BRIGHAM YOUNG S FAMILY.
The last picture have TO show you represents
Mr.. Brigham Young in the bosom of his family
His family is large, and the olive branches
around the table are in very tangled condition.
He is more father than any man | know.
When at home-as you here see him-he ought
to be very happy, with sixty wives to minister to
his comforts, and twice sixty children to soothe
his distracted mind. All J.! my friends what is
home without family?
