ROSebuds OF Thought,

Keep the heart tender, and pure and
sweet thoughts, which are but the
whisperings of angels, will shed their
hallowed influence in it,-iust rs the
balmy odor fills the air wherein the
dewy roses bloom.
The surest way to prevent others
from doing wrong, is to do right our
selves. The influence of our example
will have far greater effect than all we
might say.
To love our own flesh and blood is
natural; to love ourselves moro than
all others is selfish; to love the for
tunate is policy; but to love the un-
fortunate is divine.
Beautiful dreams are but sweet re-
Elections.
just as the poor snow covers tho de-
formities OF the earth, so does the
spotless mantle of charity hide the de-
fects of the heart, concealing them
from the eyes of the world, and atom
ing for them in the eyes of God.
The soul is n mysterious volume
over whose pages no eye hath scanned,
saye the eye of Him who created it.
Often we think we are familiar with
its contents, and can read ITS motives
and comprehend its inspirations, when
in reality we have not read the title
page. Hence we are quick TO condemn
and slow TO understand Mrs. Mamie

Two Sorts of Courage.

Commodore Garrison was once cap

and while selling tickets one day hap
pencd to rouse the Ire of passionate
old man, who drew his pistol, and,
presenting it at the narrow window,
full IN the captains face, fired

stead OF taking it up he quietly opened

caps, and, handing it TO his wuuld-be
murderer, said:

The furious man stared at him u
moment, then burst into laugh, and
hcld out his hand.
Another kind of courage is exem-
plilied IN Il story told by young New
York inventor, who, about twenty
years ago, spent every dollar no was
worth in an experiment which, if sue
ccssful, would introduce his invention
to public notice and insure his fortune
and what he valued mOre-his useful

daily papers heaped unsparing ridi-
cule on him. Hope for the future
seemed vain. He looked around the
shabby room, where his wife, u deli
cate little woman, was preparing
breakfast. He was without penny.
He seemed like fool in his own eyes;
all these years of hard work were
wasted. If he were out of the way,
she could return to her friends. He
went into his chamber sat down and
buried his face in his hands, with
desperate resolve to end it all, Then,
with a fiery heat flashing through his

A Salt Lake Saints Architectural
Freak.

On tho corner of Third South and
Eighth East streets, Salt Lake City, a
man has built 4 fantastic CRIB, gaudy
with whitewash and paint and lace and
curtains and rude images.-a some
thing between n Chinese temple and II
brigand's tent-and his neighbors say
he has erected it in anticipation of
tho second coming of the Savior; that
he expects the Master now at any
time, and has prepared this place for
HIS reception. When people speak of
him they tap their foreheads, as though
in their Judgment there were rats in
his intellectual garret. Probably
there are; but ii is clear case that he
has but accepted as literally true what
has been preached around him for
these forty years. We do not know
whether or not he is Mormon, but he
has in his work caused real Mormon
ism to materialize, so that 1t can be
seen by the naked eye on his premises
precisely as it has been preached by
the Mormon chiefs through all the
weary, pitiable years. He has evil
IDENTIFY stinted himself and those de-
pendent upon him to prepare this fan
tastic house, just as the Mormon chiefs
have robbed their people and starved

in ten of their people can ever rest

A WELL-DRlLLED ARMY.

A friendly host is in the land,
And under marching orders
To thread It's way on every hand
And hem In all our borders.
To mend the breaches worn by time,
To run and help the needy,
BY working at each fell design
In gatherings strong aud speedy.
A goodly sight are they when drilled,
Their eyes and poniards glcqming,
Their moycndits no sclcss, rapid, skilled,
Their banners gaily streaming.
Their weapons are Of choicest steel,
For service ever ready;
And friend or foe wound may feel
If in a hand unsteady.
And some have fallen on the way,
And some are maimcd aud battered:
And SO they perish day by day,
And in the dust are scattered.
