AN ITEM WHICH EVERY MAN SHOULD READ
We have probably all OF rs met with in
stances 10 which word heedessly spoken a.
gainst the reputation of female has been mag
nifed by malicious minds until the cloud has
been dark enough to overshadow her whole
existence To those who are accustomed, not
necessarily from bad motives, but from thought
lessness-to speak lightly OF ladies, we recon-
mend these hints as worthy of consideration:
Never use lady s name in improper places
at an improper time, or in mixed company
Never make assertions about her that you think
untrue, or illusions that you think she herself
would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not scruple
to make use CT woman's name in reckless
and unprincipled manner. shun them-they are
the very worst members of the community
men lost to every sense of honor, every feeling
Of humanity. Many good and worthy wo-
man s character has been forever ruided and
her heart broken by lie manufactured by some
villain and repeated where it should not have
been, and in the presence Of those whose little
judgment could not deter them from circulating
the foul and Dragging report.
A slander is soon propagated, and the small
est thing derogatory to womans character
will fly on the wind, and magnify as it clrculates,
until its monstrous weight crushes the poor un-
conscious victim. Respect the name Of woman;
your mother and sisters are women, and as you
would have their fair names untarnished, and
their lives unimbittered by the sanderer's Bit
ter tongue, heed the ills your words may bring
upon the mother, the sister or the wife Of some
of your fellow creatures.

Still onward like the gathering night went forth

Like billows, when the tempest sweeps across

A great sensation was caused at Salt Lake
City, on the 10Th, by an announcement in the
Journal that one. Eliza webb Young, seven
teenth wife of Brigham Young, had forever
left him, carrying off her furniture and person
al effects. Brigham, it is said, will endeavor
to replace the goods. Mrs. Young is at the
Walker House. and three leading lawyers are
about to institute suit for divorce and alimony
in large sum. Great revolutions are expect
ed concerning the inner domestic life of the
prophet Mrs. Young is enjoying the sympa-
thy of the Gentle ladies, and polygamous Nor

A Good Wife.

The following sentences from Archbishop
Seekers Wedding Ring" are worth reading
twice:
Hast thou soft heart ? 1t is of God break
ing. Hast thou sweet wife-She is Of Gods
making. The Hebrews have a saying, He is
not man that hath not woman" Though
man alone may be good, yet it is not good that
man should be alone. Every good gift and ev-
cry perfect gift is from above. A wife though
she Is not perfect gift, is good gift, is beam
darted from the Sun of mercy. How happy
are those marriages where Christ is at the we'd
ding Let none but those who have favor in
God S eyes find favor in yours.
Husbands should spread mantle of charity
over their wives inirmities. Do not put out
the candle because of the snuff Husbands wives
should provoke one another to love and they
should love one. another notwithstanding pro
vocations. The tree of love should grow up in
the midst of the family, as the tree of life grows
10 the garden of Eden. Good servants are a
great blessing; good children are greater
blessing but good wife is the greatest bless
ing and such help let him seek for that lacks
one ]; let him sigh for that hath lost one; let
him delight in that enjoys one.

PROFANITY. Why will men take the name
of God in vain ?" What possible advantage is
to be gained by it? And yet this wanton, vul
gar sin of profanity is evidently the increase.
Oaths fall upon the ears in the cars, and at the
corners of the street
There are among us now not a few who feel
simple assertion of plain or obvious facts will
pass for nothing, unless they swear to its truth
By all the names of the Deity, and blister their
lips with every variety of hot and sulphurous
oaths. IF we observe such persons closely, We
shall generally find that the ferceness OF their
profanity is in averse ratio to the afHuence of
their ideas.
We venture to affirm that the profanest men
within the circles OF your knowledge, are all at
flicted with chronic weakness of the intellect
The utterance Of an oath. though it may pre-
vent vacuum in sound is no indication of
sense 1t requires no genius to swear. The
reckless taking of sacred names in vain, Is as
little characteristic of true independence of
thought as it is of high moral culture. In this
breathing and beautiful world, filled, as it we're,
with the presence of the Deity, and fragrant
with its incense from Thousand affairs of praise,
it would be no servility should We. catch the
spirit of reverent worshippers, and illustrate in
ourselves The sentiment that the Christian is
| the highest style of man,
