larions in which married men aud girls
stand to each other
ELSEWHERE the attentions of the for

. girl knows that her partner may at
any moment be her lover and her sutton,
though his wife is dancing in the gis-o
us; and many Irritation is buoyeo up
by the circumstance Men, too, Of the
brighter sort, lovo to use their position,
and carry on canvass that would caps;ze
. nonogamist craft. Second and third
wives take little heed Of the wooing; but
you may now aud then see a woman CLAN
cling too eagerly around, and from. her
half concealed jealousy and hatrea, and
fear prodofnidating over the other two,
you may guess what you viii be told, that
she is m only wife; other women if they
see her, W;ll como ami tell her she is no
Mormon to look so after her hucband,
and laugh ri Ter foolish expectation Of
keeping an entire husband to herself
That girl now evidently knows that
the VIE is watching her, and coquets all
the more agerly with the husband; per-
haps she may refuse him after all, per
haps find herself unable if she wishes;
but they are not the only compile followed
by eyes struggling 10 see, and yet not
to believe. They tell me F-yonder
loves his wife beyond the wont ofhus5ands
in is part Of the world, and win not
marry another, so my partner herself
wife, though not in the first lustrum of
wives, tells me, and intimates her opinion
that F and his wife are both fools, to
set themselves against he fashion of the
place. But F---suroy is flirting with
Kate Copeland pretty strongly at this

Gothic Territory Of Utah, Mr.. Chand-
less did not form very favorable opin-
ion. Though in some parts the soil is of
exceeding fartility-even as much as eigh-
ty bushels of wheat having been raised
to the acrc--yet''good and bad land arc
very much mixed up-Eot to speak of
VIII Ic8ale desert tracts and It is hard to
find farm-site one-third of which is not
nearly worthless" As not drop of rain
falls from early Summer till long after
haryes: homo, irrigation several times du-
ring tbs season IS absolutely necessary to
keep alive the growing crops. But the
greatest deficiency is that of wood
"Eear Salt Lake City, with the excep-
ton Of q fringe Of cottonwood along
few creeks, there is literally meme in tie
valley, Fuel must be hauled from the
mountaihs-a yearly increasing distance
now from twenty to twenty FIVE miles
oak, pine, cedar and maple are the com
monest, and fetch eight dollars cord
Wood-hau'ing is q regular business, and,
considering that trip for cord occupies
a man and q yoke Of oxen-and they
must be no weakiings-two days, the
price IS not unreasonable: but it is the
severcst item in household expenditure
A family with two stoves constantly burn
ing, v il run very near to three hundred
dollars during the winter. Very unwise-
ly hardly a soul thinks Of laying in stock
before October, when the roads are be-
coming bad: and even then most live
from hand to mouth. For lumber the
white and rel pine are chiefly used; the
! quality is good, though seasoning is out
Of the question, and the abundance of
wa'er-powcr and saw mills at the mouths
Of the canons only Just keeps up a sulfi-
Gent supply"
W cicS2 thia article by copying de-
licious bit Of fancy, in which Mr.. Chand-
less INDUCES the Missouri River
'fhe Missouri is a terrible filIibuster;
lie is always invading somebody's land,
and not merely, i'll defiance of right and
title takes possession, but also carries it
clean away with him, beyond the reach
Of even the tax gatherer. A goolly por-
tion he bears dcwn as an offering to bis
bride the Miss ssippi, whose clear calm
majesty of feature, and gentle womany
current of life, he oyerwhclms with the
swirl Of his imi ',aous and muddy waters.
Blu, if he gives the chqraCt r to the low
er river, she gives the direction, and since
maps and mau will have it so, the name
also; she Is one may say, rich heiress
nobly sprung; he is rich, but has come
from nobody knows where; they we'd
and he takes hes namc, not she takes
his"
