A Timely Book.

There is no subject so prominently
before the American people at the
present time as that of Mormonism.
1t is the topic of the hour. The
newspapers and magazines are filled
with it, the ministers preach about it
and it is the topic of private CONVEX
sation. The last article of the late
DR.. Bacon was 1.-THE Utah Problem
and was left unfinished with the ques-
ton, ''What are you going to do about
it?" Most people think they know
all about it, but even the best inform
ed, after perusing the pages of the
new book, 1.-THE Women of Mormon
ISM" have to confess to feelings of
establishment at the iniquities there
portrayed, and to admit that the half
had not been told.
Miss Francis f. Willard in the In
PRODUCTION to the book, says: 81 have
read its pages with thoughts too deep
for tears. Some sulphur shrouded
planet may have a vocabulary fiendish
enough to fifty characterize what they
reval, but mere English is only the
vocabulary of a prating parrot in
presence of such pathos and such
VICE."
ssThe Women of Mormonism, or
the Story of Poligamy as Told by the
Victims Themselves" is an authentic
work. 1t is edited by a lady in Salt
Lake City, Utah, who has long been
one of the leaders in the Anti-Polyg-
amy cause. She relates the stories OF
the s'victims" almost in their own
words. The persons who made the
statements, many Of whom are still
in the Mormon church and see no
way out, are willing to make private
affidayits to the truthfulness of their
accounts.
This work is to make a great stir
in the country; every n who hears
of it wants to read it. 1t is sold only
by subscription so as to have it cir.
eulated IS widely as possible. To
places where no agent can be secured

THE WIDOWS sTRATAGEM.

THE WIDOWS sTRATAGEM.
The Widow Brown lived at the end of street,
In house of her own, snug and clean;
While in grim lodging just over the way
There resided the Bachelor Green.
Now, Widow B. looked upon Bachelor G.
With heartily covetous eye,
And she said to herself: "ro win Mr.. G.
must really most earnestly try.
The bachelor met the widow full oft,
And quite frequently thought, when alone:
"That widow would make the most sensible wife
OF all women I ever have known"
But Green was so bashful, he still held aloof
From the prize he was anxious to take;
Whilst wondered she still what course to pursue
Whena raid on his heart she should make.
Till the widow one day in crossing field,
Met with poor Mr.. Green at the stile,
They stood they met one each side of the fence,
And pleasantly talked for while.
Now the bachelor felt the occasion was fine
TO disclose to the widow his mind
Whilst she mentally vowed the capture OF Green
Ere the evening sun had declined.
Still they spoke of the neghbors, the crops, and
the heat,
But the subject so close to each heart
Neither one could approach so sunset came on
And twas time that the couple should part
She mounted the steps and began to descend
Ere he could enough courage command
To step bashfully up, and bashfully say:
"Mrs. B, won't you give me your hand ?"
Now here was chance, and ifit be lost
No one knew if twould happen again;
The widow thus reasoned the moment she stood
On the steps, at the end OF the lane.
So she modestly bushed then said: "Mr. g.,
You re so sudden-I never would guess
That you'd ask it of me-my hand !-goodness me!
Have my hand9 o! most certainly-yes!
Mr. G. was astonisbed on hearing this speech
Still he felt the mistake not aniss,
And gladly surrendered-aye growing so bolC
At his conquest to seal with kiss.
Thus twas quickly arranged and Mr.. G. spared
The pain Of proposing out-square.
IT'S years since the weddng-and yet they are
shown
As the model matrimonial pair.

A NEW WEST POINT ARRIvAL.-A cores
pondent of the Providence Press, describing
life at West Point says: The prospective can
didate who, armed with his credentials az
rives at 'sthe Point" is met at the wharf by a
sentinel, who conducts him to the adjutant's
office, there to record his entrance into small
and great tribuations. The poor fellow, VINO
has lust left the endearments of home, be-
comes. for time, one of an inferior caste, to-
ward whom, too often, the finger OF derlslonls
pointed, and over whom the drill-master -four
ishes, with snObbish zeal, his brief authority.
He is the subject of low taunts and silly at
tempts at wit on the part of elder cadets. He
is called a ''thing, pa conditional thing" and
'plebe; :" he is crowded, five i'll room, with
a floor and blanket for bed; he is twice or
thrice day squad-drilled in ''eyes right" and
cleft face" in ''forward march, and in the IN,
tricate achievements of ''mark time" and
'sabout face,n is drummed up and drummed
down, drummed to meals and drummed to bed,
all with arithmetic for diversion. That is,
indeed, harsh ordeal for a young man who Is
not blessed with good nature and good sense,
but with these excellent endowments 1t soon
and smoothly glides Oh with harmless
memory.

THE ANDRE MoNUMENT.-The monument
projected and erected at Tappan, n. Y, by
Cyrus w. Field, to the memory OF Major
Andre and which was blown from its bases
several weeks ago by dynamite, has toppled
over, and now is only monument to MI.
Fields folly.
The latest ebulition of the sensitive Tap
panians is the following inscription suspended
on a pole, placed on the site of the demolished
monument ''In memory of Cyrus W. Field,
humanitarian and philanthropst, in whose life
was exempliied the broadest, purest and
most perfect love, and about whose soul were
entwined virtues the most beautiful, asplra-
tions the most noble and sentiments the most
tender and sympathetic, rs token of the ap-
probation in which they hold that godllke
charity which enabled him, in obedience to
the Divine Injunction and despite the infirm-
tiles of the flesh, to love his enemies and to
do good to those who despised him, this mon
ument has been reverently raised by his felloW-
citizens of the great republic which gave him
birth and in the perpetuation OF whose free
institutions he expended his life, his fortune
and his sacred honor, with the hope and be-
lief that all who strive to follow IN his Illus
trious footsteps will receive like reward IN
life and similar honors in DEATH" .....
