Reply Of Mormonism to the Chris
tianity of the East.

The San Francisco Alta of the l4th
has an article, and a tolerably pungent
one, on Indiana divorces. 1t tells

divorce there in last September,
alleging only incompatibility Of tenn

Of a reconciliation. She learned, also,
had the foregoing not satisfied her on
the point, that divorces are granted in
Indiana for almost any cause, and that
little proof is required, if the costs
are paid. THIS was set forth in the
letter she received. The Alta, in its
article, says: "Let Indiana throw no
more stones at Mormon polygamy 50
long ms she makes it possible for her
own citizens TO marry and be unmar-
ricd with as many wives as they
choose, only cxacting the payment OF
legal costs" Tho Ahd might have
added that the wives, By the same
rule, can also marry as many husbands
as they choose, for there is no more
difficulty, it appears, in wife getting
a divorce than q husband witness
the case Of Mrs. Mcfarland nee Miss
Sage, now the widow of Richardson.

IMMORTALITY.


by IN. HARTLEY.
With all the care and sorrow here
The woe, the sigh, the bitter tear
There is not that can anguish sooth,
BEYOND the blessed hope Of love
And Immortality.
To every might there is morn
placid calm to every storm
Dispense, ye clouns and, mournful night
Awake 10 plnry and sha lighs
OF Immortality.
0verburdcned, fallen low,
Cast beneath the sunset glow,
Man in bondage, chained by sin,
Satan strives his soul 10 win
From Immortality.
Know ye Of One, whose blood was shed,
To save the living and the dead
From losing that which God hath given
Beyond the grave--bright realm Of Heaven
Blest Immortality
There is a land--unknown, unseen
by living man--whose gorgeous sheen
Surpasses moon, star, sun, and light,
Where nillians, clad in spotless white,
Have Immortality.
