At Camp Scott thare was a lot of T.T. S. sojers, hosstensibly sent out there to jine the. Mor• mons but really to eat salt vittles and play poker & other sumwhat butiful but onsartin games. I got acquainted with sum of the of ficers. They look putty scrumshus in their 8100 coats with buttings onto um & ware very talented drinkers, but so far as fittin is consarned Ide willingly put my wax fingers agin the hull party. My desire was to exhibit my grate show at Salt Lake City, so I called on Brigham Young, the grate mogul amung the inormins axed his permishun, to pitch my tent and onful my banner to the jentle breezis. He looked at me in a austcer manner fur a few minits & sed, "Du you bleeve in Solomon, Saint Paul, the immaculateness of the Mormin Church, and the Latter day Revelashuns ?" Sez I, " .T.rne on it 1" I make it a pint to git along plesunt, tho I didn't know under the son what the old feller was driven at. He sed I mite show. " You air a marrid man Mister Young, I bleeve ?" sez I, preparin to write him sum free parsis. "1 hey eighty wives, Mister Ward, I ser tinly am marrid." " How du you like it as fur as you hey got?" sez I. He sed "middlin," and axed me wouldn't I like to see his famerly, to which I replide that I wouldn't mind minglin with the fair seek & barskin in the winnin smiles of his interestin wives. He accordingly tuk me to his Scarenm.— The house is powerful big & in a exceeding large room was his wives and children, which last was skuakwin and holler in enuff to take the roof rite orf the house.

" Which ?" sez I gittiu up & starein at him " Sealed, Sir, sealed." " Whare bowts ?" sez I. "I sed, Sir, that they was sealed !" He spoke in a traggerdy voice. "Will they probly continue in that stile to any grate extend, Sir ?" I azed. " Sir," said he, turnin as red as a biled beet, " don't you know that the rules of our Church is, that I, the Profit, may hey as meny wives as I wants ?" " Jes so," I sed. " You are old pie, ain't ?" you " Them as is sealed to me—that is to say, to be mine, when I wants um—are at present my speratooal wives," sed Mr. Yung. " Long may they wave," sez I seem I shood git into a scrape ef I didn't look out. In a private convershun with Brigham I lernt the follerin fax: It takes him six weeks to kiss his wives. He don't du it only once a yere & sez it is wus nor cleanin house. He don't pretend to know his children, thar is so meny on em, they all know him.

"I find that the keel's of marrid life way bevy onto me," sed the Profit, " sumtimes I wish Iclc remained single." I left the Profit and started for the tavern whar I put up to. On my way I was overtuk by a large crowd of Mormins, when they surrounded me an statid they was goin into the show free.

IS IT CHEAPER ? Th . it 'cheaper to build jails than it is to ed ucate your children in good morals; and thus prevent their becoming inmates of our prisons? What sort of men will those boys make who are allowed to frequent rum holes, to smoke, swear, and play cards ? Do parents suppose they can hold the reins of government over their sons, while they permit them to spend their evenings away from home, subjected to all the evil influen ces which are always concentrated in a ? Is it cheaper for a father to pay for the mischief which his sons do, than it is to buy them a library of books ? If parents would keep their sons contented at home, let them take good newspapers so as to furnish them with mental and moral food. Is it not cheaper to furnish good books, good papers, and plenty of them, for our . children, than it is to let them go without, Ind run the risk cf their contracting a taste for immorality, tobacco and strong drinks ? The daughters, too, should not be neglect ed. Take papers and magazines for them, give them something to think about and then they wiil not grow up silly, weak-minded women, who take no interest in anything but fashions, dress and flirtations, Ballet mentions one hundred and sixty three children endowed with extraordinary talents, among whom few arrived at an ad vanced age. The