THE HERALD.
The Baby.

In his recent volume, entitled
Society and Solitude. Ralph Waldo
Emmerson says:
"The perfection of the providence
for childhood is easily acknowledged.
The cares which cover the seeds of
the tree under rough husks and
stony cases, provide for the human
plant the mothers breast and the
fathers house. The size of the
nestler is comic, and its tiny beseech-
ing weakness is compensated per-
tectly, by the one happy patronizing
look of mother, who is a sort of high
reposing providence toward it. Wei
come TO the parents the puny strug-
gle strong in his weakness, his little
arms more irresistible than the SOL
dier's, his lips touched with persua-
sion which Chatham and Perricles
in manhood had not. His unaffected
lamentations when he lifts up his
voice on high, or more beautiful the
sobbing child-the face all liquid
grief, as he tries to swallow his vex-
ation-softens all hearts to pity, and
TO mirthful and clamorous compass
sion.
The small deposit asks so little
that all reason and all nature are on
his side. His ignorance is more
charming than ell knowledge, and his
little sins more bewitching than any
virtue. His flesh is angels flesh,
all alive Infancy says Coleridge,
presents body and spirit in unity
the body is all animated All day,
between his three or four sleeps, he
COOS like a pigeon house, sputters
and spurs, and then puts on q face
of Importance, and when he fasts,
tho little Pharisec fails not to sound
his trumpet before him. by lamp
light, he delights in shadows on the
wall by daylight in yellow and
scarlet,
Garry him ont Of doors--ho is
overpowored by the light and the
extent Of natural objects and is
silent. Then presently begins bis
use OF his fingers and ho studies
power--tho lesson OF his race
First il appears in no great harm, in
architectural tastes. Out Of blocks,
thread spoois, cards and checkers,
he will build his pyramids with tho

Tic apparatus Of whistle and rattle,
he explores the laws of sound.
But chiefly, like his senior coun-
trymcn, the young American studies

Of his small logs, he wishes TO ride,
on the necks and shoulders OF all

can withstand--seniority Of age, nor

ISLANDERS. 1 have had to contend
with misrepresentation and lies, and
everything that is indecent, and dis

test, while tho Wood, the Excelsior,
and the Marsh Harvester, were in
the field, that we had the Machine
for oil purposes for which combined
Machine can be used.
Our wheat is quite short, the
heads are heavy. There is great
complaint of the Wood Machine
in fact it cannot reap short wheat,
and our oat crop being very short,
and that my impression at this
time Is, unless they can do something
for it in this respect, it will play out.
ScUeral men are IN noe, demanding the
immediate frjag Of their Machines, or
they are going back. The Marsh
Harvester is not doing much. | am

vance, q Machine which is entirely

PREYENTATIvEs OF SUNsTRoKEs.-
As the hot weather is now upon us,
q few hints in regard to sunstroke
may not be amiss. Some men have
the prudence TO place cabbage leaves
in their hats, but this, though effect
ual, is clumsy continuance. One of
the best representatives. is a thin piece
of sponge loosely sewed in the top
of the hat and occasionally moisten-
ed with water in the course of the
day. A wet pocket-handkerchief in
side the crown of the hat is also an
excellent preventative of sunstroke.
The precautions are so obvious and
simple that people do not regard
them. Were they complicated and
expensive, their use would be more
general,

Yesterday | put the first Advance
of the. season at work on the jackson
farm, near the city. The Messrs.
Jackson took it for trial with the
Buckeye aud Climax Machines, but
when Il came to the point, the agents
for both these Machines backed out,
and the Advance had TO go it alone.
We started it in wheat that was
very short, and we had to cut close
to the ground, though the ground
was rough, it cut and worked to
perfection Jacksons acknowledge
1T exceeds all their expectations.

