We see it stated that President
Arthur has very decided views touch
ing the Mormon question, and is less
disposed, than even his lamented
predecessor was, to countenance the
denominations practiced by the slater

blasphemously call themselves. We
hope this is true, and those intimate

in his confidence unhesitatingly
assure the country that it is; and
that he will do all in his power to re-
move this blot from the Republic
during his administration. Shosld

Personal Work for 1889.

AT the opening of this new year,
determine to be like rivers, fed by
your own mental springs of thought,
and as you read or hear the words OF
others, digest them and let them
serve, simply to enrich your own sell
developed mental power.
Don't mind the cutting or angry
word. Don't brood over fsncied OF
real sights. But when the spirit
boils and the temptation is strong to
utter bitter and cruel words, then is
the moment of the severest moral
test. Then ask God for help, and
with firm will rule the spirit and
retain the cruel speech. Thus will
you conquer self; and then you will
be able to help others.
Start out this new year with de
termination to master self and selfish
purposes, especially when they con
flict with the rights or pleasures o.
others. True, it is a hard matter a,
times to maintain self control, and dc
that which We know to be right re
regardless Of surrounding circum
stances, but we can do it if We will
Let US remember that it is mostl,
little things that annoy and fret our
spirits, and it is wonderful what
numberless little vexatious things We
can-hnd, from day to day, if we onl,
look for and brood over them; yet
the most Of them will entirely dis
appear or change to positive joys, i
we only know how to meet them il

to seek the sun light, and stand, like

LEARN TO BE pRIEr.--The Golden
Rule says that long visits, long

prayers, seldom profit those who have
to do with them. Life is short.
Time is short. Moments are precious.

tensify. We can endure many an

message, and hold your tongue; boil
down two words into one, and three
into two.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From Our Own Correspondent.
New YORK. IAN. O. 1881.

FROM Our OWn correspondent
New YORK, JAN. 9, 1881.
The mild, not wild, Irishman who
has set the world Of fashion agog
with astheticism, the great Oscar
Wilde himself, has descended on US.
He was dressed too intensely sweet
for anything, from his patent leather
shoes to his purple plush necktie,
when he disembarked. 1t appears
the Atlantic disappointed him. The
storms that have ragged for so many
weeks had subsidized to tamest Gains
as the poet was waited over, and his
yearning soul found vent in the ex-
preston of his hope for something
livelier: "Would that a sea would
sweep the bridge away" he said,
"Would l had him dashed on the
weatherbrow for an hour or so"
growled the unsympathizing captain.
The hardy mariner apparently OBJ
jected to swells, whether of old
Ocean or as a development of British
snobdom in its most lackadaisical
phases.
Now is the time when business
men are up to their eyes taking stock
and figuring in profits. The old year
seems to have passed out pretty we'll;
but the croakers are abroad and
prophecies of approaching hard
times are in the mouths Of a good
many staid old fellows, and have
found expression in sundry journals
The Journal of Commerce, which is
certainly anything but optimistic, as
rule, takes brighter view of things,
and in SO many words says that the
apprehension is illfounded, and that
the abundant prosperity OF the past
few years has SO brought general
stability 10 Our concerns that a panic
like that of 1873 is well.nigh imposs-
ible. Still, it's we'll to be cautious,
and not fool away ones saving, in
stupid but specious schemes. The
Wall street brokers divided $4,000
900 in commissions last year, and
that means the shearing Of a multi
tude of lambs. Take notice, the

Our old public favorite, Lester
Wallack, has opened his theatre. 1t
is gem, and the premiums paid for
seats on the first night were enor-
nous. Taking it all around, it is,
perhaps, the best theatre, with the
best company, in the English speak
ing world, even If it doesn't discount
the carefully managed affairs Of
France. For certain kinds of play
il is still excclled by the famous
double stage of the Madison Square
Theatre, and old playgoers are be-
ginning to look forward to the Thes-
plan temple projected by the de-
signer Of the latter, Steele Mackaye,

promises to provide one combining

Congressman, whether or not Whitta-
ker cut his own ears, replied, mo he

but we think the meanest "nigger" in
the land is more than that "West
Pointers" peer.

The Understanding debt during
the calendar year 1881, vas reduced
q little over SIao, 900, 900. The in
terest roll of the Government on the
first day of January 1881, was &c.,
100000 per annum This has been
reduced SIC, 900, 900 and was on the
first day Of January only 500, 500 900;
and yet there are men who continue
to assert that there is no reduction of
the national debt, but on the con-
trary that the burden is increasing.
There may be party, political ne.
cessity for such statements, but there
cannot possibly be any justification
for such misrepresentation, and the
parry that expects to thrive by them
ought to die. There is no proper
place for it among men.