two sons of Quintillian so vaunted by their father, did not reach their tenth year. Eermogenes, who at the age of fifteen, taught rhetoric to Marcus Aurelius, who triumphed- over the most celebrated rhetoricians of Greece, did not die, but at twenty-four lost his faculties, and forgot all he had previously acquired. Pica di Miran dola, died at thirty-two ; Johannes Srcundus at twenty-five, having at the age of fifteen composed admirable Greek and Latin verses, and become profoundly versed in jurispru dence and letters. Pascal, whose genius de veloped itself at ten years old, did not attain the third of a century. In 1791 a child was born at Lubeck, named Henri Hoinneken, whose - precocity was miraculous. At ten months he spoke distinctly, at twelve learned the Pentateuch by rote, and at fourteen months was perfectly acquainted with the Old and New Testaments. At two years he was as familiar with ancient history as the most erudite authors of antiquity. Sausson and Danville only could compete with him in geographical knowledge. In the ancient and modern languages he was proficient. This wonderful child was unfortunately carried off in his fourth year. . f: : V:1 :: t-..-3 •,::-.:' , if, r 2. 4- F; -- ..r--- ‘- -,,.. . ; ; ARTE3It7S V4 r A RD ?RE CC CITY." Editor and Proprietor ~ . ►A Let us first sketeh the story of a Jinn's life —beginning with his marriage, which takes place towards the end of January. Ile was first to seek his wife ; but as the males are far more abundant than the females, who are often cut off in infancy, it is not rare to find a young lady pestered with the addresses of three or four gallants, who quarrel with the acerbity of jealous lovers. If one of them does not succeed in disabling or driving away the others, madam, impatient and dissatis fied, leads them into the presence of an old lion whose roar she has appreciated at a dis tance. The lovers fly to him with the temer ity of youth and exasperation. The old fel low receives them with calm assurance, breaks the neck of the first with his terrible jaws, smashes the leg of' the second, and tears out the eye of the third. No sooner is the day won and the field clear, than the lion tos ses his mane in the air as ho roars, and then crouches by the side of his lady, who, as a reward for his courage, licks his wounds ca ressingly. When two adult lions are the rivals, the encounter is more serious. An Arab perched in a tree one night, saw a lioness followed by a tawny lion, with full-grown mane ; she lay down at the foot of the tree—the lion stopped on his path and seemed to listen. The Arab then heard the distant growling of a lion, which was instantly replied to by the lioness under the tree. This made her husband roar furiously. The distant lion was heard ap proaching, and as he came nearer the lioness roared louder, which seemed to agitate her husband, for he marched toward her as if to force her to be quiet, end then sprang back to his old post, roaring defiance at his distant rival. This continued for about an hour, when a black lion made his appearance on the plain. The lioness arose as if to go to wards him ; but her husband, guessing her intention, bounded towards his rival. The two crouched and sprung upon each other, rolling on the grass in the embrace of death. Their bones cracked, their flesh was torn, their cries of rage and agony rent the air, and all this time the lioness crouched and wagged her tail slowly in signs of satisfaction. When the combat ended, and both warriors were stretched on the plain, she arose, smelt them, satisfied herself that they were dead, and trotted off, quite regardless of the uncompli mentary epithet. This, Gerard tells us, is an example of the conjugal fidelity of milady ; whereas the lion never quits his wife unless forced, and is quite a pattern of conjugal attention.— West- Mi2lSter Review.

Laws of this nature, intended to interfere with the proper enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, have been passed by the legisla tures of several of the Northern States.

