SAILORS GRAVE.

Our bark was far, FAR from the land,
When the brsvest of our gallant band
Grew deadly pale, and yned away,
Like the twilight OF an autumn Jay.
We had watched him thru long hours of pain,
Our cares VI re great and our hopes were vain,
Death struck be gave no cowarus alarm,
But ne smiled and died in bis messinate's
arms
We had no costly winding sheet,
We placed Two round shot al his feet;
He lay IN his hammock 81 snug and sound,
AS King With his long shroud marbled
bound.
We proudly deckrd his funeral vest
With the s.ar- and stripes all on his breast +;
We gave him this as badge OF the brave,
And lac then Was fit for a sailors grave.
Our voices broke and our hrarts turned weak,
Aud tear WAS seen on the brownest cheek ;
And CULVER played ON the lips of the bride,
As we lowered him down our ships dark
side
A splash, a plunge, and our task was DER.
And the pillows they rolled as they rolled
bef.ire;
And many wild prayers then haIlowed the
wave,
AS he sank beneath sailors grave.

AS to the social evils growing ont
of polygamy, incest for example, it
il not even denied, it il rather advo-
Gated. We bring down this charge
fair and square to the Mormon pa
peers and speakers, and dare them
to the proof. And to put the matter
fairly at issue, we will not argue,
but ask these questions:
|. Are there not many instances
in this Territory where u man Is
married to the mother and one, two
or three daughters
2. Are there not several men
here, each of whom is married to
two or three sisters!
3. d not one of the formost
men Of the church marry widow,
and then get her eldest son sent on
mission AMI marry that sons wife
while he was gone? His stepson's
wife?
4. Did not wrll-known indlvid-
ual of this city marry his half-sistrr,
with the consent of Brigham Young,
and live with her as his wife several
years? :.
5. HIS not Brigham Young justi-
fled such marriage in the pulpit,
saving "thp time might come when
brothers would marry their own sis
ters in order to raise lid u pure
priesthood
e. Did he, or did he not, max,
substantially the same statement to
Hepworth Dixon, rs set forth IN thu

dressing-room the excitement proved too
much, and she tainted away.
On coming back to consciousness, it
was to find Duke Louis at her feet, and
the head commissaire standing at her side,
bidding her tie take courage, for the pearls
had been found. "Where are they ?" ex-
claimed she. care you sure that none
are missing ? Have none been stolen %
Duke Louis then clasped round her neck
the string of pearls, complete at last, no
longer sewn on to the velvet band, but
strung with symmetry, and fastened with
diamond clasp. What more could be
done by the devoted lover? He had
spared neither pains nor sacrifice to attain
his end, and Mile. Mendel consented to
become his wife.
The Empress Of Austria appears to
have been much moved by the story, aud
suggested the nomination of the bride
elect to the title Of Baroness de Wallersee,
which thus equalized the rank Of the fan
ces, and enable them to marry without
difficulty. They live the most retired life
possible in their little chateau on Lake
Stahnberg, where the Empress of Austria
is about to visit them. They say that the
Duchess Louis of Bavaria never puts of
night or day the necklace of pearls, the
clasp of which she had riveted to her neck.
and that in consequence Of this popularity
she is known all through the country
round by the name of the Fairy Perlina

The SiameSe Twins.

The following gossip concerning the
Siamese Twins seems rather apocryphal,
but we hand it around for the benefit Of
chronological science:
Chang belongs to the Good Templars,
and is hard working and enthusiastic
supporter of all temperance reforms
But, to his bitter distress, every now and
then Eng gets drunk and of course, that
makes Chang drunk too This unfortunate
thing has been great sorrow to Chang,
for it almost destroys his usefulness in his
favorite field of effort. AS sure as he is
to head a great temperance procession Eng
ranges up alongside of him, prompt to
the minute and drunk as lord but yet
no more dismally and hopelessly drunk
than his brother, whohas not tasted a
drop. And so the two begin to boot AMI
yell, and throw mud and bricks at the
good Templars, and of course they break
up the procession. 1t would be manifestly
wrong to punish Chang for what Eng does
and therefore the Good Templars accept
the untoward situation and suffer in silence
and sorrow. They have officially and
deliberately examined into the matter,
and find Chang bameless They have
taken the two brothers and filled Chang
full of warm water and sugar, and Eng
full of whiskey; and in twenty-five min
utes it was not possible 70 tell which
was the drunkest"

