Mr.. BUCHANAN ON PoLYGAMY.-
Major Jack Downing thus relates con-
versation he had with Mr.. Buchanan on
Utah
"Old Buck is good deal riled with
Brigham Young, who, with his one hun
dred wives, has created a rebellion
when the old Buck hasn't one that he
ca n call his own. If one created re-
bellion in the Garden of Eden when
she had a man and ought to bin satisfi-
ed, it isn't wonderful that one hundred
should do the ike in Utah, having only
one man among 'em all Says /,
Bucky, did you ever see union and har-
mony where there's hundred wimen
and but one man-it's agin all mater to
expect it-and the only way to bring
matters to good starting point, is 70 see
each woman has her man. Yes, but,
said old Buck, then every man would
be obleeg'd to hev his woman. Yes,
sartin, seq /. Well, then, SEE lie, thev't
blame me for the whole Of this trouble.
and say I'd set EN- a bad example,
That's so, SEE l, and since you Gruv so
many women to take up with enc man
bekase you refused to take you sheer.
it's your duty to make 'em live eacea-

HoME.-Ohl what a heaven there is
in home when the deepening shadows
gather the family together, if each
bring an offering, however simple, for
the alter of Love. The interchange OF
kind words and offices, will make beau
tiful the pathway whose terminus is
down in the cold and dark tomb, and
neglect makes the way to the bridal
chamber difficult and steep. Why, why
is the heart so perverse, and the eyes Sc
blind to the secret of all happiness?-

How RAIN IS FoRMED.-To under
stand the philosophy of this phenomena,
essential to the very existence of plants
and animals, a few facts derived from
observation and long train of expert
ments must be remembered. Were the
atmosphere everywhere at all times, at
a uniform temperature, we should never
have rain, hail, or snow. The water
absorbed by it in evaporation from the
sea and the earths surface would de-
scend in an imperceptible vapor, or
cease to be absorbed by the air when it
was once fully saturated. The absorb
ing power of the atmosphere, and con-
sequently its capability to retain humid
ity, is proportionably greater in warm
than in cold air The air near the sur
face of the earth is warmer than it is in
the region of the clouds. The higher
we ascend from the earth the colder we
find the atmosphere. Hence the per-
petual snow on very high mountaing in
the hottest climates. Now, when from
continued evaporation the air is highly
saturated with vapor-though it be in
visible-if its temperature is suddenly
reduced by cold currents descending
from above or rushing from higher to
lower latitude, its capacity to retain
moisture is diminished. clouds are form
ed, and the result is rain. Air condens-
es as it cools, and like sponge filled
with water and compressed, pours out
the water which its diminished capacity
cannot hold. How singular, yet how
simple is such an admirable arrange
ment for watering the earth.-Sciensyfc

LIFE BY DEATH.-An oak tree for
two hundred years grows solitary. II
is bitterly handled by frosts; it is wres-
tied with by ambitious winds, determin-
ed to give it a downfall; it holds fast
and grows, seemingly alone. What is
the use of all this sturdiness, this
strength, to itself Why am I to stand
here of no use My roots are anchored
in riffs of rocks. No herds can lie

