NOTES.

It is a characteristic of a great man that he has time. He is not in a hurry; he bosses his work, and does not permit it to control him. He always has strength in reserve.

Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt. Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined with Poverty, and supped with Infamy. After all, of what use is this pride of appearance, for which so much is risked, so much is suffered? It can not promote health, nor ease pain; it makes no increase of merit in the person; it creates envy; it hastens misfortune. But what madness must it be to run in debt for superfluities! Think what you do when you run in debt: you give to another power over your liberty. Poor Richard.

Elder Henry W. Naisbitt, under the heading. "Bread and Bread," re- plies pertinently to a writer in "Beerhom's Corn Trade List" who says that he saw in Bristol, specimens of the first cargo of Utah wheat ever brought to England; the shipment consisted of 13,000 quarters or 104,000 bushels, and combined the qualities of the California and East- ern States wheat, although quite unlike either; nevertheless it was counted a very useful wheat by Messrs. Humphries and Bobbit, who own the great roller mills in Bristol, and were partial purchasers of this special cargo. Elder Naisbitt remarks, in the Millennial Star, that in regard to this being the first cargo of Utah wheat ever imported into England, the writer is in error, for ever since Utah was connected with the west- ern coast, shipments have been made direct to London at least, via San Francisco, Septimus Sears, Esq., having many years ago come over here [England] as the agent of the Z. C. M. I. to dispose of immense quantities of wheat from that inland State. We think it is somewhat curious to observe that the people of that city of determined opposition (Bristol) should eat the "bread that perisheth," raised by a misunderstood and misrepresented people, and yet reject "the bread of life" presented gratis by its authorized agents, and ignorantly asking, as of old, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
