LET Us TRY TO BE HAPPY.

Let us try to be happy! may if we will
Find some pleasures life to DER balance the Ill;
There was never an evil, if well understood,
But what, rightly managed would turn to a
good
If we were but as ready to look to the light
As we are to set moping because it is night
We should own it truth. both in word and In
deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed
Let us try to be happy! some shades of regret
Are sure to hang round. which cannot forget;
There are times when the lightest of spirits must
bow
And the sunniest face wear cloud on its brow;
We must never bid feelings the purest and best,
To lie blunted and cold in our bosoms at rest;
But the deeper grief. the greater our need
To try to be happy, lest other hearts bleed
OH try to be happyl it is not for long
WeshaIl cheer on each other BY counsel or song;
If we make the best of our time that we may,
There Is much we can do to enliven the way
Let US only in earnestness each do our best
Before God and conscience, and trust for
the rest
Still, taking this truth both In word ana in deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.

The Ebenezer Society.

4 society existing under this name. in the vi
cinity OF Buffalo. n Y, has attracted the atten-

granting certain privileges to an association of
persons, giving them power TO hold real estate,
and TO have share of the personal effects of any
who might Join the organization The name
which the association has adopted. and by which
they known, is the -Ebenezer SOCIETY," and
it numbers at the present time some tlve hundred
persons, all foreigners of the German Swiss order
They have three villages, where they carry on
woolen and cotton manufactures. They also raise
their own provisions, holding sufficient land for
that purpose. The property of the community Is
now estimated to be worth FIVE to SIX millions of
dollars, but taxes assessed upon three hundred
thousand dollars only. They are beginning to
mix in politics, and they vote for their own inter-
ests without respect to party considerations
The society is governed in religion by pro-
phet who claims be spiritually equal with Jesus
Christ, and who speaks by Inspiration Marriage
is respected among them, at least SO far as ascer
tanned In temporal matters. the government of
the society vested fourteen trustees who
transact all business. but who not compelled
to labor. All adults Obliged to labor and re-
ceive thirty-eeyen and half cents per day ior
their services. while in return they are charged
for their food and clothing, and, il, at the end Of
the year a balance be found in their favor, it is
placed in the treasury for the benefit of the socie
tyl The condition OF the labOreTs is but little re-
moved from that of slavery. while that Of the
trustees is one of independence and ease One OF
the late revelations to tteir prophet is, that the
region is not favorable TO their prosperity, that it
is becoming too corrupt and that they must
seek new home in the West, beyond the reach
OF the corrupting influences of outside society.
The organization is d species OF socialism. with
a religion not quite 50 corrupt Mormonisnl, but
in " !ich temporal benefits are far worse. As the
society exists by law OF the State the State has
right TO investigate its affairs. The present in
quiry arises from the holding back OF the society
in its returns of property for taxation and the
suits will be detrimental to the well being of the
organization, in that it publishes to the world its
repulsive features and also increases its tax list
1t is presumed that the society will heed the re-
cent inspiration OF the prophet and remove to the
West.
