has large stock on hand which he propo-

He also showed us large assortment Of
the best farming implements, such as Ra-

farmers to give him call and they will
doubtless do well.

Deenlv do the parents and friends mourn

Dear Milton NJ, thou art gone to resi-,
And | no more can see
The gladness of that happy smile
That was so dear to me.
NJ. NJ. thou art dead but oh 1t was
A kindly angel came
To bear you from this world OF change
To an eternal home.
Too pure and sweet thy spirit was
For this cold world to blight,
So God in mercy called thee home
To his pure realms oflight.
Then weep not mother for the lost
And father, grieve not thou;
For Milton wears the diadem
Of angels his brow.
Friends mourn not, tho to darksome eareh
His beauteous form you gave,
Your Milton lives in that blest world
Of light beyond the grave.
And tho we sadly miss his smile
Our sorrowing hearts to cheer,
How can we wish him back again
To this cold world SO drear
Then weep not. in few short years
The sands of life will run,
A, III Milton we will meet in Heaven,
Father, thy viii be done.

Mr.. BUCHANAN:

Mr.. BUCHANAN:
Dear Sir Mr.. - is the Postmaster
at this place, and he has gone out West,
and has been gone for three or four weeks
and he has no deputy here, but | have
been opening the mails and attending to
it since he has been gone, as he left the
key with me, and the Postmaster told me
/ must make a report at the end of every
month, and did not tell me who was to
write to, but suppose it is to you we
should make our reports, as we are all
citizens of the government of which you
are now the President If you are not
the right one to receive the report, please
drop me few lines, letting me know who
l am to report to, and [ will write again.
Report at the end Of April.-The
weather is cold for the season-provisions
scarce and very high-but, notwithstand-
ing all that, we have regular mails once a
week, good health, and the people of this
county are universally pleased with your
administration this is all I know that
would interest you if there is anything
omitted in my report please let me know.
My best respects to you and Mrs. Buch-
anan.

Books written when the soul is at spring tide,
When it is laden like groaning sky
Before thunder storm, are power and glad
ness,
And majesty and beauty. They seize the
reader
AS tempests seize ship, and bear him on
With wild joy.
What power in books!
They mingle gloom and splendor, as I've oft,
In thund'r ous sunsets, seen the thunder piles
Scanned with dull fire and fiercest glory rents.
They awe me to my knees as if stood
In presence of king"
This is what Alexander Smith says of
books, and many well informed people
think that printing is fine thing and
books are very desirable companions
To such we would say, that Mckee OF
Prescott, has good assortment and
those wishing to buy would do well to
examine his stock. His advertisement
may be seen in our paper to-day.

with entire unanimity to arrest the issue of the
work that had been before them,p on the Duties

Society has assumed; and the Executive Com
mittee united DIR. Adams, of Boston, con.

would find no" Mormon "readers; and for the

Society, all further opportunity of sending thith-
erward the large body of publications we have
hitherto, under Gods manifest blessing, scat
tered there "-as it is selfevident that an
emasculsted Gospel is better than none; that @
minister had better agree to forego preaching
the whole Gospel, than deprive himself, and
those perishing for lack of knowledge, of such
parts of Scripture as do not conflict with their
passions or interests.
Sin the further developments of Gods good
providence, and to the guidance of his Spirit,

peace, and aiming to secure the " fruit Of right

The Boston Transcript says: HThe differ.
ence in the assessed valuation of Boston and
New York is but little, while the latter has more
than four times the population of the former.
In personal property, tared, New York does not
lead Boston to any considerable extent. The
wealth of Boston, per capita, greatly surpasses
that of any other community in the United
States. Our people are large owners of stocks,
merchandise, ships, carriages, and other real
property. New Bedford and Providence, two
of the richest cities in the Union, have one
thousand dollars to each person or inhabitant !;
Philadelphia and Baltimore have short of FIVE
hundred dollars, and New York has about eight
hundred dollars to each person, while Boston
has nearly fifteen hundred dollars to each per-
son resident within its limits"