An Old Elephant Avenging an Insult
to Young One.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, of June
2Sth, relates the following additional il
Illustration of the wonderful sagacity Of the
elephant
The elephant Romeo, who paid our
city visit on Saturday, and who has won
quite reputation for cutting up, started
a sensation yesterday morning, which for
sometime bid fair to be lively. 1t seems
that when the train was coming into the
city Friday morning, some thoughtless
boy threw stone at the baby elephant,
hurting it. Romeo was full of wrath, and
started for the crowd Of boys with the
evident determination of stirring them up.
The keeper fortunately saw what was up,
and succeeded in quoting the monster
Yesterday morning the boy who threw.
the stone was on the circus grounds, and
Romeo by some means discovered him.
The huge fellow was full Of wrath, and
started about wildly. He upset stands,
threw his trunk about, and beloved much
like a young tornado. 1t was evident
that he meant mischief, and as soon as
he was in earnest would manage to get
loose, and then the dickens woald be to
paw. A rider was sent down town to
hunt up Romeo's keeper. and thas worthy
arrived just as the monster was in fair
way to get loose. The keeper managed
by blows and threats to quiet affairs
Meanwhile the boy who had made the
trouble was getting towards town as fast
as his young legs could carry him.

Romance of the Law Courts.

NJ. Frere Orban, the Belgian Minister,
who is now on a mission to Paris, is said
to have acquired his double sirname in
very romantic way. When NJ. Frere, he
was about to pass his examination for the
bar when he met with an heiress of one OF
the most important commercial houses of
Brussels, with whom he fell in love. Her
father NJ Orban, rejected his proposal OF
marriage in somewhat peremptory man
ner. The young lady, however, was not
to be 50 easily disposed of. You are to
pass your examination to-day if you sue
coed come to our box at the opera to night,
and in month we shall be married. >
"But your father?" Leave him to me. .
That evening favorite singer attracted
all the bo,sr geoisie of Brussels to the opera
the house was crammed. The door OF NJ.
Orban's box opened; NJ. Ferer appeared
on the threshold mademoiselle rose, and
before the whole house kissed the ne WY
fcdged barrister That day one month
he married the heiress, and henceforth
took her name, and thus became NJ. Frere
Orban.

Married in Fun, But Welded in Ear
nest

A correspondent of the Montpelier
ournal describes a serio comic affair
which has occurred not thousand miles
miles from White River Junction. The
writer says: CAT a party last week, at
one Mr Blanks after exhausting the Or
binary games, and wanting something
new, mock marriages were proposed
Accordingly, names were drawn by lot,
and four couples stood up to be married.
The ceremony was performed, and they
were duly pronounced man and wife by
the laws of the State, and before these
witnesses Afterwards they ascertained
that the man officiating was Justice of
the Peace, and the parties were legally
married. One of them, Professor ---
of I Seminary, expects a lady up
from below in about IA fortnight to marry
him, and nearly involved is expecting to
be married right away-one other gentle
man to lady below and they feel like
death. They have searched all the law
books, and consulted authorities far and
near, and everything only proves the knot
still tighter. The Justice has been fined
fifty dollars for each couple. He says he
is from another county, and cannot do
business here, and supposed the marriage
not to be legal 1t is certainly funny
scrapc, and still funrier by the fact that
all the parties belong to the upper ten
The best opinion is that they are legally
married, and can only be divorced by the

That old Couple.

