H- - lZZ mitiimjm Bat just what to talk of is hard to decide, Tho world is bo broad, bo deep and bo wide, With so many subjects for thought and for speech, And all bo infinitely ont of my reach; For we don't comprehend the smallest thin g, The tiniest shrub, thatoird on the wing, So . beyond th wisdom of you or I Wo see them live, and we see them die! Bnt we cannot call fromTlha earth's dark breast The lovely flowers our earth has blest, Nor give to the birds the breath and song That cheers our hearts the whole day long. We walk abroad, in the sun's bright ray, That cheers and brightens our earthly way, ' And we boo It silently sink from sight, Leaviug a glow of golden light. And then we watch for tb twinkling etar, And the moon peeping up o'er the hills afar; We gaze, and admire, and love thsm all, But the mantle of mystery still will fall -- O'er our dim mortal eyes, that we may not know Just nowGod governs His' works below; But we know 'tis with wisdom and mighty skill, That.IIis Land guides all to His own great will! All move in harmony grand and true Must study the pago nature holds to view; There is no jarring or discord thenv Only man has marred the picture fair.

Snow, rode up the river about two miles to see rf they jcould find any better place for the ferry than here they returned, not having found any, consequentlyjtwas agrced to establish it here. One or two of the brethren then took the others back over the river in ' the leather boat, and they then returned. He says, "The, brethren up to "this date have cut from 1500 to 2000 tons of hay, the most of which is already stacked." He "also mentions the arrival of Uncle Joseph Young and family that evening. There were then rising of 800 wagons in. the three camps, which were situated ' m me iorm oi a triangle. On the morning of the" 8th Bishop Whitney and Bros. Woolley and Van Cott started for St. Louis to purchase goods, also Wm. Kimball, Colonel Kane,)aniel Davis and Orson K.Whit: ney started for Nanvoo. On the 11th Wm. returned with O. P.

They had gone about hfteen milea nr. t.hp-.fm. the village when he (the Colonel) told them ho did not feel able to go through by land, consequently they came back and put him on board the steamer "General Brooks," letting Wm. take his horse, and agreed to meet him at Nau-vdin which if ha failed he was to keep the . . , It is sad to think how he turned away. From God, and troth, and the light of dy, To wander in darkness, and 6in, and strife, Away, far away, from the paths of life.

He brought the gospel and left the key That opens the way for you and me; Even the way that our Savior trod, Holding fast to the Iron rod, men t. r : o, That will lead you safe by the mansion high, Whose Inmates scoff as you pas3 them by; That will keep you still, though the wild seas roar, And wreck, and ruin lie on tho shore. That will whisper peace to the troubled soul, And guide life's bark o'er every shoal, , 'Till it reach the haven of peace and rest In the golden city, redeemed and blest. S. E, R.

On the 3rd the committee sent to confer with the above named tribes brought in their report of the same. "They had seen the chiefs of the Omahasv Big Elk and Standing Elk, his son, who signed the article which they had drawn upjreqiiesting their consent to remain . one or two or more years. Both tribes are very anxious to have all the improvements we shall leave behind. The Otoes were anxious that we should not close with the offer of the Omaha3 and go up the river, because there they would have no clue to the improvements we shall make, whereas if we stay where we are they consider themselves entitled to every thing we shall leave behind. A committee was appointed by the council to look out a good place for cattle and to see about the removal of the ferry up the river near here.". On the 5th my father,accompanied by Bros. 0. Pratt, W. Woodruff, J. M. Grant, Horace Eldredge and several others, set out in pursuit of a new ferrying place. A committee met them from the other side ofthe river by agree . - UTAH: AST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

It .is an exhortation to the young to prove themselves worthy their grand parentage and make the country they inhabit great as they become r great themselves. The lecture was loudly and feelingly applauded whenever any touching or emotional sentiment was portrayed in words. He seemed to feel all and more than he said, and his manner indicated his intense interest in the theme he had so graphically worked upjmd jpon which he had bestowed much precious time and thought.
