THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER.
In the gradual development OF a
bud into a beautiful and full-grown
flower, there is something that in
vites our deepest admiration. But
there is development surprising this
in beauty and grandness-the devel-
poment of human character. What OBJ
ject more worthy our contemplation
than that of q human soul passing
through each successive stage of its
existence, the rapid cultivation of
our intellect, and the bringing out of
that which God has endowed us
with? We are born with the germ
of character within us; and as our
bodies develop themselves so do our
characters. Some traits of our char
acter necessarily unfold themselves
with our growth; others need to be
stimulated and excited into growth
by some particular influence. The
man of genius has that within him
which is to stamp him as such. The
great general has the foundation of
generalship born W ith him; all that
is needed is some power ofinfuence
to develop it.
We might give many illustrations
of our meaning, all tending to estab-
lish the principle which we wish
to develOp-that human character is
ever growing, developing itself, re-
ceiving nOurishment and stimulant
from without; that particular traits
of character-traits that distinguish
one man from another--are brought
out by some particular influence.
The thoughtless and tickle character.
receiving impressions of sorrow and
misfortune, is subdued and the more
serious and meditative character is
developed, and grows into the image
of its Creator. AT times it NAV be
but trife that reverses the wheels
of the soul, and develops a character
that rises higher and higher above
its fellow, reaching into heaven and.
at last, resting upon the highest pin
nacle of eminencc Il ii IS possible for
man to attain.

wise than industrious and sober, ne IS On the
down GRADE with loose braces. and the end IS
soon reached. But farming in its true sense
Is q profession equal in dignity to that OF the
law or medicine, and needs equal study,
mental capacity. and intelligently directed
labor to command success IN il. me pTlncl-
ples which ufrlderlie the practice of the true
farmer must be well understood, and steady,

| Young that has enabled him to build rail-
roads, telegraph lines, factories, mills, ma
chine shops, fonndries, roads, bridges and
cities in this wilderness. That he has been
faithfulto his trust is manifested on every.
side by the material objects to be seen. do
not think that this progress can be checked,
even should the relic of barbarism be- wiped
out BY the strong arm of the law enforced
BY military power, for this simple reason: :
That prosecution tends to strengthen even

+ The Mormons do not contemplate All hegIra
Hora an exodus. They are coatented where
they are, and will remain awaiting the events

strong and their principles are fixed. and the
only power that will subdue them is the fact
that every day brings them more and mere

asive spirit of the age. This will be
the work Of time, only fastened by the moral
influence OF a greater and better civilization
and religion than their own. To this may
be added the power Of fashion, which is. ever
on the advance in extravaganza and expendi-
ture, thereby entailing an expense which The

MORMON WoMES.-Gracc GrccnnoOds
Observation Of Thcm-Those have met ap.
pear to me, must say, like good and gentle
Christian women. They are singularly simple
in dress and modest in demGanor What sad
dens me is their air OF extreme quietudO, re-
tircment aud repression. But Tor the children
around them you would think some Of them
were women who had done with this world.
| MN told that tho wives of even the highest
Mormon dignitarics show little pride in their
lords. It were perhaps difficult to feel much
pride in the sixteenth part ofa man, as mcu
70. Even the first wife Of q wealthy saint
bctrays in her husband and household, they
say, no exutant joy possession. An invest
ment in Mormon heart aud homo must be
rather uncertain stock for a woman. | am
assured, though, that the second wife is SCI

first. Not only urc the poor wOman's religious
filth and zeal appealed to, but her magma,
/ nimity toward her sister.wOmaa out in tho
cold. 1t must be through great suffering that
such heights of selEabnOgation are reached.
The cruciGxiOu Of tho divine weakness Of q
loving womau's heart must be severe process.
As to tho Mormon meu whom have met
mostly leaders in tho church, and prominent,
