Serious Words No, 2,

The few lines under the head OF Serious
Words" in last weeks paper, have been very
thoroughly discussed Many of the best
young ladies and gentlemen, and we believe
all parents endorse the article. Some of
the gay boys and girls, who want all the
fun that life affords, don't like the article,
and some have asserted that it is disgrace
full to publish such things. Not so bad as
some of the reports that are being passed
around. The reports, of course, are not
general, and we suppose in most cases are
false, but they are damaging The char
acter of young lady is as easily soiled as
is the whiteness of the snow, and when once
stained by the tongue OF Islander, naught can
cleanse it. Therefore it behooves girls and
young ladies to carefully consider their
every word and act, and to be equally
cautious in selecting escorts. Those who
choose to do as they please, without regard
topublic opinion,may expect people to talk.
Brookhaven has, for years past, been no.
ted for its good society, but the lines that
once marked it, seem fading away. They
should again be drawn to their utmost ten
sion. A reformation is badly needed.
We learn that some of the sterner sex are
disposed to discuss Serious Words" in the
public prints. We will checrfully give
them all the space they want in THE LED
GER, reserving only theright to reply, and,
if necessary, be more pointed and explicit
than heretofore. The gauntlet is down. Let
him that is without reproach take it up.

EpIToR LEDGER -

The people of the United States are be-
ing aroused to sense Of their duty in re-
gard to Mormonism, a great evil which
they have permitted in one Of our fairest
Territories for years, and they are now tax
ing steps to put it down. Prominent par
ties in New York are urging every clergy
man in America to help to secure as many
signatures as possible to the following petit
ton to Congress:
eve, the undersigned, citizens OF the
United States, having long and impatient
ly observed the spread Of polygamy in
Utah, and, more recently, in the adjoining
territories, and believing it to be crime OF
great enormity, hostile to our form OF gov
eminent, in deadly conflict with modern
civilization and in the last degree destruc-
tive to morals-its history in Utah having
been marked by disloyalty, perjury, murder
and other crimes and whereas bigamy is
Il punishable crime in all other parts of
our nation and believing that Utah ought
not to be an exception, we do hereby petit
ton our Representatives in Congress to
adopt as speedily as possible, such vigorous
Nh' SIc HeCSSSdUS 10
destroy, root and branch, the monstrous
evil, even ii it should be found necessary
To amend the Constitution of the United
States to secure the end we seek"
This, in my judgment, is wise move
mcnt as Mormonism is spreading not only
in the territories adjoining Utah, bat in
many parts Of our country and also in Eu-
rope and in many islands Of the sea, ap-
pealing to the basest passions and the SUI
perstitions of the most degraded and ignor-
ant for its advancement; and ask you, Mr..
Editor, if you favor the movement to put
itdown, to publish this notice, in order that
the matter may be brought before the peo-
pie of our town and community. Copies
of the petition will be found at all the drug
stores in Brookhaven, and every citizen of
the town and vicinity, white black, male
and female, who is in favor of the move
ment to put down that which bids fair to
be great curse to the nation, is requested
to call at once and sign it, or do so through
a representative. We wish to send on the
petition by the tenth OF the coming month
february. J. w. McLAURIN,
Pastor OF the NJ. f. Church South

market-house case, verdict was given in
favor of the road. Unless the case is ap'
pealed the market-house must now come
down. We learn it is the intention of the
road to erect an elegant passenger depot or
the lot. 1t would be more ornamental and
useful than the unsightly market-house.

The Corporation Petition.

A petition has been sent to our Represen-
tatives, numerously signed by the people Of
Brookhaven, asking that a blu be passed
to abolish the salaries.of the municipal off
GERS of this place, and to prevent the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen levying a tax on
property in the corporation. The bill asks
that the Mayor be restored to the office Of
ex-ofioio Justice Of the Peace. 1t is not
intended to abolish the corporation, but pro-
yides that the city officers shall only receive
as payment for their services the perquisites
oftheir offices. We are disposed to think
the measure good one.
