"Mormouam is built on that high, old prp-
ciple which SCI that it aint good for man 10 he
alone, aud mighty sight worse for woman
Therefore, il u man feels good with little com
pany, good deal OF it ought to make him feel
an awful sight better
aThe first principle of Mormonisni is. that
woman air a good thing, and the second prin-
ciple is that you can't havetoo much OF a good
thing. Woman is tenderer than man, aud Is
necessary TO smooth down the ronghness of his
character, and as men has good many rough
points iu his nature. he oughtn 10 give one
woman too much to do, but set each one 70
work al smoothn' some partickler pint.
Don't think I'm over anxious for you to

| how was she made so? Where did she git it
from? Why, she was created out Of the SIDE

like the side-bone of a turkey-the tenderest

bis side-bonc? Why, exactly as she robs his
\ pocket nowadays Of his loose ehangc--she
| took advantage Of him when he was asleep.
But as woman is more tender than man, SO
| is man more forgivener than woman, therefore
won't say anything more about the side.bonc,
or the small change, but invit you oil to jim my
! train, for I'm q big shepherd out our way, and
fare sumptuously every day on purple and fine

10 increase my flock. Women heard Of US and
Of our loyin ways, and they kept pourin' in.
They come from the North, and they come from
the South, they come from the East, and they
come from the West, they come from Europe
they come from Aishy, and few of'em from
