Idaho, which insures his trap OF rapid

cat best, life is not very long" says a
philosopher. ga few more s'ghs or
smiles, few more tears, some pleasures,
much pain, sunshine and song, clouds
and darkness, hasty greetings, abrupt
farewells-then our little play will close,
and iniurer and injured viii pass away.
Is it worth while to hate each other?"

When we read OF the fable OF the wolf
tho wanted to kill the lamb for muddy
lg the water below him, we think that
case OF supreme gall; but the propo-
ition to place a statue OF Brigham
Dung, as the representative man OF
tab, within the hall Of statues in tile
apitol at Washington, is the last feather
} the patient cancels back. Brigham
Dung was an extraordinary man in
ome respects, as his business career in
Itah proved beyond doubt. But there
not the least doubt that he was the
of the Mountain Meadow
lassacre-at least he made no effort to
ring its perpetrators to justice. If Utah
III bring forward no better man than
righsm Young Tor national statue,
t her wait. 1t will do her good to ex-
'cise little patience in this respect.
