.

INBIA RUBBER.

The common India rubber, or gum-elastlc, goroetlmes
called cacntchouc, Is prepared mostly from the Juice of
the real "Slpbonica elastlca," by tapping the trefs, as
we do pine tor rezin. The juice is white like milk, and
after It is taken from the trees stiffens itself Into an elas-
tic gum or rezln. It always remains soft. It would be
well to obtain some of the seed of the real trees lor
Utah.

PRESERVATION OF CROPS BY ELDER.

If branches of elder be brushed occasionally over
plants, such as cabbages, cauliflowers, turnips, or any
other productions of the garden^ the operation is found
to have a remarkable effect in preserving the plants from
the attacks of insects, and also preserving fruit-trees
trom being blighted.

FLTTID FOR PRKSERVIIVG SEEDS FROM
THE l>JEPREDAXJONS OF VERMIIV.

H.Brown, of Derby, observes to the Seciety for the
EDCouragement of Arls, etc , that when he steeped seeds
lor three or four hours, or for a sufficient length of time
to penetrate the huek,in a strong solution of liver of sul-
phur, he never lost a seed by vermin during a three
years' trial.

METHOD OF MAKING SEALING WAX.

Take any quantity of shell-lac in powder; add to It
half its weight in rosin, and half its weight of vermilion.
Melt these ingredien's ever a gentle Are, and when they
are thoroughly Incorporated, work the composition Into
sticks, rolls, or any other form desired.

This composition makes a fine, liard, red sealing wax:
any other color may be obtained by using a pigment of
the color desired, Instead of vermilion.

Red lead is used instead of vermilion for common red
wax, and the quality of the composition is further de-
based tsy reversing the proportions of rosin and shel-lac.

The whitest rosin should be used for all bright colois.
The wax will be mora tenacious, if turpentine, boiled
■with a little water til! it is hard, is used instead of rosin.
The lowest heat at which the Ingredients can be melted
should also not be exceeded.

The gealing wax may be softened hy adding; white wax
to It; it is formed into sticks by rolling it upon a stono
•while it is yet soft; and Is polished merely by melting its
surface over a fire, and letting it cool without being
touched.

CEMENT OR GLUE TO RESIST WATER.

JL Bo'ntlon of ghell-lac In alcohol, added to a solution
of Isinglass In proof spirit, forms a cement that reslsta
water, and may be used as a glue.

METHOD OF PREPARITVG A CHEAP SUB-
STITUTE FOR OIL PAINT.

It often happens that people do not choose, or can-
not employ oil painting In the country, either because It
does not dry soon enough, and has a disagreeable smell,
or because It Is too costly.

Ludicke employed, with the greatest success, the fol-
lowing composition for palatlng ceilings, gates, doors,
and even furniture:

Take fresh curds, and bruise the lumps on a erlndinB-
Btone, or In an earthen pan or mortar, with a spatula.
After this operation, put them in a pot with an equal
quantity of lirae, well quenched, and become thick
enough to be kneaded: stir this mixture well without
adding water, and a whitish semifluid mass will be ob-
tained, which may be applied with great facility like
paint, and which dries very speedily. It must be ena-
ployed the day it Is prepared, as It will become too thick
the day following. Ochre, Armenian bole, and ei\ colors
which hold with lime, mny be mixed with It, according
to the color desired; but care must be taken that the ad-
dition of color made to the first mixture of curds and lime,
contain rery little water, or It will diminish tho dura-
blllly of the painting.

When two coats of this paint have been laid on, it may
bs polished with a piece of woolen cloth, or other proper
Bubstance, and It will become as bright as varnish. This
kind of painting, besides its cheapness, possesses the ad-
vantage of admitting two coats to be laid on and polisheij
In one day, as it dries speedily and has no smell,

AniBER VARNISH.

Oil varnishes, which have become thick by keeping, ars
made thinner with spirits of tarpentlue. i

■24
STAINING WOOD.

stilus do not lie, like paints, upon the surface of woodj
but sink more or les3 into its substance. Ilence thewood
■which has been stained exhibits its natural grain and
hardness; and, It must be remembered, that if the wood
be not white, the color taken will be a compound of that
of the wood and the stain. The dyeing woods employed
must be understood to be in small chips, or raspings,

When the wood is intended to be brushed several
times over with any fluid, It should be dried previous to
each repetition of the operation. The woods which have
been stained are afterwards rubbed up with rushes, then
with a cloth, dipped in a solullon of bees' wax in spirits
of turpentine, and afterwards rubbed with a woolen
cloth alone. When the stain is intended to be very deep,
the pieces should be boiled in the staining liquor, and not
merely brushed over.

