To sweep oppression from the world!
A contemporary, in view of the awful state Of
affairs in Utah, calls on president Buchanan to
send strong man among that polygamous peo-
pie, backed up by strong force. This is a
prudent counsel, certainly. 1t reqnres some
nerve to interfere between man and one wife;
but when man is backed up by forty
loving spouses, the case becomes serious; and
when there are several ''lords Of creation TO
deal with at one and the same time, each hav-
ing better halves "sealed" unto him-from two
up to ffy-the danger becomes complicated.
Our suggestion is, that regiment OF those
Ohio ladies, who demolished the distery, or
of those Michigan women, who turned a rum
seller out of his own grogyery, or Of those Ale
ghany girls, who rode the uugallant schoolmas-
ter on rail, would be the best force reduce the
mormans to modern civilization and the one
wife system. We hope this hint to Mr.. Buch
anan will be sufficient
The elegant Miss Mason, whose father had
made splendid fortune as an enterprising dra7
per and tailor, appeared at magnificent enter
tainment in royal apparel. With that fastiai-
Gus exclusiveness for which the latest corners
into fashionable circles are the most remarka-
BILE, she refused various offers of introduction,
as she did not wish to extend the number of
her acquaintance: "Her friends were few and
very select
The beautiful Miss Taylor, radiant with good
natured smiles and once well acquainted with
Miss Mason when they went to the public school
in William street together, noticed the hauteur
of her ancient friend, who was determined not
to recognise one who would only remind her Of
her former low estate But Miss Taylor, the
rogue, as clever as she was pretty, determined
to bring her up with a short turn, and not sub
NIT TO being snubbed by one whose ancestral
associations were no better than her own.
Watching her chance, when the naughty young
lady was in the midst of her set, Miss Taylor
slowly walked up, and with smiles of winning
sweetness, remarked
Il have been thinking, my dear Miss Mason,
that we ought to exchange Names
"Why, indeed?''
Because my name is Taylor and my father
was a mason, and your name is Mason, but
your father was a tailor"
There was scene then, but there was no
help for it. The little Miss Taylor had the
pleasure of saying very cute thing, which was
soon repeated in the ears of dozen circles, and
the wits wished to see her, but the proud Miss
Mason bit her lip in silence.
Here is rare recipe to ttcook a husband ~
worthy the attention of all maidens. AS good
Mrs. Glass said Of the bare, you must first
catch him. Having done SO, the mode of cook
ing him so as to make a good dish Of him, is as
follows: Many good husbands are spoiled in
the cooking; some women 90 about it as if their
husbands were bladders, and blow them up;
others keep them constantly in hot water, while
others freeze them by conjugal GOODNESS; some
smother them in hatred, contention and vari-
ance; and some keep them in pickle all their
lives.
These women always serve them up with
tongue sauce. Now it cannot be supposed that !
husbands will be tender and good, if managed
in this way; but they are, on the contrary, very
delicious, when managed as follows: Get
large jar of carefuness, (which all good wives
have on hand, place your husband in it, and
set him near the fire of conjugai love, let the
FIRE be pretty hot, but especially let it be clear
above all, let the heat be constant; cover him
with affection, kindness, and subsection; garnish
with modest, becoming familiarity, and the
spice Of pleasantly; and if you add kisses and
other CONTEMPORARIES, let them be accompanied
with sufficient portion of secresy, mixed with
prudence and moderation. We should advise
all good wives to try this recipe, and realize
how admirable dish husband is when prop
erly cooked Id
