EooNoMY.-Economy is one of those prac-
teal virtues which arc supposed TO require a
great deal Of self denial. and consequently to
merit a great deal of praise. A man has dug
and delved for a lifetime made himself rich,
died a millionaire, and his admirers demand
for him the homage of all respectable peo-
pie. His chief virtue was economy. for his
natural abilities in the art of foreseeing cal
culating, however worthy of admiration are
scarcely regarded as virtues The defunct
rich man made his fortune by economy, or,
to say the least he could not have made it
without economy.
What does the word mean? Does IL inn
ply that the deceased rich man, having an
income of ten thousand year. spent only
three hundred? Does it mean that he housed
his shriyeled bones in an attic through
which no chimney passed Does it mean
that he fed his body on mush and molasses,
on small potatoes and bull beef? Does it
mean that he wore cast-otf clothes, went to
bed at sundown to save candles, that he let
his own brother die in the poor house, that
he starved his soul as well as his body? Does
it mean that he never married because
wife and children are expensive luXuries
Undoubtedly this has been the meaning of
the word to thousands Of poor rich men.

There is man, a head of family, living
in this citv. from Utah, who was threatened
with the loss of his head, two to three years
ago. bv Bishop Aaron johnson of Springville.
This gentleman was forbidden to bring his
daughter away from there, and he was obli-
ged to leave for California in the nigh time,
when Johnson was absent from Springville, AT
Salt Lake City. A teamster from Salt Lake
who was lately here after goods, stopped with
the gentleman of whom l speak and he gave
expression freely to the sentiment, that i
Brigham Young should tell him to kill any
one, he should do it.
