Selett MlistelIang,
Wait for the Wagon.

Some folks are born with silver spoons
Between their teeth" they say;
The figure goes to show that some
Are blessed in every way.
The lucky man, by turn of trade,
Piles up the golden dust,
While others toll from morn till night,
And dine upon a crust.
Dame Fortune, with her prancng steeds,
Is sought on every side;
SO we're waiting for the wagon,
To see who'll take ride.
A man may be on foot to-day,
And ride in pomp tomorrow
While he who owned the carriage last
A single dime can't borrow.
The world COOS round. we know right well
And many times we see
A man upset, sO.that his heels
Are where his head should be;
Another turn, his feet come down,
His friends and wealth allied
So we're waiting for the wagon,
To see who'll take ride.
But then, ycu know. it matters not
How much we sing or talk;
We cannot get the whole to ride,
FO: some are bound TO DaLk.
Some folks are surely bound TO lose,
And some are bound to win;
Some must be counted out, and then
Some others counted in.

Beastialities of Mormonism,

An English clergyman, who left England to
join the Mormons, returned to London in Sep.
tember last He has just published volume,
giving his opinion of the saints found in the
vicinity of the Great Salt Lake. We quote:
"One of the most repulsve features of Nor
monlsIn is the proxy system. This is SO destruc.
tive of every geod and honest feeling, that many
staunch Mormonltes reject it altogether.
heard one of the oldest disciple say that moth.
ing on earth would ever persuade him to believe
in it, and that if he had dog who believed it.,
he would shoot him. Nor will any reader be
surprised when he knows what it is. | will en-
deavor to explain it briefly. When a married
man is called by Conference to foreign mis-.
sion, he has privilege, as they call it, before
leaving home, Of choosing some one to take the
oversight of his cattle, goods, aud whatever he
may possess; to provide for and overlook the
family and to become the pro tempOre husband
of the wife,
The ostenslbIe reason for this arrangement
is to prevent the husband from suffering any
loss during his absence on missionary labors,
since the greatness of his future kingdom "
depends on the number of children he has here
To carry out this idea, the wife is handed over
TO deputy husband, who maintains his position
IN the family till the husband return. Base and
immoral as this theory may be, it is strongly
advocated by the leading men at the Great Salt
Lake. We again quote the returned clergy
man!
But there is something more awful and
paralyzing than all | have yet narrated.
mean the fearful sin of incest, which is so inti-
mately and closely connected with polygamy.
l could partlcularize instances where mother
and daughter are married to the same man, and
live with him as his wives; others, where bro
ther and sister are man and wife; and so on
Brigham Young, speaking once upon this SUBJ
Ject IN the tabernacle, said that he hoped the
day was not far distant when these principles
would be more fully taught and acted upon, and
that children would be brought up TO regard
each other as future partners, for that thus the
family would become more compact"
AS "a case in point" we would mention that
some fifteen months since there was a man at
Liverpool, who held the office of counsellor to
the British Presidency, who, aided by the au-
thorlties there and the emigration fund, per-
suaded family-the father, mother and three
daughters, Cthe youngest in her tecns)-ts emf
gra to ZOn. They had been highly respec-
table family, and their character irreproacha-
bic. On arriving at their destination, the mis-
slonary demanded the three daughters in mar
rage, and the pareuts gave a most reluctant
consent. This man of God-as he styled him
sel-was married by Brigham to these three on
the same day and took them together to his
mouse, where he had young wife already and
which house consisted of but one room for the
accommodation of them all. In about u year
one brought forth daughter and another son.
This caused him great rejoicing, as he said the
sons would in time marry the daughters, and
thus inalienably become the foundation of his
kingdom.

1t is certainly quite astonishing to see what

BREAD OUT WEsT-If our We tern friends

all the yellow people, especially the yellow
children, who are supposed to be turned yellow

take to suppose,-that the yellow countenances
OF the West come from bile,-When it is only
the enormous quantities OF pearlash eaten in the
bread that is reflected through the skin.
Bread is the staff of lfe,-it is aid,-and so
il is,-but it is the staff of death, too, in this

sOneus pedrlash for bread that they die of it
