Notwithstanding the vaunted refining influences of towns, purity of all kinds pure hearts, pure streams, pure snow must here be exposed to terrible trials. City Creek, coming from its high glacial fountains, enters the streets of this Mormon Zion pure as an angel, but how does it leave it? Even roses and lilies in gardens most loved are tainted with a thousand impurities as soon as they unfold.
Reason and Revelation may point to rich issues that unfold from its very darkness; yet all these are no more to your bodily sense, and no more to your enlightened hope, than those foreshadowings of peace which rest like a halo on the spirit of the child as he prays in guileless tones OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN!

His voice reached to the farthest corners of the crowd, as he reminded them what slavery really meant.
Nevertheless be it remarked, that even a Russian steppe has tumult and gold ornaments; also many a scene that looks desert and rock-bound from the distance, will unfold itself, when visited, into rare valleys. Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger-posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man?
"Alice," he commenced, "I wish to make a confidant of you;" and he proceeded to unfold to her, at some length, his ambitious projects for his son, and concluded by giving her to understand, pretty distinctly, that he wished his son to select a wealthy bride, and that any other one would never be received by him as his daughter.
She regarded him as capable of plunging her into an affair quite the reverse of what she felt herself in a condition to undertake. "I should like to know a little more," she pursued, making a move to unfold the slip he had given her. But he stopped her with a gesture. "Read it in your limousine," said he.
