The evenings and early mornings are frosty but the mid-timof day is warm and bright with sunshine. The laboring men highly appreciate this pleasant weather, as it affords them the oppor tunity of getting their winter supplies ot fire-wood irom tne canyons witn so mucn more ease and comfort than the same work could be done in stcrms of snow and cold winds. e The chill winds of atumn are sighing around, The Jeaves dry and wither' d fall fast on-- the ground, The blighted no longer may bloom, O loveliest preachers, ye fell us our doom! Thy brightness and beauty, where is it, oh where ? Thy fragrance is wasted away on the air, Thy fresh beaming beauty, pure lovely and fair, Where is it ? oh tell me echo answers "Aye where ?" Bright dewdrops that nourished thy buds into bloom, That drew such gay colors from out earth's dark womb, v Exhaled with thy fragrance borne far on the air, Thy beauty where is it ? echo answers me "where ?" Thy splendid regalia of red, green and gold, . Have vanished away like a tale that is told, storm-tosse.Now all deadened and once passing fair,. ? is it where me "where.?'' answers echo Thy beauty Our world seemed an Eden, most marvelous fair, r .And lightened stern duty of one half its care," Yet Autumn winds sighing repeat but my prayer, ' Thy beauty where is it ? echo answers me ''where ?"

Sixty-firs- t conference of the church is being richly dif fused among the inhabitants here, whose hearts are open to receive it, and who would have been in those favored assemblies to hear the pleasing words of God from the, lips of his Prophets, but for circumstances over which they have had no control. The leaven works semi-annua- well,'. A Cache Valley Stake Conference of the Relief Society was held in Logan on Monday the 20th inst ; and the same spirit of exhortation and blessings for all, that characterized the General R. 8. Conference held at S. L. City on the 7th inst, rested upon the speakers both morning and afternoon, and permeated the hearts of the congregations. Taking this as a sample of the different Stakes of Zion, have we not great reason to rejoice that the women of the Latter-daSaints are not; all sleeping... so as to let their lamps go out ? . If soundly 111 tl oe counted! iooiisn, wnen tne comnve will ing of the Bridegroom is heralded, let us be thankful indeed that there will also be "five" y . . . . f short time" quite a T settlement has been formed by people from the Eastern states mostly, who have taken up claims, built log" cabins nearly all of them with thatched roofs, so that at a distance? they have the appearance of .scattered promiscuously over the country.
