The course of true love does not
run any more smoothly out in Utah
than elsewhere in this varied world.
Aggie McMurrin married Royal
Young, step-son of the late Brigham
Young in 1881. Royal had a couple
of other wives, and he is under bonds
for polygamy. Now they have arrest
ed Aggie for perjury, because she
swore out Registration papers in 1882
swearing that she had not married in
polygamy. This is sad occurrence
for poor Royal, to have his family
circle thus ruthlessly invaded and
should they get himself and Aggie
both into prison, what is to become Of
the rest Of the wives.

There was terrible gas explosion

he was standing at the bar Of a saloon
is evidence that it did not.

The Troublesome Apple!

About the first trouble of which we
have any record as having happened to
woman, was caused through fooling with
an apple. 1t got the whole family into
serious embarrassment. There were as
sociations connected with the apple that
seemed predestined to get people into
trouble from the very start, and along
down the ages the apple has never gotten
to be entirely harmless. On last Thurs
day night Mrs. W. T. Price said to a
friend, upon going home from church, 81
wonder what will happen to bring us to-
gether again on tomorrow" Something
did happen, on that very night. The lady
was eating an apple when she became
choked upon a piece of pairing, or hull
from the core, the particle entering the
wind-pipe, and causing great apprehen-
sion to those present, as a physician had
to be sent for. and the lady suffered in
tensely. 1t is said that she had very
narrow escape from choking to death.

There is said to be man in the
Ironton Jail, charged with burglary,
who has served four terms in the PEN
itentiary for the same offence. Such
cases as this have tendency to shake
ones faith in the reformatory qualities
of the penal institution.
When a criminal once gets into the
prison, and becomes used to the mode
Of life prevailing there, the terror of
going is in large degree removed.
Thus it is that people get the idea
that punishment does not check
crime-the argument used by the op-
ponents of capital punishment. But
then, after all. though it may cost
something to try and convict him,
this man will not break into nybody's
house while he is in the Penitentiary.

Hon. S. S. Cox-better known per-
haps as ''Sunset" Cox-acquired this
title through an article written while
he was editor Of the Ohio Statesman,
describing beautiful sunset scene.
The Columbus Dispatch says the
foreman Of that office remembers the
writing of the article, the editor lean
ing over the imposing stone, and, after
calling attention to the beauty of the
sunset, began hastily scribbling the
article. Now comes a correspondent
of the Dispatch and intimates that he
has an old Cincinnati paper, printed
before Mr.. Cox's newspaper days, con-
tanning language Of striking similarity.
Is it possible that the title "Sunset'
is a stolen honor? What protection
will there be for any great genius, af-
ter while. The authorship of Beau
tiful Snow" was lost in chaos; dis
cussion Of many months was carried
on between two New York writers as
to which was the author Of "Tear
Down That Haunting Lie;" and now
come the vampires Of the literary
field and attempt to tear, with robber
hands, the laurels from the brow of
Sunset. What incentive to noble
effort, or what inspiration for crown
ing work, will avail after a while.
Must great man wear his life out,
and get no credit for the wear and
tear of his existence?

The Marysville Tribune tells Of a


farmer who, year ago had to buy
corn, at sixty cents bushel. He de-
clared that the price was entirely too
high-in fact out of all reason. Six
ty cents for corn? Who ever heard of
the like? But it chances that, in the
circle of one short year, the order of
things is reversed. Now the same
farmer has four hundred bushels of
corn to sell, and the most that he can
get for it is forty cents a bushel.
With equal emphasis he declares
that the price is entirely too low. He
could not think of selling his corn at
forty cents. This illustrates, very
forcibly, a human frailty too often
met with. We are prone to forget,
In the ordinary transactions Of busi-
ness affairs, that there are others than
ourselves who have business interests.
When we buy at a high figure, we
are enabling somebody to sell at a
high figure. When somebody has to
buy from us at good price, we reap
the advantage Of his emergency. The
calamity of the Union County farmer
reminds us of a Jackson County farm
er, many years ago, who had some very
fine wheat. The price of the grain
began to go up in the market eighty,
ninety, one dollar, dollar and fifteen
cents. "When it gets to be dollar
and quarter" said the man, "I'll sell.
but not till then" He contemplated
his fine wheat, and waited and watched
for the price at which he would un-
load. But, just on the eve Of the con-
summation of his hopes, as it seemed
to him, the market took sudden tum-
BILE, and he was compelled to sell at
what was a real sacrifice of twenty
five or thirty per cent, compared with
the prices few days previous.
When that man was refusing a dol
lar for his wheat, suppose he had been
compelled to buy at that price, would
it not have caused him to denounce
the price as outrageous?

