I won thee down by the gates of death, And must 1 go again, woo a To win by test of deeper rHis smile and praise as then ? My arms were weary with thy dear weight, Whcn his might have rested mine, Thcy were wound around a stranger's lorm, Instead, sweet babo, of thine. - Kisses that would have quieted thee, On a wanton's lips he pressed, And thou hast a poisoned sorrow drained From thy poor mother's breast. I am faint my love, am wcakbut no Thy mother must not fall, But mount the watch-towe-r of her soul Along this gloomy wall. To height and breath snblime. Away from these venomed eyes that shine With light like baleful star, To freer heights where grander soula, Lion and eaglo are. My lips are faint, my love, for food, The gold his hands denied, Is lavished free In tempting fruits When sbe is by his side. - - 1 1 irrd s.

Mrs. Hofne is not only industrious herself but she has trained her children in habits of industry and punctuality that will recommend them in every situation in life, whether public ' or private. -- Mrs. Home's eldest son Henrywas married-Ju- ly 24th, I860, to Miss Mary Ann Crismon. This was quite an important-even- t, being the in so a first marriage large family. It was a union in every way desirable to all parties concerned and has proved to be a- happy one. At present and for some years past, Henry Home has resided with his family in Paris, Idaho, where he is highly respected. On the 5th of April 18G1, Mrs. HorneV fifteenth child was borne, a daughter, and was named Clara Ella. The mother's health had been quite delicate for some time," and she was ill prepared to endure any additional hardship or trial, but about two weeks after the birth of the babe Mr. Home was called a second time to go to the Missouri river to meet a company ' of Saints. This was a severe trial, with such a large family, to be left with all the responsibility of the household and a young babe to take care of. But Mrs. Home trusted in the, help of a higher than an earthly power or she" could not have risen above the heavy burdens she-wcalled upon from time tp time to endure. The little Clara was rather a delicate child and required much care and attention In the month of May she wa3 taken very ill and it seemed beyond the power of human aid to save her; she was so low at one time that ; she ceased to breathe and it was thought she he ' . f m dead, bu t through mighty .faith and active same: year the babe. whooping cough which,. to all' human appearance, threatened to destroy her life, yet .through careful cursing, faith and ad- ministration according to the order of thai y 13 a healthy, Gospel she was saved,-anpromising young woman, with the highest " possibilities of attainment in view. '.'J. Marriages are always interesting events, and in large households, where; there: are several young people, they are generally merry making times, seasons to look back u pon with pleasure in ycar3 afterwards; so. it has been in me family. The eldest daughter was married the 15th of April 1862, to Edward M. Webb; just twenty years ago now. They reside at the present time in Deseret, Utah, and have several children. - The next rather important event in the family was the mission of Joseph Smith Hurne to Europe in May 1865. His des- tination was Switzerland.

Leonora Taylor was married to - George 13. Spencer, son of Elder Orson S pencer.-T- en days after- - thei r marriage tho young couple left Salt Lake City to go South and assist in colonizing on the Muddy, a mission that many of the Latter-daSaints have reason to remember. . It was one of the many difficult and laborious missions that the Saints have had toend'uro!T01ie.l settlement of the " desolate, barren, desert lands, in Utah. This wedding tour was entirely different to the fashionable trips taken nowadays. .Indeed itll is scarcely possible for the young people of Utah to appreciate what the lathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers have done, : and the hardships they. have endured to make these happy home3 and surroundings that the children enjoy at tho present time. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer have had several children and have five now living. They reside in Paris, Idaho at presen t Mrs. Leonora Spen cer gives: r promise of being a strong-minde- d woman, like her mother; is already very active in all benevolent work, and has decided prmciplesoL ." er own. The 20th of September 1868, Eichard S. Home was married to Elizabeth Trice, and on the 18th of November of the same year Joseph who had returned home in August from his mission was also married; Lydia Ann Weiler, : daughter of Bishop Weiler of the third ward-SalLake City, was the happy young bride. Soon after their marriage they went to live at Gunnison, Joseph having been called to preside as Bishop over that place. He was quite a young man to fill such a responsible position, but he was in every way worthy the honor, and uy xnscourse j,ne aDimyiana enter-pris- e juamicaieu so requisite in the performance of the duties of a Bishop, and father of a ward.
