Mr. Nippers' Courtship, and Mow MEIZED! ..thsaloin ' , Tippers was a widower, anti one of the most particular men, perhaps, that ever lived, though some people said, that when his wife was alive, he used to dress as a common field hand and didn't take any pains with himself at all. Every body noticed how ho spruced up about six weeks after Mrs. Nippers died, and how be went to church regular every Sunday; but they didn't have no confidence in his reli gion, mind used to say that he only wont to church to show his now suit of mourning, and to ogle the gals. With such a character among the wi m min, it ain't to be supposed that he stood any sort of chance of getting another Mrs. Nippers near home ; and whether he was as bad to his wife as they said ho was, or not one thing was certain he had to look abroad for some one to fill her place. Mr. Nippers was very lucky in finding a girl just to his mind, that lived about ten miles from his plantation. Nancy Parker was rich,and though she wasn't very young nor very handsome, she belonged to Mr. Nippers' church, end filled his eye exactly; so he sot in courtin' her with all his might. Ten miles was a good long ride; and, as he was an economical man, lie used to ride over to old Mrs. Parker's plantation every Sun day morning, to go to church with the fam ily, take dinner with them, and ride bark in the cool of the evening. A ride over a dusty road is apt to soil a gentleman's dry goods, and make him and his horse very tired. However, Mr. sip pers didn't mind the fatigue as much as his horse ; but in a matter such as he had in band it was very important that he should make as good an impression as possible, so he adopted a plan by which he was able to present himself before the object of his af fections in order, with his Sunday coat as clean, and his blooming ruffles as fresh and `band'-.e."This was a happy expedient, and what nobody but a widower lover would think of. He used to start from home with his new coat and shirt tied up in a pocket handkerchief, and after riding within a quarter of a mile of Mrs, Parker's plantation, he would turn Mr:into a thicket of Chinkapin bushes and there make his rural toilet. One bright :Sunday Mr. :Nippers bad ar rived at his dressing-ground. It was an important occasion. Everything was pro misin* and he mado up his mind to pop the question that very day. There was no doubt in his mind that he would return home an engaged man, and he was reckon in' over to himself the value of Miss Nancy's plantation and niggers, while lie was cittin' on his horse makin' his accus tomed change of dress. Ile had dropped the reins on his horse's neck, who was browsin' about, makin' tip his last night's scanty feed from the hushes in his reach, and kickin* and stompin' nt such flies as was feedin' on hint in return. '•I'll fix the business this time," said Mi. Nippers to himself. "I'll bring things to a pint, this time," sea he, as he untied the handkerchief with his clothes and spread them on the saddle bow. "Wo, sez he—"l've jilt got to say the word, and—wo !" sez he to his horse, which was kickin' and rearin' about. "Wo ! you' cussed old fool !—and the bUSiII4-.SS is settled jist like fallin' off a log." Ile was drawin' his shirt over his head, when Bill gave a sudden spring what like to make him lose his balance. '"Vo l" sez he—but before he could get his arms out of his sleeves, Bill was weelin' and kick in' like wrath at soxnethin' that seemed to trou ble him behind. Down went the clean clothes, shirt and all, on the ground. "Drat your infernal pictur l—wo, now!" ses Mr. Nippers, grabbin' at the reins. But before he could get hold of them, Bill was air like astreak of greased lightniu', with a whole swarm of yellow jackets round his tail. Mr, Nippers grabbed hold of the mane and tried.to stop the horse, but it was no use. Away went the infuriated Bill, and takin' the road he was used to travlin', another moment brought hint to the house. The gate was open, and in dashed the horse with the almost naked Nippers hanging, to his neck, "Stop hien !—hornets ! hornets!" us loud as 110 could. On came the dogs, and after the horse they went round the house, scatterin' t3he ducks and chickens, and terrifyite the little niggers out of their senses. Their noise brung the wiintutu to the door. "Don't look, Miss Nancy! hornets! wol ketch them! " shouted the unclad Nippers, as with spent breath, he went dash in' out Agin, with the dogs still after him, and his horse' stall switchon in every direction, like a young hurrycane. Miss Nancy got ono glimpse of her forlorn lover, and before she could clap her apron to her oyes, she faint ed at the awful sight, (!) while his fast rece din' voice, cryin' "Hornets ! stop hint ! hor nets r' stilt rung in her ears. Poor Miss Nancy never got, ova• the X - ci t ern en t of that eventful Sunday morning. She took her bed anti refused to see compa ny ; and finally went off in a tit of by-stor ies, caused by somebody mentioning the name of the unibrtunau Nippers in her presence. ttome. Our home! What images nrerbrought be fore us by that one word ! The meeting ol' cordial smiles, and the gathering round the evening hearth, and the enterchange of thoughts in kindly words, and the glances of eyes to which our hearts lie open as the day —there is the true city of refuge ! Where are we to turn when, it in shut out front us or changed? Who ever thought his home could change? And yet those calm, and deep and still delights,over which the world seems to have 710 breath of power they too, are like the beautiful summer clouds, tran quil as if fixed to sleep forever in the pare azure of the skies, yet all, all the while melting from us, though imperceptibly passing away. Brigham Young's naresn. A few steps up Main street from our hotel, a turn to the right, and we see the prophet's harem. The grounds occupied by Brigham are enclosed by a high wall laid in cement. An eagle with spreading wings, clutching a beehive in his talons, is mounted over the gateway—emblematic of Brigham and the church. The main entrance flaws the South. The grounds are well laid out, and there is an abundance of apple, pear and peach trees. (train') vines climb the walls and hang upon trellises. At the south-west corner of the grounds is the tithing-olllce, where the tenth part of all that is produced in the Territory passes through into Brigham's hands. In the rear M the tithing-office are extensive sheds, where the saints find shelter while paying their tithfi)g. Here also are several small buildinns where Brigham's servants live— those employed