The minister said last night. says he,
"Don't be afraid of givin';
II your life aint noihin' IN other folks,
Why, what's the use Of livin'Y
And that's what say to wife, says I:
There's Brown, the miserable sinner.
He'd sooner n beggar would starve than give
A cent towards buyin' q dinner.
inst tell you, q ur minister's prime, he Is.
But couldn't quite determine
When heard him givin' II right and LEFT,
just who was hit hy his sermon
OF course there couldn't he no mistake
When he talked of long.winded prayin',
For Peters and Johnson sot and scowled
AT every word he was sayin
And the minister he went on 10 sny,
There's various kinds Of cheatin',
And religions MS good for every day
AS II is TO bring to mcetin'.
l Idon't think much Of man that gives
The Lord Amens at my preachin',
And spends his time the rest Of the week
In cheaiin'. and overreachin'.
guess that dose was bitter enough
For a man like Jones to swaller:
But noticed he didn't open his mouth
For once, after that. tn boiler
Hurrah. says L, for the minister
OF course / said 1t quiet
Give us some more of this open talk
It'svery refreshin' diet.
snF ~ -.H
The minister hit 'em every time;
And when he spoke of fashion,
And a.riggin' out in bows and things,
AS woman's rulin' passion,
And a-comin' to church 10 see the styles,
l could not help a-winkin' l#
And a-nudgin' my wife and says l, 'that's
you," -4 EI
And l guess ii sot her tllinkin'
Says to myself: That sermons pat;
But man is a queer creation,
I'm most afraid that most of the folks
Won't take the application.
Now, if he had said a word about
My personal mode o. sinnin',
I'd have gone TO work 10 right myself,
And not set here a-grinnin'.
Just then the minister says. says he,
And now I've come 10 the feiers
Who've lost this shower by usin' theiI
friends
As sort of moral umbrellas.
Go home, says he, and find your faults,
Instead of huntin' your brothers;
Go home, he says, and wear the coats
You've tried TO fit for others.
My wife she nudged, and Brown he winked
And there was lots o. smilin',
And lots o. lookin' at our pew;
1t sot my blood a.biin'
Says l 10 myself, our minister
Is gittin' a little bitter;
I'll tell him, when meetin's out, that

From the Chicago Tribune.
THE SORRO ugS OF ANN ELIZA.

A correspondent of the New FORK San
recently interviewed Brigham Young,
and also Mrs. Ann Eliza Young who has
recently brought suit for "a divorce, and
from his narrative we are at last ena-
bled to get comparatively clear view
of the situation, and to realize the length
and breadth of this first out break in MIR.
Young's household, and the extent to
which Ann Eliza had been damnified
by her unfortunate marriage. The cor
respondent found Mr.. Young in his pri-
vate room in the Lion House, room
richly furnished, the floor covered with
soft carpets and hung with fine paint
ings, while the rich tables were strewn
with elegant ormolu ornaments. And
yet he was not happy. The correspond
ent at once entered upon his business,
and inquired if the divorce papers
were served upon him. He replied
in the affirmative. He had read them
through, but they were of no account
1t was only another attempt at black
mail. The men who were running the
suit wanted to get some of the Mormon
money, but they would not succeed.
Ann Eliza was always treated as a wife
should be treated. No stipulati ons
were made. She had no cause for com
plant. She had had bad advisers, and
had taken wrong step. With regard
to the legal aspects of the case, the
Prophet was certain it as put-up job,
and the complaint was made in Unit
ed States Court, which had no juris-
diction. The Territorial law conferred
the power to try such suits as these up
on the Probate Court alone, and Terri
torial laws are binding within prescrib-
ed limit until Congress annuls them
AS it was put-up job, however, the
Prophet had no doubt the case woula
be entertained in the United States
Court, and then he should feel it to be
his duty to charge Ann Eliza with adul-
terry, for which he had abundant and
clear proofs. The above is the substance
of the Prophets statement, so far as the
divorce is concerned. The conversation
did not close, however, until he had
freed his mind upon the subject OF the
Territorial efice-holders, whom he de
nounced in bitter terms as rogues and
scoundrels, who had demoralized tn,
whole Territory, filed their pockets witt
plunder, packed grand iuries, and wer'
| in general, "a set of God-forsaker
rascals," which is probably not far from
the, truth. bsaL gus ssaa

