London AT Night.

Builder.
Those who have seen London in the
daytime only, with its food of life
streaming through its bricken veins to
its restless stony heart, know it not yet
in all its grandeur and solemnity. They
have still, in order to comprehend the
multiiorm sublimity of the great city, to
contemplate it by night under its differ
ent eepects. And, more particularly,
far off from on eminence, such as High.
gate Hill or Hampstead Heath, on a
bright winter evening, for tbeL, though
the stars be shining in all their mi mite
numbers in the cold, clear vault Of the
han yens above, there is another firma
ment spfead out on the earth below, with
its millions Of brilliant points OF light
glittering, like q esrpet of constells'
tons, at the feet. Line after line of the
long mi Of lamps sparkles N thgH
6bres of fame, like the trails left by No.

of the distance, so that the whole seemi

An anecdote which Mark Lemon loved

Looking over his letters one morning, he
opened an envelope enclosing a poem
which the writer said had been rejected

available for Punch, he begged the editor,
whom he knew but slightly, to consign it
to the waste paper basket, as the author
was g sick at the sight Of IT, The poem
was signed Tom Hood, and the lines
we're entitled THE Song Of the Shirt"
The work was altogether different from
anything that had ever appeared IN
Punch, and was considered so much out

cal thst OF tho weekly meeting Us publ

work, but with its suitability for the pa.

and published it. By a letter written by
Tom Hood TO Mark Lemon, which We

that the question OF Illustrating the

Brigham YOung's DeGnitIOn OF "A

0H
lady.
From report Of his address at Semi. Annual
Conference--0gden Junction
President Brigham Young wished to
make a few remarks upon co-opera-
ton and home industry. There we're
some among US who would use tobacco;
he wished them to cease buying it aud
raise it for themselves. There we're
ladies who used ribbons and fine
dresses; let them have some mulberry
trees planted, raise silk-worms and make
silk for their own use. Some might ask
what this had to do with building up the
Kingdom OF God? We would answer it
they took this course they would save a
great amount Of means, which wa now
squaudered, and it could be used to do
good. de would say, let a lady with
three girls go to work and raise silk, and
her husband farm with three boys, and
the lady would make more money than
her husband. This was a splendid coun-
try for raising tobacco, and a man could
make RoFb OH an acre of rich land prop
erIy cultivated than In almost any other
product. He did not call those ladies
whe arose in the morning and primped
and adorned Themselves, her took
breakfast and did nothing else but play
the piano and read novels. But he called
them ladies who attended to their house
holds, kept their homes neat and clean,
adorned themselves with the work OF
their own hands, and taught their chill
dren properly. But waste, idleness, FL
%thiness, did not belong to a lady or gen.
tlemau.
In regard to tho Word Of Wisdom, he
would say, no vauid have NO objection
to people using brandy, beer, tea, coffee
or anything else i it did them good, but
if it did not do them good, let il alone
The Saints should have sense enough tC
understand this, and keep the Word OIL
Wisdom as it was given.

ANAsTASIA's GHOST.


How well I remember that dismal
November night. Some vague present
iment of evil weighed upon my heart,
as I sat alone in the twilight. And yet
there was nothing apparently to make
me gloomy. On the contrary, / ought
to have been more than usually cheer
full 4; had I not received a delicious
promise from Katie Nelson that very
afternoon
1t seemed to be odd, to be sure, that a
gray haired widOwer like myself was to
marry this girl of eighteen. Her mother
had been a hOusekeeper in our family,
but died soon after Katie's birth. So it
happened that she was adopted by US,
as we had no children of our own. My
wife treated her kindly, but without
much warmth of feeling. Anastasia was
of such a peculiar disposition that [
actually believed she was jealous of this
infant.
Poor Anastasia she warned me SOL
emnIy on her death-bed never to marry
again, and threatened to rise from her
grave in case of such an event.
Katie was In her tenth year when my
wife died. sent her away to a board

somewhat bewildered to find a lovely
woman, instead of the little girl 1 had
left in short dresses. OF course you can
guess the sequel. I fell in love with
this charming adopted daughter. There
was something in the frank tenderness
of her manner that completely won my
heart.
It was evident that she was deeply
attached to me. I could not help see
ing how much higher she valued my
society than that of my nephew, Charles
RAYMOND, who had accompanied me
from abroad. She never addressed him
except in mOnosyllables, and would
flush all over with embarrassment If he
but entered the room. But with me,
she was always self-possessed, and so
taIkative and sOciable that I could not
help pitying Charlie. He was really
quite good-lOOking, and I used to won
! der sOmeti mes at her antlpathy. Poor
fellow: how dreaded to tell him Of my
approaching happiness. 1t would be a
! great blow to his hopes, for he had eX-
pected to inherit my fortune.
Katie wasn't bit like other girls that
I had ever known anything about. In
| stead of bIushing at my confession that
! afternoon she turned pale, and shivered
as if struck by a sudden chill. L no
ticed, too, that there was a strange
! culver in her voice when she finally
| consented to be nv wife. l was appre-
/ hensive that Charlie had told her what

And yet I couldn't believe her ghost

I couldn't forget that warning. Anas a.
sia was remarkable woman, and would
surely keep her word, If ghosts are per
mitted to walk the earth. Thinking
thus, ! began to grow frightened at too
shadows in my room, and hastily rang
| the bell for lights.

advise the cavalry of the advent of the miners.
