BEAR LAKE VALLEY. TFor tho EocPONEst. - -- PLEASANT MOMENTS. I left borne Thursday morning, April 4th, to visit my children in Bear Lake Valley, going by way of Evanstcn. I' heard part of a conversation between some gentlemen on the cars, wjilch was very amusing. There was a little man aboard who teemed to be very nervous and inquisitive; on arriving at a small town he said, "What place Is thh?" A gentleman from Salt Lake City (not of our faith) replied, l,Thls is Echo". The little man asked, VAre there any Mormons here?" The answer was "I do not know; if there are any they will not hurt you.". He then gave him a short the building up of the town while they were building the railroad, the number of inhabitants, how many men and wemen and how many Mormons there were then; he himself living there aUbe time. JiNow," said he, "I live in Salt Lake City, with Mormon neighbors all around mej th-treat me as well as own do their they people. One; thing,! like about, them they support their own poor, and sustain their own church, while other denominations are always begging of me. They make merpay them money every year, while the Mormons let me alone." Well'1 pafU the nervous man; "I don't know anything about whaC I hear in the East Ii would them, only ' to like go to Salt Lake myself." The other gentleman said, "You would find there a gcod ac-coun- tof y industrious people." At Evans ton I tcok the. stage, arriving at Woodruff about eight o'clock, and was kindly entertained by Bishop Lee and family; Sister Lee, who is - President of the Relict Society, said that they were raising stock to seH for tbe porpof e of raisirg money to buy wheat to store away, as it was too cold to raise much grain in that valley. I commended them for their energy, and wished them success, in.the and I counseled the other' Societies in Bear Lake Valley to go Into the same business. ; ; ; 7 The i nil uence of moments spent in pleasan t iz company, or among pleasant surroundings is al Ways elevating. Everybody istready to acknowledge- the influence of plesaant people. There is something invigorating and refreshing Jn the society of people of pleasant and kindly manners, even though they know nothing of 4n the rules bf etiquette;and are hot language, or science. They reflect themselves and carry the sunshine of life with them, which gladdens all that come within the radius of its beams. .. But pleasant moments impress themselves upon the heart, they linger in our memory like some bright dreamand we recall them again and again, and live them oyer and fin-over in imagination, ;, ;j7.:: scenes Times, hours; moments, spent among that have engraven themselves upon memory's tablets form pleasant episodes in the history of Individuals; they not only impress us happily and add to our enjoyment then, but ever and anon along :the journey of life, in moments of quiet, or it may be when sorrow lays Its hand in chastening upon us, these moments of delight rise up to bless us with their tender reminiscence?, and we draw around us with fancy's picturing the loved cnes who were near lis in the time, and breathe in again, as.it veie, the exquisite luxury of y: the moments never to be forgotten. 1 1 is not- always w ealtb, or 1 s a pp 11 a nee s,.o r surroundings, that yield most real pleasurable moments; often , in the rustic cottage beside the open fire of pine knots, or in some plain, homely garden, or perchance, under the boughs of some gnarled and unpymmVtrical old tree, the tender thought, the brilliant Jest may have been called .forth, that will live in memory while life lingirv--Horruilar are human. emotions, and ho v. curtrusly they affect the -- rr n apd-giy- OBITUABY; . , w 'J in Mill Bip, J une 3d, of Creek tWaid t Salt: Lake '6o.t Puerperal Fever and diseased lungs, In her 44th year, Charlotte;Bebec( wife of James B.
