The effect of the plurality system lie most severely ie"
by The first or real Wife In Utah. she seldom live out
hall her days. In families where poygamy has not oeen
introduced she is the victim of constant apprehension
ard fear The expression Of her countenance even tells
,le story of her suferings She has sal, downeast
COMPLAINING look; is often the victim of premature old
age and many sink into early grave under an n'oier
| orabe weight of anlicon The husband, upon setting
up harem, always becomes mes leciful OF his wife,
and in most abuses her. All union OF affection and
interest destroyed. The wife has no longer motive TO
labor and economise for the family when she finds one or
more inders TO share the benefits Of her exegtons The
rivals for similar reason feel interest anl make
effort The wife hates them for interfering with her COM
forts and esrangDg her husband they in tarn, hate the
wife and each other and the children Of each other The
husband hates the wife on whose affections he has tram
pied he hates the rivals of whom he tires when resh one
one ntroduced and the children hate eae other bitter
y band of young tger-css IL is hate and strife, and
rechedness through the whole family circle The OBJ
servaon of Mr. Ferris in regard to the practical effect of
pol, gamy thus confirms the theoretical conclusion to
the evils. which such system of female slavery is
adapted 10 produce.
Hsvoume also contains succnc history OF the and
progress of Mormonism with incidental notices OF other
social features, in addition to that just considered. The
numerous pictorial illustrations with which il is embel
lished arc appropriate and valuable.
