WIFE NO. 10.
By ANN ELIZA YOUNG. Z

We have just received copy OF brill
iantly written work bearing the above
title, its author being Brigham fonng's
Rebellious Wife Il is certainly the most
wonderful story of suffering and sorrow
we have ever met with, and is justly
attracting a large amount Of attention.
Already it has been eagerly read by
thousands, and we heartily recommend i.
to the notice Of all.
She writes boldly and fearlessly, des-
cribing each event SO clearly as to bring
it wildly before the mental gaze Of the
reader. The formation, character aud
duties of tie remarkable DANTE bands !;
the terrible doings of the Mormons in the
guise of Indians, and the assassination OF
Joe Smith by the Missourians are among
the prominent polnts.of the opening chap
tiers. Their follow in regular order the
succession of Brigham Young, and the
crafty but cowardly means which he
adopted to raise himself to this position
the real inner life of the Saints. and the
shallow ness OF their religious views the
celebrated ''Revelation on Celestial
Marriage" with all Its wicked but absurd
details; the peculiarities of the Deseret
Costome, and how it was received by the
young ladies of Utah; the mole of manag-
| ing the affairs of the church, telling how
missionaries are robbed of their support.
! and helpless widows and children are
defrauded that bingham may enrich
himself. We would strongly emphasize
our own satisfaction with the way in
which Mrs. Young has opened up the
mysteries of the Utah Reformation, the
| Blood Atonement, the Prophets Hand
| cart Scheme; and the Mountain Meadows
Massacre; laying bare all the heart-rend-
| ing sorrows and sufferlngs which the
Prophet Brigham has inflicted upon his
unsuspecting followers, in clearer light
than we have seen them heretofore.
The interest deepens as we proceed ;
for in the closing chapters, the author
gives a thrilling and fascinating account
| of her own experience, in her marriage
with the Prophet Brigham, and her actual
lite in his Harem. giving all the details of
her sad lot, and her husbands shameful
treatment, both of herself and of the 9TH
er wives" and interest gives place to
delight as we read the account of her
wonderful escape from Utah, and the
countless ways in which Brigham has
been baftled in his endeavors to defa1ne
hel character, and rob her of the large
hearted sympathy SO universally accorded
her by the general spublic. She conclu-
des this most interesting volume with an
account of her suit for Divorce, and the
successes of her late Lecturing Tour, and,
altogether, it is most exhaustive and COM
! plete, and at the same time one of the
most delicately and beautifully written
works, which it has ever been our privi-
lege to meet with.
! 1t is illustrated with nearly two hum
dred engravings, the binding is among
the NEST handsome we bave ever seen,
and the general style and finish are all
that could be desired, rejecting the high
est credit upon Dustin, Gilman g. Co.,
Hartford. Chicago, and Cincinnati, the
we'll known publishers, from whose estab-
lishment it is issued.
This work is sold only by Agents. We
cordially recommend it, and earnestly
hope it will have an extensive salc in this
vicinity.
