A few Sundays since, Brigham
Young treated his audience to q very
quaint kind Of speech. He wants all
the young women married off instant
er, and wants all the young men I'm
Zion TO marry them; and he openly
threatened, Ii the young metz failed TO
do the job, that he and the bishops and
the elders would take the matter i'm
hand, and marry them all themselves.
Marrying for love was played out; that
old-fashioned way of getting married
was exploded. 1t wouldn't do here;
because II a young man allowed him
self to love young girl, and then mar
ried her, the dickens was usually to
pay when he wanted to take the Sec
ond wife. She had his heart, and 10
was Impossible to divide the affections
with two or more wives. But he in
sisted that the young men, as duty,
a religious duty, should 60 for the
young women and marry them all Off
They were instructed to marry them by
couples, and pairs. and triplets; To quad
ruple. quintuple, and sextuple, iflthey
could support them. The only consid-
GRAFTON for . prudent young man, was
support. The young women,. also,
were ordered to marry when young
saint went for them, and to become
mothers IN Israel. H9