Next to the inquiry, What becomes
OF the pins? an interesting question
would be, What becomes Of the sons
of successful men? A few names and
few firms are IN the hands of the
founders, but these are exceptions.
The old name aud the old trade gen.
orally pass into the hands of Others
"Do you see that man shoveling coal?
Well, his children, and children like his
viii jostle your pampered sons and rule
this land" said an old New Yorker the
other day. The old names have ceased
in the pulpit. The famed men of the
bar seldom have successor. The emf
nent jurists carry their honors with them
to the grave. Merchant princes are OBJ
liberated. The reason Is clear. The
fathers laid Il basis of the business one
way and the sons built another. Men
who earned their fortunes by hard work
by diligence; that knew sixteen hours
toll by personal attention.; that were
their own book-keeper, salesman, cash
iers and porters, are followed by SONS
who do as little as possible: who dele
gate to others all the work they can,
and who know more Of the road than
the ledger. Famous hotel men who
were gentlemen, men of intelligence,
men who were the equals of the hest in
the land, and who never sunk the gen
tleman in their trade. Young men who
fling the example of their sires to the
wind find it easy to squander valuable
name, run through fortune quicker
than it was earned, and find themselves
while young, at the point from which
their fathers started. One thing is
quite marked in New York. 1t is the
fact that the heaviness is getting into
the hands of foreigners. The heavy
importers, the great bankers, and much
of the trade of value is slipping out of
the hands of Americans, as the trade of
England got into the power of the Lom-
bards.-Boston JournaI

The Official announcement of the be.
trothal of the Grand Duchess Maria AL
exandrovna only daughter of the Car of
Russia, to the Duke of Edinburgh,
second son of Queen Victoria, has
brought out an episode in the life of
the Grand Duchess, which is now the
chief subject of gossip in st. Petersburg.
1t appears that about two years ago the
Car convinced the idea of marrying his
daughter to the Duke of,,Edinburgh and
as preliminary step, sent for a young
English professor in the University of st.
Petersburg, named Swayne, to teach her
English. The Duchess Immediately
fell in love with her teacher, and in
formed him of it. For several months
he taught her English and she taught
him love, but one day the Car told
her he should shortly take her to a Ger
man watering-place to make the ac-
quaintance of her intended. She in
formed him that would be unnecessary,
as she had already given her heart and
hand to Mr.. Swanye. Thereupon she
was sent to her apartments, and Prof.
Swayne was summoned, and informed
by the Gar that he had better leave
Russia Immediately, which he did. The
young Duchess was inconsolable for a
long time, and swore to her parents she
would never marry the Duke of Edin-
burg. When she was taken to Ger
many she refused TO meet her intended,
and during her recent sojourn with
her mother in Italy she heaped continu-
al sights upon his head. Her repug-
nance, however was finally overcome,
and now instead, of becoming plain Mrs.
Swayne, she will soon be Duchess of
Edinburg. How much comfort the
Duke may derive from the alliance is
another consideration. The episode
shows that even a Cars daughter is
apt to be human.

He took this for conundrum, and

Then he asked; "would read?'
Says l, ''what have you got?"
He replied, Watts Hymns" "Rev-
cries by Moonlight" and "How to spend

Then he said, "yourg man look at

man got as old as he was he ought to

Said !, "you needn't think those hairs
are any sign of wisdom; it's only sign
that your system lacks iron, and l ad-

He took this for irony, aud what lit

A VERY GRAVE MIsTAKE.-The fol-
lowing originated, we believe, with a
Vermont paper: Tl.a6j .,i4.
A certain marble dealer residing not
hundred miles from Montpelier, re-
Gently received an invoice of grave
stones, upon some of which were in
scrbed sentiments of sympathy and
eulogy ready made for the fortunate per-
son whose tomb they were intended to
aesienate.E Among them was one with
an ihdkx finger pointing heavenward,
and nndef t,the motto: No grave there.
One evening, this dealer received an or
der for grave stone, the style and de-
coration of which was left pretty much
to his own Judgment, the price only be-
ing fixed. AS he had to leave the city
next morning, he hurriedly selected the
stone bearing the above motto. The in
dignation of the surviving relatives OF
Mr.. Graves, for whose cemetery lots
this stone was intended, when it wasre-
ceived, can be better imagined than de-
