Kane had become effective. Of the rare abilities, staunch character, and the master-mind of Governor Young, nothing need be said in this sketch. They are known to all, and his genius is apparent in every city and village of our prosperous commonwealth. President Young died in Salt Lake City on August 29, 1877, beloved by the whole people whose religious as well as temporal leader and guide he had been for thirty-three years.

TIME AND ETERNITY.

What is Time? But a moment, the present, the now; It is ours when we have it, when past 'tis no more, It belongs to Eternities gone, while we wait, For the next one which comes from Eternity's shore.

Eternity! What? No beginning, no end! The universe swings in its infinite sweep; 'Tis the day of the Gods, unbroken, intact, No finite can grasp it, or climb up its steep. H. W. Naisbitt.
