PLEASANT HILL.

AS we have never been represent
ed in the columns of the CITIzEN, 1
suppose your numerous readers
don't know there is such place as
Pleasant Hill in existence, but they
are mistaken. We are here, and if
you will come down this way you
viii find out that we live at home
and board at the same place. We
have plenty of hog and hominy, and
the prospects are good for cake. as
there is a great deal of wheat plant
ed. Also we have plenty of chick
ems. One man proposed letting me
have fifty to commence peddliug on
but declined. think the preach
ers would do well to call on US.
Although we are down here in the
backwoods, we have plenty of Cars
not those putting wagons like
those that made my mule run away,
but some nice young ladies Yon
have heard of the Avery plow
Well, we have an Avery in our com
lnunity-not that instrument TO
prepare the soil for receiving grain
but one who plows deep intellectu-
ally, and bids fair to stand among
the foremost teachers in our county.
We had a wedding this week in
our community, and I think if the
creek don't rise and the waters stay
up, we viii have another soon. We
have several nice young ladies down
here, particularly those who sweep
out the church house so nicely.
We are having a drawing school
taught here, and 1 think some of
the young mems eyes will be drawn
one-sided if the young ladies don't
change TO the other side of the
house.
We anticipate having a Christmas
tree the 25th of Dec. for the benefit
of the Sabbath school Rev. j. f.
Walker has had his house renova-
ted, or rather ventilated, as L saw
them putting in some glass win
dows. We have had some cold
weather. As one man said, '.the
iigernOEicter was ten miles below
Cairo" Prof Howard expects TO re-
sumo his labors in the Shoal Creek
Academy soon. Miss Jennie Pals
iy, who has been very i'll, is improv-
ing. Some of the young ladies
down here say they would be will
ling to do without men entirely if
they were not afraid of bears. This
country would be bare sure enough
if it were not for the men. This
piece suits my name.

Shall We Have WARP

We are constantly asked this
question on the streets, by some
with care and anxiety on their coun-
tenances by others with eager an
ticipation. To both we answer
without hesitation and emphatical
ly no; we shall not have war. The
south cannot make war. the North
will not. The impulsive on both
sides will he overruled by the wiser
who see that armed resistance can
only benefit those who are now
marching and countermarching
troops as an armed bully parades
his knives and pistols in a whisky
shop. Uil sses Grant and his asso-
ciate braves are the only men who
could benefit by war, and they are
eagerly Gesiring it as an excuse for
coup etat which they are unscru-
pulous enough to mediate, but not
astute enough TO execute. To our
own people, whom alone we hope to
reach, we counsel patience yet
awhile At the worst, if the will OF
the people should be set aside by
fraud and force, there are constitu-
tioual ways OF resisting illegal pow
er, which the stupid bully now oc-
cupying the White House will find
stronger than his artillery and bay
Onets. We have a working ma
jority in the House and near

A merchant drumming a country
man who had just sold his cotton
was met with the response so uni

"Never easier" said the mer-
chant; "every thing is Frightening

money'll be husband my goods
were never so cheap. Come in
Don't know about that" said
the farmer; lit mightn't be true,
aud then my money'd be gone.
The old 'oman said 1 must save. :"
Did you see to-day's paper?
Why, they've done give it up.
We've got 'em sure. They've al

We'll, now, that IS kinder en-
couragins and l guess PIl risk a
hundred or so anyhow" said the
farmer, as he suffered himself to be
dragged in. The merchant was in
ecstacies. and he winked at the
clerks, aud they all stood around
and rubbed their hands, and the
goods commenced unfolding them
selves and ever thing was lovely,
and the farmer continued:
Il guess I'll pay you out'n my
next crap sure, but money'H be so
flush you won't need it ] reckon" "
The merchants underlip dropped
down and the slobbers stood like
pearls. He beckoned' the farmer
down the counter and whispered:
Il don's think that news is relia-
BILE. Times are goin' to be tight.
l don't want to deceive you. Your
family might suffer and my con
science would upbraid me. Better
not buy"
"Pn risk it anyhow" said the
farmer; cant be no tighter next
year when 1 pay you. Show me
your fine overcoats."
The merchant went down the
store and directly came back and
said:
"Mr.- Smith, I've just sold out my
store, and I'm goin' to shut up now
to take stock. Call in next week
1 hope I'll have better news. Can't
sell any goods Til den."
We printed him a hundred large
cards, "Strictly Cash." that evening
and he's got them sticking all over
his store, and he wrote to the daily
paper and stopped his paper, and
kicked the telegraph messenger out

