"WH1NING" WoMEN.-Brigham
Young, of Utah, has been blowing up
the women of that free-and-easy Terri
tory in manner at once awful and
unique. He accuses them of Whining"
and says that they must either " stop
that sort of nonsense -" or else start for
the other side of Jordan, at once-and
he tells his own forty wives that he
means them, as we'll as the rest of the
feminine Utahyans. He says that the
kernel of the whole difficulty direct
occasion of the disagreeable and unbear-
able " Winnings lies in the fact that
the women expect too much of the
Saints! He says that the women-even
his own forty-are so weak minded as
to suppose that the sanity elders of the
Mormon Israel can make heaven on
earth for them-and that after women
has entered Saint family, and finds that
after all he is not able to make heaven
on earth for her, she begins to whine
and talk about too many wiyes,' and
the evils of polygamy, and such like
blasphemous twaddle.' Brigham also
says it is his opinion that any woman
who ever lived would be disappointed in
the best Saint in Utah, should she mar
ry him-and on this point we unreserv-
eddy agree with Brigham. The Cover
nor gave all the women warning that
two weeks from date Of his sermon a.
ginst whining" he should call upon
them to promise never to whine more"
or else to leave the Territory, bag and
baggage, saying that he would even
send off all his own wives, and 90 to
heaven alone, sooner than take such a
whining crew along with him.

Poetry.
" co TT ALONE.o
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

There's game much in fashion, think It's
Though I've never played it for pleasure or
lucre,
Tn which, when the cards are in certain con-
ditions,
The PLAYERS seem to have changed their po-
And ONE of them cries in confident tone,
~ think might venture to 60 it alone.
While watching the game, tits whim OF
the bard's -,
And moral to draw from the sklrmlsn III
cards,
And fancy he finds in the trivial strife,
Some excellent hints for the battle OF HE,
Where, whether the prize be o ribbon or
throne, =,
The winner is he who can "Go it alone!"
When great Galileo proclaimed that the
world
In a regular obit was ceaselessly whirled.
And got-not a convert for all of his pains,
But only derision, and prison and chains
cit moves, for all that" was his answering
tone
For he knew like the earth, he could " go it
alone!"
When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered the laws of each panel and star,
And doctors who ought to have lauded his
name,
Derided his learning and blackened his
fame,
81 can watt he replied, till the truth you
shall own"
For he felt in his heart he could Ego it
aloner'
Alas for the player who idly depends
In the struggle of life, upon kindred and
friends,
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds with
groan
That his crutches have left him to ego it
alone"
There is something, no doubt, in the hand
you may hold;
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold;
The unfortunate owner may fairly regard,
AS each in its way most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for
your own,
Unless you've the courage to Ego it alone p
In battle or business, whatever the game,
In law or in love it is ever the same,
In the struggle for power or scramble for
pelf,
Let this be your motto" Reply on your
self"
For whether the prize be a ribbon or throne.
The victor is he who can go it alone"

Indianapolis Herald says, who had been out
hunting, was walking along the railroad
track, in the neig hborhood of Camp Caring
ton few days since, when the down train
from Lafayette came along The engineer
whistled, but the sable hunter, being deaf,
did not hear. Before the engine could be
stopped the negro was hoisted by the cow
catcher and tumbled into promiscuous
heap by the side of the track. a good deal
bruised and confused, but not much hurt. -
His gun was discharged by the shock, the
shot hifilng hog which was foraging near
by. The owner of the hog will bring suit
against the road, while the road will have
recourse on the negro.
