Ladies' Associations to aid us by procuring subscribers, or getting up clubs, and help to make this old friend as popular and - entertaining as any new one that may be brought forward, tf there are sisters not able to take the paper alone, by two or more paying a small sum they can take It together. President Young's suggestion to us was, ''Tell the sisters to take the Woman's Exponent, preserve the numbers and have them bound, they will combine a portion of Church History." They certainly will of the work of women. Women complain, in many instances, that they have labored diligently in this kingdom, and yet it is scarcely known; well, through the Exponent their labors may be recorded and their names banded down with honor to future generations. Will these whole subscriptions are due please settle as soon as they can make it convenient. We think it is extensively known that paper rags are as good as cash in payment for the other breeds and those wha subscribe to no creed." It Is high time that attention should be gi ven to this subject, for although some people may think Mormons are not made of the flame material other people are, because they have suffered and been silent, they may allow persecution to spread In the land until they fall under the curse'of the Almighty, who has promised to avenge the wrongs of the innocent and oppressed.

Recently there has work. "Songs of the Heart," a book of poems by Mrs Hannah Tapfleld King, is before us. It is a neat little volume of. origioal poetry, pretty enough to lie on the table in any lady's parlor, and would certainly be a pleasant companion in a lonely hour, for it contains poems upon the subjects which lie near to all hearts, suitable for old or youog; many of them are full of patbo3 and melody, and others are suggestive and true to life. The book in itself is deserving of patronage, and we trust It will And ready sale. Our young people should cultivate a taste for poetry, it always has a gentle and refining influence. Mrs. King is a pleasing writer, and this little book is not wanting in all those womanly sentiments that will make it peculiarly attractive to the 'sisters. It also reveals something of the .author's speaking as it does from the inner fountains of her woman's heart. The book is for sale at this office, and at.