The people Of this country would
certainly experience a feeling Of relief
If those officers who were in high
place as Commanders at Shiloh,
would abandon their long-drawn-out
controversy about that somewhat un-
fortunate affair. No matter what
Gen. Sherman, Gen. Grant, or anybody
else may say relative to that battle and
its details, some facts stand forth, in
disputably ,as matters of history, which
no amount of writing, years and years
afterward, can change in any way.
Gen. Sherman was utterly, entirely
surprised, at Pittsburg Landing.
Even when notified by his troops
that they were attacked in force, he
treated the information with con-
tempt, and rode out himself to ascer-
tain the cause Of the scare-as he sup
posed-of his troops.
He was compelled to beat a retreat,
in person, and was really one of the
very first to turn his back to the ad-
vancing Rebels-not from motives of
fear-but because duty called him
elsewhere, and that quickly. The
trouble was, the Union officers map
ped out, in their own minds, the move
ments of the Rebels, but they moved
according to their own plans.
Hence the Rebels got where Sher-

A Higher Destiny.

It can not be that earth is mans abiding place. It can not be that our life is a bubble cast upon the ocean of eternity, to float moment upon its surface and then go into nothingness and darkness forever. Else why is it that the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the tenn ples of our hearts are forever wander ing abroad unsatisfed? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over with beauty that is not of earth, and then pass of and leave us to muse on their faded loveliness. Why is it that the stars which hold their mighty
 estival around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory And finally why is it that the bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and then taken from us, leaving the thou sand streams of the affections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts We are born for higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades where the stars will be spread out buslike
 the islands that slumber upon the bosom of the ocean, and where the beautiful beings that here pass before US like visions will stay in our presence for ever.-GeOrge D. Prentice.

 "Dar's no need ob yer staying awake at nights and worrying on dat account Oars no hurry about de rent"
 "Yes, dar is. jess come ter tell yer dat I ain't got no money to pay de rent, and I has done moved my tricks out, so you is bound to lose de rent. Now, you kin stay awake and do de worryin', and I'll go home and do de sleepin' now. I has got dat offen my mind. -Teras Sifti7agS.

Billions of Matches.

Europe, continental and 1nsuIar, con- sumes ?, 900, 900 matches daily. Assum- ing that each several act of ignition oc- cupies the brief period of one second and we have reason to believe it is rarely performed in a shorter time-it vii be obvious to every ready reckoner that 555, 900 hours of each successive day are spent by the inhabitants of Ea- rope in striking matches. There is food for much speculation in the fact that Europeans dispose of nearly sixty-four years per day in scraping tiny sticks tipped with some infammable compost tion. It IS also interesting to learn that 400, GOO cubic yards of timber and 42O.- 900 pounds weight of phosphorus are in annual request for the manufacture of the 73O,OO0, ,0O0,000 matches used up by Europe in year.

What Frightens People.

What we don't know is what frightens us. Soldiers can brave the known ter TOTS of the battlefield. Sailors dare the known perils of ocean storm, of fshipwreck and of collisions with icebergs. But soldiers who have dared the dangers of . hundred battlefeIds have been terri fled at the apprehension of a ghost and dared not sleep in @ house reputed to be @ haunted house. The brave sailor, who will stand by the ship and do his duty in battle and in storm without finching, Is terrified by some superstition of an unknown terror, the unlucky ship, or the beginning of @ voyage upon Friday, and nothing can reassure him against the vague evil. The old fathers of New England were bravemen in defend. ing their homes from the Indians and the French, but when 1t was rumored that many among their own people had made covenants with the devil, when mysteries was believed to be brought upon the subjects by those who had made this alliance with the powers of darkness, it sent terror to the heart which made these good and Just-mean- ing men as cruel as death. Science has explained the phenomena, where they have not been proved as fraud, and with the knowledge of natural laws and the objects of nature the terror has been very greatly diminished. Knowledge is the antidote to fear, but the sad fact re- mains that only part of the people in the most enlightened community have knowledge even of the rudimentary sort which enables them to see that this is a universe of law and not of mysterious terrors. The people who do know are not generally aware of how much of the old-time superstition of tine days of witchcraft remains.- Netc6aHyport Herald.

ODE ON THE AssAssINATIOEs

"A prize offered by a London paper for the bes poem on the assassination of President Garneld wa awarded to the author of the foIowing:] veil now, O, Liberty, thy blushing face,
 At the fell deed that thrills startled worla; While fair Columbia weeps in dark disgrace,
 And bows in sorrow OCT the banner furled. No graceless tyrant falls by vengeance here,
 Meath the wild justice of the secret knife; Nor red Ambition ends its grim career,
 And expiates its horrors with its life. Not here does rash Revenge misguided burn,
 To free a nation from tn assassin's dart; Or reused Despair in angry madness turn,
 And tear its freedom from a despots heart But where blessed Liberty so widely reigns,
 And peace and plenty mark smiling land; Here the mad wretch its fair white record stains, And blurs its beauties with " bloody hand" Here the elect of millions, and the pride
 Of those who own his mild and peaceful rule Here Virtue sinks and yields the crimson tide, Beneath the vile unreason of fool! But Heavens hand hath stayed the erring ball And spared life as virtuous as rare; Yet that such deeds whisp'rng world appau Is Heavens mystery and mans despair.
