A DROUTH IN UTAH.
No Rain, No Snow II the Mountains ana
aGloOmy Outlook for the Future.

No Rain, No Snow In the Mountains and
aGloomy Outlook for the Future
Correspondence Of the Omaha Bee.
Salt Lake City, March %, 1870 the
good citizens of Omaha it may sound rather
strange to be told, that owing to scarcity of
rain, aud the unusual warmth, Utah is in
dread of q famine for water. Since the
early part of February we have had just
enough rain to swear by, and in the noun.
tains where generally at this season the
eternal now lay piled scores of feet high,
there is but very little left unmelted. The
result is that the streams are, as q rule, as
low or lower than they are in July. The
direful consequences of . such a scarcity
can scarcely be estimated by those who live
in regions where rains Are abundant. To
the stockman it means the loss of thousands
Of head amongst his aocks and herds for
want Of grass; to the agriculturist the dry.
ing up of his crops, and to the miner in.
euf6ciency Of water to carry on his labors.
Thus, rancher, farmer and miner are alike
sufferers. In this city-so dependent for
its beauty, on the flow from the mountains
many fear there will not be enough water
for household purposes, to say nothing of
q supply for irrigation. The subject Of our
water supply has thus become the = l.absorb-
ing topic, overwhelmingly over all other
issues. 1t is proposed to dig q canal, round
the base of tie mountains along the east
side the valley from the south end of the
Jordan river to this city, . distance in a di.
rect line Of twenty-five miles. The peo-
pie are clamorous for rome relief, but the
city fathers are reluctant to embark in the
enterprise on account of its great cost.
Another canal is being dug on the west side
of the river, which will cost $4,000; that
proposed on the east side will probably cost
at least double THAT amount. Although the
people a the water they are not so anx.
ious for increased taxation, or a funded
debt. AT present We are comparatively
lightly taxed and without a funded debt,
and like the bow who eat his cake and still
wanted it, We want everything We ought to
have, and yet do not always want to pay
for il.

Old Maids and Old Bachelors.

old maids are useful. They can
" cook, sew, take care of the children,
nurse sick people, and generally play
the piano.
Old bachelors are useless. They do
not even know how to drive nails or
split wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants
anything done that requires patience
and kindness of heart, single lady is
sure to be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill-natured. They
desire to be as disobliging as possible,
snub children, despise babies, and hate
young mothers, and are always so bust
ly employed in seeing that other people
take good care of them that they have
not moment to give TO any one else.
Old maids are nice looking and very
"young for their years.
Old bachelors generally have red
noses, rheumatism in their knees, bald
heads, and mouths that turn down at
the corners.
Old maids can make home of one
little room, and cook delicious meals
for one over the gas jet in cunning little
tin kettles, besides making all their
own wardrobe.
Old bachelors need an army of tai
lors, writers, cooks, distant relatives,
and hotel landlords, to keep them COM
Portable.
When old maids are ill they tie up
their heads in pocket handkerchiefs,
take homeopathic pellets out of the
two bottles alternately, and get we'll
again.
When old bachelors are ill they go
to bed and send for four doctors have
consultation; a mantlepiece full of
black bottles, all the amiable married
men who belong to the club to sit up
with them at night, beside hired
nurse; they telegraph to their rela-
tions, and do their best to impress the
world with the idea that they are dy-
ing.
When an old maid leaves this sphere
of action she straightway joins the
white-robed host, but with crusty old
bachelor-it's little mixed.-E1.
The old bach" in our office has no
doubt but that an " old maid' wrote the
above.

The Greatest of TrlAes.

