The Hours.

The hours are viewless angels,
That still go gliding by,
And bear each moments record up
To Him,who sits on high.
The poison OF the nectar,
Our hearts deep hower-cups yield,
A sample still they gather swift,
And leave Us in the field.
And some fly by on pinions
Of gorgeous gold and blue,
And some fly in with dropping wing
Of sorrows darker hue.
And is we spend each minute
That God to US hath givea,
The deeds are known before bis throne:
The tale is told in Heaven.
And we, who walk among them,
As one by one departs,
Think not that they are lowering
Forever round our hearts.
Like summer bees that hover
Around the idle flowers,
They gather every act and thought,
Those yiewless angel hours.
And still they steal the record,
And bear it far away;
Their mission fight, by day or night,
No magic powers can stay.
So teach me Heavenly Fatherl
To spend each flying hour,
That as they go, they may not show
Ny heart poison flower.

It is asserted that one hour after
the gas Of London is lighted the
air deoxidized as much as if
100000 people had been aided to
its population. During the com
bustion Of oil, tallow, gas, etc, wa
ter is produced as well as carbonic
acid; in cold weather we see it con
densed on the windows. BY the
burning of gas twenty four hours
in London more water, it is estimat-
ed, is produced than would supply
an emigrant ship on a voyage from
England to Australia.

A well known gentleman of this
city, who for years has been in the
habit of taking his lager, suddenly
bethOught himself thas he would
try an experiment, and see if he
could not stop leak in his finances,
and also an almost chronic head
ache, and bad temper. The expe-
riment was thus; He gave up his
lager, and in the place of it took
thirty cents, just the cost Of six
glasses of the beverage, and care
fully laid it away. When the sum
thus taken care of amounts to five
dollars, he deposits it in the savings
Bank. He has been trying this ex-
pertinent 6 months and finds that
he has safely treasured up $54 80
thus far and he is determined to
keep this thing going. Besides
this he says he returns home every
evening at o'clock with a clear
head, his wife and children meet
him with smiles and caresses, al
ways being glad when papa comes.
Nothing he says could induce him to
return to the old habit Of beer guz-

Nc Drankard's PRAYER.

O Rum! thou artthe quintessence
. of all excellence; thy power exceeds
all other gods on earth; thousand
worship at thy altar, and ten thous-
and times ten thousand fall before
thee. Thou humblest the naughty
pride of man and bringest him low;
thou spoilest the rich of this world,
and givest wings to his riches that
they fee away; thou dost, by thy
power, cause even thine enemies to
love thee and do homage to thy
name. 0 Rum! thou art our soIace
and our joy, and we rejoice that we
have ever been brought to love thee.
for we acknowledge that we once
hated you even as others, for man
by nature does not love thee, Meth
er can he love thee, until your
spirit change his natural Desires
We thank thee o Rum, for the
comfort we daily receive from thee;
that we do bear persecution for
thy sake, and although we have
met with much opposition, we have
evinced to our opposers that we are
under thy influence; and have given
them daily evidence that we are dc
termined still to cIeave to thee with
all our hearts. We do love thee.
o thou powerful Rum; we make ar-
peal to all the world, and our own
hearts, which must all testify that
we love thee right well.
We have made many sacrifices for
thee, and are ready to make more
if we have forsaken wife and child
ren, houses and lands for thy sake
we are willing to do SO, yea and we
viii soon have q part with thee. For
thy sake we are willing to to suffer
reproach, poverty, Affections, per-
secutions, perils by sea and land,
hunger, nakedness, sword, and fam
inc; yea, we will not count our lives
dear if we can have thee as our
constant companion do thou ever
be with lis, and we will cleave to
thee to the end of our lives.

STATE CONTENTION BASIS.

We suggest to the Republican State
Committee the necessity of changing the
basis for delegates to the State Convention
so as to reduce the number considerably
Formerly when vacancies in delegations
could be filled from towns in any part of
the State, it was not of so much conse-
queace if the basis allowed large num-
Der, but when delegates are required to
be actual residents of the county in which
is the town they represent, the case is diff
ferent. On the score of economy the rep
resentation should be reduced. The ex-
pense to distant counties of sending resi-
dent delegates will be large. If they do
not send them they will be unrepresented.
There is no probability of return to the
former loose method of filing delegations.
1t answered well in the early days of the
party when no party disputes were liable
to arise about organization, but it was
seen that change was needed and hence
the present plan. Our State is large, and to
gather in the number of fourteen hundred
delegates TO State Convention in the busiest
season of the year, making all the small
and distant towns contribute their quota
or lose their representation, will cause
large expense and inconvenience. If these
can be curtailed, as we think they may
it had better be done. Were the number
reduced one third it wonld be an essentia
advantage and meet the approval of The
party we have no doubt. We trust tn,
State committee will give the subject du,
consideration at their approaching meet
ing.

ROCK NOTICES.

The National Publishing Company have is .
sued work upon "Life in Utah, or the Mys-
teres and Crimes of Mormonism," written by
J. A. Beadle, Editor of the Salt Lake Report
er and Utah correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, which processes to be an expose
of the secret rites and ceremonies of the Latter
Day Saints, and to give full and authentic his
tory of Polygamy and the Mormon Sect from its
origin to the present time. The historical
part of this work is undoubtedly correct, and
is therefore valuable for its facts and informa-
ton. That which pretends to unveil the
mysteries of Mormonism must be taken upon
credit. Such picture as it presents is worse
than heathenism, and if true should sink

monism so black. We shall attempt no far.
