OF course, in body like the House OF
Representatives where there are so many
members, many of whom have served
several terms, Il new member has no op-
portunity to make himself prominent
The most he can do is to attend strictly
to the business OF legislation, and vote
according to his convictions of right or
expediency. This Mr.. Morrill, does.
His fine form and noble lace are con.
stantly seen in the House, and no one of
his colleagues is more prompt and con-
slant in the discharge of his duty.
Clear headed and warm hearted, he Is
quick to see the merits of good cause,
and to espouse it. Firmly attached to
the doctrines of the Republican party,
his supporters need never fear that he
will give them cause to regret their
choice.

A deep and solemn funeral kneu.
Went out from the old church steeple.
"Old man for whom do you toll the bell
Whist one Of our good towns people2
Perchance for some young and beautiful child,
Gone like dew in the early morning;
or some maiden pure and undefled,
Now brighter sphere sdorning.
cor toll YOU the bell for an aged one,
Who little while before us,
From dream-like life has jus; passed on,
To that final haven o'er us?
q, the longest life is short at best,
Like day Of stormy weather,
And We journey on 20 that land Of rest,
The Young and the old together"
And the sexton wiped HE dim grey eyes
As his mournful task was ended,
And his bosom heAved with heavy siShs,
From his grief that was unpre,cnded.

That this life is short and neet'ng-
But to-day, my friend, toll the bell

editors of the Utah Magazine, the defend
ants asked whether i. was apostasy to
differ honestly from Brigham Young.
One of our elders of the tribunal replied
emphatically in the affirmative, and said.
"a man may be honest even in hell;'
and another, the vice president OF the
church, said,-"iou might as well ask
whether man has the right to differ
honestly with the Almighty" A fact
which threatens the Mormons even more
seriously than the Zone railroad" of which
their chief speaks contemptuously, is the
circumstance, which perhaps it would be
treason to hint at Salt Lake. that Brigham
Young is not immortal. When he dies,
it is hardly possible that the enthusiasm
in faith and trust of his follow wers will
concentrate upon another; and if not.
Mormonism will tumble to pieces without
much outside interference.
