condoned He is cut off from the
congregation of the saints, and has no
chance hereafter except by the medium
of blood attonement, which, in plain
language, is suicide. The man who
saves the church the trouble of killing
him has chance of heaven. For an
unmarried man to seduce an unmarried
woman il looked upon as lighter of

told that he had been guilty of Seduc-
ing girl, and he never would be
allowed again to associate with the
young daughters of Zion nor defle
them with his touch. was very much
struck by the remarkable physical
superiority of the Mormon girls over
the youths. The girls of the young
generation are, as class, well formed,
straight, plump and fairly good look
ing, with some few beauties among
them. The boys are all rickety, bow,
legged, knock-kneed, stoop-shouldered
or deformed 10 some way. | did not
see fine looking, well set-up young
man in Logan that l can remember.
They were a poor, scrubby lot. The
number of girl children, too, is great
ly in excess of boys. can't speak
as to births, but of those who live the
girls predominant. So far as breeding
and manners go, the Mormon youth
compares favorably with those of the
most refined American communities.
They are polite, welI-behayed, and in
society distant and formal as the most
cultured of young Americans. They
arc far superior in that respect to their
fathers and mothers. The result of
polygamy on the physical future Of
the Mormons is hard to determine, as
there is but one generation to use as
a guide; but don't think it will raise
a great race of people, or even dan
gerous one. The MormonS are becom-
ing great eolonizers. The young peo-
pie marry and then go out into the
Territories to found colonies. They
go in large bodies, and it is the boast
of the church that they breed SO
rapidly that Utah can send out annu-
ally colony of 5000 Mormons and
not miss them. | want to say here
that so far as | could learn there is not
a single Irish Mormon, nor do the
people ever remember the joining of
an Irishman to the faith. There is
only one Jew Mormon in the Terri
tory, He lives at Brigham City. !
Mormon cattle are rather scrubby;
their sheep are splendid, and their
horses the most hardy and enduring
animals have ever seen, and the best
saddle horses. 1t is nothing uncom-
mon to hear of team hauling light |
wagon over 100 miles a day. The
stock comes from the Indian Cayuses,
bred up by careful selection, They |
will ship several car loads OF fine sad
die horses to San Francisco in a short |
time, and whoever gets one will be
pleased.

Learning by Experience.

Exchange,
When a man fails in business OF
commits crime he is usually urged
to mediate upon the lesson which
experience has taught him.
The advice is good, for this stern
master does teach valuable lessons.
But his lessons are often given when
it is too late TO profit by them,
Though the axiom, "Its never too
late to mend" may encourage many
dcspairing ones, yet there are blum
ders which are fatal.
The following incident, related by
young man, illustrates this fact;
One raw day in March, few years
ago, had occasion to take the east
eTn.bound train from Boston, Soon
after leaving the city started to pass
into a forward car in search of a
friend. The wind was blowing gale,
and | had no sooner stepped upon
the platform than my hat, which | had
neglected to properly secure, was
lifted from my head and bore far
away. As the train thundered on |
caught sight of it just beginning
cruise in q neighboring pond. My
hair was blown about in a badly dis
'ordered condition, and, not little
mortified, beat hasty retreat into
the car, and took the first vacant seat.
Many of the passengers had noticedm
loss, and were enjoying hearty laugh
at my expense But an old gentle
man in the next seat kindly inquired
how far was going, and suggested
means by which ! might obtain a cap
for immediate use.
Not wishing to appear too much
troubled at my loss, | spoke Of it
lightly, adding that, at least, ] had
learned a good lesson.
"Oh, yes," said he "but that won't
bring back the hat.
His words made clear to me the
fact that lesson may be learned too
late.
Thousands violate the laws Of
health, When they are racked with
pain, they learn to care for the body,
but il won't bring back their health.
Many squander money and time.
When old they mourn over their
Bastefnlness but it will not bring
back to them the lost opportunity or
a full purse.
Regrets seldom bear frnit. They
commonly come too late in life. The
harvest il past and the summer is
gone. The golden pen Of wisdom
wrote, sRemember non thy Creator
~ The days Of thy yeuthN
Regrets will NOT harvest from bar
rem fields. II is empty air for the

THE STEWARD OF THE 8LEG1PoRE.

It was an ancient mariner
Who rang the front door bell;
With gold-laced cap and rolling gait,
His part he acted we'll.
1t was the lady Of the house
Who opened wide the door;
"My lady, am steward Of
The gallant Singapore.
"she's lying at East Boston now,
Where all the gallant Gu
Narders land their passengers;
I'm steward of her crew.
'sAnd l have here a case Of knives
Real plate and nary sham;
They've come ashore without the form
OF seeing Uncle Sam.
"They cost me Just five dollars, mum;
They're marked real triple plate;
bought them for party which
Have skipped from out the State"
Then up the subtle lady spoke;
~ know the Singapore;
And on her voyage TO Liverpool
She's six days out or more.
" An if you be the steward bold
She's given you the slip;
Ipray thee, gentle steward, go
And join another ship.
"These triple-piated knives have meier
Paid Uncle Sam the dues;
They make 'em in Connecticut
They're just the sort use.

lie beat quick retreat,
But sold his "Bmuggled" knives and spoOnt
