A difference OF opinion exists among per

plurality of wives, rs to the absolute justice
Of executing the sentence which has just
been pronounced by United States court
in Utah against Mormon convicted of
polygHmy.
"Tho man." says our ncighbor of the
7fiJHne, rcmarhinR ON the case, "who lives
openly in disubcdicncc Of statute which
has bccn in force seventeen years, knows
what he Is about But in the next pre-
ccding paragraph the Tribune says that
This may be regarded, therefore, as the
first conviction OF a Mormon"
IL would seem, from the Tribuc's own
showing aud IL is VIGOROUSLY the fact
that though the act prohibiting polygamy
has been on the statute book 30 many years,
it has been practically "a dead letter. 1t
cannot. therefore, with strict accuracy be
said to have been in force. ON the contrary
it may, with absolute accuracy, bp said not
to have been in force.
The question grows out Of this whether

Webster as a Farmer.

To the end of his long and busy life, Dan
iel Webster retained the love of the country
and of farming which he acquired in his
childhood 1t was always with joy that he
returned from the scenes OF his public Ia
bors and triumpbs to his cosy home at
Marshtield and his well-tilled fields at
Franklin. The quiet pursuits of the farm;
the planting of his crops the rearing of his
cattle, his sheep, his pigs, and hens; the
Improvements in cultivating lands; the care
Of his horses-all interested the great states
man fully as keenly as graver questions of
state and oratorical victories at the capitol.
Ono day he asked his son Fletcher and n
friend, who was visiting him, to go with
him TO the barn and his see his cattle. He
fed them with delight, and, turning to his
companions with Il smile, said:
81 like this. | had rather be here than
in tho Senate. 1t is better company"
When at Washington, engaged in absorb
ing duties as Senator or Secretary, he sell
dom let Il day pass without writing to his
farm overseers at Marshfisld and Franklin,
telling them just what to plant and what to
plow, what horses to buy, and what cattle
to sell. Webster discovered the value OF
kelp, or sea-weed, rs Il rich manure for land,
and brought it into general use in his neigh
borhood. He was probably as skillful a
farmer as lived in New England, and showed
the same wisdom in this as iu public affairs.

Why Women Work.

1t is curious that the world has yet to be
convinced that woman do not love work
any better than men do. They are credited
with dependence, with Il love of ease and
luxury, and yet when Il salaried position is
in question the woman has to be content
with less, because "she needs less" IL
cannot be because she spends less, for the
eNtravagance of woman WAS dwelt upon by
Solomon and jeremiah, and it is a song that
has never known u rest
The reason for the difference in wages is
generally found to be in the assertion that
women who do not need Il support, or who
have few responsibilities, crowd into the
paid occupations. There is an inconsistency
here. If she leves ease, why does she work?
If she spends more, how is ii she needs less >
The truth is that very few women work
from any other reason but necessity. Here
and there is one who loves independence,
works for it, and deserves it: and here and
there is another who would rather work
than forego certain luXuries, and she earns
them; but the majority of women work.
