Our advice to young ladies Ji,. qualify yourselves for some noble pdrpose iri life. Well, Bo much supposing I should get marrleuT the better for you and your husband and especially' your children, for of all the positions woman Is callfed to occupy, the Ono that needs the most careful preparation, the highest endowment, Is that of being a mother. There is not a positive necessity of certain conditions in li fe to make y ou what you may a9pi re to be; you can cultivate youreelf under almost any circmsianbes, if jou have the will and Thos who have been the most celebrated in Jlteratere, In science aod in art, and ' those who ,'b'ave acquired moat wealth h ave begun br cultivating themselves; and have risen by, df grees to ihe rank they occupy. In all that relates to life much Isexpected of woman,, therefbie her need of cultivation Is great, and it should be not only in thp graces and embellishments that beautify and adorn, but in the sound and profound truths by which the greatest problems are solved. If woman gives to home the tone that attracts the hearts of all the household, If woman gives to society its character, should cot the mothers of the race have every avenue open to them possible, Hhatthey rnlght dedica'e themselver to a life - in-di3po- sed de-sirabl- e 11 deter-mihatlp- n. i oTftf aVwy lrg rcenge of old; maids, of theJr energy, or iLdus- -i jtecause. trj,xtlindependence,-bu- t Jrqm other causes ' wUt knowtr, : but which w e h are not p pac e lut IManpt . ."ild,to explain., lv t:,)-- i . ; :Qirlaare;Tot suitable pr txTarrletl life uuliss - ihe dte energetid and industriiiU?, and they ahduld b will Informed on all general sul ct. jt and muoh'cf this they can do thimstlvts. if -- tbey'wlll.J : , v GlrU, do not Indulge io IdUnesi?! ho r.ofven we have beard the eiclainationT I'm toot g to work, I'm going to hare a good time; drudges are not appreciated," Ave are quite .willipg jtq ad mithere la some drudgery con. nected wiihji.woma' life.

We regret that the young)people of Ogden have given up publishing "The Amateur;" that a journal in ine 1 merest or me juuiuai improvement 'Associations Is needed must be apparent to all who consider the subject. "The Amateur" has done good work in its field of labor, and its pager have always been filled with expressions of true principles and pure sentiments, and of this class of reading there is a lack in the world. We are sorry to have "The Amateur" suspended. The Book of Abraham, by Elder George Beynolds, is indeed a great acquisition to the home literature of the Saints. It is not a crude, unfinished work thrown together hastily, but all who read its pages will understand it is compiled with thought and carefnl, attention to facts, and is an embodiment of a series of historical facts that possess a significance to the Latter-da- y Saints. We commend it to all as a work of genuine merit. The book is for sale at the office of the Deseret News; it can also be obtained here. We would respectfully solicit the Secretaries of the Y. L. M. I.

Fifty children come forward and presented this mother in Israel their bouquets of flowers, then one little girl presented to her a card flower reclever with a few lines of poetry written and the Inscription. On thy 80th -- -- Birthday. . - , The children sapg and recited some beautiful pieces; they seemed really inspired by a divine power. While looking at, and listening to the children many delightful passages ran through my mini such as "In as much as ye did it unto the least of these, my servents ye did it untume" etc. Before' the children were dismissed the aged mother passed all present. There were several spectators present, who felt to say God bless the children and God bless the parents and all who encourage the children in doing good. ... .. ... . M.
