Transforms the heart by hate opprest,
Till flowers the nOisome weeds succeed.

Two Mormon women met on the street q
few mornings since and talked so loud that
1T was impossible for those near not to hear
them. The talk ran as follows: Say, is il
true that Brother - has married q second
wife, ''Yes, it is true How do you
know 81 can see it in his first wife's
face" We never heard a more perfect or eff
fectual erragnment OF the Mormon Church

of a family had chiseled their lines in her
face, found solace in fresher and fairer face
