POlygamy in Utah-POpuiar Sovereign
ty-COncubinaSe III Slavery.

A Saint, writing from Salt Lake City to
Gentle dwelling in iniquity and single
blessedness in Chicago thus describes his
polygamic estate and plural happiness
But about the practical operation of po-
lygamy, as you call it. That is what you
most probably want to know, and l shall
enlighten you from my observation and eX
perence.
When I came to Descret there were not
many who were in the enjoyment of more
than one wife, and many or most of the
new corners were opposed to it. But as
they saw how beautifully and harmoniously
those families lived where there were two
or more wives, their prejudice gradually
gave way, and among no class was the
change more apparent than the women. $500
AT the present time, if vote were taken
upon the subject, venture to say that uine
out of every ten women who have lived here
two years, could sustain our present social
system in this particular. They are more
for it than the men, for upon many Of the
latter it entails heavy burdens though the
truth is, our wives in Deseret make no pre-
tensions to being fine ladies, their highest
ambition being to help their husbands, and
their poor brothers and sisters in the Lords
Church. There are very few men here who
have more than five wives, and large part
but one, while some have none. For my
self / have three, Sarah Ann, your cousin,
whom married in York State, has the lar
gest share of my affections, and takes prec-

Two years ago married Miss S., formerly
of Ohio, and she has charge Of the educa-
ton of the children and attending to the
clothing. My other, which l took three
months ago, is from near Hamburg, Ger

Elizabeth, the name Of my second wife, aud
l say it without righteousness or improperly,
is decidedly handsome Her person is of
good size, very round, full chest, bright flax

into the duties of her new situation with
wonderful alacrity, is very happy, as is also
Sarah and Elizabeth. There is none of that

"ThrOugh Darkness unto Light.''
BY JAN L G AY

BY JANE GAY
With eyes lift meekly, and with hands
Folded on her breast she stands,
While Deaths valley breezes blow
Colby On her robes of snow
Unseen Angels by her side
Through the misty shadows glide;
They will never lei her stray
In the dark and silent way!
Late, with earthly blossoms laden
Walked she forth loving maiden,
With light step. and radiant men.
Ger the summer fields of green
But too soon Loves sun was shaded;
Then her LIES sweet roses faded,
And her footsteps faint and slow
Fell where ripping fountains flow.
Happy youth in Pa raCisc
Marked the sadness ia her eyes,
And to Christ they humbly prayed
There to bring The sanity maid.
"Let her come, the Savior said.
bid the Angel of the Dead
Touch her lightly with his wanda
And leau her with tender hand"
Soft on earth then closed her eyes
As a lamb in spring time dies
And Deaths shadowy evening way,
Walks she now without dismav.
