SAFE
"They that trust in the Lord shall be as Noun
Zion. which cannot be removed, but abideth ior
,yer As the mountains are round about Jerusa
EN-, 80 the Lord is round about his people iron
ienceiorth, even for ever."
New lights are on the grand old words
As we read them ont to-day,
with the guardian mountains round about
Where the sheltered waters play.
How safe we are within the vale
Through the glorious summers day
suppose hostile host should come
And threaten US tonight
The mighty hills are round about
And who would win the nght2
God hides us In his fastnesses,
But keeps us in his sight
We heard awhile the thunder's voice,
And saw the lightnlng's FASH
But the bold hills drew the clouds away
And we did not hear the crash
Only the playful beck ran on
with its merry dance and dash
And in the olden times linen say
SO safe was this low dale,
That even In the fercest wars
No armies could prevail,
For the stawart hills kept free from harm
The jewellers In the vale
And this Ia written on the slopes
OF the guarding crag and fell
Gods love is mighty as the hills
He keeps his people we'll
His goodness ia our stronghold
Where we In safety dwell
Nothing so strong as the hills,
Except the love of God
Some mountains have been worn away
Since foot of man nrst trod,
But still the unchanglng Shepherd guides

THEyEDMUNDS BILL.
One Manly Editor Den0unees
1t.

New York, a. Worlds editorial:
The President yesterday signed the cut
rsgeous and worse tusn silly Mormon
bill, which Congress has sent him. No
body suspects 8 man of the world, like
the President, of any personal desire to
persecute Mormons because OF their prac-
tice of polygsmy. and he must have
signed the bill either because it was
easier for him to sign than to resist the
pressure Of its advocates, or else because
it was easier for him to do this than to
consider the objections to it and the con-
sequences 10 which it may lead. The
proper course to take is not to undertake
10 settle the Mormon question until the
majority Of The voters Of Utah are gen.
tiles, when the Mormon question will
settle itself. An attempt to extirpste
polygsmy before that time can only be
carried on by violent or unconstitutional
means, snd must do serious mischief
1t is much to be regretted that tho Pres
iGent should not have had courage to
stand up against the silly clsmor Of Con-
gress, which is not an expression OF any
public sentiment important enough to be
reckoned with, and it is much TO be
hoped that the bill which the Presidents
signature has made law will somehow be
prevented from bearing its natural fruit

A WOlnAan's Yes or No.

VIM. Black, in one of his novels, express
es his views upon a subject that receives
much quiet Thought, in the following words:
The woman is not born who can quite for
get the man who has once asked her to be-
come his wife. even though ut the m
she may nave rejected the 'ffer without Il
thought Of hesitation. Life with her, a.
with ail of us, il SO much q matter Of expert
ment and 50 rarely turns out to be what one
anticipated, that even when she is married
and surioundt d with children, husband and
friends, she can not but at times beihink her.
st If Of that proposal, and wonder what would
have happened il she had accepted it. Would
her own lite have been fuller, happier, less
occupied with trivial and sOrdid cares ?
W"ul0 he have become rs great and famous
ii she had married and hampered him with
early ties? Might not she, %supposiDg things
10 have gone the other way have saved him
from utter ruin, and have given him courage
and hope? After all; there ~ nothing more
important il The world than human happi-
ness; and as the simple YES" or emo" Of
m .id-nhood may decide the happiness Of not
one but two lives, that is why it is y matter
of universal inseres. in song and story.

a Handy Table.

In my kitchen there is a table which / cor
daily recommend to every h~ousekeeper. It is
a perfect treasure. It is three feet six inches
long, twenty six inches wide and thirty
in ches high. The legs are large and heavy,
With large castors In them, around the top is
a moulding an inch high. When the dishes
are ready to wash this table is rolled beside
the dining table and the dishes wa shed ON it.
When we are at meals it serves, with a nice
cloth over it, as a side table.
When we wish to move the dishes from
the kitchen to the dining room, or vice versa,
we roll them on this table. When we are
cooking at the stove, this table is rolled
close 10 the stove and serves to hold what.
ever we wish to put on it. It's cost could
not exceed three dollars, but it is worth the
interest on the investment every day in the
year. II is such a saver of steps, such a con-
venience, that | sometimes wonder how |
kept house without it before. Every house.
keeper should have one of these tables if they
value comfort.

TO q cold room 10 learn ten verses from the
Bible. So when the rest of The family reached
the horse-hair parlor, they all sat rs stiff as
obelisks; and little Sarah was forbidden to
look out of the window. The father of the
family rocked and looked steadily at some
wax a ,wers on the mantel. and said never a
word all day. He was not happy; he did not
rest; and there WAS nothing to smile at. 1t
was 700 cold to walk out to a graveyard.
and all other optn air places of resort were
forbidden.
On the walls were many notices worked
in worsted. Que was in big blue and yellow
letters-"Our Dear Mother" who was ham,
4nering Charley on the back stairs because
he was trying to rub some frost off the win
dow to see how deep the snow was in the
open lot. Another sample sign, in green
and red worsted, was ''Pspa's Girl who
WAS getting spanked in the spare bedroom
by papa. because she said, Lets all go
down to the niger church and have fun"
On the mansel was a china cup, bearing the
gilt letters. "Jimmy is a good boy" Jimmy
was at that moment imprisoned in the cellar
because he had taken the aforesaid cup down
to look at a moment.
1t was a happy Sunday afternoon! Not one
good word went out from one to another.
No smile lit the darkness of that solemn
room. No young heart that afternoon had
one look Of kindness or Of love to carry into
future years and bring his mind back without
a sbudder. Yet those people were not Chris
tains. The father ,ippled slightly on a week
day. but with utterly blank responsibility
never did on Sunday. 1t was he Of whom
the story was told that when Charley was
asked whether his father said grace or any
thing before beginning his meals, the boy
replied: ''Yea, he says 'goddlemighiy, IS
his all you've got for dinner?' 1t was for
Jimmy, the boy who had the china cup that
he could not touch, that the prayer was made
'Oh, God, save brother Jim. He swears,
he steals, he drinks. Us girls don't, amen
Yet there were household words in that
parlor-meaningless, hypocritical words,
which did not even deceive the %neighbors.
Those parents were sowing sawdust in the
hearts of those children, who saw that the
household words were stagnant lies. Above
all the notices on the wall, the brightest in
worsted and the heaviest in frame, was 'God
Bless our Home" But in that place it seemed
az if there was no God, no Blessing and no
Home. What was lacking in that stiff Sum-
day prison- house, on that gloomy, cruel af-
ternoon before w~ashday, was just a little
cheerful fun. We have no doubt that the
child Saviour was not pinned up like a pap
poose on the Jewish Sabbath. He sympa-
thized with children; but some of His alleged
followers try TO crush out of their children
all that is calculated to make them fit for the
Kindum of Heaven.

He was in no danger of being run away
with, however.
'.And do you still love me 2" Carita asked
looking at him earnestly.
Love you, my angel! Of course ! do.
Nothing can change my love'-and he drew
her to his heart and laid his cheek against
hers. With a little soft, happy sob she lifted
her arms and twined them around his neck !;
and then he tells himself that there is moth
ing more on earth to be wished for.
"Carita-my darling Carita - he said in a
low choked voice.
The girl still retained the cable-grip on his
neck.
The minutes pass ; then she looked up at
him with soft, speaking eyes. There are no
tears on her cheeks, but her face is pale as
moonlight, and On it is a new, deep meaning
that Roscoe had never seen there in all his
life before-a gentle light, as kind as d ath,
as soft as holy love.
