Reasons FOR ELopEMENr.-Mr. Joseph w.
Branch, who recently eloped with young lady
from Connecticut, named Grant, and was over
taken in Albany, N. Y, has published the fol-
lowing card, which is decidedly rich and cool as
the temperature of Monday last
About one year ago met Miss G. at party.
I was then living in the town of Wilmington,
Conn. At that time was living with, or recog-
nized as my wife, another woman, to whom
was married five years since. We lived nnhap-
PLY together, and last spring separated, after
which | went to hoard with the father of Miss
Grant for short time, and of course became
better acquainted with her. In short time
went into the iewelry business, and in my
travels called often at her house. 'Tis true
did think Miss G. very fine girl, as still do;
and judge Of my surprise, during one of my
calls, when she came to me and told me that she
had been seduced by bartender from Massa-
chusetts, ard implored me to help her. l did
make the attempt to do SO, with the aid Of an
eminent physician in Providence. He did all
he could, and failed to accomplish anything. |
then told Miss Grant that l knew of but two
steps for her to take-either to go home to her
parents, or to fly with me. She chose the latter.
intended to procure divorce and marry her,
land do now if in my power,) but was prevent.
ed by her brother The rest you know. l
would Just add that when her brother was in
formed of the true state of affairs, he became
my friend.

TIE English people like humbug of all sorts
no less than their American cousins. Here is
an advertisement from leading London pa

which you can win the affections of as many of
This is suitable for either sex; for the old or
young, rich or poor, whether of prepossessing
appearance or otherwise. Address, &c.
Good-isn't it? The idea of being able 'to
win the affections of as many of the opposite
sex as your heart may DESIRE" is certainly
plcasing and would be an invaluable art among
the Mormons in especial; for what's the use of
marrying any number of women, if you can't
command their hearts? Answer us that, o
Brigham Young and buy this English secret

can only account for my present sound health,
from my constant though moderate use of Bgr-
hareT Holland Bitters-having from my youth
suffered, at intervals from Piles, in both forms,
sometimes so severely as to completely PROSTATE
me. l have for several months past, though
subject to loss of sleep, and unusual physical
effort, been entirely free from any symptoms of
this distressing disease; while my general health
is very much improved"
Persons doubling the authenticity of this GER
tifcate, are requested to call upon or communi-
cate with the proprietors. They will take pleas
ure not only in referring them to its author, but
to many others who have used the Holland Bit
ters for the same affection with equal success.

'The East Wind" has often been talked of as
a New England monster, which has its princi-
pal cave in the neighborhood of Boston. But
hear how the 76wn Talk, smart satirical jour
nal of London, discourses of the ogre as found
in that region:
"An easterly windl ugbl the very marrow
freezes, the bones rattle, the breath congeals,
the eyes Jingle at the thought, We all know
what the Winchester schoolboy said to Queen
Elizabeth when she questioned him about the
discipline of the school. Intdndum regina
the proverb is somewhat musty. In like man
ner, may we not consider it as somewhat an ag-
gravation of pain, when we are called upon to
describe that vile eastcrly wind under which
we, and all good citizens have been for days and
weeks suffering"
In conclusion, the writer says:
"The easterly wind is searcher of crinoline,
discomfiter Of bonnet strings, and n ruthless
tormentor of the poor little notified legs of the
| little children. The east wind ought to be
ashamed of itself"
| Amen, say vel

TIFF LADIES OF JAPAN.-Mr Townsend Harris,
the gentleman for whom, when i'll, the Emperor
of Japan recommended the remedy which was
second verse of the first chapter of the first
book of Kings, thus describes the fair sex of
Japan:
AS you take an interest in the "fair sex, you
will expect some description of the beauties of
Japan. The women OF condition never make
visits, Except the mother to a married daugh-
ter;) have assemblages of their dear five
hundred friends" nor do they assemble at the
tea table, to hold high courts of censure on the
manners and morals of their friends. They go
out once or twice in year to visit some cele-
brated temple, but their ordinary devotions are
paid at n shrine within their own houses, or
pretty Mia erected within the enclosures of
their grounds. The females of the laboring
classes perform some portion of the out door
labor; but they are not over worked, as in
| China and other parts of Asia. Polygamy OBJ
tains-i c., man may have any number of
second wives" When female is selected as
first wife, she prepares for her "change OF
condition" by smearing her teeth with horrid
mixture which not only blackens them forever,
hut also destroys portion of the gums, and the
lips sometime remain permanently swollen
She next shaves her eyebrows and exterlninates
her eyelashes, and changes the fashion of her
| lalT. Oue HAS iOW OHIy " OIlhS h"OS
her girdle round to the front, and all the world
knows that she is a first wife, the commander
in-chief of all the second wives, and the undis-
puted proprietress of all the children born in
