A Secret Society Throws it's Goat
from n Third Story window.

Our friends of Dudley Temple of Hon
or, like all other secret societies, have
their goat, an animal absolutely neces-
sary in all initiation ceremonies for
what kind Of member would a man
make who had never ridden the goat2
But the Dudley Templars have Of late
become offended at their goat. His odor
could not be fifteenthly amended out
of him, no more than the odor can be
ffteenthly amended out of some citi-
zens of this municipality; and so it was
determined that the fragrant old goat
should die.
Last night several members of the
Temple, upon reaching their Hall, en-
cOuntered their fragrant sweet Viii
liam in the ante-roOm, and he presented
a formidable front to them, presaging war.
They seized him by the horns, but he
fought nobly as other savory smells have
fought, but finally he had to suecumb,
and the victorious Templars carried him
10 the window and "let him Drop He
landed on the pavemement three stories
below. But the fall didn' hurt him; and
in triumph he gathered himself up, walk
ed deliberately to the middle ofthe street,
bleated defiance at the Templars, and
then shaking the dust Of temperance from
his name, walked majestically away to
seek a situation in some other and more
humane secret society. Albany

Cnn a Mother Forget /?

Can mother forget2 Nota morning,
noon or night but she looks into the cor
ner of the kitchen where you read of
Robinson Crusoe, and thinks of you yet
boy. Mothers rarely become conscious
that their children are grown out of their
childhood. They think of them, write
TO them, advise them, as though not
fourteen years Of age. They cannot for
get the child Three times a day she
thinks of those absent from the table,
and hopes the next year at farthest she
may Just have here own family there,
and If You are there, look out for the fat
limb Of a chicken, and coffee which
nobody but everybodys mother can
make. Did Hannah forget Samuel2 A
short sentence full of household history,
and running over with genuine mothers
love, is telling and beautiful Moreover
his mother made him a little cloak, and
brought it TO him from year to iyear,
when she came up with her husband to
sacrifice" A mother mourning at her
frst-born's grave, or closing the eyes Of
a child in death, displays a grief whose
very sacredness is sublime. But bitter,
heavier than the stroke, is the despera-
ton Of the son who rushes over a
crushed heart into vices which he would
chide, even from the abandoned and vile.

was instituted-is forgotten or unrealized,
because it has never been placed before
her as a motive, and her partner is as
ignorant and innocent of any actuating
principle in the conduct of her married
life as she is herself. His objections to
her expressed desires and wishes are all
arbitrary and egotistical. There is no
kind and impartial examination of the
facts in the case, presentation of the ar
guments against it, or cheerfully yielding
to what seems the best and wisest thing
to do; but there is assertion and dicta-
ton which arouses antagonism and
stimulates the bringing together of an
array of forces to meet them and thus
the contest begins Where it ends, the
divorce courts show The woman's
movements are good as weapons, but
they belong to state of warfare. They
are the outgrowth of the appropriative,
masterful and tyrannical spirit Of men,
and they will continue until justice, or
at least partial justice, has been done
They are based ON the principle in we'd
lock which made woman take her pipe
and her pot of beer in public house every
evening that her husband did so, until
he became so disgusted at the sight that
it induced him to break up his own habit.
i have little faith in the moral power of
women effecting any benefcent change
through suffrage, when they obtain
vote; because, in the exercise of the bal
lot, intelligence counts for nothing. 1t
is an instrument more powerful in the
hands of the ignorant and prejudiced
mass than in the hands of the educated,
thoughtful and tolerant few. But the
effort to obtain it, to lift themselves to
higher place, to take part in the public
and activities of life, will edu-
cate and ennoble women Marriage in
the future may be less universal, but it
will be more perfect than it is now, be-
cause it will be entered into by both |
parties from the highest motives of duty |
and affection. Men and women who |
wish to live their own lives" as the
phrase is, will not marry, or will consent
to that partial union which admits of in
dividual freedom The doctrine of in
in marriage would be bet
ter than the doctrine of free divorce, for
it would put the idea of duty and obliga-
ton nplace of selfshness and the indul-
gence of caprice and inclination. Duty
IS the noblest kind of inspiration. 1t is
hat consent of our reason and judgment
20 our acts which separates us from ami
nal life, governed only by its lawless in
;tincts

