We believe we haveia faint recollection ol'some such thing being mentioned in connection with Utah county a few years since. It is probablo that the next Slate assembly of the Christian Endeavor society will be held in litis city next April. They should be given a royal welcome. Ogden and Salt Lake have hitherto hail these assemblies, assem-blies, ant it is time other Utah towns were given a chance. The new depot, now building in the Rio Grande Western yards at this place, will soon be completed, and will be a decided ornament to Springviile. When the labors of Ihe railroad people are finally, completed that part of the city will make a most t i t lavoraoie impression unon LVKIiCION DID' T WOltK. Away up north in Rich county, where the editor of the Randolph Round-Up has his l.tir, are nun with enlarged ideas of their own importance. Such people are to be met up with in ( very community, so it H not sti arize that thev should k-xist in Rich county. But it is not everywhere that sue!) people fi id their icions attended by the r suits const qiienl upon an attempt lo coerce someone, who differs with them in opinion on matters of more or less importance, import-ance, that ibey do in Randolph, Rich couii'y. The tale where of is about as follows: Thti editor of the Ronml-Up, probably in his efforts to help along matters which when de veloped would lines of news make a few for his sheet, a-tsiste I in irettin: out calls lor Republican meetings, rallies, etc, acting as chief scribe or bill-sticker or something of the sort. In some finall particular his gratuitous labors were not satisfactory to the parties bene- fiteti, ami they registered a kick, further fortified by a threat. As every man is privilege! to object to things he doesn't like, the Round Up man probably very properly told them that if they didn't like the way he wrote a call, they might ex pent their own energy in writing writ-ing ono they did like. There was no money in it for him. The threat planted against the luckless editor was by a few Republican politicians and to the effect that if he did not revise re-vise certain of his actions, con- litions would lie brought about whereby he would suffer great teciiniary loss, ihe kick the editor no doubt cared little about. Men of his profession are notoriously case-hardened in such affairs. A threat like this, however, called for notice, for resentment, and if possible, for reprisal as a means of defense. de-fense. The knight of the shears, when considering the actions of his aforetime Republican friends, bethought him of the Dtinocralic camp as a possible .Vu uiW..1S?'s'1IcVi,em of that tribe. We can imagine hi3 reception recep-tion by that worthy, and how tin latter explained to the etlitor that the Democratic party alwnys stood ready to relieve re-lieve the oppressed and to right Republican wrongs. It is ever thus. Fur what manevir fled from the Republican to the Democratic parly or from the Democratic to the Republican ditto, and anon abandoned both for the Populists, that he halh not been rewardod in honeyed promises which endureth not after election? Yen, verily. So it came about that the Round-Up man and the chief of the Democratic cohorts of Rich county soon hat!

It is belter to prow out of conditions con-ditions than to he forced out. If you outgrow a condition you are ready for a better, and quite likely to kDow what your roil need is. If you are forced out of a condition upon which you have depended you are left help-le.-s, drifting rudderless. You have to (row then arid it (jives you 'growing pains." .Some people will n it grow until they are forced to do SM, and thev suffer and blame conditions con-ditions Instead of their own inertia. Presumably the "growing pains" refened to in the above clipping (from the Utah Eagle, published by the school for I lie Deaf and Dumb, at Oden) are what makes people growl when they find themselves behind in ihe march of civilization. It may be "growing pains" which lead some- Springviile people to oppose t lie iutroduc- 11011 ' system ol electric I lights under municipal owner ship. Possibly the more ex-pensive ex-pensive and dangerous coal oil lamp east a these "pains." No doubt it is the fear of these "growing pains" which compells Springviile to keep tied up in the city pasture a large tract of land which would make homes for lots of our energet io young men and women who are now compelled to look elsewhere for locations.

Her eyes get bright, her checks get red, and she laughs too loud for a lady, I think." 'Impudent little creature!" said Mrs. Iverson. hurrying on, and angry, 'as if Mary had been talking to her. Still she could not forget the words, and that day at dinner no one heard her laiifc'h. Aftcrdiuner she felt low-spiiilcd, low-spiiilcd, and sat alone in one corner of the piazza. Her two little hoys were playing nut far away, and with them a boy they had just got acquainted ac-quainted with. "Don't you like champagne?" asked Tommy Iverson. "I never had any.'' said the little friend. "We have it often at dinner, and mamma gives us a little,' said Ned Iverson; but I like rel wine better. When Tom and I get older we will always drink wine. Rich men all do, and we want to be rich and owu a yacht." "Vs, indeetl, we do; fjlks on yachts hate lujjuyf fun." "My Uncle Jerry owns a yacht and he is rich, but he dou't drink wine. He is a temperance man," said the other boy. "What is a temperance man?" akcd Neil. "A a Christian, I guess a real good ma a like Uncle Jerry." "My mother is a Christian. I heard her say so, and she drinks wine, lots of itso now," said Tommy.

Next day Mrs. Iverson had a long -4i('Ki h ' 1 - -v -.1 twit on the whole, she thought good people ought not to get a habit of wine drinking. She meant lo stop, and wanted her boys to think as she did. She was a kind mother, who had not lost her influence, and so Tommy and Ned agreed to all she said.
