Specimen Beauties of Polygamy.
Contributed to the Salt Lake Anti-Polypamv
Standard

In Sugarhouse Ward, two miles
south of Salt Lake City, lives good
Danish saint, who of course lives his
religion, and has several wives. 1t was
the duty of one of the plural women to
work on the farm and take care of the
cattle and mules. When net engaged
in other sanity avocations, it was the
husbands custom to sit on the fence,
holding a horsewhip in his hand like a
slave driver, and oversee the woman
when she was at labor in the field. If
she failed to perform the work accord
ing to his ideas or instructions, he used
to lash her like a refractory horse or
mule, in fact he often whipped her more
severely than he would his animals. for
be held a mule in far higher estimation
than he did a woman. ale could get
another wife any time, but it cost mon
ey to get mule.n Occasionally, when
there was not enough to keep her busy
on the farm, he hired her out as a house
servant, and always collected her wages
himself, asking quite a high price for
her services. She happened to be hired
to neighbor of mine, and one day
when be came for her wages he demand
ed an extra dollar a week because he
had to hire man to do her chores in
the field. This saint believed in polyg-
amy, because when one woman wore
out or outlived her usefulness as la

the round ball is run up on the roof by
electricity to inform Bostonians it is
exactly IL o'clock by Cambridge time,
&c.
Descending in the elevator, every
hall bristles with signs of business men,
Insurance, Mining and Coal companies,
lawyers signs, and in fact, all kinds OF
business is carried on in this building.
We can scarcely credit the porter who
tells us how many thousands visit this
building every week, but learn the
number has lessened since "Whitney's
Open Air Dining ROOMS" where the
wonderful mutton-chOp was served, has
been removed. We are told its vaults
contain immense stores of wealth, which
we credit, as we know nothing to the
contrary.
We enter the large, new Post Office
nearly opposite, and gladly make our
exit, after being jostled by the crowd OF
people ever surging in and out. There
seems to be considerable feeling here
about the interference of the mail SER
vice, owing to Congress failing to make
an appropriation for lighting public
buildings. 1t necessarily involves de-
lay, if not loss of mail matter, especial
ly of second and third class matter, and
compliments of a doubtful kind are
paid the Democratic Congress.
Should you desire to take beautiful
ride, go out Oh the Dorchester road,
past Hon. Marshall Wilder's, and other
palatial residences, where you have
glimpses of the harbor and can enjoy
the perfume of apple blossoms and Ii
lacs, and when you reach the quiet
town of Milton and find the manufacto-
nv of Bakers Cocoa, ascend the hill be-
You'd and enjoy one of the srandest
views in this section. A high wind
and brisk trot soon brings us back to
brick walls. No one knows what day
nor hour will bring forth this season,
on account of the sudden changes in
the temperature grOaning with the
sudden heat at night, and shivering
with cold in the morning, going out one
hour in the warm sunshine, the next
returning drenehed with the falling
rain. Some writer's attribute it to the
sun-spots which appear every IL years,
affirming that the season has opened
with sudden gales and tornadoes, to
which we shall be subject all summer
Another French Astronomer seems to
confirm Mother Shipton's prophecy
about the worlds coming to an end,
and predicts a conjunction of the supe-
rior planets, when the majority of the
people on this earth will perish. You
will meet now and then a firm believer
in this prophecy. q.

borer, he could easily replace her with
fresh one.
A few miles further from the house,
on what is called Mill creek, lives an
other sanity polygamist, whose three
wives are held to the strctest account
for every pound of butter, every chick
en- or egg on the place, and woe to the
adventurous one who dares dispose of
and master. The first wife, who is old
and crippled with rheumatism, once
longed for cup of tea, a luxury for
hidden the women, who were required
to keep the word of wisdom, although
the husband frequently INDUCED in
that and material comforts. She
watched an opportunity when he was
absent and traded a few eggs for the
wherewithal to make the coveted bev-
erage, which she enjoyed, as she
thought, in secret. The husband how
ever, found it out-a man in polygamy
has no lack of tale-bearers-and he
dragged the poor old woman to the
creek, plunged her under the water
and held her there until he thought her
sufficiently punished for her sin in
breaking the word of wisdom, as well
as for meddling with his eggs, and until
she promised never to repeat the Of
Tense. l have suppressed the names in
both of the above cases, although 1
could have given them, because l I'M
derstand that it is the policy of the
Standard not to show up individuals,
but to expose the workings and the de-
basing effects of the system. The first
incident shows in what estimation the
majority of men hold the women, and
to what depths of degradation the sys-
tenn can reduce a woman who allows
herself to be placed in such position.

