asked, what 10 it for, them | answer that my body
may keep pace with my mind Ny miad labors like
man logging, all the time; and this is the why
am fond of these pastirnes; they give privilege
to throw everything off and shake myself, that my
body may exercise and my mind rest. What for
To get strength and be renewed and quickened, and
enlivened, and animated go that my mind may not
wear cut Experience tells US that most OF the
inhabitants of the earth out their bodies without
wearing their minds at all through the sutferngs they
endure from hard labor, with distress poverty, and
want While on the other hand, great PARTON OF
mankind wear out their bodies without aborng, only
In anxiety But when men are brought to labor en-.
rey in the field of intelligence, there few minds
to be found possessing strength enough to bear all
things the mind becomes ov-rchsrged, and when this
is The case, begins TO wear upcn the body, which
will sink for want of The proper exercises. This Is
the reason why believe in and practice what do.
The question might be osked, why not go iato the
kanyons and get out wood which would be good ex
ercise enoughi If you would know, come up to my
house. you will soon find out Were to go to the kan

The Meas says
We understand that Governor Young has loom In
his sitting room in which has been wOve by HE family
more than 500 yards of cloth the present season. If
there any poor folks among u.s. they need not be
ashamed TO work If they are 60 and live awhile with
the Governor and they will get cured of their azness
We also understand that the Governors lady has offered
the use of her loom to her neghbors who have none,
to their cloth, end board them while weaving
If all follow this example, shall not need to write
much longer about home manufacture or Lady Wash
ington Lady Young is the example of the day for
Deseret.
