The Old School-House Spring.
INSCRIBED TO A TREND.


BY thy. cool, sparkling waters, thou dear ''old
spring.
Again | am sitting as in days Of yore;
But alone-'all alone;" the breezes no echoes
bring
Of the shout and the song; they are heard here
no more.
Each familiar face rises fresh to my view,
l quaff thy pure waters, and dream of the past
Their names are the spell that binds me to thee,
And memory's links shall be bright to the last.
Oh, days of my childhood! Oh, why do I weep ?
These green, whispering trees and this pure, rip
pling stream,
Are waiting a song my heart would fain keep,
song of the Past not quite all dream.
A Hope for the Future; Dream for the Present;
A Tear for the Past all blended in one;
Mingled emotions are trembling for utterance,
Thoughts, borne with thy ripples are floating
along.
Enchanted spot! Remembrance claims q regret
But euer through life one fond thought a0iU turn
to thee.
The happiest hours of childhood, can 1 forget?
Were spent here in gladness, in mirth, and in
glee.
[ kneel by thy fresh flowing fount ''old spring, y
And drink to the memory Of long ago;
Accept the tribute my heart would bring,
tribute of affection l tain would bestow

For the Spectator.
For the County Court.

Mr. Editor AS the county levy will be laid
at the next term Of the June Court, I think it
an appropriate occasion to call the attention of
the Court to a subject which calls loudly for re-
form. The county is heavily taxed for county
purposes; yet the poor, being the more numer-
Gus class, bear the heavy proportion Of the tax.
Should not those who have large material in
terests in the county bear a tax proportionate to
that interest? In looking over the assessment
books Of this county, find Mr.. F-'s property
is valued fifty thousand dollars, and Mr.. D-'s
property is valued at fifty dollars. Yet strange
to say, while Mr.. F. paid three dollars county
tax for 1865, Mr. D paid niae dollars. Is
there any justice or reason in such discrimina-
ton against the poor and in favor of the rich
This unequal and unjust tax is now driving ma
ny OF the industrious, honest laboring men from
the country, while the idle and vicious, who
never pay their taxes, remain with us. Let the
County Court equaize the taxes by assessing a
property tax, as well as a Capitation tax
In these times of high taxes to hear the oft
repeated adage, Blessed is he that hath moth
ing But the County Court (by their assess
ments) would seem to say Cursed is he that
hath many children. REFORM

An Editors Trials in Utah.

The Nidette, wide-awake Gentle paper.
has, for some time past, been published in Salt
Lake City, boarding the Mormon devils in their
own den, to the great discomfort of their
''Saintships" The editor recently received a
letter written in blood-or red ink-which
reads-9sg Skedaddle! 1t is the red hand"
of the Destroying Angel and threatens assassi-
nation. The editor is not much frightened by
the order, but says:
'Well, we shall keep the document, and
leave our readers to judge whether we are much
frightened. If these miserable hounds and cut
throats think they can intimidate the Ndettc,-
why, they are simply mistaken. We have spo-
ken plainly in the past, and we shall speak still
more plainly in the future, holding ourselves ac-
cOuntable only to God, our conscience, and the
laws of the land

warning of which he says: ''We stop the
