In" V InrlJ The weather is most delightful, and wo are witnessing, as a writer expresses himself in relation i6 'this season: "the' great annual miracle of ;;tho blossoming of Aaronl rod, repeated on myriads and myriads of bronehesltho gentle progression and growth of herbs,- - flowers, trees, gentle, and yet irrepressible, which no .force. can stay , no violence restrain, iiko love, that wins its way and cannot bo withstood by any human power, because itself is Divine power." XJnder th influence of the present weather, our ;city will soon put on its livery of greentand the air be redolent with the fragrance of flowers and blossoms. Everyone who has been confined to the house by wintry weather and the bad condition of the roads can now have the opportunity to walk-ou- t and drink deep draughts of bealth by, filling their lungs with the pure, invigorating air of Spring. If the ladies of our community wouldadopt tho habit of walking out of doors more than they do, it would be better for themselves, and, where they are mothera, for their children. We are convinced that many females are troubled' with; pooiv health,-whif they wouldadopt correct habits, might enjoy a robustness and vigor that would surprise themselves and their friends. Pure air is as essential to health as food. It cannot be obtained in that abundance in close rooms that it should be to ensure good health. It must be sought for where it is;to; bo found out of doors where, it comesla-de- n with sweets from opening flower and bursting vegetation, imparting vigor to the body, elasticity to the step, and se1 renity to the mind. Many women, mothers of families especially, become so absorbed in their household duties, that they deem it all: butjjimpossible to find time to spend in a morning or evening walk, or a little out-doexerciss. They see cares mul-- ; intiply around .them, andfbecomo-svolved in them that they do not think of making an effor t to drive them off for occasional intervals.

(Continued from yesterday C) Thousands of tue Elders of Israel who aro ;now 'occupying these valleys, are now willing, if called npon; to leave their- families and homes ; to go and tho gospel in all the world, and preach be abused," and cast out and suffer poverty and want for tho gospel's sake. Is not this a witness that you are, right before God? It is. You "are willing to feed and clothe the .needy, .arid 'send means out .of your scanty supplies to foreign lands to gather the poor Saints from those old countriesfand it is marvelous in my eyes whatfihe people have done within a few months back. About the 5th of February last wo found that we could only raise about from eight to nine thousand dollars to send to Europe for the poor. Elders Hiram B. Claw-so- n and Wm. C. Staines started for New, York on the 17th of the month.1 Last Conference I had faith that the Lord would favor us and multiply means! Wnen we came to send away the means we had, we were ableMo send $25,000 with the brethren. -- This means was contributed in small amounts: but it is marvelous how itcamo in. We have exercised faith in this matter, andjnow we are able'to send $25,000 more, and we have not touched a bushel of wheat, or a hundred of flour nor an animal that has been turned in; and the means keeps coming in; and it comes more arid more, and they will continue to give until the emigration is over. This is a witness to, tho people that th'ey are right before high Heaven in these things, that the elders are right in going to preach, that their wives and mothers and daughters are right in preserving their means and property; from wasting in the absence of their natural guardians. ; They are right If they delight in coming, to meeting to , of the sacrament, and to bow" partake down before the Lord and worship Hirri. They are right in feedings the poor and their tithing v inpaylng here say i to itho! Latter-da- y Saints if you will feed the poor with a willing heart and ready, hand, neither you noryour children will ever be foundpeobegging bread. In these things the are right: they are right in estab-ishin- g Female Belief Societies, that the hearts of the widows and the orphan may be made glad by the blessings which are so abundantly and so freely poured out upon them. And, inasmuch as we have embraced the fullness of the gospel with honest hearts, the Lord has sworn by Himself that He will save us if we'wiU'contiriue to'be obedient to His will. It Is our privilege to seek unto Him and obtain ,Hio7Spirit to witness unto us continually regarding our labors and works, that wo may always know whether we aro in the linoof ourj - ( n dutyoY nptr vf" This is thogospeljlhlsio 'tho plan of oalvatfon; this is tho kingdom of God: this Is the Zion th at has been cnokbn and of by all tho prophctalclnbp the written wor 1 d began : ..This ia tho work of Zioni which the Lord has promised to brine forth.

When we nave done good ninety-nin- e times and then do an evil, how common it is, my brethren and sisters to look one evil all the day lone' arid never think of the good.

T arn here to do good, andTo teabh my brethren and sisters to sancti-f- y themselves, to get their food, to.build cities and make farms, to teach them to acciimmulate knowledge, and then dispense it to all.- Iihope to see the time when we shall have a reformation in the orthography of (the English language, among this people, for it is greatly needed. Such a reformation would be a great benefit and; would make the acquirement of an educatiorimuch easier than at present. I say to fathers and mothers, never say ' a word that you would not be willing your son and daughter should say, or commit an act you would not sanction in your son or daughter, arid so walk before your children that they may be prejiared .by your example to walk in the jways of life everlasting, and they will not depart from them; and if they, notwithstanding your 'exam pie, should become frbward in their feelings, and see.the folly of they wilL soon unruly, their wavs and turn to their parents and acknowledge their faults and kgain wish tOj be feasted at their father's table: Parents should never drive their children, butlead then along, giving them re-- s1 their minds are prepared to ceive it.

I do not think that these words of Solomon will justify! the ruling of children with ah iron hand.
