Mormonism is still in practical operation
amongst us. Or last Friday tall raw-boned
Saint with a complexion very strongly re-
sembling that of boiled tripe. arrived here
from Pittsburg with couple Of wives. but
deeming his flock too small 20 start Salt
Lake-ward with, held forth as follows to an
admiring audience. at a house over the canal,
with q view 10 the perfection of the material
necessary to the completeness of bis domestic
felicity. His text was

about MormoDism-nOt for my own sake, but

"Mormonism is built on that high. old
principle which SEE hat it amt good for man
to be alone. and mil bty sight worse for q
woman. Therefore, If man feels good with
little company, a 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
a good thing. Woman is tenderer than man
and is necessary to smooth down the rough
ness of his character, and as man has good
many rough pinis in bis Datur, be ought MT
to give one woman too much 10 do, bat set

But how was she made so? Where did she
git it from? Why. she was created out OF
the side-bone of a man. and the side-bone OF
man is ike the side bone of turkey-the

man has three side bones, and man only
one, OF course she is three times as tender az
man is, and is in duty bound to repay that
tenderness of which she robbed him. And
now did she rob him of his side-bone? Why

But as women is more tenderer than man,
so is man more forgiyener than woman, there
