MASKS AND FAcEs.-Ladies who mask
their faces and necks with enamels en-
danger health to no purpose. The plaster
work deceivos nobody. There is but one
article known which will restore blem-
ished complexion or create external bril-
Iiancy and bloom where they have never
heretofore existed, and that article is
HAaAN's MAGNOLIA BALM. Itperforns
this toilet miracle by infusmg vitality
into the. skin. The floral md herbal
Juices of which it is composed gently
Stimulate the circulation in the minute
blood vessels, and brace the network OF
nerves through which they pass. Thus
ouickened and strengthened the external
covering soon acquires fresh and health
full hue, and every trace Of sallowness
disappears. The palest cheeks derive
from the beautifying baptism OF this de-
| lightful cosmetic warmer hue, and the
arms, hands and neck, blonde lustre
which. the charlatans, who profess to
make ladies beautiful forever" with
their poisonous cement, can never nope
to initiate.

tbrone extinguished the fame and crowd

throng extinguished the fame and crowd
ed on over the cinders to the doomed corn
fields. The hogs and chickens were let
loose on the destroyer, but they soon grew
satiated with the feast, andstill the locusts
pressed on. And when at last the des-
pairing farmers Withdrew and gave up the
fight, all that night the locusts fell on
their roofs like hailstones and crawled in
through every rsok and crevice in their
dwellings -
"The next morning when they arose at
daylight to inspect the extent Of their
damages, woeful sight presented itself.
The country was indeed waste months
of hard labor and hopes of a handsome
return from the crops had faded away as
the blade of grass before the locust; not q
trace remained.to indicate that the. seed
had ever been planted, or that a grand
tract Of swaying grain glistened in the
sunbeams on the morning before. But
patiently the work was recommended; while
the locusts passed ON theirwestward course
Of .desolation. The Indians had a rich
feast. To the red mans palate roast Of
locusts is delicious treat. Thisinsect has
decided dislike to- sage brush, and a.
though it considers it good shelter for
its young, still it will not. devour leaf OF
that pangent shrub - -

The Latter Day Saints, with their in

not been exempt from the ancient scourges

a desolate wilderness" makes a periodical

them of the old times when the chosen Of

WRITTEN FOR THE PARENTS OF LITTLE
VI NJ, wHoyJED AUG. 18TH, 'ls72.
The first, keen throes of grief have passed
away
The storm which swept our hearts is
calm to-day;
But the sad thought comes to us DER and
DER:
That he we loved and lost is now nc
more.
When the first tint Of morn is on the
sky,
We sigh for him, for whom its vain tc
sigh,
And when at eventide, hisG '-ewe deck
There often falls the tearwe lain would
check.
o yes! we sadly miss our little boy;
For he was all our hope and all our joy.
No one can tell, how like a aclinging vine
He, round our hearts, did day by day
entwine.
Upon his words our minds delight te
dwell;
" Mama, love you more than tongue
can tell :"
"rm, papa's darling" and "rm ma
mas own,"-
And in our memory fingers still his tone
rr.Hs
But though we miss him, yet we've
naught to say;
For He who gave, can surely take away
And having taken, can again restore,
Where we shall never miss him any
more!
