A. NJ, owing to a landslide near

consented, and he Immediately set

have been filled to overlooking. We
will not attempt a description OF the
lady or her lecture, which was the
story of her life, her wrongs aud her
miseries while a dweller among the
polygamous horde that desecrate one
of the most beautiful and fertile spots
on the American continent. Her sto-
ry is but the counterpart of hundreds
Of others of her sex in Utah. In APP

voice 10 clear, ringing and melOdious.
Her language chaste, elegant and re-
fined. She tells the story of her wrongs
with a modest simplicity that brings
her audience at once into sympathy
with her. 1t was considered treat by
all who heard it. She has promised
to visit Bristol the coming summer.

flil experience that life with you is a
failure. Habit can induce a repeti-
ton OF the most unworthy actions in
direct opposition to every conviction
of mind. although but little aided by
the elements of temptation. The
mind Is weak where it has once given
way. Tt is long before a principle re-
stored can become as firm as one that
has never been moved. II is as in the
case of break in mill-dam: If this
dam has in one place been broken
no matter how great care has been Ia
ken to make this broken part as strong
as possible, the strong probability is
that If it give way again, it will be in
that place.
Habit may be illustrated by a well
beaten path. just as the traveller is
apt to fall into and follow this, so the
thoughts and feelings are apt to pur-
sue the track which they have often
followed before. Or as the stream
gradually wears the channel deeper in
which it runs, and thus becomes more
surely bound to its accustomed course,
so the current of the mind and hear t
grows more restricted TO the course in
which habit has taught them to fiow
1t is Indeed sad to meet young man
just entering the battle of life, aud yet
unprepared for it, and chiefly because
he has let pass so many golden oppor-
tunities unimproved. We blame while
we pity such a man. Be assured boys
that it will be cause tor your shame
i'm all your after life, II you do not be-
come educated in youth. Don't kill
time, but improve IL.
In conclusion allow me to suggest to
you four good habits to form now
punctuality, accuracy, steadiness, and
dispatch. Without the first of these
time is wasted; without the second,
mistakes the most hurtful to our own
credit and interest and the interest Of
others, may be committed without
the third nothing can be well done,
and without the fourth, opportunities
of great advantage are lost, which it
is utterly Impossible to recall.
