The Old Ways and the New.


I've just come in from the meadow, wife where
the grass is tall and green;
l hoooied out upon my cane TO see Johns new
machine
1t made my old eyes snap again to see that mo-
NOW,
And heaved a sigh for the scv,b. 7 svr,-~o.,.
twenty years ago.
Many, and many's the dav I've moved. meath
the rays of the scorching sun.
Ill thought my poor old back would breal,
ere my task for the day was done:
often think ofthose days of toll in the fields
all over the farm,
IlI feel the sweat on my wrinkled brow. and
the ola pain come in my arm
1t was hard work, it was slow work, swinoip
the old scvthe then:
Unlike the mower that went through the grass
hke death through the ranks Of men
stood and looked till my old eyes ached' amaz-
ed at its speed and power
The work that it took Tue a day to do it done in
one short hour.

Horrors of Mormonism.

lou are struck by the great number Of
children everywhere here. Some houses
absolutely overflow with them some tables
ore empowered In 'Clive branches The
different sets get along very well together
generally, but that is little wonder after
the miracle of agreement between the mo-
theirs. Polygamy does not seem to spare
women the cares of maternity. l know q
Mormon household In which two middle
aged wives count about two dozen children
between them. | took two little fair-hair-
ed girls for twins, and they were sort of
polygamic twins, born almost at the same
time, in the same house, of different moth
ers. 1t seems to me that the children here
DO not look as happy and bright, as 10 our
towns fancy that the little girls at least,
have something Of tho subdued, repressed
look of the mothers. But some few of
them are pretty, and nearly all neatly aud
comfortably dressed. | hear that they
have very good schools, and are under good
discipline at home, answering TO the roll
call at night, and duly honoring their faith
or and their mother.
Many Mormon wives are sisters, and il
Is said they get along quite tremendously
lie very nature of women seems Ia be
changed here, aud turned upside down and
inside out. An intelligent first wife told
Gentle neghbor that the only wicked
feeling she had about her husband taking
second wife was that he did not take her
sister, who wanted him, or rather share
IN him. She would have liked to have
the property kept in the family. | saw
the other day, pair of young wives, sis.
tiers, walking hand-in-han dressed alike
10 every particular, of the same height and
complexion, and Of the same APPARENT age
Indeed looking so exactly alike, that il
was almost case of mitigatcd bigamy. It
must seem queer, oven to them, To saw
our husband as they used to say our pi
ano or 'our pony
Tho most singular unnatural marriages
here are those Of men with their wives
hers.-These are not unfreuuent. 1t
strikes me this Is a seditious plot against
lmmemoriai domestic authority, the most
ancient court of feminine appeal-that it is
an attempt to do away with mothersin-
law. When young wives are taken, the
three or four or five do not always become
one flesh, there Is sometimes rebellion and
even hostility on the part of the old wife
Occasionally husband objects to havinsa

with gentleman, Mr.. Il. Garfield, Of this

words. He says: have tried deep plow-

RAJ supply of Peruvian Guauo, and set it in
clover and timothy Says he, Il DO not,
if should do this would lose money
Instead Of this, turn about one head Of
stock to every two acres upon it, and force
them to eat the broomsage closely as it
grows up, and when find it necessary, /
feed them either with green fodder, which

CLIPPING HoRsEs 1T has been found
that the practice Of clipping the long, rough
coat of horses in the winter season is a
benefit in more ways than one. They do
not sweat so easily when at work, are less
apt to take cold, consume less feed, arc
more easily kept clean, and in better con-
