on him to prevent his escape. As soon as the
Pope had caused the picture to be delivered in

happening to stay into the road, neighbor Of the
man who owned the horse put him in the pound
Meeting the owner soon after, he told him what
he had done, and added, " If ever catch him in

"Neighbor," said the other not long since, I
looked out of my window in the night, and saw
your cattle in my moving ground, and drove
them out and shut them in your yard, and III

liberated the horse from the pound, and paid the
charges himself.

Elder Addison Pratt arrived with part of the

found his family in health, from whom he had
been absent about five years, on mission to the
Society Islands where has been baptised about
1900 souls.
On the first of January, John Smith, uncle to
the Prophet Joseph Smith, was ordained Patri-

About thirty of the brethren have recently
gone to the Utah Valley, about sixty miles south
to establish small colony for agricultural pur-
poses and fishing, hoping thereby to lessen the
call for beef which at the present time is rather
scarce at an average of or cents per pound,

THE ECHO.

George did not know in the least what an
echo was. One dav when he was out in the
fields, shouting and singing, he was surprised TO
hear his words repeated, as if they came from
some one in a neighborlng wood. The little boy
then called out, " Who are you ?" and immed-
ately he heard the same words repeated by some
mysterious voice. George then called out again
as loud ae he could You must be some foolish
boy" Foolish boy" replied The voice from
the wood. George now began to get angry, and
said some very ill.paturod things in his re-
ply, which were all faithfully repeated by the
echo. George then began looking about for the
little boy who he thought was mocking him, in
order to give him e beating, but all his search
YVES in vain. So he rem home and told his moth.
er how some naughty boy had hid himsel! in the
wooos, and Knocked him by repeating his words.
My dear boy" she replied, "yoa aIo mlsta-
ken. It was only your own words which you
heard, inst as when you look into z mirror or a

and if you had spoken kindly, you would have
received back kind words in reply. And so it is
in the world in our dealings with our fellow

FEDERATION.

When Abraham sat in his tent door accord =
ing to his custom, waiting to entertain strangers
he espied an old man, STOPPING and leaning on
his staff weary with age and travel, coming to-
wards him, who was an hundred years Of age ;
he received him kindly, washed his feet, provid-
ed supper, and caused him to set down; but OBJ
served that the old man eat and prayed not, nor
begged blessing on his meat, asked why he
did not worship the God of heaven? The old
man told him that he worshpped fire only, at
which answer Abraham grew so jealous that he
thrust the old man out of the tent, and exposed
him to all the evils of the night, in an unguarded
condition. When the old man had gone, God
called TO Abraham, and asked him where the
stranger was He replied, l have thrust him
away because he did not worship thee. God an
swered him, have borne With him these hun
bred years, although he dishonored me, and
couldst thou not have endured him one night
when he gave thee no trouble? Upon this, saith
the story, Abraham fetched him back again and
gave him hospitable entertainment and wise in-
structon. SO thou and do likewise" and thy
charity will be rewarded by the God Of Abra

PLANTING CHESNUTS.

Alta late farmers meeting in New
York, Mr.. Rice, speaking of planting
Chestnut timber remarked, that he plow.
ed up track of unProduc,ive hillside,
several years ago, and planted it with
chesnuss, in rows four feet apart every
way. The first sprouts coming up
rather crooked and scrubby, he went
over the field, and Gu, them down close
to the ground, which caused new
sprouts TO shoe, up straigh, and vIgo'
rous. The trees are very thrifty, com
ple,ely shading the ground, and grow
more and more rapidly as the soil be-
comes strengthened by the annual de-
posi-, of leaves. So well satisfied is he
with the experiment, that ne is now
placing other worthless lands in SINH
