A Man.


! love 10 see man whose acts
The title wei may claim;
Whose lips despise not COMMON sEN5K,
And on whose brow intelligence
Inscribes its glorions name
Bright eyes that flash Indignantly,
Disdaining hattery's dover;
With form erect, life's blasts to brave,
Too proud to yield himself slave
Topassion's baneful power.
A mind with useful knowledge stored,
In truth and virtue strong;
With smiles of love upon his cheek,
And lips that know not how to speak
A falsehood or wrong
A soul that feels its destiny
Is not alone for earth;
Who counts not birth or ancestry,
But patents his nobility
by deeds ofhighest worth
No cringing suppliant for gain
/ Beneath d tyrant's rod;
But with an independent heart.
Resolves to nobly act the part
Design'd for him by Goo.
This is the man l love to see,
Deserving honor, fame
The heir of immortality,
Who elevates humanity,
And glorifes its name

Better Late than Never

Life is a race where some succeed,
While others are beginning;
'Tis luck al times, at Others speed,
That gives an early winning;
But if you chance to fall behind,
Meier slacken your endeavor. -, r.s
Bnt keep this wholesome truth Ia mind
IT'S better late than never,
Ifyou can keep ahead It's well,
But never trip your neighbour
IT'S noble whenryou can excel
BY honest, patient labor
But If you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bold rs ever;
Remember, though you were surpassed,
'Tis better late than never
Ne'er labor for an idle boast
Of victory DER another; ..
But while you strive your uppermost,
Deal fairly with brother.
Whate'e your station, do your best.
And hold your purpose ever;
And if you fail to beat the rest,
IT'S better late than never.
Choose well the path in which you run
Succeed by noble daring;
Then, tho the last, when once It's won,
Your crown is worth the wearing.
Then never fret if left behind,
Nor slacken your endeayor;
But ever keep this truth in mind.
Tis bsJter late than never.

GREAT EXCITE MENT 4!

pRIGHAM YOUNG has about attained
D The acme of his ambition. Feeling
that there was one name to descend to pos.
terity which would be venerated with mora
holy reverence than his own--that of "Joe
Smith "--he saw that it was incumbent
upon him, in order to have the memory Of
himself forever perpetuated among the
"Saints" as the great Head and AM Of the
ignoble Mormon institution, to kick up an
excitement and occasion n conflict with
Uncle Sam, for the purpose of having the
impression go abroad to the world that they
were an unjustly oppressed people, and
thereby make him, as their present great
prophet, another aye great martyr" Of
magnitude superior to their now worship
ped one. Well, he has succeeded, and soon
