rlvELY.-The Turkish. Sultan is not mar
ried, aud is not allowed to marry, les,
a. 1t is said, Turkish democratic equn'
ity below the Sultan, may be destroyed.
The Koran allows common man four
wives, if he can support them, but the
Sultan is allowed in lieu of these thirty
ladies and a greater number Of waiting
women. Sometimes one, by the Sui
tan's caprice. becomes Sultana, or sole
fayorite. Georgians. Mslays and Abys-
sinians compose the harem Of the Turk
ish Sultan at this time. Such is the
royal household Of that prince, and such
the systematic. sensual arrangements of
his menage and that Of the Turkish peo-
pie. Contempt of woman is the basis
of Turkish society, and it's consequences
are fatal to the progress of Turkey and
the improvement and happiness of the
Turkish people. The revilers Of the
Mormons who in one breath condemn
their polygamy and laud the social fabric
of tho Turkish empire, lose sight of facts
in their enthusiastic admiration OF ,
foreign broil.

The mothers heart is dreaming,
And the tears are falling fast,
A she stands in Mem'ry's hall,
Before the pictured past.
she hseds not that sweet voices
Through the open easement glide
Her heart is wildly weeping
For the little boy that died.
She stands before that picture,
In the glowing sunset light,
And feasts upon Its beauty,
So gentle, pure and bright.
And her soul goes forth TO meet
The loved spirit BY her side,
For it, low voice ID whispering

But the sunlight now Is fed,
And the real comes to view,
And she sees no more in dreams
The clear deep eye Of blue.
But the vision now 10 changed,
Where the dead in Christ abide,
And amid the blood-washed thropg

With tears Of deep repentance,
"Oh, Father! forgive" she cried,

And spread Its fragrance DER shady bower.
And many aglinpid dew-drop, pure and bright,
Was glistning In the bursting flower.
q bloomed awhile. but ere its roseate tints
Were fully limned, . scorching, sunny ray,
Too rudely shone upon the bsauteous gem,
And soon il drooped-its freshness fled away
It, petals clossd-the leaves began to fall,
And, one by one, its gorgeous tints to fade,
Til, ct the dcwy eve, its fragrance gone,
A wreck it lay, within the vsrnal shade.
Thus earthly hopes decay;
Their visions pass away,
Like gath'ring mists before the sun,
That vanish ere the day is done!
Thus fades life's fitfnl CLEAN;