ELDER FAwsIL ON THE "SPEERITs."
Ethan Spike of Horribly, Me-, has
written letter to the Portland Trans
cript, describing the doings of the Elder
in Horribly. We do not see how any
one can resist the Elders logic:
Glider Phine-as Fawsi1 prsached
agin it last Sabberday, 1t was a great
aoutbust Of the Elders, an gin comfort
to many. l do suppose that Elder Faw-
sill, when he's fairly walked tip, is abaout
as tough a customer as the devil ever
wrasled with. don't raaly spose he'd
be bit more afeerd of Belzebub, or
even the Old Boy himself, than I should
be of a yearlin coalt. You orter hear
him talk of the devil-jest as easy and
famillyer as though he knew he'd got
the critter under his thumb, and was
sartin he had holt OF him whar the hair
was short. But l was goin to say suthin
of this last sarmint of hisn.
The Elder laid daoun sewing pints,
and proved EN- all.
Fust. Speertooalism is the works of
Satin.
Second. It's the tow jints, worked by
odd force and vitalized super carbonick
fluid.
Third. (T'his pint I didn't git holt of
egzactly, he not speakin very legibly-
but it was ither Mesmerism or Mormon
ism, but it don't matter much, as which
it was, he proved it.)
Fourth. Its Annymill maguitudes.
Fifth. This pint, nyther, l can't give
verbunkum but it was some kind of a
bug-saounded suthin like Jewn-bug.)
Sixth. Eff it war speerits, they war
evil speerits.
Seventh. Thar is no speerits, no how.
This discourse was ehock full of
Scripter bearin on several pints, and
hysterical facks-for he's just as larned
as he can be, an 1 do actooally bleve,
eff by accident, Che wouldn't do it noin-
ly,) he should get any more into him,
he'd bust right up! Why, he'd handle
them great Greek and Latin words in
SIGH way that nobody can understand,
just as easy as l kin say caow, or later,
or any other simple household words.
He said this sort of thing was nothin
new to him. Alluded to the Witch of
Endor, an the hogs which got the devil
into them. AT this pint the Elder went
off on target about pork-said it was
pis 'n--that eff the devil ever got aout of
the pesky hogs he'd got in agin naow,
in the shape of whiskey sweetened with
struck-mine. He then took up the
meejums, and the way he made their
feathers fly is solum warnin to all
wrappers. Said thar want a second
hand chaw of terbacker's difference
atween EN- an that ere Simeon Magog
spoken of in Scripter. Then he struck
aout into abaout the all-mightiest pea
roar rashun ever heern in this subloona-
ny spear. He actooally seemed to take
the devil right up by the tail. and shake
him like a cat would mice. l beant
much of poick an don't run much to
imagination, butt swan to mani
eenjest thought 1 could hear the old
critter boiler, as the Elder whanged and
cuffed him about. Eff l war in his place,
I'd think twice about it afore I'd go
smellin rsound agin within the Elders
reach"

His attendants answered in the mega

While he yet spake, the axe was hewing
at its base. 1t died in sadness, saving
as it fell-"Many ages for nothing have
/ lived"
The axe completed its work. By
and by the trunk and root form the
knees of a stately ship, bearing the
country's flag around the world; other
parts form rib and keel of merchant
men; and having defed the mountain
storms, it now equally resists the thun-
der of the waves, and the murky threat
of scowling hurricanes. Other parts
are laid into floors, or wrought into
wainscoting, or carved for frames of no.

that embosom the weakness of age
Thus the tree in dying, came not to its
end, but to its beginning, of life. 1t
voyaged the world. 1t grew to posts of
temples and dwellings,.
1t held upon its surface the soft feet
of children, and lettering, frail patri-
archs. 1t rocked in the cradle and
swayed the crippled limbs of age by the
chimney corner, and heard secure within
the roar of those old unwearied tenn
pests that once surged about its noun
tain life. Thus, after its growth, its
long uselessness, its cruel prostration, it
became universally useful, and did by
its death, what it could never do by its
life. For SO long as it was tree, and
belonged to itself, it was solitary and
useless. But when it gave up its own
life, and became related to others, then
its true life began.-Henry w Beecher.

A Runaway Marriage.

The Bride lForth $3.50, 000--A marriage
tool; place in Grace church ON Monday last
that has excited no little interest in fashion,
able circles and caused quite tluttering IL
meng certain wealthy families 1t seems
the bride is an heircss, and worth in her
own right S25e, 000 She was the inmate
of one of our most exclusive female semina-
ries, and is but fourteen years and eight
months old. Her wealth and the high posi-
ton of her family were of course known to
her associates, aud her acquaintance was
consequently courted. Among the gentle
men she was introduced to was IL well-known
hobitae of Fifth avenue saloons, but who
had reached the mature age of thirty-one
years. The acquaintance ripeued into init
macy, and eventually the parties We're en-
sagel to be married. but as the parents
night interpose an objection it was arrang-
ed that it should take place unknown to
them or any Of the young lady's friends. 1t
was agreed that the happy event should
come off last Saturday est Valentines day.
aud the church was opened the minister
ready, and IA few spectators bad also assem-
bled TO witness the marriage ceremony,
which was announced for / a. NJ. But
noon came and went. and no bride made her
appearance aud the church WAS closed 1t
seems that the principal Of the seminary in
which the Young lady was a pupil got wind
that something unusual was on the tapts
and she locked the would-be bride in her
room. AMI 50 prevented the falfllment of
her engagement But '.loye laughs at lock-
smiths, ami by some means Mr.. k--was
notified OF the situation OF affairs, and ar
ranged matters in such a manner that the
young lady escaped from sasfeaiaace, and
the couple were duly married in one Of our
most fashionable uptown churches on the 18th
inst. The bride and bridegroom ipmedi-
ately started for Washington, and intend to
spend the honeymoon on a southern tour
This pleasant little affair has created quite
an excitement among the young ladies' in
upper toDdam, ana is to them far more ip-
teresting than the Bond street tragedy. ~
