THE WIFE OF A MORMON ELDER,

That lone half Of the world cannot ina glne how the
other half live" Is no less true than rite and the les
son the adage Affords our experience and observation
daily tends to verify Then, too, when consider the
ever varying phases Of human passion and the dscor
dant elements from which al novel and fanatca sects
are moulded, 1t can scarcely seem surprising that a
faithful record OF actual events should exceed in sngu-
larity the widest dream of romance; or that crimes
both strange and unnatural should be perperated In
FAR oil country, on the outskirts Of civilizations which
people In another state of society would imagine
possible Knowing do know, the evils and horrors
and denominations of the mormon system, the degreda
ton II imposes on females, and the consequent vices
which extend through all the ramihcations Of society,"
sense Of duty to the world has induced TO prepare
the following narrative for the public eye The roma tic
Incidence connected with my experience, many may
think bordering on the marvellous. To them would
say that this narrative Of my life only proves what has
so often been proved before, that "Truth Is Stranger

The Miller of the Dee.

There dwelt miller hale and bold
Beside the river Dee,
lie worked and sang from morn to night,
No lark more blithe than he;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be
!" envy nobody, no, not
And nobody envics mel"
"Thonrt wrong, my friend, said old Kirg Hal
"Thou art wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light as thine,
I'd gladly change with thee.
And tell me now what makes thee sing
With voice SO loud and free,
While am sad though am king,
Beside the river Dec"
The miller smiled, and DOTTED his cap,

II love my wife, love my friend,
love my children three:
owe no penny cannot pay,
thank the river Dee,
That turns the mill that grinds the corn,
To feed my babes and me-"
GOOD friend" said Hal, and sighed the while
Farewell and happy be;
But say no more if thou'dst be true,
That no one envies thee.
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown,
Thy mill my kingdoms fee
Content like thine few men can boast,

Cotswold Sheep.

MIR. John I. Andrews of West Corn
wall, CT, gives the following reasons 70
bis preference TO the Cotswuld:
They are prol!fc.-After two years @
= age they usually bring twins. TIN
lambs become fat, and are worth in an
timn five dollars to butcher Selected
for breeding, the lambs sell at from ter
to $25 each. A gentleman in Canals
who had IA of this class Of sheep, in
formed me tina, he one year raised from
them % lambs, and sold them for 800
7heir cooi is proftable.-The wool O.
this sheep, compared with the Merino. i:
dry, clean, and less soft. The staple is
very long. No other sheep produces SC
heavy a fleece ofpure wool. Some wash.
ed feeces have weighed as high as 20
pounds. The lightest heeces are from
breeding ewes, and these win average
seven pounds eaci, so That there is M
kind OF wool selling higher by the fleece.
These sheep are hardy.-I have kept
them three years, and have n had a
case OF disease among them. Their long
heavy feeces protects hem from cold.
and turns off the Storm.
They come to early maturity They
may be fatted with profit when year
old. AT two have seen them fat,ed with
very little grain, and sold to the butcher
for $l8 each.
THEY are disposedto become fat.-It
Is well known that given amount of food
will produce far greater amount of
valuable fat and flesh on some animals
iha1 on others. Grain fed TO these
sheep, produce more pounds of meat
than when fed 10 swine, and the meat
sells higher by the pound.
The sheep obtain great sise.-A
standing premium of 500 for a sheen
weighing 200 pounds in the mutton, has
been taken by this breed alone The
wool will pay the expenses of keepino
nniii three years of age. They have
then been fattened to weigh 800 pounds.
and sold for $50 each.
These sheep are well adapted to small
farms, and thrive best in small flocks.-l
The farmer OF small means will find that
with good care. Is of these sheep will
produce as large an income as one hun
dred of the common Kind. and much
larger profit.

10000 DOLLARS REWARD

TT is estimated that 10000 persons die annu-
l. ally in the United States, with consumption,
and Professor Eberly says, that vast number
of these could be saved by the timely use OF
some proper remedy.
DIR. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root OF
the disease AT ONCE, and such is its speedy eff
feet, that any one using it freely, according to
directions, for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn it and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by a
single dose, and broken up in few hours time.
The afflicted do not have to take bottle after bot
tie before they find whether this remedy will
afford relief or not.
u Call on the agent and get pamphlet gra-
tbs.
1t has effected cures in numerous cases, where
the most skillful physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have exer-
cised their skill in vain. Cases which they pro-
nounced if,c,sra6ie, and surrendered as hopeless
beyond doubt, leaving the patients without
single ray to enliven them in their gloom, have
been cured by DIR. HALLS BALSAM,
and the "victims of consumption" are now Wig
orous and strong as the most robust amongus.
And these cases are not isolated ones they are
numerous, and can be pointed out in every COM
munity, where this most unriyaled remedy has
been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension induce you to give up. Act
upon the principle that s0liIe there Is life there is
hope. You can NEVER BE so Low that you may
not trust, humanity speaking, in HALLS BAL
SAM. More than one, nay hundreds has it
brought almost from death to life, when all else
had failed. Give, then, this powerful but harm
less remedy trial.
The public have been imposed upon by RENE
dies recommended by certificates which have
always originated from some unknown source
We believe that medicine possessing real mer-
its will effect cures wherever it is used, at home
as well as abroad. This is no paregoric prepar-
alton, but one which, if used in season, will save
the lives of thousands.

SAVE YOUR TREEs.--Trees that have
been injured by mice can be saved by
taking sucker from the same or any
other tree of the same kind, Aatten the
ends on one side, insert one end under
the bark above, and the other below
where the bark is eaten off, the same as
inside grating, that will make a bridge
to carry the sap over the wounded part
bind the ends tight with string, cover
with grating wax or clay cover the
whole with earth, if near enough to the
ground if not, bind up with clay, TO
protect the wound from the sun. Put
in several suckers, to be sure of l or 2,
and if thy all live, so much the better.