TO STAIN WOOD RED.

Take two ounces of Brazil wood, and two ounces of
potash; mix them with a quart of water, and let th&
composition stand in a warm place for several days, stir-
ring it occasionally. With this Uqaor, made boiling hot,
biush over the wood till the desired depth of color is ob-
tained. Then, with another brush, brush over the wood,
while yet wet, with a solution of alum, in the proportion
Of two ounces of alum to a quart of water.

For a pink or rose red, use double the qaantUy of pot-
ashes.

TO STAIN l^-OOP GREEN.

Dissolve verdigris In vinegar, or crystals of verdigris
in water) »a4 brush over the wood with the hot s&lutlon*

25
TO STAIN WOOD YELLOW.

Infuse an ounce of turmeric In a pint of ppirlts of
v?lne, and let tlie mixture stand for several days closely
covered, shaking It occasionally. Brush over the wood
with this infusion. A reddish yellow maybe given to
the color by the addition of a little gum-tragacanth.

Diluted nitric acid will stain wood yellow.

TO STAIN WOOD BLUE.

Dissolve copper In diluted nitric acid, and brush It
while hot several times over the wood; then m-ike a so-
lution of pearl-ashes, In the proportion of two ounces to
a pint of water, and brush over the stain made with the
solution of copper, t'll the color be perfectly blue.

The green stain, made as above with verdigris, may be
changed to a blue by the solution of pearl-ashes.

Ttje sulphate of indigo, which may be had ready pre-
pared of the dyers, will, when diluted »Uh water, niaka
a blue ttain.

TO STAIN WOOD BLACK.

Brush the wood several times with a hot decoction of
logwood, then several times with common ink.

To make a very f5ne black, brush over the wood with
a solution of copper in nitric acid as for blue, and after-
wards with logwood, till all the greenness of the copper
Bolution is gone.

TO STAIN WOOD A MAHOGANY COLOR.

Two ounces of madder and one ounce of fustic, boiled
In a quart of water, make a light mahogany stain: but a
dark stain may be obtained by using half an ounce of log-
wood insteaii of the madder, and brushing the Btalned
wood over with a weak solution of potash.

25
TO STAIN WOOD PURPLE.

Take one ounce of logwood and two dracbms of Brazil
wood: boil them together In a quart of water over a mo-
derate fire. When one-half of the fluid Is evaporated,
straiQ the decoction, and brush It several times over the
wood. After the wood is dry, brush it over with a solu-
tion of a drachm of pearl-ashes in a pint ot water.

A FIREPROOF AND WATER-PROOF
CE.^IENT.

To halt a pint of milk put an equal quantity of vineftar
In order to curdle it; then separate the curd from the
■whey, and mix the whey with the whites of four or flva
eggs, beating the whole well together. When it is well
mixed, add a little quick lime through a sieve until it hag
acquired the consistence of a thick paste.

With this cement, broken vessels and cracks of all
ktads may be mended; it dries quickly, and resists the
action of water and ol Are applied to vessels containing
water.

POTATO SIZE.

Size is a mtich-diluted cement, and is either prepared
from common glue or Idnglass, or by boiling the shreds of
parchment or white leather, or consists of flour pasta
made very thin; but these composltlong, particularly
those of an animal nature, qnickly putrefy, and produce
a disagreeable smell, from which potato size is free. Tlae
potatoes must be grated into wafer, and after changing
the water oneo or twice, there will be found at the bot-
tom of the vessel a white fecula or starch. This starch
Is made Into size by boiling It with a sufficient qnantVty
of water. Mingled with whitewash, an excellent and
dnrable white is farmed, which will not rub off.

JOSEPH SMITH'S LAST DKEAM.

In Jnne, 1844, when Joseph Smith went to Carthage
and delivered himself up to Gov. Ford, I accorapanled
bliU; and while on the way thither) he related to ma
and bis brother Hyrurn the following dream:

He said: "While I was at Jordan's In Iowa the other
Bight, 1 dreamed that myself and ray brother Hyrum
went on board of a large steamboat, lying in a small
bay, near the great ocean. Shortly after we went on
board there was an '^alarm of flre,'' and 1 discovered
that the boat had been anchored some distance from the
shore, out in the bay, and that an escape from the fire,
in the confusion, appeared hazardous; but, as delay waa
folly, I and Hyrun Jumped overboard, and tried our
faith at walking upon the waier.

