4 SAD PICTURE OF TIE MORMoNs.-A corrcspOn.
dent of the New York Tribune who recently con.
versed with intelligent gentleman from Utah,
says that he gave horrible account of the moral
and social condition of the Mormons with whom he
spent some months. He left them wallowing deeper
and deeper in the slough of filthy sensuality with
certainty of going from bad to till the whole
fabric of mposturc is exploded by the miseries it
creates and ditfuses.-He says the women nearly
all anxious to fly from the horrible den especially
those who have been {" scaled" as the "spiritual
wives" of the scoundrey hypocritcs who propagate
and uphold thir n,onstrous deluson. Nearly all the
leaders have from three women each up to Brigham
Youngs seventy, some of whom make poor living
by washing the clothes of the United States soldiers
Hundreds Of these deceived, abused women Sc.
cretly attempt to beg the privilege of coming away
with the troops and trains passing, from time to time
through coming from Salt Lake city, but this can
not be allowea Nearly all would get away fthey
could Such pictures of distress and despair as are
presented by many of these deceived and abused
women can be found nowhere else than in Utah.
Hundreds of them never heard nor dreamed of the
"spiritual wife" system until it burst upon their
amazed vision on their arrival at Salt Lake. And
such mixture of profanity and blasphemy, nom
sense inrudent assumption and buffoonery, is
contained in their sermons and other religious
cises cannot be paralleled in The world. Gentle'

A DEVOTED WIFE-Wc have the following account
of singular instance Of conjugal affection and fem
mime strength and endurance from ALI English
paper:
''An old couple in Newcastle became reduced to
want and it was necessary that the husband, who
suffered extremely from confirmed rheumatism,
should be removed to charitable institution.
He besought removal to Haverton Hi' and his wife
had promised it. The journey was a long and ex-
pensive one, and not only so, but by the usual
veyance, such must have caused the patient much
additional suffering. The brave and affcctionate heart
of the wife stung to noble resolution to satisfy
the desire of her husband in the face of these
difficulties She undertook to carry him on her back
the whole way from Newcastle to Haverton, by the
highway route-a distance # SO miles! This she
undertook and performed and the couple arrived
safely at the end of their journey within IA hours
from the time of their starting temporary rest at
Dunham having been the only intermission the faith.
