A Woman's Impressions of Salt Lake.

A letter from Utah, written by lady,
says: There are hordes of women in
shaker or slat sun bonnets and calico
dresses-scant in length, breadth and
thickness; whole tribes of half-grown
boys and girls, hoodlums with hardly
an exception; young men sullen and
vicious looking; young women, care
worn and degraded; every woman with
baby at the breast and two or three
hanging on her skirts; more halt, blind
and lame than ever saw in all my life.
But the grave of Brigham is dilapidated
to the last degree. Not a wife has
planted a shrub or seemingly shed
tear. A commonp.a ace, flat little granite
slab marks the spot where the great
prophet rests. His grave is distinguished
from the Others by being adorned with
the decaying and odorous remains of
very dead cat and some broken pieces of
old dishes. These may strike you as
rather unique cemetery ornaments, but
| guess, on the whole, they are good
enough for old Brigham. One OF the
numerous Mrs. Young lives near us.
She is relict Of the departed prophet.

the Endowment house and give her hus-
band away every time he is married.
But for all that, the poor creatures al
ways let you know with an air of some
Importance when they do happen to be
the first wives. Imagine state of
society where it is no cause of comment
to having a married man paying. atten-
tion to a young girl. Think of the bit
terness and heartache oft. There were
about 1000 people in the congregation

but doubtless that was the idea of very

Words of Wisdom.

Common sense makes no parade.
No wise man ever wished to be
younger.
Self reliance is quite distinct from self
assertion.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
1t is a good thing to learn caution by
the misfortune of others.
Nothing is more dangerous than a
friend without discretion,
We hand folks over to Gods mercy,
but show none ourselves.
There are calumnies against which
even innocence loses courage.
Better be upright and want, than
wicked and have superabundance.
1t is the nature of the human disposi-
tion to hate him whom you have in
(ured.
The key to every man is his thought.
Casual thoughts are sometimes of great
value.
Those days are lost IN which we
no good; those worse than lost in whido
we do evil. ct
People seldom improve when they
have no other model but themselves tC
cony after.
! The mind of youth cannot remair
empty; if you do not put into it tha
which is good, it will gather elscwher'
that which is evil.

A PrecOciOus Boy.

Robert Harris, little five-year old
boy, whose parents lived near Senatobia,
Mississippi, has given evidence of re-
markable intellectual powers. He can
read and converse fluently, using choice
words and in q pat way. Before he
had reached his third year he had read
the second and third readers, and had
made some progress in arithmetic,
showing remarkable aptitude during
the time in spelling and other branches
of knowledge. While in his fourth
year he read the fourth and fifth
readers, learned good part of the null
tiplication table and spelled from Web
ster's common school dictionary almost
any word given him. He reads news
papers, and has considerable knowledge
in general information and current
events

A Fatal Shirt-ButtOn.

DIR. Sander, physician, of Elberfeld,
Germany, died recently from the effects
of Il singular accident, which conveys its
own lesson: One morning in 1874, while
dressing, he contrivei in some way to
get a shirt button between his teeth.
Unconsciously, while laughing, the but
ton slipped into the back of his mouth,
and thence into the larynx. All the ex-
ertions of his surgical friends to remove
it were vain. 1t was ascertained that it
sank into the right lung, which soon
became irritated. Splitting blood en-
sued, and he was himself looking for
ward to his death as not very remote.
He removed to villa he had near
Frankfort Main to pass his last
days in quiet. Here he was surprised by
n fit OF coughing, accompanied by spit
ting of blood, in a paroxysm of which
the button was elected His health
rapidly improved, and in few months,
regarding himself as quite cured, he re
sumed his professional work, and
endeavored to gather up the threads Of
his former practice. But last year un-
mistakable symptoms manifested them
selves that the lung had not fully re.
covered from the presence in its sub.
stance of n foreign body for severa
months. He spent the winter in the
south of Europe, but returned almost
worse than he went. He gradually
wasted away and sank few days ago
