Praying to Neptune.

People balhe on all sorts of motives.
Yonder is a sweeL-faced, wifely wo-

long that they all surround her. "You

rebukefully, but mods his assent as
the little. tattish, blue-nosed lady, who
really fears and dlslikes the water,
comes up at last, worn out under the
kick of the waves and holding to a
rope; yet, disliking the sea, sshe still
outlasts all other bathers, from day to
day. Finally she disappears. "That

once a baby in that family. Heaven

A fortune came to the husband after
tha;-a fortune without an heir. The
memory of that first happy mother
hood, the fear OF that chldless hus-
bands affection departing unless she
could interest and detain him with
another babe, the obstinacy Of nature
in refusing the boon, and the desire Of
her own parents that she should bind
the fortune to their blood, led the lady
to the sea. ''Pray to old Neptune, "

Fat women make patient bathers.
Sometimes one sees here a really

beauty and admiration, she is swollen

Brigham Young leaves from six

all tithed and branded, out Of the in

unforbidding territory. He had made
a pretty careful distribution Of bis

he left special directions that none
