THE COUNTY PAPER, lly DOIIYNS te WALI.Mll. REQON, MO llItAMIILK. The corn li reaped, the bare brown land Is lccliig In the sunshine bland Of Into September time J How after harvest toll and mirth In restful ealmncM lies the earth, Like rckxI lives past their prime. Red tints of autumn touch the trees That nistWJn the. freshening brceie, And wive (heir branches strong; 1'rom hillside meadows loud and clear, Conies, clarion-like, n note to cheer, The thrush's thrilling song. Tha busy wlU Ke lllttcth by, Where honoj suckle waves on high, And late clematis grows ; A fair brown butterfly floats round A bramble branch that on the ground It d.itnty tangle throws. Tho lowly bramble, taking root In common hedgerows, tearing fruit Kor common hands to pull; A iMtott to tr.ivclcM on tho road, It shows It gracious purple load With blosroms bcaullf ul. White llosrersllko jiearly-tlnled snow, Fair foliage red with autumn's glow, lilpc fruit on one fair spray; Ah met my heart, what beauty lives In lowliest things that Nature gives To blossom on our way. All met my heart, what beauty shows In lowly lives that to their close Dlooui sweetly out of sight: Meek hearts that seek hot worldly praise That And In life's (ecludcdjwnys Dear love und deep delight. Valr lives that have a humVilo root, Sweet lire that bear a gracious fruit, Yet keep their springtime fbwers Upon the liough where fruit hangs ripe, And where the fading leaf Is type Of life's decaying hours. Wc meet them In our dally path These humble Auls, and each one hath A licauty of Its own ; A beauty born of duty done, Of silent victories dumbly won, Of sorrow borne alone. And when the frosts of death fall chill On these fair lives, that blossom still Though summer time Is past, c, Blghlng, wish for quiet ways, In, like theirs, our shortening days Might blossom to the.last. A MORMON TEMPLE. Mhe Grand and Imposing Sttueture Being Erected in a Wilderness. Tho construct'on of the grand tcmplo of worship now being orostod by tho Mormon.Church, at Mantl, Utah, is bo ing pushed ahoad wltlins largo a fore.1 of workmen a9 convonlcneo will permit, nnd the walls of tho building aro begin ning to loom up and aro covered with scaffolding and derricks. Tho Ploeho Record learns from Mr. I). Wilkin, who ha9 iust returned from a trip out in tho Manti country, that tho tcniplo'.is bolng nn5txui!lod of whlto llmostono. Tho building is situated on top of a moun tain, a spur ot tho town of Manti, and is cullod by tho pcoplo oi utaii "Alio Mountain of tho Lord." Tho founda tion of tho tuinplo is sixty-three fret above tha lovel of tho road, and is set in solid rook; the top of tho mountain havln" boon oxcavatod and removed, makiiig it level, is 95 feet In width and 172 in length. From tho ground to tho square will bo 82 foot in height. Thoro will bo two towers erected, ono'atjtho cast and the other at tho west corner of the building. Tho tower at tho east corner willbj 179 feet in height, whllo that at tho west cornor will bo ton feet lower, or 109 foot In height. Thoy aro thirty feot square at tho base. There are four terraco walls around tho moun tain in front of tho tcmplo, which will nvcra:o about sevontcon foot in height and aro about 900 feet in length, and, in all, contain abcut 2,100 cords of rock, as at present built, and 55, 000 yards of debris has been ex cavated and hauled away. Tho stairway from tho road to the upper torraeo is sixty-threo feet anil will eon tain 132 stono stops, sixteen feet in width. In hack of thd teiraco will bo filled with riou soil to tho top of tho stono work, and trees and shrubbery nlantod. and tho tons of tho terraces aro to ho ornnmontud by noatly dressed and cut stone, anil statuos will bo placed at various and appropriate placos.jiTlie water to supply tho tcmplo will be brought in wooden pipes froma spring situated about a mllo and a quarter oust of tho tcmplo back In tho mountains, and has a fall of sovonty-nino feet to tho rosorvolr, and 100 feet from tho reservoir to tho lowor torraeo. Tho wholo sldo of tho mountain is to bo planted with trees and flowers, and tho crystal stream poured forth 'by tho llttlo spring, as wlndsjits way down tho side of tho mountain, will travel from root to root, quonchiug tho!r thirst, thus as sisting tho trees to produco their foliage in spring, tho lloworsjto bloom, andjtho cross to crow. Tho building of tho tcm plo was llrstj'commonced flvo years a( and has been workod on evorjdnco.Jnnd it is oxpectod that It will bo in;suoh con dltion in about three years that It can bo used, but It is estimated that it will tako fully llvo years to bo eompleto tho building. Tliu building will bo llfty fool In holglit and tho excavation at tho oast end for tho bnsomont is about forty. six foot iu depth.

Railroads and tho Farmer. Colonol W. F. Vilas, tho famous Wis consln orator, delivered tho annual ad dress boforo tho Minnesota Stato Fair, and ohoso for his thomo tho "Railroads nnd the Formers," nnd tried to point out tlioir reciprocity of into est. A fow extracts from his ndmirablo spcooh will intorost tho reader: "Boforo railroads wore dovlsod, thoro was no oxtcnslvo freight communlca' Hon but by water. And that was valuo less unloss conveniently accessible. From this tho agriculture of past ages gathorod around tho. sons and lakes, or linod tho river's margin. It girt tho Mcdltorrmic.nl, nnd mado famous tho vnlloy of tho Nile. Tho unwntored world of tho intorior was loft lo tho wandering nomad or tho forest barba rlan. It was tho unknown region full of mystorlous terrors. Tho groat Hcr- cynlnn wood was tho homo of beasts, unuo anil nuninn, tno latter tlio over impending poril, nnd ilnally tho do stroycr of tho civilization of tho world. Tho rcservo corps of barbnr Ism lay back on tho plains ot Rus sia nnd Tartan, which nourished tho florco savages who could llvo on qulno llcsh nnd enrouso on tho milk of marcs, bo, too, wntor communication was slow and tedious, ovon when ac cessible That Is true, especially of in land navigation.

Your lands dor'.vo their valuo, your dustry its reward, your homos tho luxuries and many of tho comforts thoy exhibit, from tho woll abused railroads of tho continent. But whllo wo do them justice, let us not forgot there nr doubtless many faults to bo corrected anil abuses to bo 1 reformed in tho administration of those highways. Corporate powers and cor porate values havo advanced with a more rapid slop than the Invention of our statesmen and law-niakors. Tho agency of tho corporation is compara tively mddern, and, like tho agency of steam,' is a mighty power. Unless sub dued by proper appliances of law sufll clont to control It wo nro liable to dis asters as ruinous to our welfare as tho accidents which sometimes befall tho train aro destructive of lifo. But I must not protract tills weary hour to discuss this problora foreign to my subject. Important as it is, wo need no,t fear it. Tho railroad, rightly used, is the friend of thofarmor and tho wholo pcoplo. It Is tho paramount in terest of its owners that it should so re main.

Many flocks, having been closely bred for sovoral yoars, diminish in sizo whilo tho color bo highly prized gets paler ovory succeeding year. Somo of our prominent Drccaors nave rocourso to tho wild stock for tho breeding males, ovory two or threo years, nnd thus keen up a high standard for thoir flocks of Bronzo turkoys.
