MILITARY BALL IN UTAH.
The officers of the battalion of Life Guards. pa
raded in the capacity of military ball, at the house
Of Lieut.. NV. Jones, on Monday the 29:h March,
at two o'clock p. VI. The party was favored with
the presence Of His Excellency President Young,
and President Kimball and General Wells. A more
social assembly and finer time has not been cxpe-
rienced in any place The ball was opened by prayer
from the host, Lieut.. Jones, when the following
ADDRESS
was delivered by Captain James Ferguson, on
behalf Of the battalion Of Life Guards of the Nau-
VOC Legion-
Brethren and Sisters--For the first time have we
assembled in the capacity Of party of the Boys.
Often indeed have we all been associated in festi-
walls, and enjoyed together the song and the dance;
but never as now. The toyey trappngs Of the table
in former times and the soft eheminate looks Of
come one that dropped in, i'll compared with the
pleasing rudeness Of soldiers life. This is mill
tary ball; here We have the rudeness of the camp;
here hang the colors Defend here hang the still
honorable sabres that form our companions in the
field; around us are the household gods we have
enlisted to protect, and before the chieftans
ne love to obey. And for what have We
met here! What is military ball Where
are your lexicons Can we find the meaning
Of the words in them, or will they no. meet
with the same response from custom in this that
they do in . myriad other words and customs
Dictionaries. you lie military ball does net mean
military ball. Custom makes il an association OF
sashes and oaths. OF epauletts and bragadocia, OF
uniform and ribaldry, Of mustaches and seduction,
ofimpudence and eowardce. The words imply
convention Of caution and vaor of beauty and honor
Of friendship and peace. What, then, shall we fol-
low! The customs of graduated corruption, or the
true import Of the soards' Whatever is is right.
If corrupt hearts assemble together and deseerate
the Preside of thoir friends, or the ball room, to
and ysay It !. s SHa ssInss s ss

each other and throw OF the tolls of the camp or
body tina. are given them, that they may be The
more prepared for ether tolls and cares-it ie right
right that the name Of our father may be honored
and his children enjoy themselves. For this, then,
VIC have asscmbled-to honor God and refresh our
selves How happy and how peaceful And yet.
and yet, there i. psng-and yet, there i. deep,
deep sigh. can see the tear on the riddles, cheek
the stoutest heart doth palptate; We are no. all
here. One is missing that would have been here
David be is gone No more will the merry sound
Of the assembly echo through The brazen tubes of
mortal trumpet from his lips no more will we hear
from him the reveilie and the tatoo. He has gone
to his grave bis waltzes and his quicksteps are
silent no more prances the war horse to the time
Of his bugle; but viii We not hear him again will
he not hail us FROM sleep with reveille OF i'm
music Of better world Oh, yes, we will hear him
again. The flower cut down 80 early will bloom
again. His winter has commenced, but his spring
| tide will soon come, and bring out the buds Of i'm
mortality.
Farewell farewell to the comrsde most faithful
Thy trumpet is silent. the mouthpiece Is gone
Yet again Oh swectlyswth gestures graceful,
Wilt thou plsy on its valves in loftier tone.
A thousand recollections crowd upon US now !!
The yengeiul cheitains Of savage race, seems TO
glare wildly upon u.s. The horrors of campaign
in the winter, and the destroying heat Of the sum
mer desert are recalled And that holy escort, that
formed guard front and our wings and rear,
is recalled too, and the recollscions all happy.
The prayers Of leaders and friends are recalled
TOO, and We arc grateful Inc friendship anu WEI
come of our cheftains recalled too and we are
devoted. We have not come as do the ungody, to
trunpet the applause Of their butchery. We have
come to perpetuate peace and union. We have
come 10 talk over the tolls endured, and see how
much we have to thank the L ord for. Oursis no. q
contest fo- honor (sucn honor the world gve).
II is contest for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for ourselves
and for those with whom we fight. If we shed
blood, it is that atonement may be made. we are
soldiers that we may DO saviors. We are instru-
ments 10 be used. Here, then, do offer ourselves,
chieftains Of Israel The follies and the faults of
youth and imperfect manhood have been ours. For
give them-command, we obey
The simplicity Of the affair, the sociability Of the
company, and the kind and manly department Of
the few who always ready and obedent to de-
fend the saints and asseil her brawny enemies,
dsreS the affair extremely agreeable. The party
broke up soon after midnight and was dismissed by
bencdiction from Gen. Wells
