THE MORMON NUISANCE.

The newspapers, in dearh of decent mat
ter, are printing what is scandalously called
sermon, and which is nothing better than ramb
ling outpouring from that exhaustess fountain
of dawdry and blasphemy, Brigham Young
This Bueteard of Salt Lake city, who has not
the grace TO reduce himself to christian al
lowance by slaughtering thiry-nine Of his forty
wives, has been lecturlng his own harem, and
those of his brethren in polygamous niquity
We are enabled to make tolerable conjecture,
from this dirty diatyibe, of the patriarchal fe-
licity which has resulted from this reproduc-
tion in the West of Eastern institutions. We
find, just as we expected to find, that these many
wives Of one husband are dragging out dreary
existence, uncheered by domestic pleasure, un-
Illuminated by hope, and unsupported by love
Of offspring If we may believe Mr.. Brigham
Young, the females Of Utah are sunk into a
thrice sadden indifference, relieved only by
flashes of irrepressibe rage, and the outbreaks
of inevitable jealousy. The execrable fellow
also points out TO us another most natural feat
ure of his abominabe system. We learn from
him, that it is ''the first wife, who suffers most
terribly from the mockery of marriage which
suIIouhus nef' iou'B auuiiis tndt these pooI
women are daily saying, 81 have not seen a
happy day since my husband took his second
wife" The despairing sadness of this confess
sion might move a savage of ordinary instincts
to something like tenderness and pity; but the
rude wretch who had determined, by the aid oil
blasphemy and ianaticism, to degrade woman lo
a mere animal, only laughs, with an intense
brutality, at the appeal He bawls to his sui
tans from his pulpit to depart, il they are moi
eonlented. They are at liberty to go, and he
will seek for fresh collection of paramours
He wants to do something to rid himself of the
winners! But where are these Hagars to go
The desert stretches between them and civil
zation, between the hell of that Mormon ham
let and homes made blessed by christianity and
civilization. Perforce they must remain in Utai

OCCUPATION. glorious thing is oc-
cupation for the human heart Those who
work hard seldom yield themselves up TO fan
cied oil real sorrow. When grief sits down,
folds its hands, and mournfully feeds upon its
tears, weaving the dim shadows, that little
exerton might sweep away, into funeral pail,
the strong spirit is shorn Of its might and sor-
row becomes our master. When troubles flow
upon you, dark and heavy, toll not with the
torrent; rather seek, by occppa,ion-to divert
the dark waters that threaten TO overwhelm you
in thousand channels, which the duties of life
always present. Before you dream of IT, those
waters will fertilize the present, and give birth
to fresh flowers that may brighten the future
flowers that will become pure and holy in The
sunshine which penerates 10 the path of duty,
in spite of every obstacle. Grief, after all is
but selfish feeling and most selfish is The
man who Yields himself to the indulgence of
any passion which brings no joy to his fellow
men.

INDUSTRIOUS BLAST. AT Quarryville, Conn,
on the Bolton Mountains, on Friday, the work
men threw out mass of rock 25 feet deep and
25 feet wide, by so feet long. AT least 5000
tons of rock were removed, 1000 tons being
thrown from Is to 100 rods distant. One solid
mass, weighing Is tons, was thrown distance
of 80 rods; fences in the vicinity were destroy
ed, and the tops OF trees taken of as clean as if
done by the axe. The tops Of the apple trees
in an orchard near by weies taken completely
off, presenting desoate appearance. The
public road which runs at the foot of the hill
was completely filled ; many Of the larger rocks
requiring TO be blasted before removal. The
operators found fssure in The ledge, and work
ed their way down 30 feet. put in 1900 pounds
of powder, connected a fuse, filled up the open
ing, fired the fuse and got out of the way.

TO enquire aflef the fate of our fellow officers,

WISHING.-BY ].

WISHING j. q. SAKE.
OF all the amusements of the mind.
From logic down to fishing,
There is not one that you can find
So very cheap as "wishing"
A very choice diversion too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Peryert it and abuse it.
| wish-a common wish indeed
My purse was somewhat mtter,
That might cheer the child Of need,
And not my pride to fatter,
That might make oppression reel
As only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod Of steel
As only gold can break it.
l wish-that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
And scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean.
l wish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
wish the good were not so few,
| wish the bad were fewer;
wish that persons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching,
l wish that practicing was not
So very different from preaching.
l wish--that modern worth might be
Apprised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence were free
From treachcry and SANDER;
I wish that n,an tharo vo,pc ,y.,,lJ mini
That women ne'er were rovers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.
| wish-in fne--that joy and mirth,
And every good ideal,
May come erewhle throughout the earth,
And be the glorious real.
Till God shall every creature bless,
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing.

CT Mrs. Murray, an English woman, who
visited the United States in 1913, pays the fol-
lowing tribute TO the pre.eminence of three dis
tingushed American ladies. She says: Il

augura,ed Presidents. | admire the Presidents

ladies who have shared the honors of the presl-
dency; and truly among The queens not one
could compare with the regal grace of Mrs.
Madison, the feminine, distinguished personnel
of Mrs. Polk, and the intelligent, lady-like de-
meanor of Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Polk, were il

acterizes Queen Victoria, would be very hand
some woman. Her hair is very black, and her
the Spanish danes. These American ladies
are highly cultivated and perfectly accomplish
ed, and praclised in the most delicate and refn-
ed usages Of distinguished society. Mrs. Polk
is very well read, and has much talent for con
versalion; she is highly popular; her recep-
tion OF all parties is that OF kind hostess and
accomplished genllewoman. She has excellent
taste in dress, and both in the morning and the
evening, preserves the subdued though elegant
costume which characterzes the lady She is
ready at reply, and preserves her position ad-
mirably. AT levee, a gentleman remarked,
