Preparing Plants for Winter.

Many of our garden plants, if pro-
perly treated during the summer, will
make desirable plants for the house.
Among these we might mention as
examples, the Ten-Weeks Stock,
Monthly Carnations, and other mem
bers of he Dianthus family like the
Japan and Chinese Pinks. Indeed
very many of our Animals will give
satisfaction as winter plants. We
must not, however, expect those
plants that give Us of their beauty oil
summer, wearing themselves out with
SERVICE to continue to bud and bloom
all winter. Plants must be prepared
for winter blooming during the sum.
mer, by checking their Towering
thus reserving their strength until
it is needed. In some cases this ID
done by accident. In many beds oil
plants we find few whose growth
had been checked by circumstances
and they only arrive at good flow
ering condition late in the season.
These are in just the condition fol
winter Towering. Plants for winter
use should be kept in pots during
the summer or transplanted to pots
early in the autumn. All flower buds
should be removed from plants Sc
lected for this purpose, during the
summer they will thus acquire
strength for their winters work.
Plants should be brought in the
house and placed in position before
fires are made, that they may become
acclimated. Tick's Floral Guide.

Who VIII be the Next President OF
the Mormon Church

Brigham Young has become very
aged man, over seVenty-six and he
is also becoming so infirm that he is
liable at any moment to be cut
short in his earthly career. When
he dies, there will be great vacancy
in the Mormon church, and. there
will be serious difficulty in choosing
his successor, as the candidates are
numerous. At Salt Lake City it is
known that BRIGHAM would like TO
have the Presidency conferred upon
one of his sons. The two most
prominent are BRIGHAM, Jr; and JOHN
w. YOUNG. Some say the old
gentleman Prefers BRIGHAM, Jr;
and others JOHN w. The latter APP
pears to be the man with the most
popularity, but inasmuch as no Presi-
dent can be chosen until after tho
old President death, it is very
difficult TO say who will be his sue
cessor. Bishop PRATT is also 10 the
field, and q grandson of the original
prophet, JOE SMITH, may turn up as
candidate. SMITH does not favor
polygamy, and insists that BRIGHAM
YOUNG incorporated polygamy into
the Mormon, bible without the au-
thority Of the first prophet, JOE
SMITH. The Gentiles believe there
will be disputed succession when
BRlaAM You've dies, and this they
are convinced, will tendto brake down
the whole Mormon fabric. Brigham
Young is now accepted by all
factions as the prophetic head of the
church, but If any of bis boys get
hold of his sceptre they think that
there will be large secession. In
| any event the Gentiles. feel sure
that their cause will gain when the
Mormon church Is called upon to
elect successor to Brigham Young.

Verbs and Proverbs.

No cross no crown.
Out of debt out of danger.
Far from court far from care.
Take away fuel take away flame.
| Forecast is better than hard work.
The masters eye makes the horse
fat.
All are not hunters that blow the
horn.
Covetousness brings nothing home.
He that goes borrowing goes sor-
rowing.
An obedient wife commands her
husband.
| Gold goes in at every gate except
heavens.
Forgive thyself nothing and others
much.
Fools build houses and wise men
buy them.
The disconnected man finds no easy
chair.
He that handles thorns shall prick
his fingers.
When the fox breaches beware of
your geese.
He that will eat the kernel must
crack the nut.
Friendship is love, without either
| flowers or vail
Less of your courtesy and more of
your purse.
A laugh is worth hundred groans
In any market.
Wherever the speech is corrupted
so is the mind
We struggle with adversely; sue
cess disarms US.
Thoughts, not hours are the meas
ures of life.
To those whose God is honor, dis
grace alone is sin.
Happy remarks are often made by
very unhappy men.
Instruct your son we'll, or others
| will instruct him i'll.
Diligence is fair fortune and in
dustry is good estate.
To gentleman every woman is a
lady, in right of her sex.
We are all Adams children, but
silk makes the difference.
When the tree is fallen every man
goeth to it with his Ratchet.
He is never alone that is in the
company of noble thoughts.
We are only alive when we enjoy
the good will of others.
The pleasure of doing good is the
only one that never wears out.
The precious step to blessing for
the Lords children is obedience.
Mean souls, like mean pictures, are
often found in good looking frames
Faith is the root of all good works.
A root that produces nothing that is
dead.
Many a mans vices have at first
been nothing worse than good quail
ties run wild.
Grind while the wind is fair; and
if you neglect, do not then complain
of Gods providence.
He that lags behind in road where
many are driving will always be in a
cloud of dust.
We see how much man has, and
therefore we envy him; did we see
how little he enjoys, we should rath-
err pity him.
Manners are laws in their infancy
laws are manners full grown, or man
ners are children, which when they
spring up, become laws.
We. ignorant ourselves, beg often
our own harm, which the wise pow
ers deny US for our own good; so
find we profit by losing our prayers.
How pleasant it is for father to
sit at his child's board. 1t is like
the aged man reclining under the
shadow of the oak which he has
planted.
One of the happiest and most in
independent of the human occupa-
ton is an intelligent farmer whose
