Bear it Patiently.

Bear what patiently" says some one.
lie burden Of life not burdens that
require manual strength but strength OF
mind aud heart and frmness Of purpose.
IT is not 50 much the size Of the burden
but the form that makes it hard to bear.
An unmerited rebukc pains us worse than
blow. Words Of bitter nature weary
us more than many days labor. The
burdens of the heart are seldom visable
to the eye. Smiling faces often hide
talnting spirits. Each heart surely
knoweth its own bitterness.
You whom a loyiag Father has richly
gifted with talents most stand in need
OF words OF patience. You see others
filling stations in life for which they are
unqualified, and while they are forced TO
acknowledge your capability, these gifts
are denied you. The fool il rich robes
places his feet upon your rights and the
gain-loving world applaud YOU. The

by-and-by.
You who are t clothed in the roval
purple and fine linen of. life-wbose
hands are hardened with the ,oil-to
whom justice seems only to dwell in the
courts OF heaven, remember that poverty
is not crime, though its children are
only little better than criminals. Pow.
crty is slavery. Take it patiently.
When hoIes you have cherished tend, r

warm sunlight of prosperity, wooinr

when the frost OF chill adversity over
whelms and changes them into dust, thai

The living Present.

'"The present is all that we have to
confront eternity with" said sage, and
any teaching that undervaIues the pres
eni is fatal to the highest human inter
csts. No time since the world began
was OF such worth as the present. Each
hour is link in the golden chain that
encrccs the worlds. 1t is intidelity TO
the present that makes us recreant to the
past and untrue to the future. Only by
reading Alright the message OF today
shall tn.morrow's secret be fully reveal
ed. Yet, too often, we are like careless
schoolchldren who have neglected the
earlier lessons, and hence have no key
TO the lesson of to-day. We must be-
gin where we are, coming the page di-
rectly before us. No man ever sank un-
der the burdens of to-day. 1t is only
when to-morrow's burdens are added
that the weight becomes greater than he
can bear. We insist upon crossing the
bridges before we come to them. We
will not even rid ourselves of the past.
Instead of letting the dead past bury its
dead, we insist upon bearing this dead
body with us, and go groaning under
the weight in more pitiiul plight than
the ancient mariner under the burden of
his sin. 1t is not Gods fault. 1t is our
own. He says, Leave the future to me.
Take no thought for the morrow, what
ye shall eat. or what ye shall drink, or
where wilhal ye shall be clothed. See to
it that our work is done faithfully--not
a whit below our level best. That is the
business OF our day; not to take
thought ior our lite, not to waste our
time in lamentations over the past. Onr
times are in His Land.

SELECT POETRY.
The Creator.


All things bright and beautiful,
All things great and small,
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
he made their tiny wings,
The rich man in his castle,
he poor man at his gate,
God made them high or lowly,
And ordered their estate,
The purple beaded mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky:
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden
lie made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushcs by the water
We gather every day
lie gave us eyes TO see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

A WOMAN SCAlPED.

From the White Pine News OF Tnursday.1
One Of tho most inhuman and COW
ardly deeds that We ever remember to
have heard Of was committed Tuesday
evening, April 9th, at Government
Springs, Utah Territory. near the Over
land road, and about Is miles this side
Of Salt Lake City. The account that
follows Is received from . reliable
source Last Summer q man named
Purdy, formerly In the employ Of the
Union Pacific Railroad. arrived at Og-
den, and represented himself to be a
Mormon. He married the daughter Of
a prominent member Of the church,
who furnished him with an outfit Of
cattle, horses, etc. He moved his stock
and wife to Government Springs. The
supposition Is, that his intention from
the first was to dispose Of the cattle
and leave tho country. About two
months ago he commenced to dispose
Of the stock In small lots. His wife
was convinced that he had no affection
for her, and watched his movements.
She sent a message to her father at Og-
den, informing him how matters stood.
He, with two Of his sons, reached Gov
ernmeut Springs on the sth,' and found
that Purdy was making preparations
to leave. They corraled him and
searched his person, finding something
like $500. he was then told to leave
the country under penalty Of death.
He rode of In the direction Of Indian
Springs. Il appears that he stayed In
the vicinity of the ranch until the even
ing Of the 9th, and watched the oppor-
tunity to commit the cowardly deed.
Tho father of Mrs. Purdy and her
eldest brother were out gathering In
the remnant Of the stock, with tho In
tentlon of starting back to Ogden the
next day. The youngest brother, aged
about II, was lefe with his sister. A
while after dark, Purdy rode up to the
cabin, seized the boy and tied. him to .
post outside. He then entered the
house, knocked his wife down and de-
liberately scalpsd her. Alter commit
ting tho iuhuman deed he mounted his
horse and rodo of In the direction Of
Fish Springs desert, on the Overland
road, taking the scalp with him. The
father and brother reached the house
about half an hour afterward. The boy
was released and explained as much
rs he knew OF the matter. On enter
Ing the house Mrs. Purdy was found
lusenslble and the floor covered with
blood. After she was restored to oon-
s~clousnsss, she related how the brutal
wretch had committed the foul deed.
A party Of ranchers started amer him ;
bur after riding all night, gave up the
chase and returned to the ranch. The
probability Is that Purdy followed the
Overland road toward Nevada. He
wa mounted on = black mare, branded
20. n OH the LEFT hip. He Is about s
feet 6 inches high, black curly hair,
pug nose, full set Of teeth, scar on left
cheek reaching to the ear, and voice
coarse. His countenance on the whole
l. unprepossessing.
