A PantaIoonIess PhiIander.

A certain young man being out on a
counting expedition one Sunday evening,
in order TO keep his secret from It's young
acouaintances, determined TO be at home
bright and early on Monday morning.
| Dressed in his fine white summer ants.
and other fixins in proportion, he mounted
his horse, and soon arrived at the resi-
deuce OF his iunamorata, where he WAS
kindly received, and the horse properly
cared for, being turned into the pasture

/ The Brigham Young IS
reported to have l95 wives. Silas Rorder
/ 1913, Jeremiah Stern III, Job BhliScn
/ 90. julius Hoffman 81, Habacue Croatzy
81, and Gideon Rutfian 81. These gen
teman, we suppose, are the notabiiues
OF Salt Lake, particularly the last named.
Brigham's oldest wife is not over 40, and
his youngest is not above IA, while he is
the survivor OF no fewer than % spouseS.
SiIas Roeder, the next in authority among
the Saints, as might be supposed, is so apt
to forget the names of his wives that he
has to call them by numbers.
The masses il the Mormon country
have only one wife, and the average does
not exceed two or three apiece. Brigham
Young is the reputed father of PAP child
rem, of whom 81 are dead. The surviv-
ing balance PA consist of 50 boys and
l85 girls. Silas Roeder is thrice and
jeremiah Stern nine times Brigham's
brother. in-law, these WORTHLESS having re.
spectively married three and nine sisters
OF their chiefs wives. The prepondera-
ing nationality among the male inhabi-
tants is that Of Sweden, and the Danes
come next. The Scotch, noted for their
metaphysical propensities, surviving all
;he whiskey OF the land of Burns, out
number the Norwegians. Next to them
are the Swiss, Germans and Americans.
As for the French there are only two in
all the vast Mormon dominion, and there
are not more than three Italians, and only
one Spaniard, an isolated representative
of Don Quixote, in Salt Lake. As far as
the female population is concerned, it is
noteworthy that there - not a single
French woman, while there are eight
Italians and two Spanish women. and even
one representative of classic Greece. A
French lady would be looked upon as the
most precious of acquisitions, and other
Latin females are also in great demand,
in proportion to their greater scarcity.-
The majority of the women come from
the United States, Scandinavia, Ger
m ny and Mexico Chicago RepuJ-
ltcan.

RECIPE FOR KIssING.-Ladies must
see that the following rules are strictly
observed. The gentleman must be taller
than the lady he intends to kiss. Take
her right hand in yours and draw her
gently TO you. Pass your left over her
right shoulder, diagonally down her back
under her left arm; press her to your
bosom, at the same time she will throw
her head back, and you have nothing to
do but lean your head forward and press
your lips to hers and then the thing is
done. Don't make noise as if firing India
crackers, nor pounce down upon it like a
hungry hawk upon an innocent dove. but
gently fold the damsel in your arms with,
out smashing her standing collar or spoil
ing her curls, and by sweet pressure
upon her mouth revel in b!issfulness of
your situation, without smacking your lin,
over it as you would over a glass Of lager
beer.

The Aged Pastor.

He stands at the desk, that grave old man,
With an eye still bright tho his cheek is wan,
And his long white locks are backward rolled
From his noble brow of classic mould;
And his form, though bent with weight ofyears,
Somewhat of its primal beauty wears.
He opens apage ofthe sacred word
Not whisper, either low or loud is heard;
Even Folly assumes a serious look,
AS he readeth the word of the Holy Book
And the thoughtless and gay grow rev'rent there
AS he opens his lips in fervent prayer.
He stands as the grave old prophets stood'
Proclaiming the truth and the living God
Pouring reproof on the ears OF men
Whose hearts are at ease IN folly and SIN,
With challenge of guilt still unforgiven
To the soul untitled, unmeet for Heaven.
o, who can but honor that good old man
As he neareth his three score years and ten
Who hath made it the work of his life TO bless
Our world in its woe and wickedness
Still guiding the few who wont to stray
In the paths of SIN to the narrow way.
With kindly heart through the lapsing years
He hath shared our joys, he hath wiped our tears.
He hath bound the wreath on the brow of the
bride,
He hath stood by the couch when loved ones died
Pointing the soul to a glorious Heaven,
As the ties which bound it to earth were riven.
Methnks yell weep another day
When the good old man hath passed away,
When the last of his ebbing sands had run,
When his labor is DER and his work is done,
Who'll care for the flock and keep the fold
When his pulse is still and his heart is cold
Yen miss him then {; every look and tone,
SO familiar now, forever gone,
Will thrill the heart with inward pain,
And yen long and listen forthem in vain,
When stranger form and a stranger face
Shall stand in your honored pastors place.

So you see the experiment in the barn
has outdone the pasture, as the above
figures show you. The experiment has
gone so per cent, beyond my own caIcua-
ton. Now the question will be asked,
how has it been done? | will explain :
In the first place cut my hay in June,
commenced the 9Th and 9th, and finished
before July, and cut it again the last of
July and the first of August, which makes
the hay just as good as grass Then my
stable is double boarded outside and in.
double doors and double windows. and the
floor made rather tight to save al! the
urine, which doubles the manure in guam
tity and quality. This keeps the stable
from freezing in the coolest nights, even
when the mercury stands SO or 40 degrees
below zero. Then TIE cows are fed on
this hay three times day and nothing
else, no more nor less and whatever the
creature is, they are turned out and wa
tered night and morning, then put back
into the stable and kept there all the time
in winter. This brief statement shows
how the COW has been treated to produce
the quantity of butter above stated. The
steers sold last spring, at % months old.
weighing 2300 lbs. for $4,000, and were
kept the same as the COW has been in win
ter, on hay and nothing else, the hay cut
in June, and the first of August. give
this statement TO show that the farming
interest can be doubled and trebed G-
stead OF going on in the old track by COM
mencing hayiDg the Monday after the Alb
OF July and getting done the last of Aug.
and letting their cattle lie out sbiyerinp
in the cold during the day, and in cold
barn at night. l could say considerable
more, but this will take up, perhaps, more
OF your paper than you would like, so |
will stop here. The COW comes in again
next April. Yours truly,
