The Gold Mines Of the Great Salt LakeS--..The
CrODS,

A letter from Mormon at the Salt Lake
to his friends in Ohio, says:
There is an extensive gold mine here.
from which great many of my neighbors
are engaged in digging gold. Those who
work the mines make from thirty to- sew
en- hundred and fifty dollars per day each.
If man wants gold, all he has to do is
TO go and dig it. In fact, money is. as
plenty here as pine slabs used to be at
Schroon, VT. We have gold dust, gold
and silver coin, and paper currency for
our own convenience, paper being better
to handle than god dust.

city there is hot spring. the water of

There is another spring within one mile
of the city, the water of which is about
blood warm, there we bathe for health;
also, an oil spring, a soda spring, and an

place it requires but few minutes 10 load

There is not much timber IN this coun-

and fishes of all kinds in abundance.
Cattle can live here the whole year
without either hay or corn, and be fat
enough for beef al any time, There has
been one crop raised in the valley, and
there is now large crop of wheat in the
ground. There is a canal being construct

fields, as there is very little or no rain IN
the summer season.

May Lille,
on LOVE AND LEARNING.
BY MRS. CAROLINE H. BUTLER.

Il was a most provoking thing that
Young Harry Warren should have fallen
in love with pretty May Lillie-simpiy a
village school-master whom know body
knew-and she the only daughter of the
richest and proudest man IN the whole
county of Erie, whom every body knew!

The next moment the little bud was in
the hand OF the transported Harry, accom-
panied with look of such innocent conf
ding love, as made his heart dance with
rapture.
Was there ever in after life a moment OF
such pure and exquisite happiness as then
filled the hearts of the lovers!
But the zose-bud, the poor rosebud, bit
terly did it rue the change from Its lovely
resting place to the great hand of the school
master-besides coming very near being
crushed to pieces between that and the
