married man, the great Prophet of Nor
mon, seems destined to die forsaken.

bellcd against the authority Of her liege

says thi prophet is but a whitcd sepul-
cher, and she intends to proclaim his
wickedness from the Pacific to the At

Eliza Is an exception. Eighteen doing
spouses preceded her in the affections
of the too loving Brigham, and all who
live still cling TO him like the ivy TO the

none has yet complained. She only OF

temper and a shrewish tongue. The
