A MoTHER's Lovs.-We are indebted to
Lamartine's exquisitely fine zen, for the fol.
lowing touching and graphic illustration Of a
Mothers Love:
In some spring freshet, river widely
washed its shores and rent away bough,
whereon bird had built a cottage for her
summer hopes. Down the white and whirl-
ing stream, drfted the green branch, with
its wicker cup of unaedged song; and hutter.

Unheeding the roaring river, on she kept, her
cries Of agony and fear piercing the pauses Of
the storm. How like the love of the old
fashioned mother who followed the child
she had plucked from her heart, all over the
world. Swept away by passion, that might
be, il mattered not; bearing away with him,
the fragments of the shattered roof.tree,
though he did, yet that mother was with him,
a Ruth through all his life, and Rachel at
his death.

E- Gen. SCOTS report on the conditions
and wants of the army is published. 1t is
brief and to the point. He refers to the in
cessant Indiun wars, the harrassing duty there
BY imposed upon the army, the inadequate
force employed, and recommends an increase
of the army by the addition of one regiment
of horse and three regiments of foot; also
the enlistment of men for particular corps of
the service, as tending to promote military
efficiency. A revision Of the army regua-
tions and the infantry tactics in use is also
recommended, and suggestions regarding the
physical comfort and moral elevation of the
troops are made.

Tpg LADIES AND THE CRISIS.

Soon after Lots wife was sated, says the
New Orleans Courier, man began to find him.
self in pretty pickle. The first original
hustle was invented through that lady's habit
of looking back. Some SAYS she didn't like
her lot, and some say that she did; but be that
as il may, we shall always have liking for
Mrs. Lot, and look upon her as the best pre-
served woman of antiquity. ..-.
We were never so familiar with the wives
of the ancients as we are with those of the
moderns, owing probably to our not having
been fully alive in those days and sensible to
other peoples shortcomings. For Cleopatra's
needle we don't care pin; and, for Caesars
wife, we would be the last man to seize her.
Potiphar's wife was never after our style; and
rs for the woman-we forget the huzzy's
name-who wanted John the Baptist's head,
we think she might have been satisfied with
something else
The women of TODAY are the creatures we
60 in for. A New York journal has dared to
say that they caused the panic. We take up
arms in their behalf. How could woman be
so dear to us il we had not to foot her bills
She supports trade, and it was she who insti-
tuted the order of miliners, for which we
have not the slightest objection, and to speak
from personal experience she never caused us
to feel panic-stricken.
The lilies of the field dress well, why
should not the lilies of the earth? The first
good dressing We ever received was given us
at the hands of woman, otherwise we might
be wandering abroad us young Cupid at the
present hour. We went in for pants, know
ing that the women would be painting for
them. The strong. minded sisterhood of the
North were unable to steal them from U.S.
Address in addressing woman came to us in
the first boyish suit in which VIC we're in
volved.
The ladies' never caused the panic. We
say it emphatically. We have seen Powers
Greek Slave and dreamt of angels, but they
were never much to our taste, on account OF
the smallness of their wardrobe. The wing
of a chicken is better for decent man than
the wing of an angel, unless the said angel
have milliner.
But for hoops how could woman keep a
man at the proper distance! Space is want
ing, or we would enlarge upon this prolific
theme. We mean the hoops, and not the
women. The power to deal with women and
-srnoline at the same time is almost too much
for our superhuman pen; in fact at this mo-
ment we would rather deal with one at a
time. Still the crisis has been charged to
woman, and the British press--even the Lon
don Times-have dared to write jocosely on
the subject. 1t is time that they should know
as much of the decency of silence as the la
dies do of the decency of dress. The bills of
mantu-makers should be as acceptable to a
married man as the bills of birds, for without
billing there should be no cooing.

The UTAH ARMY.-The St. Louis Repub-
lican says: The expresses which have recent
" arrived at Fort Leavenworth, from the
Army of the West, bring information that
the whole force, with the exception of Col.
Cookies command, had concentrated on
Blacks Fork, and were moving towards Fort
Bridger. from which they were distant only
few miles. The progress Of the army was
exceedingly slow, sometimes making only
two or three miles day, and then encamping
in the night. The horses, mules, and other
animals were giving out hourly, and ii is not
worth while TO conceal the fact that all the
animals will perish this winter. While this
is the case, il is satisfactory to know that the
troops would soon be in position where
they could bid defiance to the Mormons, and
the clements would not harm them. The
supply trains had all arrived, and were in
company with the military, and there would
be an abundance of provisions for the whole
army. Fort Bridger, it will be recollected,
is ll3 miles from Great Salt Lake City, but
between that Fort and the city all the great
obstacles to the march of the army are inter-
posed. The drifting snow fills up the kan
ons and passes, and an impossible barrier is
presented to the march Of the troops until
next Spring.
We are gratfed TO learn that there are
thirty-fve companies of United States troops
in Kansas, the whole of which may be put
in readiness for march across the plains by
the middle of April next. These can be fol-
lowed by the new regiments, large portion
of whom, il must always be borne in mind,
must be detailed to escort the baggage trains,
but if the proper measures nre at one ndop-
ted, the new army will be in Great Salt Lake
City before the lst of July. Whether they
will find the Mormons there, or anything but
bleak desolation, is another matter.

The Grsat Revival.

An entire new and unbeard Of impulse has,
during the last fe W months been Witnessed on
the subiet of Religion, unlike anything the
world ever before. An entire revolution
seems to have sprung up everywhere, as if by
magic. and that almost simultaneously 1t be-
comes matter of deep and alb sorbing interest,

mated. When We review the history of the
post, we almost universally discover that all
great revolutions or upheavIngs of even small
portion Of the worlds population, of any ques-
ton whatever has been achieved by correspon-
ding efforts. Revivals in the different churches
have generally heretofore been preceded by
much preparation, and carried forward by much
labor on the part Of the membership. Have we
any evidence that the present great revival, ex-
tending to nearly all the churches, has had lis
origin in any deep laid plan, or il. any uniyer-
