MRS. JUDGES GENEROSITY.

IFE'S STREAK as it flows and gurgles as It sings
and dances down the hills and through the val
leys of Utah, bears on its bosom full many a trim,
snug craft. Their flags huttering in tic breczes
of good fortune; their yards manned by smiling
sailors. On the after deck, beneath the awning we
hea the music of the band the laughing chorus of sue
cess. So busy are we IN watching the pleasure craft
the treasure-laden galleons, that see the
dereEct.
The cry Of the stranded sailor, who stands alone
and lonely the deck of his vessel wrecked on the
Jocks Oh disappointed hope rarely rises above the
merry songs OF fortunes favOrites Yet there are
wrecks Sust there are safe ships; the derect floats
too often mmotieed within easy hail of the umptuous
boat We hear less of the break less of the Bit
ter of broken lives than hear of the successes
1T Is not true, as has been often said half i'm jest
halt IN earnest that misery loves company" Misery
loves hole into which to drag its bruised form.
Those who seek to alleviate real distress must not
wait until the spectrs gaunt form rsps with attenuated
fingers at the door. So, when human dereicts would
find safe, snug harbor, they be showed the way
They must be told that the port is theirs of right theirs
now and for al time or they VIII not enter ~
Few wrecks are so pItlfu IN this struggle for ex-
istence the aged and unsuccessful prospector All
has life ne has been buoyed by the hope of day
striking 1t rlch. through storm and stress, through
days and weeks and years Of life he has tramped the
hills with pick and drill searching for the kew which
has unlocked treasures to many which remains hid
den to him.
So the day comes at last when the step grows
feeble the hope long deferred" has last made the
heart sick. Then the amshouse or the unwilling char
iy of prosperous friends This has been the case
Tor years IN Utah; 1t might have gone on for genera
tons more had it not been for the bgheared impulse
of g woman whose husband was once common miner
To him came fortune, but he lived not to enjoy It.
To her Is given the unspeakabe happiness of dispos-
ing of part of that fortune he would undoubtedly
have disposed of 1t had he Deen spared All honor to
Mrs Mary Judge for her Thanksgiving generosity: her
JOY IN giving only be equae ny the oy of those
who viii enjoy the fruits of her benefaction
A hospital ana home for Utah miners; a haven for
the broken and the unfortunate: rest for the weary
peace To the soul The who have made it possible
for Utah to add its great quota the wealth of the
world are entitled to all the good that can come to
them Here Is place where they viii have right to
enter here when they the portals, they can say
Home sweet home"
Without regard 10 race or color, without regard
to r2hglon, the unfortunate miners viii find share
N happiness IN the evening Of their lives: they viii
be healed of their wounds and out into the world
again able to battle with Its vicissitudes.
Could John Judge desire a better monument? II
Is given to him to look over the bulwar that separ-
ates the finite from the infinite must he not feel that
rood account being given in the stewardship of his
fortune!
To Bishop Seaman The Herald offers sincerest
congratulations In him a great trust has been re-
posed that he VIII well and wisely administer it there
is no reason for scintill4 of DOUBT