There may be a romance connected
with the love of fresh young hearts their
smeing.aaavtheir wedding, but to me there
is no aHection 50 beautiful as that between
an aged man and wife.
When | see such couple. / always
think of the far away days, when for
them love was young and gave pleasant
hours Of wooing, dreamy days of court
ship, and finally crowned their happiness
at the altar
Together they have drunk of life's
joys, and with clasped hands have knelt
before sorrows shrine.
Away back in the days that we know
nothing of, memory holds for them sacred
hours and scenes. Scenes of joy, the
nurture of the tender birdings that have
found their way into the parent nest,
their pride, their joy !; perhaps the aged
mother is even now dreaming Of the day
when her daughter was a baby in her arms
or led by her hand. Or of the brave
sons who have one by one gone out into
the great world to fight their battles with
fate, or be borne unresisting on its tide.
Now for them is all the tender home
ties loosened, and only the vacant places
by the hearthstone, and now and then a
letter. or flying visit is all that remains.
Yet, in all these years has their welded
love grown stronger, and no memory OF
I joys past is dearer to them than the sad
Visions of hands clasped over the cold form
of their loved dead.
White head-stonc CLEAN here and there
amid the memory Of their past joys, and
| the hearts tears proclaim how sacred is
sorrow sanctificd by love.
We cannot understand all the poetry
all the beauty of a love that has threaded
two lives upon ono string We look up
on an old couple who have passed their
labor, as upon the fruit waiting to be
gathered or the wheat fully ripe, nor
dream of the wealth of tender memories,
an recollcctions filing their aged breasts.
We call old people children and "broken
down." when they are only living and
acting upon the spirit of dead and gone
days How their hearts grow tender with
age, is known only to God.
Give me as life's best boon, a surety o!
the lasting love of my youth. ask nc
more for my age, tran the faithful affec-
ton of the heart or which my youth
rested All things else may be denied
me, wealth, honors, beauty, health, but

end of lifes journey hand in hand will

I care not where our heads may rest

icfucnces of this life, must soften, anc

NO. 49,.

itively refused to allow her to do so,
assigning some frivolous cause for the
refusal. That night he left home, saying
that he was going to set up all night with
a sick neighbor, who lived some miles
distant. It is supposed that he concealed
himself in the woods until midnight, and
then, influenced by unholy lust, forced an
entrance into the house of B., to violate
the person of the wife of the latter.
When the case became known the most
intense excitement prevailed in the county
and had not Providence punished the
criminal; he would probably have been
hung to the nearest tree by the enrage d
populace.

TWILIGHT.

Far over the land the evening
Is spreading her shadows dim;
And the choir Of birds in the woodland
Is chanting it, vesper hymn.
From the mountains, proud and lofty,
Lifting their azure heads in air,
Has faded the bright tinge of ruby,
The sunset had painted there.
Over hill and dell and ocean,
In her airy mantle gray,
Comes the twilight still and gentle
To shut the gates o. day
And to close the eyes of the flowers,
To charm the wild birds to sleep,
And to wrap the world that is weary,
In holier calm aud aeen
And TO weep for II teaFs, The dewdrops,
That the day has passed away,
With so many sins unrepented,
That leave their stain on the day..
Oh! I often sit in the twilight
And watch the shadows with glee,
For all the scenes that they act in,
Are beautiful ones to me.
In the wide, weird halls of my fancy,
The shadows will call to play,
A crowd of the merriest actors
Queer faneies at close of.day.
But then there are holTer feelings
That come in the twilight hour,
Of our hearts they will take possessions,
We cannot scorn their power.
There are faces amid the shadows
Dear forms We greet with delight.
On some are the crowns of the angels
Around them their robes Of light
And all though the hea; Is 'nner temple,
The purer feelings hold sway,
And hoher resolves are forming
Than form in the light CT day.
Oh! this hour 'twixt day and nighttime,
a wonderful joy can be,
There is always SEINE glesna of pleasure
In the twilight hours fos me.
G. B. I.