We say this without reference to the present rebellious position of the South—which, in our judgment, is without justification—on the ground that the acts themselves are wrong, and *therefore should not be permitted to remain on the statute books. An of this character—not exactly a personal liberty bill, but nearly as objectionable—was passed by.ourown Legislature in 1847, which we trust the next legislature will wipe out. The South have a constitutional right to reclaim, without hindrance on our part, thin slaves who escape from them and come into this State. They are fugitives from labor—their masters have a right to their services, and no good citizen would encourage or harbor them; nor would any legislative body, mindful of the oath they take to 4 ` support the Constitu tion of the United States," throw legal ob stacles in the way of their recovery. Such laws, we cannot but think, are all the offspring of excitement, and we will not permit our selves to doubt that the error committed by the legislature of this State in 1847, will be corrected by the legislature of 1861. Let us, as far as we have it in our power, take from the South all reasonable grounds or dissatis isfaction ; and then, if still yielding to the im pulse of passion, or conjuring up imaginary grievances either present or prospective, she persists in her unpatriotic course, and precip tates revolution, we shall feel free from blame, and be better prepared to meet the dreadful issue with sternness, and determination. All grievances removed, let the choice rest with them whether they will be friends and at peace, or enemies, and at war with us.—Har risburg State. Sentinel. TEE ÜBIQUITY OF PATENTS The Scientific Anzerzean,in noticing a new patent bier, for lowering coffins into graves, indulges in the following strain in reference to patents:—" The life of this stage most as suredly, moves on patent invents Ons. For in instance. The infant is wrapped in linen woven on a patent frame, and he draws his first drop of nourishment from his mother's breast through a patent nipple shield. The girl fondles a doll, the boy whirls a patent top, or plays with a ball which is made un der one of the cost valuable patents of the age. In later life we put on a French yoke shirt, which with the rest of our clothes, is sewed on a patent machine, with a patent thread, with a patent needle, which comes enveloped in a patent wrapper; and our very boots are made of patent leather. We rise in the morning from a patent eliptic spring bed, undo the patent fastenings of our win dows, roll up our patent curtains, open the patent locks of our doors, which were con structed by patent machinery, and go down to our coffee, which is made in a patent old " Dominion" coffee pot. We write with one of Morton's patent pens, which we dip into our patent ink-stand. Thus surrounded by patents; we pass our life, which is filled with gorgeous dreams of making a splendid for tune by some patent invention of our own, till we are placed in a patent burial ease,and lowered from a patent bier into our final place of rest."

For twenty-three years, old Jake Willard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin county, and drawn therefrom a support for self and wife. He is childless. Nut long ago Jake 'left the louse in search of a missing cow. His route led him through an old worn-out patch of clay of about six acres in extent, in the cen ter of which was a well, twenty-live or thirty feet deep, that at sonic time probably, had furnished the inmates of a dilapidated house near by with water. In passing by this spot, an ill wind lifted Jake's " tile" from his head, and maliciously wafted it to the edge of the well, aid in it tumbled. Now Jake had always practised the virtue of economy, and he immediately set about re covering the lost hat. He ran to the well, and finding it was dry at the bottom, he un coiled the rope which be had brought for the purpose of capturing the truant cow, and after several attempts to catch the hat with a noose, he concluded to save time by going down into the well himself. To accomplish this, he made fast one end of the rope to a stump hard by, and was quickly on his way down the well. It is a fact of which Joke was no less obliv ious than the reader hereof, that Ned Wells was in the old dilapidated building aforesaid, and that an old blind horse with a bell on his neck, who had been turned out to die, was lazily grazing within a short distance of the well. NO. '2 4 . The devil, Limself, or some other wicked spirit put it into Ned's cranium to have a lit tle fun, so he quietly slipped up to the horse, and unbuckled the bell strap, approached with slow measured " ting,-a-ling' the edge of the well. " G—d clang that old blind horse !" said Jake, " he's a-coining this way sure, and ain't got no more sense than to fall in here. Whoa, "But the continued approach of the ting-u -ling, said just as plain as