ToUCuTNG INCIDENT. -Sometimes
incidents OF n touching character will
transpire in the precincts Of the un-
sentimental express office. For in
stance, an expressman upon reaching
his Office one cold morning in Janu-
airy, observed on the sidewalk long.
heavy box, which his practical eye at
once identified az containing corpse.
Upon one end Of the box, shiverine
with the cold, sat little halfclad
boy about seven or eight years of
age. Addressing him kindly, he said /:
"My lad, don't sit there, you will
freeze come in and sit by the stove"
Bursting into tears, the little fell
low replied, "No, can't come in,
my mother is in this box and | prom
ised her | would never leave her
until we got home"
Deeply affected with the touching
devotion of this brave little fellow
he finally succeeded in convincing him
of the entire safety of his precious
charge, and taking him over to a
neigboring restaurant, gave him a
warm breakfast, and learned the par
ticulars of his sad story. His father
died about year previously, in
remote village in Minnesota, leaving
mis- mother in poor health and nearly
destitute. She died but q few days
before the boys sad journey, chsrg-
ing the little hero with the duty of
conveying her remains to her friends
IN a distant State, and furnishing
him with GALL she had) a sum of
money barely sufficient to carry them
both by freight cars to their destina-
ton. The little fellow had actually
ridden night and day in a freight
car with his melancholy trust. never
for a moment losing sight of it.

We have beforetimo given gossipy
extracts from the letters of visitors
to Mormondom, relative to Brigham
Young's domestic affairs but the
following, from q communication in
the Cincinnati Gazette contains some
details we do not remember TO have
previously seen:
'rhe rooms Of the women are very
much alike and furnished nearly alike.
They are plain, but comfortable
The women live in them precisely as
people do at a hotel. Each lady has
her own key, and when she goes out
she locks her door There is little
visiting back and forth, and the la
dies behave very much as guests do
at frst-class hotel. Every morning
and evening at the ring of the bell,
the inmates Of the harem meet in the
great parlors, to attend prayers
They sing a hymn and Young prays
fervently. The prophet used to eat
at the harem with his wives, but he
seldom does now. In the morning,
on rising, each woman puts her room
in order, and if she has children,
dresses them for breakfast.
after prayers they oil go to break
fast, tho ladies with children sitting
at little family tables, and those with
out children at the common table.
The same food is given to oil, and
the bill Of fare is by no means poor
one. Brigham, from time TO time,
designates some Of his wives to take
charge of tho cooking, and they re-
main on duty until relieved during
tho day tho women walk out, sew,
sing, play the piano in tho parlor, or
walk with tho children. Most Of
them spin, make cloth, and color it.
They are worry proud Of their cloth
and embroidery. In the evening, all
hands go TO tho theatre, where every
one Of Brigham's wives has q reserv-
cd seat. 1t is said Young liborally
supplies his wives with money, and
on fine days they drive out and go
shopping. He employs music
teacher French teacher and dancing
master for the use Of his household.
Brigham's women arc we'll dressed,
but they have to work hard, and he
keeps up wholesome discipline over
them

some meetings there are as many as fifty arti-
Giles to act upon. In the proposed division
one part would contain Is square miles, $50
voters, and valuation of 81, 700, 900. The
other will containl Is square miles, 700 polls,
and about 81 ,000, 900 valuation. Town pop
ulation over 5000 ESQ voters ask to be in
corporatcd into town. The rights of
all portions are to be regarded, and it
would, of course, be wrong to dismember the
town if the result would be injurious. Does
not see where the remonstrants can suffer
any wrong if the town is divided. The bill
is carefully drawn and guarded. Favors the
division and moved that the minority report
be substituted for the majority report.
Mr.. WEBB said if the Senator who spoke
before had been member of the committee,
he would not hold such opinions upon the
subject. When more than 700 voters ask
that the town be not divided would it not be
arbitrary to do so? Towns have a right to
divide themselves into voting districts, but
Wcstbrook has not availcd themselves of the
right, therefore it follows that they do not
suffer from the present condition of things.
Had supposed that there was to be Il bitter con-
test upon this question before the committee,
but everything was conducted in quiet and
gentlcmanly manner.
For twenty years there has been but three
cases where it was necessary to adjourn the
town meeting in order to finish the business.
The petitioners failed in almost every case to
establish before the committee the truth of
the assertions contained in the petition for
division.
Pending the question the Senator gave way