THE best fidelity to Christ is shown
i in a daily vigilant service to him
in trifles, in efforts to honor him in
a daily vlgilant service to him in trifies,
in efforts to honor him in humble, in
conspicuous services, such as in good
temper in the families, sympathy with
man and beast, honesty in business,
liberality to servants, fidelity TO en-
ployers. These things make up the,
best discipleship. The same truth ap-
plies to many things. The best paint
ings are those where such details as the.
blades of grass, the leaves of the trees,
the lines upon the water, and similar
minute points, are most perfectly de-
lineated.
Artistic excellency consists chiefly in
the complete accuracy which the sloth-
full or the ignorant worker cannot, or
will not accomplish. The great Italian
sculptor, Michael Angelo, was once
visited by an acquaintance, who re-
marked, on entering his studio, "Why,
you have done nothing to that figure
slHce was mere laSI. eS, was Une-
reply; 81 have softened this expression,
touched off that projection, and made
other improvements. "Oh ~ said the
visitor, those are mere trifles."
"True," answered Michael Angelo,
" but remember that trifles make per-
fiction; and perfection is no trife." In
like manner, the highest forms of de-
votion to Christ consist in fidelity to
apparent trifles. For only heartfelt
love and abiding recollectedness of
Him, as an ever-beloved object, will
enable his disciples to maintain through
out each day, in word and company, in
busy occupation and before his enemies,
the duty of honoring Him thus con-
tinuously and in the whole details of
life.

And standing there, by the broad
stone coping, she told me all. How
her parents had died when she was
little more than an infant, and Sir John,
her guardian and my grandfather, had
watched over her with jealous care al
ways keeping her at school, however,
until he brought her home-a young
lady.
"Then, while 1 was in India, the poor
old man fell suddenly i'll, and on his dy-
ing bed persuaded his young ward to
marry him, just in order to share his
vast estate, which she had refused to
take as legacy.
And believe me-" said Miss Helen,
" 1 did it only to keep it for you, the
rightful heir, whose wildness had tenn
porarily provoked the old gentleman"

How to Cure Stammering.

T UTE A. TAYLOR, editor of the
- La Crosse wis., Leader who was
born an inveterate stammerer, ,Iwrites as
follows about the way to cure the
habit:
mo stammering person ever found
any difficulty in singing. The reason
of this is that by keeping time, the Or
gans of speech are kept in such position
that enunciation is easy. Apply the
same rule to reading or speech, and the
same result will follow.
Let the stammerer take sentence,
say this one, Leander swan the
Hellespont' and pronounce it by syl-
tables, scan it, keeping time with his
finger, if necessary, letting each syl-
liable occupy the same time, thus, Le-
I-swam-the- Hel-les -pont, and he
will not stammer. Let him pronounce
slowly first, then faster, but still keep
ing time with words instead of syllables,
and he will be surprised to find that, by
very little practice, he will read with
out stammering, and nearly as rapidly
as persons ordinarily talk or read. Then
practice this in reading and conversa-
ton until the habit is broken up. Per-
severance and attention are all that is
necessary to perfect cure,'

An lnextinguishabIe Fire.

Some fifty years ago, gang of Bel
gian miners, angry with another set of
underground workers, set a mass of
coal on fire to smoke out their comrades.
How well they succeeded, let the record
of half century tell. Years have pass
ed away, a generation has faded, the
angry passion of those who thus sought
revenge has become thing of the past
but the fire started in that mine long
ago blazes on, and no earthly skill has
yet found the way to extinguish it.
Burning on, ever consuming, it is a
fitting type of the unceasing power of
sin and passion, of the never-ending
fire which they kindle.

Once removed from the cause of his
trouble, George soon regained his good
humor; and succeeded so well with his
wooing, that, when, about two hours
after, he took his departure, he did SO as
the prospective husband of the hand
some heiress, Alice Somerville.
Not long after this, George and Alice
were married Georges description of
his love was not in the least overdrawn,
as his only thought was to make the life
of his young wife happy. Our hero's
aversion to peddlers has never been re-
moved, and he always regards them
with an unsympathetic scowl. And
now, when Alice wishes to tease him q
little, she merely remarks something
about "matches and shoe laces."

Great Wealth an Injury to Boys.

We think that the power Of money is on
the whole overestimated. The areatest
things which were done fer the world have
not been accomplished by rich men, or BY
subscription lists, but the greatest thinkers

labors in point of worldly circumstances
And il will always be go. Riches are Of.

who inherits wealth is as apt to have Life
made too easy for him, and SO grows stated

for, he finds time too heavy on his hands

his position in society is oftener no highe
than that ofa polypus over which the It'd
