Old Folks Concert.

j. NJ. KELLOGG

-
The attendance at the Old Folks Con-
cert on Tuesday evening, was iHtmense
The Baptist Church, the largest House of
Worship in the place, was crowded to its
utmost capacity. The evening was beau
tiful, and everything went off in the most
happy manner.
The venerable singers were mostly wo-
men; and it was sight to strike one
with reverential awe, to see so many aged
women, with their neat white caps on, all
sitting before us with quiet simplicity
and modcsty. 1t instinctively sent our
thoughts back to the days of our mothers
and grand mothers. with all the loves and
joys connected with the memory thereof
Deacon WILLIAM SEYMOUR led the
CHOIR of aged singers in style exceed
ingly creditable. lie introduced an in
strument new to many of the juvenile
portion of the audience, Pitch Pipe, an
instrument which he said was sixty years
old, and which was used in those days to
give the pitch or sound in singing.
Before singing commenced, Rev. Mr..
Wcstover, in some very happy remarks,
requested that no manifestations of APP
plause be made.
After the singing closed, Rev. +. W.
HATCH, himself quite aged, made some
exceedingly pointed and appropriate re-
marks upon the performance and the oc-
caSion.
The singing itself was excellent. We
are not connoisSeur in this matter; but
the music was sweet, and ak the better
for the many tremulous, broken voices
that made it, for our grandmother's sing
ing was before us, with all its melody.
Altogether, the affair passed off to the
satisfaction of all concerned 1t was a
happy and soul-thrilling time.
The ceremonies were opened by prayer
by the Rev. STEBBINs, and closed by
prayer by the Rev. HuTcHINs.-D.

dence Journal tells the following:
John Austin, respectable farmeI
of Cumberland, was relieved Of hun
dred dollars, in this city, on Saturday
last, in the following manner: He was
standing On the bridge, in the afternoon,
whe- two young men walked close past
aim In earnest conversation. One OBJ
served to the other, as they passed, IN
a tone loud enough for Mr.. Austin to
hear, you know want the oxen, but
can't buy them.' In few minutes they
returned, and continued the converse
ton near where Mr.. Austin was stand
ing. Directly, one of them came up to
Mr.. a. and asked him to step aside
He then told him that his friend had a
pair of cattle which he wanted to buy,
but that he dared not make the purchase
himself, as his father had quarrelled
with his friend. He told Mr.. A. that
he would give him FIVE dollars if he
would buy them for him. Mr.. A. said
he had no money, but would try to bor-
row it, and accordingly went to Mr..
Pierce's shop and borrowed hundred
dollars. Mr.. Austin and the two young
men then walked over to the foot Of
College street, where the pretended
purchaser handed Mr.. A. twenty dol
lars, which together with the hundred
he had borrowed, Mr.. A. passed over
to the third party, as the price of the
oxen. 1t was then arranged that the
seller and Mr.. Austin should go for the
oxen, while the purchaser waited in
College street. They started, but had
not proceeded far down South Maid
street. when the young man stopped and
told Mr.. A. he had forgot whether bis
friend wanted the spotted oxen or the
red ones, and asked him to go back as
quick as he could and ascertain. Mr..
Austin went back to College street, but
the purchaser had vamosed. At the
last accounts he had not seen either of
the parties. We understand that Mr..
Austin thinks it must have been the
spotted oxen his friend wanted.

wisdom to bear with patience and re-
signation the trials they were called to

as to prepare them to enjoy his society

ties, and powers in the celestial world
What number of widows brother
Willard left to mourn him, the editor and
the prayer alike omit to mention; but
doubtless SO good man had an ample
allowance of female partners.
Under the head of Hints to Young
Men, a daughter of Israel signing
herself Letitia Jane Lockheart, talks to
the young male Mormons in sharp sty lie
for their drinking, chewing. smoking,
and loafng habits. from which it may
be inferred that human nature is much
the same in the Happy City as else
where. The conclusion of Letitia's let
ter is noticeable as showing that those
men are considered by the fair sex to be
the best and most virtuous who have
the largest number of wives. She
says:
4 wish to answer the many interroga-
tons propounded to me and my female
associates by our friends. Why is it
that Miss B. has been married to Mr..
A, when know that she might have
been wed to young Mr.. c., who never
has had wife? Twill give some rea-
sons for such preference.
"Those men you see surrounded with |
number of good and faithful wives
are men that act as magnets; their vir-
tues preponderate in that degree that
calls them in to notice, and when once
known are ever remembered.
Such men 1 hope will continue to be
rewarded by the daughters of Zion; and
let princes apparent follow the course of Z
wise men, and l will prophecy that they
shall in like manner be repaid
From this it would seem that the idle,
dissolute young men of the Mormon /
city stand no chance of getting more
than one wife, and sometimes not even
hat. This view of the case was passed ]
over in the late debate upon polygamy
