The "WATCHMAN! WHAT OF THE HOulr?" Liberal! In, every lexicon th$ word is defined "generous " "generosity;" ve and it means free, as the Heaven is free!

From that time to the present we have jointly cherished the boon, and honored it in every election, by voting for men who desired to tand, not only as benefactors to a small handful of people, but to the whole human family, of whatever caste or clime, as far as they had the privilege to do so; and a retrospective view will fyhow Conference is near at hand. On Wednesday next at ten o'clock A. M., the sixth iiist. the meeting will commence in the large Tabernacle. It is expected there will be a numerous attendance from the country. As this is the year of Jubilee, it is but natural that people will assemble from all parts, to partake of the spirit and blessings anticipated on such a momentous occasion. There are many reasons Saints should naturally look why the Latier-da- y forward to the coming Conference with a great degree of interest. The kingdom of Gcd is growing in strength and power and influence and Zion is lengthening her borders and strengthening her stakes, and calling out into the broad field of action more of her earnest laborers. We are indebted to the politeness of Mr. James Dwyer, the able, efficient and enterprising pioneer bookseller of this city, for a most exquisite bouquet of the choicest flowers of the reason, artistically arranged by the donor. Words are weak to express our genuine appreciation of these beautiful gifts of God, the flowers; and these lovely and sweet perfumed ones, coming so late in the season, and such rare specimens in them, selves, created quite a sensation, and roused the enthusiasm of all the family on the subject of flowers, their beauty, merits, expression e sentiments, thoughts and language. Thanks, Mr. Dwyer, and may yodr success as a florist equal your fondest anticipations, in beautifying your mountain home, which even now forms a great attraction for all who have an eye to the beauSemi-Annu- al , win tiful.

The young couple looked charming on the occasion of the reception, which was held the same evening at the residence of the bridegroom's parents. The bride was exquisitely dressed in simple white organdie, with orange blossoms, and looked the picture of happiness. There were a great number of guests, and a large vadelicious repast of riety of choice presents. A to all, the tables, which good things was served seated forty people, were twice filled. We join with many old friends of the family in wishing these young people health, happiness and prostravel down the journey of perity.

I wish to express my indignation at tho move- ment now being madetodisfranchi.se the women of Utah, losing their argumtnts on the very weak plea that women do not pay taxes. Now, I claim that women do pay taxes with their husbands, as they are partners in the property which they hold; for if the man dies, the woman is called on to pay taxes oti" the property, the same as before. Now you see it is not the individual that is taxed, but the property, whether owned by man or woman. Another plea Is, that women are not citizens. If they are not citizens, what, in the. name of common sense, are they? Will some wise man, who knows moio about women, than women say know about themselves, explain? One will not do if tax? Well, they poll they do not pay on the road, they prepare tho go out to work onafMn thnp.fi who do. and by. that labor 5?i women pay their share of that tax.
