An Index to Marriage.

1t don't require an astrologer, q
medium or a gypsy with direct
pack of cards. 1t is very simple
lies in a nutshell, and can be ex-
pressed in a few words. They are
these: The last person you would
naturally think of.
If a girl expresses fondness for
majestic men with large whiskers,
make up your mind that she will
marry a very small man with none.
If she declares that "mind" is all
she looks for, expect to see her
stand before the alter with pretty
fellow who has just sense enough
to tie o cravat bow. If on the con-
trary, she declares she must have
a handsome husband, look about
you for the plainest person in her
circle of acquaintance, and declare
"that is the man," for it will be-.
Men are almost as bad. The
gentleman who desires q wife with
q mind and mission, marries q lisp
ing baby who screams at the sight
of q mouse, and hides her face
when she hears a sudden knock at
the door. And the gentleman
who dreaded anything like strong
mindedness, exults in the facts that
his wife is exactly everything that
he declared he detested.
If q girl says of one, "Marry
him! I'd rather die," look upon
the affair as settled, and expect
cards to the wedding of those two
people.
If man remarks of q lady,
"Not my style at all !" await pa
tiently the appearance of his name
in the matrimonial column in con-
nection with that very lady's.
And if any two people declare
themselves "friends and nothing
MORE" you may know what may
come next.
There is no hypocricy in all this
and such matches are invariably
the happiest. People do not know
themselves, and make great mis-
takes about their intentions. Love
is terribly perplexing when he first
begins to upset ones theories, and
when his arrows first pierces the
heart there is such a huttering
there, that it is hard to guess the
cause. Besides man proposes and
God disposes, and it is the 81 don't
know what" with which people fall
in love, and not those peculiarities
which could be given in passport.

Deceiving children.

Never deceive child ; il you
once do he will never believe you
again, and mischief will be- done,
that years will not repair. Some
silly mothers promise their children
any and everything "to make them
good" Heaven save the mark y
never meaning for one moment to
follow their promise indeed in
some instances it would be utterly
impossible for them to do so. Now,
this is the quintescence Of folly,
Be cautious, then, in making prom
ises to your child [; but having once
promised, perform il 10 the letter,
for a child is observing and remem-
bering. Let your child in after life
be able to say, although the world
has oft, my mother has never de-
ceived me Y Verify, q truthful
mother is blessing to her child.

Mothers, Prayers.

A lady prayed for her daughter
thirty-nine years without receiving
any answer. At lenght she came
to die. Her death was the means
used for her daughters conversion.
The daughter became a most emf
nent Christian, much used in turn
ing of sinners to Christ. eN
One hundred American students
who were converted met together
to speak of their conversion. Nine
ty of them traced their blessings to
their mothers prayers.
At another meeting, in England,
nearly one hundred who had been
blessed of God said they had pray
ing parents to pray for their child
rem ; the majority Of the petitions
began, "a mother asks prayer"
ETC., only one or two, ga father
asks prayer" etc.
Many a one has learned OF late
the blessings of having praying
mother. We trace every blessing
to Gods fathomless grace. Still he
is pleased to use means, and he
SAYS. "For all these things-l will
be inquired of" "a e

NOW.

When am lying pale and dead,
Come not, dear friends, around my bed,
And pour your loss in deafcned ears,
And wash my Needless face with tears.
What thrill OF hope OF tenderness
VIII beat beneath my burial Dress
What look Of gratitude arise
And lift the lids of sightless eyesf
What loving voice escape these lips,
From which no speech or language slips
Alas i cannot rouse and say:
"If ye lament me will stay"
Speak while I hear, and while long
y To feel your love is true and strong.
While peace can soothe my troubled brow,
Wait not to miss me hold me now
Set not your kisses on my cheek,
Nor on my mouth, too cold to speak.
In life long to feel their breath,
But what are kisses worth to death
Like blossoms dropped on ice and snow;
Like songs when bowling tempests blow,
wasted gift, a vain carrcss,
That might power TO bless,
That might life with Joy endow;
Oh 1. IL you kiss me, kiss me now.
Remember not when I am gono
The deeds did or would of done,
How much loved, how vainly strcvo
To find an answer in your love
Say not with tears and cries and prayers.
"would that we showed her tenderer cares,
Had patience with the faults we knew,
Clung to the heart so warm and true,
That now we weep with hopeless pain
And know will never come again"
All breathe not then with useless vow;
But if you love me, love me nov.
For, standing round my wintry grave,
Too late TO serve me or to save,
Fling on il all you have to give:
AT last her follies we forgive !"
No if within your hearts there be
A kind but slumbering thought Of me,
A memory Of the vanished past,
A hope of peace and love at last,
A speechless prayer, silent sense,
That sometimes speaks in my defense,
That says: "Our life is not too long,
And we, perhaps, were sometimes wrong"
And listen to that pleading voice,
And bid living heart rejoice.
II late remorse or grief allow
Forgiveness then, forgive me now.

The modest virgin, the prudent
wife, and the careful matron are
much more serviceable in life than
petticoated philosophers, clustering
heroines, or virago queens. She
who makes her husband and her
children happy, who reclaims the
one from vice, and trains up the
others to virtue, is much greater
character than ladies described in
romance, whose whole occupation
is to murder mankind with shafts
from the quiver of their eyes.

Our John at Salt Lake.

Correspondent of the n. Y. Sun.
1t was just two days run from San
Francisco to Salt Lake City, but if
you should personally undertake
to run it in two days, you'd find it
takes two weeks-that is, on foot.
They manipulate pictorial paste
board on the cars. The game re-
quires only three cards. You bet
on the jack, and you'll find you'll
turn up a jack-a jack ass. In
playing the game, the rule that ap-
plies to Napoleon on the, white
horse, "You pays your money and
takes your choice," is reversed, and
you takes your choice and pays
your money.
To get to Salt Lake City, you
leave the Union Pacific at Ogden,
and take the Utah Central Railroad
and then take drink, and then
you ride thirty-eight miles, and
there you are.
Salt Lake City has a population
of about $4,000. The first party
of prospectors, less than 200 in
number, and was headed by Brig
ham Young, reached here in 1S47.
Five hundred more arrived the
following year. The city is laid
out in squares. 1t has several
good hotels.
The Tabernacle is the biggist
meeting house ever got inside Of.
1t is just the shape of a wire butter
cover. 1t will hold over $4,000
people.
Prairie schooners used to be
plenty in this section, but only one
brig has ever arrived in this port,
and that is Brigham. He is the
boss Of this town. 1t takes O big
peice of calico to dress his wife.
There is section of this country
known as the Banana Belt, and
that is the only belt long enough to
60 around Mrs. Brigham Young
all at once. He must keep a ten
horse power donkey engine TO mix
hash for his family. How a donkey
engine can be a horsepower, l be-
queath to your readers as a rubus
for them to solve.
The city is situated in the lowell
est valley / ever saw, overshadowed
by the Wansatch range of noun
tains, their peaks visible, capped
with snow the year around.
The climate is wonderfully mild
About two miles from the centre ol
the city, and owned by it, is a
warm sulphur spring. Swimming
bath houses have been erected and
a swim in that sulphur water is q
positive luxury. Still further out
from the city are the hot springs
