The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-02-12
Quite Enough Married.

An incident of crossing the plains, in
early days, was told by clever lady one
morning in Frisco. A Dutchman and
wife had travelled west and arrived at
Salt Lake, where they halted for a few
weeks. The Mormons got around the old
Dutchman and coaxed him to join their
ranks. After retiring one night under
their canvass covered wagon bed, the good
Dutehman broke the matter to his better
half, limiting to her that the Mormons
told him he had better ''stay, settle
among dem, and take some more wives
GLOW many wives you thinks you vant?''
asked Katrina. The Dutehman thought
five more would make a half a dozen
already" whereupol the old wife got
down her bodice, and slipped from it what
the old Dutchman called the sspreast-
board, yieh vas made from Wisconsin
hickory, was very tough" and she laid
the hickory fierce and fast upon the old
man, who shuffled out of the wagon and
fell in ditch. The old man got up said
his stomach it was very cold, but his
back it vas warm" His wife cried out;
How many wives you thinks you wants
now, old fool?' But the Dutehman felt
and expressed that one was enough.

The Eye.

The eyes show character. The eyes
of great warriors have almost always
been gray-their brows lowering, like
thunder clouds. Inventors have large
eyes, very full. Philosophers the most
illustrious have very large and deep set
eyes. Thepoets all have large, full eyes;
and musicians eyes are large and lustri-
Gus.
Button considers that the most beauti
full eyes are the black and blue We
think we have seen black and blue eyes
that were far from beautiful. Byron
says the gazelle will weep at the sound of
music The gazelle's eyes have been
called the most beautiful in the world,
and the greatest compliment an Arab can
pay his mistress is to compare her eyes
to a gazelle's. The power of the eye was
well illustrated in Robert Burns. He
was taken to Edinburgh very much as
Samson was taken to the Temple--tO
amuse the PhilistInes. He was brought
to the palace, where the great men of
Scotland were TO be entertained, and was
put in back room until the time should
come when they were ready for MIN.
When they were, he was brought in,
and having measured the company with
his wonderful eyes, he recited his immor
tai poem, SIS There, for Honest Power
ty?" Carlyle says that when he finished,
the mobiles and gentlemen COW cred and
shrank before his eyes. We think his
words had as much to do with it as his
eyes.
Cleopatra had black eyes. Mary Queen
of Scots had liquid gray eyes. Dark
eyes show power; light eyes, gentleness
and gray eyes, sweetness.
There is great magnetic power in the
eyes of several of the lower animals
The lions, the tigers, and the serpent's
eyes are all magnetic. 1t is we'll known
that the serpent will charm birds that are
flying above it, until in great circles they
will sweep down to the destruction which
awaits them.
A friend of the writer, doctor, was
one day walking in the fields, when he
saw an adder lying on rock. He drew
near to examine it, and presently looked
at his eyes. He was attracted by their
great beauty, and involuntarily stepped
forward two or three steps. Beautiful
light flowed from them, and seemed TO
battle the very coils of the serpent
Gradually he drew closer, until, Just as
he was almost within the reptiles reach,
he fell, feeling, as he said afterwards,
as though he had been struck by stone
When he became conscious, his head was
in friends lap His first words were,
Who struck me?" 'No one struck you,
doctor. saw you were charmed by the
snake, and struck it with a stone" He
had struck the snake, and the doctor had
felt the blow.

The London correspondent Of the
Tribune, IN speaking Of the condition of
the English peasant, says Of him "He
and his progeny do not live; they merely
exist. Poets have sung &nd moralists
sentimentally descant upon the British
peasant but strip him Of bis romance,
and look at him truthfully, and soberly
and he presents a melancholy spectacle.
He is merely a beast Of burden bis
condition is little better than that of q
serf, if indeed it is as good He grow
ell in poverty and wretchedness-often
with an insuficiency OF food. And scarce
Iy is he able to dream Of any more ele-
waited state of existence, for the social
forces by which he is beset almost en-
tirely preclude him from breaking
through the bonds which hold him. He
is drudge; his life is a life of drudge
ry; and from his cradle to his grave
it would be difficult to see where his eX-
istence could be illumined by a ray of
prosperity or hope. At the lowest rung
Of the ladder Of labor, he is forced to
remain In his thralldom, both intellect
ual and social, which the custom Of ages
has imposed upon his class.
