COULD WE TELJ,.
PT JSJI8- M. A. kiddeh.
Cotild wo toll what’s best, my neighbor,
In tha world wo’ro passing through—
Bow to manage fl’pll and wiseiy
All tho tasks wo have to dol—
Could we eeo life's oppn pitfalls,
Could we count iis many snares,
ghoidil wo happier bo than meeting,
As WO do, rate unawares?
Could wtf tell amid life’.s friendships
Width one was the friend most time,
Erf! we gave the hand in greeting,
Erowc lived onr trust to rue—
Could we know by intuition
False from real—friend from foe—
[Should we, think you, sleep the sounder
In this valo of tears below?
Could we tell; my friend and ne ighbor,
Wait there was for us in store—
Whether riches and abundance,
0) tho lean wolf at the door—
Could we foresee fhp hours of anguish,
Every aehc and every pain,
Would not life lose half Its sweetness?
Would not pleaure be In vain?
Walking blindly through the shadows,
Kow and then a cheering ray,
pope and Faith, our shield and buckler.
Is ron cs the better way.
By and b y the mists will vanish,
By aud by tho shadows glide,
Letting in tho light of wisdom,
When we reach the other side.

John Taylor, during the Mormon Con

rights of the Mormon peeps in conr-cc
tion with the government of the nation-*
the laws bt which should lie obeyedi
and its officers respected; yet lliere was
a principle in conneetio n with onr social

Soon it grew a largo flgh. It said to'
Mann: “The very yeir I shall have
reached my fill! growth the d* Inge will

the vessel and I will save thee.” After
keeping him thus, Maun can it;] the

which shall prevail, the laws of the
United States or the alleged revelation,