Our Boston Letter.
BOSTON, Nav II, 1881

DOolON, NAY ~ ICOo'
Editor of the CdledoRian: Perhaps
there is no better place for gaining a
fine view of Boston and its HarbOr, than
by ascending to the top of the Equita-
bic Life Insurance Building, located
upon Milk and Devonshire streets; GO
ing up in one of the elevators, which
makes tips every few seconds, to the
seventh story, and mounting two flights
of stairs, when you find yourself upon
the fiat roof on the top, where beauti-
full and extensive view bursts upon our
sight. This view of the city is second
to ne other, unless the one from the
top of the State House and the method
of ascent much more agreeable than by
climbing so many flights of stairs. You
behold Boston Harbor and the adjacent
islands in front of you; while large
ocean steamers are lying at its wharves,
being loaded with stores for foreign
parts. Here and there the waters are
dotted with sails and craft of all kinds,
brigs, schoOners, tow and ferry boats,
either at anchor or plying their bust
ness. Fort Independence looks sternly
and inquiringly at you, as if warning
you of the proximity of Deer Island,
whose high walls of enclosure round its
buildings and grounds, inform you that
the occupants have restrictions placed
upon their liberties in order to reform
themselves. Long Island with it's white
cottages looks smilingly and invitingly
towards you.
But your eyes are dazzled by the
glimmer of the bright sunshine upon the
face of the pillows, so it is difficult t.
distinguish in the far distance, the
boundary line where sky and watel
seem to meet, and you turn from thi
grand and poetic spectacle, to the NOR,
practical one, which lies beneath you
And as your glance takes in the solid
substantial mass of buildings crowded
together in the business part of the city
and the fine, imposing structures which
have replaced the old ones consumed
by the fire a few years since, or looI
beyond at the high church spires an,
noble edifices on Back Bay, its Art Mu
scum, Technology Building and Natur
al History Rooms, or your gaze is ar
rested by the long shaft which mark
Bunker Hill or by Harvard's Classi
Halls, awakening feelings of sympath,
and interest, in your mind justify oil,
Bostonians in entertaining a pardona
BILE pride in their own city and it's sub
burbs; and after enjoying such birds
eye view of the city, yeu are prepare,
to defend, explore and visit its suburbs
and learn for yourself that it deserved
ly merits the name of having the mos
beautiful suburbs of any New Englan
city. AS you descend you pause a mo
ment on the floor below you to visi

FRUITS MEET FOR REPENTANCE.-It
is not coming into the inquiry meeting
that proves sinners penitence nor is
it what he says there about his sorrow
for his sins. The real test is in his con-
duct after he has made his confession of
sin. If he has wronged anybody, and
now sees if, let him make restitution
accordingly. If he has been in an evil
course, let him abandon it forthwith,
even if it brings him to poverty or to
disgrace to do so. True penitence for
sin ought to show itself in fruits that
nobody can have any doubt about. The
converted man ought to be more hon
est, more truthful, more generous, more
pure, more reverent than before he was
converted. If he sells apples or pota-
toes, they will now be as good at the
bottom of the basket as on top. If he
is carpenter, his contract work will
no longer need watching; but it would
bear it. AS servant, or clerk, or a
husband and father, he will give evil
dence, in his new life, that he is a
changed man-an improved one: His
course in little things and in larger will
bring forth fruits meet for repentance
worthy of his confession of sin, and of
his avowed sorrow for It'll. c.. Tram
