every state of life a person must have
some dependence upon his W abili-
ties, and the principal one is self-de-
pendence for it is by selfdependence
that we depend upon ourselves and
others, but most generally upon 9th
crs. Dependence may be practiced
by ourselves in many different ways.
For instance, it is useful to ourselves
and from Others, and the many ways
we depend, and lastly upon the vari-
Gus ways Of our selfdependence in ev-
cry respect. In school when a lesson
is set for us to get, the teacher depends
on our getting it, and in this way his
self-dependence is put in US.

Judge Mexican, in Utah, has decided
against the right of Mormons to act as jurors
in case where polygamist is on trial for
adultery. lie gives excellent reasons for his
decision. There is fair grapple made with
the Mormons, and we hope they will not lie
released till they shall have been thrown dat
upon the ground. They have been permitted
to defy the authority ofthe nation long enough

much weakened her" The Journal does
not hesitate to call this critical period fol
the throne, and the Times and other paper,
are expressing their regrets that they have
urged their sovereign on to the performance
Of public duties which she was too i'll t,

Wales to England from the Continent has
excited fears that the Queen has relapse
