to the completeness Of his domestic felicity HIS
text was:
"Men is skeerce and Weemea is Plenty"
eBrothern and Sistern-perticker the Sistern: 1
want to say few words to you about Mormonism-
not for my own sake, but for yourn, for men IS
Skeerce and lCeemen is plenty.
'Mormonism is built on that high, old principle
which sez that it amt good for man to be alone, and
mighty sight worst fOr woman. Therefore, if
man feels good with little company, good deal OF
it ought to make him feel an awful sight better.
"The first principle of MOrmOnism Is, that woman
air good thIng and the second principle Is that you
can't have too much of good thing Woman Is
tenderer than man, and IS necessary to smooth down
the roughness of his character, and as man has
good many rough pints in his natuF, he Oughtnt to
give one woman much to do, but set each one to
work smoOthin some particular pint
Don't think Pm over anxious Tor you to Jine US,
for amt I'm not speakin for my good, but for
yourn for men is S5serce and l0eelEen IS plenty.
81 said woman was tenderer than man, but you
needn't feel stuck up about it. for so she ought to be-
she was made so purpose. But how was she
made SO? Where did she giti from? Why, she was
created out of the sde-bOne Of man, and the side
bone of a man is like the side-bone OF turkey-the
tenderest part of HIM. Therefore, as q woman has
three side-bones and man has only one, Of cOur~e
she is three times as tender as man is and Is in
duty bound to repay that tenderness Of which she
robbed him. And how did she rob him Of his side
bone? Why exactly as she rObs his pockets now a.
DAYS of his loose Change-she took advantage OF
him when he was asleep.
But as woman is more tender than man, SO Is man
more foregivener than woman, therefore lWOnt say
ANYTHING more about the side-bOne, or the small
change, but invite you all to Jene my train for I'm
a big shepherd out our way, and fare sumptuously
every day on purple and fine linen.

and they kept a porin' in. They come from the

The appeal was irresistible. At the last account
'the fat woman with the cal1er sunbunnet" had
"ifned in " and two or three others were on the
fence, witha decided leaning toward the "Keerful
Shepherd. y CiHciHldti Enquirer.
