Origin Of Familiar Phrases.

You cannot say boo I TO u goose. 81
When Ben Jonson, the dramatIst, VIA
introduced 10 noblcman, the peer was
30 struck with his homely appearance
that he exclaimed, What you are Ben
Jonson? Why you look as II You could
not say boo I 10 goose" "Boor eE-
claimed the witty dramatist, turning to
the peer and making his bow.
"He's Il peg too low" Taking man
down peg, may be traced to the peg
ging, or marking the drinking cup,
which was introduced by st. Dunstan to
check the incorporate habits Of the
times, by preventing ono man from taxi
ing Z larger draught than his compan-
ions. But the device proved the means
OF increasing the evil IT was intended to
remedy; for the most abstemious were
required TO drink precisely TO peg or
pin, whether they could sobcrly take
such quantity or not.
"Blue Hon" is the nickname given 10
the State Of Delaware. The origin Of
the term is this: Capt. Caldwell, IN
officer Of the First Delaware regiment in
the Revolution, was very fond Of game
cocks, but maintained that no cock was
truly game unless its mother was a
"blue hem" AS he was an exceedingly
popular man, his regiment was called
"The Blue Hen, and the term was af

The First Mormon Marriage.

The first Celestial marriage" oc.
cured by stealth, on the banks Of the
Mississippi, near Nauvoo, Ill. Joseph
Smith "scaled y to James Noble second
wife. Mobiles first wife soon died of bro
ken heart, and the second wife went i'll
sane and also died. When Smith mar
ried Noble. the latter also married Smith
to Il second wife. The first Mrs. Smith
chung to the prophet until mob killed
him, and then married Gentle, and ut
last accounts was still living at Nauvoo.
In defiance of polygamy the examples of
Abraham, Isaac, jacob, Moses, Joshua,
David and Solomon are cited. In cor
roboration of the "Book of Mormon
we are pointed to the burned cities Of
Palenvue and Uxmal, in Central America;
to the mounds in the Mississippi valley,
and to other wellknown vcstiges of pre-
historic race. When good Mormon
dies who 4" has lived up to his religion"
and has had dozen or two wives and
NIFTY or sixty children, he does not be-
come mere angel, like an ordinary
Christlan-he becomes n god, with
world of his own to reign over. A Nor
man wife who opposes the polygamous
marriage of her husband goes to hell
and is destroyed. A Mormon who
obeys the mandates of the church in
most respects, but neglects to Ego into
polygamy," becomes mere angel,
wlo must be kind of celestial servant
to the gods and other angels. His wife
must share the same humiliating fate.
The doctrine Of "blood atonomcnt" is
simply this: If an apostate's throat is
cut, the spilling of his blood upon the
ground will save his soul. If he is left
to dio natural death his soul will go to
hell. A great many apostate souls have
been saved in Utah. This, in substance,
is the Mormon religion.
