THE EVENING NEWS.
A MKeerfnl Shephe.d.,,


4 Cincinnati paper tells the following
Of Z tall, raw-boned Saint, who recent
" arrived in that city from PittSburg with 4
couple of wives. He thought his flock too
small to start 20 Salt La&ewi and address,
cd an adnairing crowd with view to the
perfection Of the material necessary to the
completeness Of his domestic felicity. His
text was " Men is SSeercc and wimmen is
plenty"
Brethren and SiStern-partickerly the
SiStern-l want to say 4 few words to you
about ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for my own sake,
but for yourR-for men is S&ccrcc and wini-
men is plenty.
Morrnonism is built, on that high old prin-
ciplr which SCI that j. amt good for man to
be alone, and mighty sight worse for wo-
man. Therefore, il man feels good with
little company, 4 good deal OF 1t ought to
make him feel IN awful sight bctter-for
men IS skeercc and wimmGn is plenty.
The first principle of MormOniSm is, that
woman are 4 good thing; and the second is,
that you can't have too much of good
thing. Woman Is tcndercr than man, and
is necessary 10 smooth down the rOughneSS
of his character, and rs man has good
MANY rough pintS in his natur, he oughtn't
TO give one woman too much TO do, but set
each woman to work smoothing some per-
ticklar pint-for men is Skeercc and wimmcn
is plenty.
Don't think that am over anxious for you
10 Join US, for amt. I'm not speakin' for
my good, but for yourn-for men is Skcerce
and wimmcn is plenty.
l said woman was tendcrer than man, but
YOU needn't feel stuck up about it. for SO she
had ought TO be; she was made so pur-
pose. But how was she made so; Why

man, and the side bone of 4 man Is like the
side bone OF 4 turkcy-the tenderer part Of
him. Therefore woman has three side
bones and Q man one; Of course she is three
times as tender as 4 man is, and is in duty
bound to repay the tenderness of which she
robbed him. And how did she rob him of
this side bone: Why, exactly as she ro5S
his pockets nowadays of his loose change
she took advantage Of him when he was
asleep.
But woman IS more tendercr than man,
so is man more forgivener than woman !;
therefore l won't say ANYTHING more about
the side bone, or the small change, but in-
wife you all to join my train, FOR I'm big
shepherd out our way, and fare SUmptuouSly
every day on purple and fine linen.
when first landed on the shores of Great
Salt Lake, wasn't rich in wimmcn, for
and wimmen is plenty, and like keerful
shepherd, | began TO increase my tock.-
Women heerd Of us and our lOyin' ways,
and they kept comm in. They come from
the north and they come from the south,
thew come from the cast and they come from
the west, they come from Europe, they come
from Ashley, and few on EN- come from
Afrikev-:or men is Skecrce and wimmen is
plcntv-and from being the miserable owner
OF one old voc, | become the joyful shop
herd Of q mighty flock, with 4 right smart
sprinkling of lambs, friSkicr and fatter than
anybody elSe'S, and I've still got room for
few more-for men is skeerce and wimmen
Is plenty.
As said before, I'm not talkin' pertickler
for my benefit, but for yourO-for men Is
Skeerce and wiunen IS plenty. Still, I'd 4
leetle rather you'd go along with me than
not, perticklcrly Won fat one with the CALI
ker bonnet Don't hesitate, but take the
chance while you can get il, and I'll make
YOU the " bell voc" Of the flock. III lead
YOU through the green pasture and high
grass, show YOU where YOU may capcr IN the
sunshine, and lay down in pleasant places;
and, rs YOU are in pretty good condition al
ready, in course of time you shall be the fat
test OF the flock. Jine in, iinc in, jinc in my
train; line It now-for men is Skeerce and
women is plenty.
The appeal was irresistible. At last &C
counts the fat woman with the callikcr sun
bonnet had lined in" and two or three
Oehers were on the fence with decided lean
ing towards the kec-ful Shepherd.
