CHANGE.

The crowd lives on from year TO year,
And no mysterious voices bear 49, -. !.
From that old instrument Of time
First rang In paradise it, chime;
Yet age on age new strings were strung,
year alter year new tones were rung
That vibrate in our ears to-day.
And on--on endless years will play.
here's scarce a fee ling thrills the heart
hat finds not there a Counterpart
Scarce an emotion moves the mind
But Tar bnck IN the past We find,
Ard wandering in her dreams anew
The bosom thrills at every view.
Yet all, one tune deep and elenr
Strikes heavy On the listening ear
Where'er In the far Past We range
The sound comes deep and eonstant-Change
Still backward into other years
Ihe mind floats and the hopes and fears,
The joys and SORROWS, friendships smile,
That eIst did of the hours beguie.
The tears of parting that we shed.
The words Of farewell that we soid
Come DER us like mOonljt night
And In the misty past the sprite
Holds commune with those friends of yore,
Whose deepest heart thrilled DER and DER.
ANA twlned To ours those tender chords
ubat md Counterpart IN words,
Hold on the deePs feelings take
And break but when tho heart doth breok
But from their cold and silent tombs
Change like midnig ghtshadow comes.
And where-O where III, spirit flown
why not another hour begniIe
Thy father to the tender smiie7
Where tell me where the hopes oft spoken
Almost too tender To be broken,
mat twinrd around thee? Tho cold ground
Speeks, and from her damp sods re- sound
ZONES pregnant with hot tenrs and strange
whispering with ceaseless murmur-Change,
Change is the watchword of the past;
Ger all her dreams nor only here,
IL echoes from higher sphere
For in The stiffness of the night.
As guided by the moons pale light,
Or by the twinkling of each star
wander in the ,ool night air;
Or SIT nprn the rocky shore
AMI lIseen to the wId waves roar
Or the low murmur of the breeze
hat rustles in tn o'ershadowing trees.
There Is silent voice hear
Seems echoing from the upper sphere,
IND there's presence that | feel
Athwart my whole frame slowly steal.
The friends that did love- once more
Around me gather us b, lore
And pointing 10 that world on high
Whore angels dwell eyond the sky,
Ihey whisper to my soul To Change
This wordof conflict wild and strange
10 change tins orldof sin and woe
FOR that where love aud joy o'eraow.

A pendulum 'twixt JOY AMI strifel
Now wealth with all her lming smiles
And hanehty cOh"rings beguiles
Us with her ercharms; but Change comes N
Andali her promises are gone.
Then pleasures cup j.vltes the grasp
And with ioyons hand we clasp
The hlossominG buds OF joy arise.
Unfold their beauties 20 our e,,Ss
And seizc theml Seizeli the e asp we essay;
rinn hilehts them and they iade away.
flames smiles uponus aud ", gaze
On 'he renowned of other days,
And grasp the lnutels that they won;
But Changc-ah Change! our hopes ore gone.
O Change, what shall W. say Of thee1
what mortal from thy touch is free2
From birth down 10 the tomb We stand
Bnt Nassals 10 tLy stern command.
And gazing down in deaths cold lldo
We GLANCE upon the other side,
Change tie cold friends around us here
TO. true hearts in another sphere,
Aye Change this tickle, clay abode
For Heaven. angels and for God.

ham has hit upon new plan oi making
money out of his miserable, deluded tol-
lowers. Instead Of specie, the currency OF
the Valley now is bills printed on tissue
Iaper, bearing on their face the following
The Deserel Currency Association prom
ise to pay on demand ono dollar (sD upol
the presentation of one hundred dollars
In live stock. (Signed)
BRIGHAM YouNo, President.
II. B. CLAwsoN, Treasurer"
These bills range from the value of 81
up to $50, and are embellished with
wood cut Of plow on one side and bee
hive on the o,her; they are printed, no
engraved. Brigham's idea in this spccula
tion is very obvious. He has on hand sew
eral thousand head of cattle, belonging t.
the church; these he will deliver at hi
own price when they are demanded in pay
ment Of these notes, Which mus: be pre-
sentcd in sums of not less than 800. L
order to add still more TO the profits OF hi
scheme, he has issu d all the notes
small sums, and printed thcm on tssu
paper, increasing the probability OF th
loss of these notes as much as possible.