At first we sank in the water nearly to our knees, but
as we proceeded we increased In failb, and were soon
able to walk upon the water. On looking towards th«
burning boat in the east, we saw that it was drifting
towards the wharf and the town, with a great flame and
clouds of smoke; and, as if by whirlwind, the town was
taking flre, too, ro that the scena of destruction and
horror of the frightened inhabitants was terrible.

We proceeded on the bofom of tho mighty deep and
were sson out of sight of land. The ocean was still; the
rays of the sua were bright, and we forgot all the trou-
bles of our Mother Earth. Just at that moment I heard
the sound of a human voice, and, turning round, saw
my brother Samuel H. approaching towards us from tho
east. We stopped and he came up. After a moment's
conversation he Informed me that he had been lonesome
back, and had made up his mind to go with me across
the mighty deep.

We all started again, and in a short lime were blest

•28

•with tho first sight of a city, whoRe gold and silver
steeples and towers were more beautiful than aay I had
ever seen or heard of on earth. It stood, as It were, upon
the western shore of the mighty deep we were walking
on, and Its order and glory seemed far beyond the wis-
dom of man. While we were gazing upon the perfec-
tion of the city, a small boat launched off from the port,
an(?, almost as quick as thought, came to us. In an in-
stant they toofe us on board and saluted us with a wel-
come, and with music such as is not on earth. The next
scene, on landing, -was more than I can describe: the
greeting of old friends, the music from a thousand towers,
and the light of God himself at the return of three of
his sons, soothed my soul Into a quiet and a Joy that I
felt as If I was truly in heaven. I gazed upon the splen-
dor; 1 greeted my friends, I awoke, and lo, it was a
dream!

■While I meditated upon snch a marvelous scene, I fell
asleep again, and behold I stood near the shore of tha
burning boat, and there was a great consternation among
the ofncers, crew and passengers of the flaming rraft,
as there seemed to be much ammunition or powder on
board. The a'arm was given that the fire was near the
magazine, and la a moment, suddenly, it blew up with a
great noise, and sank in deep water with all on board.
I then turned to the country east, among the bnshy
openings, and saw William and Wilson Law endeavoring
to escape from the wild beasts of the forest, but two lloi>«
rushed out of a thicket and devoured them. 1 awoko
again." ,

I will say that Joseph never told this dream again, as
he was m&rtyred about two days after. I relate from
recollection as nearly as I can.

A REVELATION TO JOSEPH SMITH, 3VH.,
GIVEN JUNE, 1830.

The words of God which he spake unto Moses at a
time when Moses was caught up into an exceeding h'gh
mountain; and he saw God face to face, and he talked
"wl h him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; there-
fore Moses could endure his presence. And God spake
unto Moses, saying: Behold I am the Lord God Al-
mighty, and endless is my name, for I am without be-
ginning of days or end of years, and is not this endless?
And behold thou art my son, wherefore, look and I will
6how thee the workmanship of mine hands, but not all:
for my works are without end, and also my word", for
they never cease: wherefore no man can behold all my
works except he behold all my glory; and no man can
behold all my glory and afterwards remain In the flesh.
And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou
art In the similitude of mine only begotten; and mine
only begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is fnll ol
grace and truth; but there is no God besides me; and all
things are present with me, for I knew them all. And
now behold this one thing I show unto thee, Moses, mj.
son, for thou art In the world, and now I show it nnto
thee.

And it came to pass that Moses looked and beheld the
world upon which he was created, and Moses beheld the
world and the ends thereof, and all the children of mea
which was and which are created; of the.same ha greatly
marvelled, and wondered, and the presence of God with-
drew from Moses, that his glory was not upon MosesJ
and Moses was left unto himself. And as he was left
unto himself he fell unto the earth, and it came to pass
that it was for the ^pace of many hours before Moses did
again receive his natural strength like unto man; and
he salth nnto himself: Now, for this cause \ know that
man is nothing, which thing I never had eup;osed, but

30

now mine eyes, mine own eyes, but not mine eyes, for
tnlue eyea could not have beheldi lor I ehould have
withered and died In hl8 presence; but his glory was upon
me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured bbfors
him.

And it came to pass that when Moses had said thesa
wordF) behold Satan came tempting him, saying: Moses,
eon of man, warship me. And It came to pasF, that
Moses looked upon Satan, and s»id who art thou?^for
behold I am a son of God, In (he similitude of his only
begotten) and where Is thy glory, that I should worship
thee? For behold I could not look upon God except hJs
glory should come upon me, and I were strengthened be-
fore him, but I can look upon thee in the nitnral man.
Is It not so suiely? Blessed ia the name of my God, for
hlf spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me, or
else, where Is thy glory, for it Is darkness unto me; and
I am Judge between thee and God; for Gcd said unto me,
worship God. for him only shall thou serve. Get thon
bence, Satan; deceive me not, for God said unto me,
thou art after the similitude of mine only begotten.