A Washington correspondent
says: Whatever else may be said Of
the election, it has developed 1, phase
Of betting here hitherto but little
practiced. One prominent cigar
dealer on the Avenue. doing a busi-
ness Of $1,000 yearly, risked his
whole establishment on Tllden. An
equally well known billiard prorrie-
tor staked his all on the same chan
ees. And We hear from Boston Of a
poor iool named Jules Vriere, who
swore before the election that if Til
den was chosen President he woald
xiii himself. Last Thursday night
he was found hanging by the neck
dead; and yet he died before he re
eeived the news. Wheelbarrow bets
haye heen innumerable, some Of
which have already been fulfilled,

arabs. Even the ladies have caught
the infection. Husbands and wives
have stalSed a whole years happiness

The ordinary injunction to boys
is, be men; but We would say, be
boys. A boy has no business to be
a man until he grows into one; be
sides, it is just as worthy a thing
TO be boy-a true, heroic boy-as
it is to be man. Our duty is to fill
faithfully the places in which we
are, knowing that the occupant
adorns the place. rather than the
opposite. If you are noh;e boy.
you are all that you can be; for a
noble boy aad noble girl are just
as noble as a noble man and a no
ble woman.

BRIGHAM's SUCCESSOR.
The Chosen Son of Brigham
YOung-A Latter Day Saint
with Worldly Tendencies.
San Franciseo Chronicle.

Brigham Young has finally defin-
ed his policy for the future of the
Mormon church in selecting for his |
first counselor the youngest son of
his first family, John w. Young. |
This now-to-be prominent young
man is well known in this city, es
pecially among the capitalists. In
personal appearance he is very at
tractive to the fair sex, and in his
manner and habits he would pass
anywhere for "a man OF the world
who was pretty well satisfied with
this terrestrial globe and in no hur-
ry whatever to get off to the upper
regions. Up to the building of the
Pacific railroad Young Johnny"
as he was familliarly called, was an
excellent Norman ana gave early
evidence of being a first class patri
arch. He had hardly got through
his teens when his eyes fell kindly
upon young saintess, and the
baked meats of the marriage feast
had hardly cooled before he fell
desperately in love with another
young saintess and married her al
50. This prophet thought Johnny
should see a little more of the world
before proceeding further in that
line, and he was consequently, sent
to England on tour of pleasure,
company with his brother, "Briggy
Junior" These two seions of Nor
mon royalty travelled all over Eu
rope, spending lavishly the funds
of the poor confding saints On
Johnny's return to the United
States his first wife pressed upon
him to call upon her relatives in
Philadelphia, and to crafty her
wishes the young man fastened to
the City Of Brotherly love, and be-
fore he was twenty-Iour hours &C
quainted with his first wife's family,
he fell desperately in love with the
cousin, who had only been recently
married, but not happily mated.
She accepted the invitation to
visit Utah, the plains were soon

is the lady who came frequently
to San Francisco and was received
in "our best society" as Mrs
Young. With her the youngest son
OF the prophet drank deeply of the
ways of the world, and was furI-
ously captivated by its fashions.
For several years he has lived so
little in Utah-preferring San Fran
cisco and New York to the City Of
Saints-that he has been regarded
as an apostate from the faith, and
thus unexpectedly to everybody he
returned to Utah, and the prophet,
in utter disregard to the sentiments
of the Mormon people, places HIM
next to his throne, and makes him
by that act the next prophet Of the
Mormon Church. But it is proba.
