The Wooden Spoon.

Last evening the far famed Wooden Spoon
exhibition Of Yale College took place at Music
Hall. Long before the hours Of opening. the
entrance was crowded with hundreds If peo-
ple The audience was not as brilliant as
usual though the GOODNESS Of the evening was
most favorable to a good exhibition. Tho Lail
was sparsely trimmed with few hanging
baskets. There was an absence Of that floral
beauty which generally is taken us indicating
tie interest which the fair sex Of the city take
in the exhibition.
The opening load consisted Of large gilt
6gurc eight, which opened after the curtain
rose and the innate gentleman Mr.. j. G. Elo
the wooden spoon man, stepped out and made
his bow to the audience, The salutatory, =
composition Of mongrel Latin and English, by
Mr.. Bissell, was the first exercise. The Pre-
ssnta.ion of the Spoon followed, Mr.. Hinklc
making the presentation speech. The college
tragedy "Letters Of Mark was written by
Mr.. L. II. Bragg. The tragedy itself was very
well written and received the highest encomi-
ums Of the best judges Of the drama. Ii was
in itself the most meritorious thing Of the
evening Mr.. Brown, the brother to II. A.

PROPHECY.

brother Of Mr. Gregory, Of this County.
On visiting Salt Lake City, accidentally picked
up Mormon book in which he found the fol-
lowing prophecy made by Joseph Smith, pur.
porting to have.besn given under date OF Q
osmber 25, 1892. The wars that awili shortly
come have come, lightning at South Carolina
and may end in Utah:
','Verily, thus saith the Lord. concerning the
wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning
at the rebellion Of South Carolina, which will
eventually terminate in the death and misery
Of many souls. The days will come that war
will be poured out upon all nations, beginning
at that place; for behold, the Southern States
shall be divided agsinst the Northern States,
and the Southern States will call on other nas
tions, in order to defend themselves aoei-s.
other nar1ons, aHu tnus war,.ahall be poured
out upon all nations. And it shall come 10
pass after many days. slaves shall rise no a,
gainst their masters, who shall be marshaied
and disciplined for war; and it shall come TO
pass also, that the remnants who are left on
the land will marshall themselves; AMI shall
become exceedingly angry, and shall vex the
gentiles with a sore vexation; and thus, with.
the sword and by b.oolshcd, the inhabiiants
of the earth sLall mourn; and with famine
and plague and earthquakes, and the thunder
Of Heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning,
also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be
made to feel the wrath, al d Indignation and
chasien;sg hand ofan Almighty God, until
the consumption decreed, hath made full en-
Of all nations; that the cry Of the Saints, and
the blood Of the Saints. slial, cease to come IN
into the cars Of the Lord Of Sabbaoth from the
earth, to be avenged o!their enemies. Where
fore, stand ye in holy places and be not moved
until the day Of the lord c,m,; for beholi il

losD is the Summer s busy song,
The smallest breeze can find tongue
While insects of each tiny size
Grew teasing with their melodies.
Till roon burns with lis blisteriag breath
Around, and day lies still as death.
The busy noise of man ard brute
Is on sudden lost and mute;
Even the brook that leaps along,
Seems -~~r, of IT'S hubbling seng,
And, so soft its waters creep
Tired silence sinks in sounder slesr;
The cricket on its bank is dumb;
The very flies forget TO hum;
And, save the wagon rocking round.
The Landscape sleeps without sound.
The breeze is stopped, the lazy bough
Hath not a leaf that dancsth now:
The taller grass upon the hill,
And spiders threads. are standing still;
The feathers, dropped from moore W ing
Which 10 ,hs.waters surface cling,
Are steadfast, and as heavy seem
As stones beneath them in the stream:
Hawkweed and g.oundsel.s fanny downs
Unruialed keep thc.r sesdy crowns;
And in the ov.r-l.ea.ed air
Not one light thing is floating there,
Save that 10 the earnest eye
The restless heat seems twitterinc by.
Noon swoons beneath the heat it made,
And flowers, cen within the shade;
Until the sun slopes in the West.
Like weary traveller, glad to rest
On pillowei clouds Of many hucs.
Then Natures voice its joy renews,
And checkcrsd field and grassy plain
Hum with their Summer songs again,
requiem to the days decline,
Whose setting sunbeams coolly shine
As welcome to,days feeble powers
As falling dews to thirsty flowers
