THE EntftwrioN of Itnon.—Sonte - parents
'are strict. to require daily physical .exercise
of their . children before and after school, in
the way of labor. Tollus course some are
prompted by necessity, and oth'ers by prin
ciple. Their children are required each day
to perform a given amount of work. , This
is, in particular, true Of farmers, and of oth
ers in rural districts: - And if . the labor 'be
a a
appropriate in kind and mount,' the _value
of the practice cannot be overestimated.—.
Every child should be carefully - practiced in
sOme needful industrial employment. :No
other education is more important. Work
is the great law to which God and nature
bind us. As a preventive of evil, and a pro
ducer of good; there is nothing in all the
world - like industrY; like hard work, Our
children ',better be-feared in ignorance of
books than in ignerance . of all kinds of pro
' dnetive industry. This truth applies to the
children of, the wealthy, as well as to all oth..
ers; for all men and women nch;
who do netl.ty their o - Wri efierts4arn their

But seriouly, do not the highest and dear

Canon toward the Ptah emigrant road showed
that a wagon road. might be opened between -

The navigable- Parts of the river runs nearly '
North and South. Year the Olf the country
is that and unbroken; but further north-brok

of volcanic origin.
The canons formed by the.passage 61 the
river through the. mountains are wonderfully
wild and grand. Above the Black Canon is
a most sterile and barren region, With no
trace of vegetation for miles. This is a vast
table laid, hundreds of miles in breadth, ex-
tending east to the Sierra Madre, and . .00rth
into Utah', rising into immense plateaus like •
successive steps, the
. most elevated being
7000 to ,5000, feet above the level of sea.
This sterile and rocky surface opposed insur

direction, and the want'of water rendered
plorations difficult.

and pine forests reliev s ed the barrenness, but

Indiiins along the lower pert .of the river are
- not very numerous, but idle and inquisitive.:
The MohaFe tribe is the most numerous.—
They are So sythmetrical and stalwart, that • •
they are considered, , plivtsically, the 'finest
