To me her case was clear as daylight.
She had lived among the Mormons, as
a young lady, long enough to become
familiar with their mode of life and
thought, and when she saw the young
man she had lost the instructive inn
possibility of falling in love with man
already married. So she dallied with
the idea, and probably having no posi-
tive opinions or principles of her own,
adopted those which admitted the in
diligence of her inclination and her
fancy. But the very slight veneer
ing of Mormonism by no means inter-
fered with the natural workings of the
heart. She was no more really Nor
mon in Salt Lake City than she had
been on the Atlantic coast. She was
Mormon enough to be the well-beloved
and petted wife of man who already
had three wives for whom he had no
special affection, and with whom he
did not live but she was not in the
least Mormon enough to spare any of
his love to be bestowed on a successor
to herself. She had established with
him an essentially homogeneous house
hold, and her religion had as little to
dc with her life as in our straitest
sects Of orthodoxy. do not think the
lady was hypocrite ; but she was
thoroughly self-deceived. She had fol-
lowed the promptings of a heart not
too much guided by principle or intel
lect. And while, on theory, one must
condemn her far more severely than
those miserable women who were rear.
ed in their faith or were brought to it
from the mire of humanity, practically
it must be confessed that the only love
light of Utah shone through her clear,
soft ewes.

A Meeting af cr Twenty Year Separation.

An interesting drama was enacted
the other day in a baggage room
in the Union depot. Old Aunt Sophia,
the stout, good-natured colored woman
who sweeps out the Union depot and
waits upon the female passengers in

with her hands behind her against a
post in the baggage room. Two colored
men entered. One was a well-known
express wagon driver +; the other was
a well-dressed colOred man about forty
or forty-live years of age. Police
Officer HanlOn followed them into the
room and pointed out Aunt Sophy.
"Aunt Sophy, does We know dis
man :" inquired the express wagon
driver.

cording to the calculation there will
be room in Heaven for every one Of
them. The singular calculation APP

he measured the city with the reed

and the breadth and the height of it

100000 feet, which being cubed is
49G,792,068, 900, 000,0 900, 900 cub,
cal feet; the half of which we will
reserve for the Throne of God and
Court of Heaven, half of the balance
for streets, and the remainder divid-
ed by 1896. the cubical feet in a
room sixteen feet square and sixteen
feet high, will be 80, 32l ,S43, So,
600, 900 rooms.
We will now suppose the world al

900,000,000 Of inhabitants, and a
generation will last 335 years

that the world will stand 100, 900

such worlds, equal to this number OF
inhabitants, and duration of years,
then there would be room lG fee;

for each person. And yet there
would be room.