And he also gave me commandments, when he called
■nnto me out of the "burning bush," saying: Call upon
God In the name of mine only begotten, and worship me.
And again Moses said, I will not cease to call upon God.
I have these things to inquire of him, for his glory has
been upon me; wherefore I can judge between him and
.thee. Depart hence, Satan.

And now when Moses had said these words, Satan
cried with a loud voice, and went upon the earth, and
commanded, saying; I am the only begotten, worship
me. And it came to pass that Moses bescan to tear ex-
ceedingly; and as he began to fear he saw the bitterness
of hell: nevertheless, calling upon God, he received
strength, and he commanded, saying: Depart from me,
Satan, for this one God only will I worship, which is tbft

81

Cod of glory. And now Satan becan to tremble, an^
(he eartb shook; and Moses receive'! streDgtti, and ca I-
ed upon God, saying: In the name of Jesus Christ, de-
part hence Satan.

And It came to pass, that Satnn cried witly a lotid
voice, with weeping and gnashing of teeth, and depart-
ed hence; even from the presence ef Moses, that he be-
held him not.

ABd now of this thing Moses bore record, but because
of wickedness It Is not had among the children of men.
And It came to pass that wh»n Satan had departed from
the presence of Moses, he lifted up his eyes unto hea-
ven, being filled with the Holy Ghost, which beareth
record of the Father and the Son; and calllcg on the
name of God he beheld his glory again, for It was upon
him, and he heard a voice, Basing: Blessed art ihou,
Moses, for I the Almighty have chosen thee, and thou
Shalt be made stronger than many waters; for they shall
obey thy command as if thou wert God. And lo, I am
with thee, even unto the end of thy days, for thou
Shalt deliver my people from bondage, even Israel my
chosen.

And it came to pass as Koses' voice was still speaking)
he cast his ejes, and beheld the earth, yea, even all the
face of It, there was not a particle of It which he did not
behold, descrying It by the Spirit of God. And he be-
held also the Inhabitants thereof, and there was not a
soul which he beheld not, and he discerned them by the
Spirit Of God. And their numbers were great, even num-
berless as the saBd upon the sea shore. And lie be-
held many lands; and each laad was called earth, and
there were Inhabitants on the face thereof. And it
came to pass that Moses called upon God, saying: Tell
n»e, I pray thee, why these things are so, and by what
thon madest them? And behold the glory of God was
upon Moses, eo that Moses stood In the presence of God,
MSi he taUed wtth Hosts face to tace; and the Loid Gu4

32

sslJ unto Mosef, for mine own purpose have I maife
th«se things. Here Is wisdom, «nd It remalneth In mo
And by the word of my power have I created themj
which Is mine only begotten Son, vho Is full of graca
and truth. And worlds without number have I created;
and I al>o created them for mine own purpose; and by
the Son I created them, which Is mine only begotten.
And the first man, of all men, have I called Adam,
which isflianj.. But only an account of this earth, and
the inhablvmts thereof, give I unto you; for behold
there are many worlds which have passed away by the
wordj of my power. And there are many which now
Btand, and lunum^rable are they unto man, but all things
are numbered unto me, lor they are mine, and I know
them.

And it came to pass tbat Moses spake unto th'e^nrd)
saying. Be merciful unto thy servant, O God, an 1 tell mo
concerning this earlh, and the Inhabitants thereof, and
also the heavens, and then thy servaiit will be content.

And tha Lord God spake unto Moses, saying. The
heavens they are many, and tbey cannot be numjered
unto man, but they are numbered unto me, for they aro
mine, and as one earth shall pass away, and the hodvens
thereof, even so shall another come; ^y^there is no end
to my works, neltlier to my words. -^^ '

■Beh<3M this is my work to my glory, to the immortality
and eternal life of man. And now Moses, my son, I
will speak nnto you concerning this earth upon which
thou Blandest; and thou sbalt write these things which 1
Bhall 8peak, and in a day when tbe children of men
Shall esteem my words as nought, and lake J'uny of
Ihem from the book which thou shait write, behold I
xvlll raise up another like unto thee, and they shall be
had aeain among the chl dren of men; among as ma-ny
HS shall bellovw those words wert- spoken -unl>'
Kflses in the Mount, the name of whi'h shnll not bo
tnuwn amonc the cbiMreu oi man. And now they arO'