words that Ball wouldn't wkoa. Beside Jake was at the bot tom, resting, before trying to shin' it up the rope. "Great Jerusalem !" said he, "the old cuss will be a-top 01' me before I can say Jack Rub inson. " - Whoa, G—d clang you, whoa." Just then, Ned drew up to the edge of the well, and with his foot kicked a little dirt into. it. " Oh, Lord," exclaimed Jake, falling upon his knees at the bottom, " I'm gone now, whoa. Now I lay me dawn to sleep—whoa I pray the Lord my soul tu—w•h-u-a now. Oh I Lord have nicrey on me, Ned could hold in no longer, and fearful Jake might suffer from. his fright, revealed. himself: Probably Ned didn't makc,‘ tracks with his heels from that well. Maybe Jake wasn't up to the top of it in short order, and you might think he didn't try every night for two weeks to get a shot with his rifle. Maybe not. I don't know. But Ido know that ifJake finds out who sent you this, it will be the last squib , you'll get. A cat mania is a singular thing; yet it ex isted in Mrs. Griggs, of Southampton Row, London, who died on the ltith of January, 1792. ller executors found in her house eighty-six living, and twenty-eight dead cats Their owner, who died worth 5150,000, left her black servant ,5750 per annum for the maintenance of the surviving cats and himself. Popo records an instance of a famous Duchess Of It—, who bequeathed considerable lega cies and annuities to her cats. In the Arcycnte. Crarai:`e there L ay be found a recortl of a famous lawsuit, relating to a cat of Madame de Puis, a celebrated performer on the harp. This lady's will, in favor of the cat made a great noise at the time. It settled a large pension upon her, and directed that so many visits should be paid her every week. In the suit carried on to set the will aside, MM. \Veaurier and Vautier, celebrated lawyers, were engaged to sustain it, while M. de Perri ers, equally famous, was retained on the oppo site interest. But it, of the gentler sex, there are those "who cradle the blind offspring of' their Se limas, and adorn the pensive mother's neck with coral beads," some also of the re markable among our s:erner race have shown an extraordinary fondnes3 fur these luxurious quadrupeds. Moliammed,for instance, had a cat to which he was so much attached that he preferred cutting off" the sleeve of his garment to disturbing her repose, when she had fallen asleep upon it. Tetrarch was so fond of the cat that he had it embalmed after death and placed in a niche in his apartment. Dr. Johnson had a feline favorite, and when it was ill, declining its usual food, but greedily seizing an oyster when it was offered, he was accustomed to bring home for her daily some of these tempting molluscs. Mr. Peter King, who died at Islington in 1803, had two Tom cats, that used to set up at table with him at his meals, and, as he was a great admirer of fine clothes, richly laced, he thought his cats might like them too. The grimalkins were accordingly measured, and wore rich liveries until Lath. I and ENERGY. I have noticed that a married man falling into misfortune is more apt to retrieve his situation in the world than a single ono, chiefly because his spirits are soothed and re lieved by domestic endearments, and self-re spect, kept alive by finding that, although abroad may be darkness and humiliation yet there is still a little world of' love at home, of which he is monarch. Whereas, a single man is apt to run to waste and self-neglect ; to fall to ruin like sonic deserted. mansion fur want of inhabitants. I have often,had occa sion to remark the fortitude with which wo men sustain the most overwhelming reverse of fortune, Those disasters which break down the spirit of man, and prostrate him in the dust, seem to call forth all the energies of the other sex, and give such intrepidity and elevation to their character -that at times it approaches to sublimity. Nothing can be more touching than to behold a soft and ten der female, who had been all weakness and dependence, and alive to every trivial rough ness, while treading the prosperous path, suddenly rising in mental force to be the comforter and supporter of her husband under misfortunes, abiding with unshrinking firm ness the bitterest blasts of adversity. As the vine which has long twined its graceful foliage about the oak, and has been lifted by his sunshine, will, when the hardy plant is rifted by the thunderbolt, cling around it with its caressing tendrils, and bind up its shattered brow, so, too, it is beautifully ordained by Providence, that woman, who is the ornament and dependent of man in his happier hours, should be his stay and solace when smitten with dire and sudden calamity, winding herself into the rugged recesses of his nature, tenderly supporting his drooping head, and binding up the broken heart.— 'T G:siting/07/ _lrving. ~-- - .ll'lly is a loafer in a printing °Theo like a shade tree : Because we are glad wher. he inucs.
