THE M0RM0NS.

Professor Tavler Lewis, LII. D.. ,
in late number of the Independent,
makes this good point
To make a real collision between
law and conscience, there must either
be a commanding by the State of
what it is supposed God has forbid
den. or a fOrbidding by the State of
some act which God has command
ed. Under either aspect, the rell-
glous plea of the Mormon in the
judicial proceedings against him is
without any solid foundation. Civ
ing him all the benefit of his sup
posed revelation. it IS, at the utmost,
only permission. 1t does not make
it obligatory on him to take even
one wife, much less two or many.
The State, therefore, may throw
around marriage any guards that
NAV be necessary. 1t may not only
limit a man to one wife, but it may
also annex conditions, whether of
age; character, means or anything
else that the good of society de-
mands, to his marrying at all. There
is no matter more intimately wrap
ped up in State polity, because there
is none, perhaps, on which the high
est well-being in society more large
ly depends If there is one social
institution, above all others, in res
pect TO which there should be ma
fional unity, it is that of marriage
the marriage of one woman to one
man. II there is one set of legal
proceedings that should be free from
a mischieyous local diversity, or that
demands a rigid uniformity in all
our States and Territories, it
is that which relates to the solemn
ization and the dissolution of the
most vital bond

marriage party-until it should be too
late for interference that is. until the
minister should have tied knot between

The schemes were not actually SO alb

gle Lee was tall. queenly woman, with
an almost masculine air, and, at that time
l had very slight form-almost effemi-
nate, so that in fact, there was really
but little difference on that point. Then
had light hair parted in the middle
and put bonnet on my head and few
persons will observe that am not of the
softer sex. These accessories also gave
me quite decided resemblance to Mag
gle Lee, especially as when in this case
the disguise was her own.
Then the day chosen for the runaway
match was an auspicious one. Mag
sie's pa was to drive her to D., a
small village near where she lived, and
there she was to join sailing party
down river, to the grove three
miles below; from which the party was
to return in the evening in carriages.
Our plan was. that should be waiting
in the village, and should 60 on the boat
with the sailing party. while Maggie
