Mormon Love Song.

The Valley Tan published at Salt Lake
City, came into possession of the following
lines, addressed by Mormon lover TO his
new flame, who seems slightly reluctant
10 be made "a number sixteen" in his lit
tie family. They will be pronounced al
most equal 10 James Gordon Bennett's
pathetic lines addressed to his MARY
ANN"
Say. Susan, wilt thou come with me. in
sweet community to live OF heart and
ha nd, and home TO thee, a sixteenth part
I'll freely give.
OF all the love that swelis my breast,
of all the honor of r,y name of worldly
wealth by me possessed, a sixteenth por-
tIon thou shalt claim.
Nay, tell me not TOO many share tie
blessings that l offer thee. Thou'lt find
but fifteen others there-a household ham

A moderate household, may say; my

thyself let thee choose such duties as
thy fancy please; Susan, canst thou still

them not.
Into thy hands such tasks as take Dig

To the Editors of the g. Mineral Point Tribune
GENrs;-On taking up an old copy of the N Y.
weekly Times the other day (dated January
22nd 1889 If | am not nistaken) I was struck
with an article on Negro slavery" in which the
following passage occurs-"The very best thing
that can be done towards the abolition of slav-
cry IS, for the people of the North to stop talk
ing ahoat It," On the impulse of the moment:
wrote the following stanzas, by way of reply.
In case you think them worth insertion in your

not, You can lay them aside.

Springfield, Minnesota, was frozen tc
death on the 9th or 9TH ult He was
forced to pass the night on an open prai
RE while returning from Mankato, and
in the morning found that his cattle had
strayed away. He started to find them

found dead in claims hanty some ter
miles distant from where his cattle
strayed.

Here the Code is quoted half through
Sec. 48, and the remainder Of Che sec
tion enables the Treasurer to do what
the Code never authorized, viz: to sell
realty instead Of personally whenever the
tax payer chooses TO do SO.
Section 400 of the Code directed the
Treasurer to offer at public sale all lands
on which the taxes levied the preceding
year still remain unpaid. The present
law permits the Treasurer to neglect the
sale of real property at least two years.
See Sec. so.
SIC. so. Before the first day Of September in
each year, the Treasurer shall offer at public
sale at the Court House in his county all lands
or other real property on which taxes of any
description shall have been delinquent and re-
manned due and unpaid for a longer time than
two years and such sale shall be made for and
/ in payment OF the total amount of axes of the
preceding three years due and unpaid on such
real property Such sale shall be valid if made
after the day above named.
Now, from all this, is it not plain that
the 18th General Assembly, in view of the
crushing financial crisis through which
the State is passing, deliberately softened
down, instead of increasing, the harsh
features Of the old law That our Treas
urer Is very good looking man, and a
iirst-rate officer, | have never heard dis
puted. That he will share greater
amount of z" anathema," than other treas
urers, of like good qualities, l cannot be-
lieve. If, however, he gets the notion
into his head that he is clothed with any
new or extraordinary powers, and under
takes TO experiment in the business o.
tax gathering, it would not be very
strange if little freedom of tongue
should be the result. Yours truly,
I. Z. TURNER.

ted, that is, that light is an effect due to
the waye-like agitation of an extremely
subtle matter, called luminiferous ether,

! In consequence of the repeated attacks which
have been made on me by Forwarding l. Com
mission Merchants Of Dubuque, through tho
columns OF the Express d Herald, for not deliy-
ering Freight destined west of Dubuque to them
when the packages were simply marked to their
care, but not consigned to them on Bill of La
ding, deem it my duty as Agent of the Mer-
chants Despatch TO place the matter before our
patrons as it really is, and allow them to Judge
for themselves of the business of the course pur-
sued by me during the last season in regard to
consigned freight. do not deny that have
repeatedly refused to deliver goods to Dubuque
Commission Merchants, even when the packa-
gcs have been SO marked because l supposed
that all persons who shipped by our line, did So
at the lowest possible rate per hundred pounds,
therefore IL have not considered it right that
Freight contracted by US should be subjec to
any extra charges at Dubuque when it could
easily be avoided. Great care has always been
observed to deliver goods gong west to the Du-
buque q Pacific railroad, at contract rates, col
Letting the same amount Of charges Of the Rail-
road that would have been collected of Dubuque
Commission Merchants, had the freight been
delivered to them, thereby saving to the owners
OF the freight commission of from Ten to Fic
teen Cents per Hundred Pounds. which they
would have paid had delivered the goods as
marked on packages. And further, wish it
distinctly understood by our patrons that 1t
makes no difference to me, pecuniarily or other
wise, to whom deliver their goods. If have
erred by taking this course, it is because I
hou9htby so doing was advancing the inter
ests OF our patrons If the Western patrons of
the Merchants Despatch wish me to deliver
their goods to Forwarding Merchants in Du,
buquc, and thus subject them to the extra
charges. all it is necessary for them to do is to
say SO, aud it shall be done but, they will also
please bear in mind that will deliver them on
board the Dubuque 4 Pacific cars at the same
rates. And in conclusion, will say, that if it
is your wish to pay u Dubuque Commission.
Merchant for shipping Your goods, when you
can easily avoid and get along without it, Of
