Brigham Young aud FamI,v.

found President Young an agreeable,
afable gentleman. apparently not over for
ty-ive years of age, although he is really
upwards Of sixty. He was disposed t.
converse upon any and all subjects very
freely. The treaty with japan he regard.
ed at first az failure, and the character
of the embassy which visited the United
States has served to confirm that belief
the war, he thinks, will be continued till a
great part OF the North and South are used
up, or. TO speak mure plainly, till all are
aDnihilated, when the Saints" will be the
people to occupy the country in peace and
quietness. The desolatIOD caused by the
war he regards as the judgment Of the
Lnrd for the persecution Of the Saints
Brigham was disposed to give any informa
ton concerning bis theatre, temple, and
tabernacle, and about his other buildings.
The ventilating of his private school room,
where bis own children, numbering some
sixty, are educated, appeared to be fa-
vorite subject of conversation. The cell.
ings of these rooms are eighteen feet high,
ventilated from the tops of ell the windows.
HIS own residences--there are several
bulidings-are large and airy, with double
doors, and ceilings twenty or thirty feet in
VIC &c DTlOClpdlly
occupied by his wives.
Brigham sleeps alone and eats bis meals
alone Whenever be wants one of his
wives he sends for her. 1t is not uncom-
mon to see three or four Of his wives at
church sitting together, and generally
dressed alike. A dozen or fifteen children
are about his premises at play at ell times,
apparently happy enough. Brigham
Young, junior, 500 about twenty two
years Old-a pretty fair chip of the old
bloek-has Just returned from Europe,
whittier he was sent ON mission. Whilst
there be visited most Of the countries and
places of interest, being Supplied with as
much money as he wanted to spend. =
BrIgham's last wife was rather an inter-
est'ng young lady, the daughter of Mr.. Fol-
som.
1t is asserted by the Mormons that the
must perfect harmony and good feeling pre-
walls among the wives of the harem, but I
have positive information which shows this

Brigham is friendly disposed towards
the overland mail companies. People Wis.

were known to be murderers or iucendiar>
les; strangers never converse except in a
low tone, so that they cannot be heard cff
the sidewalks. The spy system here is
equal to that in Vienna or Paris. Men
aud women are frequently found curled ~
under the fence inside the yard. to listen to
people passing along the streets Men
have been known to come and listen under

been seen at what they consider unusual
hours To report any thing to Brigham to
attract his attention would be accounted a

How an English man was SUR
pTiSed on coming 10 America.

How an EDElIShman was SUR
pTtsed on COmingIO America.
The editor Of the Genessee Farmer. joe
seph Harris, esq, came to this county a
dozen Or more years ego. direct from Eng
land, where he bad received a sciert,
agricultural education, intended to fit him
for the higher duties Of the profession. In
a recent address before the Monroe County
New York; Agricultural Society. he told
what surprised him on his arrival in thia
country. We make the following extracts:
When l fret came to this country, many
things surprised me.
was surprised at the excellence OF
American beef and the inferiority of Amer.
lean nation, and | was not surprised that
the beef sold for half as much again as the
mutton, while in London mutton was
worth cent pound more than beef.
was surprised that farmers paid so lit.
tie attention to their gardens.
was surprised to find so many farmers
with large, handsome houses and elegant
ly furnished parlors that they seldom used.
In England, at that time, we had a window
tax, and the houses there have few win
COWS One Of the FIRST things that struck
me was the number of windows in Ameri-
can houses, and the great effort that was
made to shut them up and exclude the glo
rinus American sunshine and the Invigor-
ating American atmosphere.
was surprised that everywhere went
the people thought that particular spot the
most fertile, the healthiest, and the best
place en- the continent was surprised,
nevertheless, that everybody was willing
to sell
was surprised at the excellence of the
wheat and the inferiori,y Of the barley.
was surprised to see the farmers go
raugh looking, and yet so intelligent.
was surprised to see the country w0-
men so much better looking than the men,
and withal go interesting and fascinat-
ing.
Twas surprised that farmers sowed but
one kind of grass seed. and that they paid
so little attention to their permanent mead.
uws,
was surprised to see them plow so
wide. and still more surprised that, under
the influence of our cold winters, and dry.
hot summers, these wide furrnws tumhled
all to pieces aud formed, after ali, very
fair seed bed
was surprised that farmers raised go
few peas and beans, aud thought SO lightly
of clover bay.
! was surprised that farmers could max
a living from crops of wheat Of from ten
to twelve bushels per acre.
/ was surprised to hear rotton straw call
ed manure.
was SURPRISED at many other things
at the grand network Of railroads.&c. the
magnificent rivers and lakes-at the mar
velIous rapidity with which the country
was settled. at the enterprise and practical
intelligence which has accomplished such
astonishing results in so short a time
But do not think that any one thing sur
prised me more than this: the luxuriance
of the clover crop in Western New York.

agricultural science. aud from the greatest

His might while heaving pillows high,
And the glad Eephyrs fitting by

And publish their Creators care.

A MORNING HYMN.

Sing to the Lord The shades Of night
At his command have passed away,
And the mornings doubtful light
Hath frightened to the full orbed day.
Watched by that Eye that never sleeps.
Safe and in confidence we slept;
Who sun and stars innumcrable keeps,
His servants faithfully have kept
No earthquake shock, no hungry flame,
No tempest with destroy ing breath,
At midnight to our dwelling came,
To make our sleep the sleep of death.
Thy guardian angels. Lord were near,
To smooth the pulse and sOothe the breast
Nor torturing pain, nor haunting fear
Broke the sweet quiet of our rest.
Now called to duty by the light,
Our morn ing thanks to thee we pray
For the kind ministry Of the night,
For the new glory Of the day;
For life preserved, for strength renewed,
For the dear Love that guards us still;
GBut best We speak our gratitude