Brigham Young on the New Gov
ernor OfUtah and the CulIOm Bill

From the Salt Lake Telegraph - Brigham
! Young's 0rgan.I
Personally we entertain no dread
thoughts of either serious disturbance "
or "open war Past experience has
taught us that there is Providence in
| the affairs of men, and with that as
surance we can listen to good deal of
bombast serenely come from whom il
may. To the war expectation now so
prevalent in the East there can only be
disappointment, and General Shafer is as
likely to be as proper Governor, as far
as that is concerned, as any other man.
There can be no war with Utah on any
pretext whatever. Some of us may be
silly enough to say ugly and provoking
things, and dreamy enough to anticipate
all sorts of magnificent results; but there
is heap Of hard sense out here in the
Rocky Mountains, among both men and
women, and the talk of war anywhere is
to-day regarded as sheer balderdash. We
have no personal acquaintance with
General Shafer, and, therefore, can dis
interestedly tender him the advice to pay
no attention to the folks down East on
the war question, but to come out here
when he is ready, mind his own business,
and he will get along well enough.
His wisdom and discretion" Ignorance
or obstinancy," should he have either of
these commodities even in superabund-
ance, will make not whit of difference
to affairs out here; still we should like |
him with the former rather than with the |
latter. STILL be it either way, progress
and development are written on the I
r
norinclination for war, and we won { have 4
it; it don't pay.
Should our citizens be attacked-be they
poor or rich, high up or in low estate
whatever we can we shall defend them
with the truth. 1t is pretty generally
supposed that the Government designs
testing this question of polygamy at no
distant day In this case the Telegraph
will have something TO say, always as
suming the position that what is consti-
tutional should be obeyed, what is not
must be resisted We will not, however,
anticipate in this or anything else, but
hold ourselves in readiness to defend
whatever we believe to be right.
In relation to the Cullom bill, now
pending. in Congress, the Telegraph
says:
"The last news from Washington is
very encouraging to the friends Of this I
bill II is said that the
bill is sure TO pass the House, and, though
/ may be retarded in the Senate, still
is very hopeful. We have no I
dea that Mr. Cullom has much TO do I

ectionment in this city. He will, how

Fhile they may be opposed TO polygamy

and outrage in the Cullom bill to defeat
its purpose. When men fight the faith
or the institutions of the people of Utah
fairly we have no objection to their
course; but when they resort to inquisi-
tions we are opposed to them, and shall
do our best to expose their folly and
wickedness."

THE SINGING LESSON.
BY JEAN INGELow.

A nightingale made mistake;
She sang few notes out of tune;
Her heart was ready to break,
And she hid from the moon.
She wrung her claws, poor thing,
But was far too proud to speak;
She tucked her head under wing,
And pretended to be asleep!
A lark, arm-in-arm with thrush,
Came sauntering up to the place;
The nightingale felt herself blush,
Though feathers hid her face;
She knew they heard her song,
She felt them snicker and sneer;
She thought this life was too long,
And wished she could skip year.
"Oh, nightingale |" cooed n dove,
"0h, nightingale what's the use;
You bird of beauty and love
Why behave like goose?
Don't sulk away from our sight,
Like a common. contemplate fowl;
You bird of joy and delight,
Why behave like an owl?
"0nly think of all you have done:
Only think of all you can do;
A false note is really fun
From such bird as you;
Lift up your proud little crest;
Open your musical beak;
Other birds have to do their best,
You need only to speak"
The nightingale shily took
Her head from under her wing.
And giving the dove look,
Straightway began to sing.
There was never bird could pass;
The night was divinely calm;
And the people stood on the grass,
To hear that wonderful psalm.
The nightingale did not care;
She only sang to the skies;
Her song assembled there,
And there she fixed her eyes.
The people that stood below
She knew but little about;
And this story's moral, know,
If you'll try to find it out!