about the premises. A few stops east of the tithing-office is a t hreo-storied building, standing, end to the road, large enough and long enough fur a factory boarding house. It has a steep shingled roof, with ten gabled windows on each side. On the balcony over the door is a crouching lion. This is the harem. A covered passage leads from the ground floor to another building cast, in which is the•general busi ness office of Brigham Young, and from which telegraph wires run to every hamlet in the Territory. Another passage leads to the private office of Brigham—back of which is his private bed-chamber, occupied by his concubines in turn—Amelia to-day, Erne line to-morrow, Lucy the day after, and so on as he wants them. Brigham's lawfully wedded wife was Mary Ann Angel, a native of New York, the mother of live children—Joseph, or "Joe," as ho is called at Salt Lake, Brig ham A., John, Alice and Laura. She mar ried the prophet while he was a young mini, before ho vas a prophet, and with him accepted the revelations of Joseph Smith. She lives in a large stone mansion in the rear of the harem. Brigham does not often visit her now. The number of concubines in the harem is not known to the Gentile world. One report makes the number seventy, another gives only thirty. It is probable that the larger number in cludes thoso who are sealed to Brigham for eternity and not for time. ills thst concubine is Lacy Decker. She is the lawful will: of Isaac Seely, and moth er of two children ; but 13rIglann could make her a queen in heaven, and so bidding good-bye to Isaac she became first concu bine, and has added eight children to the prophet's household. Her younger sister, Clara Decker, also aspired to become a heavenly queen, be came his second concubine and is the moth er of four children. Miss Twiss has sandy hair, round fea tures, blue eyes, low forehead, freckled face—but as she has no children she is not of much account in the eyes of the prophet. She looks after his clothes, she sews buttons on his shirts, and acts the part of a house s,. wife. --uf Mrs, Waite, wife - of one the U. S. Judges of the Ten itory, is the "light of the harem,"—tall, graceful, mild violet eyes, fair hair incllo - to earl. She was a lively young lady, and Brigham fell in love with her. tier father and mother ware opposed to polyga my, but Etneline had ambition , projects, accepted his proposal and liceame the favor ite of the harem. The favor shown her brought on a rote. The other concubines carried their ,jealousy to such a pitch that the prophet had a private passage construct ed limn his room to Etneline'a, so that his visits to her and hers to him could be tirade without observation. She lilts contributed greatly to his glory in the other world, by presenting him With eight children in this. Mis, Augusta Cobb was formerly a Bos tonian, became converted to Mormonism eighteen years ago, left her home and ac cepted a position in the harem. Mrs. Smith, a devout Mormon, wished to be sealed to Bri,ghant fin• eternity, but the prophet did not care to make her a heaven' ly queen, so he scaled her to Joseph Smith for eternity and to himself for time. One "poor unfortunate," Clara Chase, be came a maniac, and has gone to where the wicked cease train tronbling. Amelia Folsom, a native of L'ortsinont N. 11., is the mistress of the harem. She entered it on the Stith of January, .18113. She is about nineteen and the prophet sixty three. She has things pretty much her own way—a private box at the theatre, carriage of her own, silks, satins, a piano, parlor elegantly furnished. If the prophet slights her, she• pays hint back in his own coin. Such is an outline of this saintly house hold—thirty women or more and seventy or eighty children. Unless Inunan nature is vastly different in Utah from what it is in other places, there must be many family jars. The outward appearance of a peace ful and orderly community; but it there is a fraction of truth in common report, it is ono of the saddest communities in the world. Co•reapotdc,tcc of the Boston Journal. Girls, new:lire! New York is not the only place where girls use pint. We hove seen symptoms of it, "even in our midst." Here is what the New York ./..eflyer says upon the sub ject. it is-timely and should be heeded. Sunshine, early risiog, active employment, both indoors and out, are better cosmetics for the skin :hen ally which can be bought. There is no complexion so flue as that which nature gives. But we will let Mr. Bonner tell his story : No one can ride or walk through the fash ionable portion of New York city, attend any place of amusement, or go to any even ing party, without becoming aware of the horrible filet that many women, of whom better things might be expected, have fallen into the pernicious habit of applying to their• skills the enamels which under various at tractive names, are advertised and sold in all parts of the land. Not only indeed flicks, but countenances so young, plump, and pretty in outline that they twist in their natural condition be attractive, lacquered over with an un natural polish of tine porcelain, which pro duces an elfeet such as one might imagine Ica china doll were afflicted with consump tion. This practice is as pernicious as it is dis gnsting—the seeds of death or paralysis I being hidden ill every attractive pot and jar of 01050 1111XtUreS, which are supposed to be not only Min - went, but possess the Vir- ILWS of the undiscovered tountains of per petual yunth. Some who use them will suddenly have a Serert! ; and revel). ing a private warning' front the family Optician, will cease 1110 list of the eanNo of their disorder, and recovering, go through life n•ith an ex tremely bad complexion, 115 a reminder of their folly. Others will drop soddenly, with their features t wisted to one side, and perhaps de prived of the use of their limbs. Others will die out right, no ono guessifig why., Thu effect upon any particular person cannot be calculated. \V hat ono suffers paralysis from, may kill another outright. Tho only satiety is in having nothing to do with any of these baleful "preparations." Perils of the Young. Young people cannot bo too careful to avoid bad habits. If a young man be idle, he will make others idle. If he be dishon orable in business. or extravagant, or does not pay his debts, he saps that credit, confi dence and honor, which is the life or busi nesspibsperity. Where these or other vicious principles prevail among the youth of the nation, it may sink into degradation, and eventually be destroyed. On the other band, where an industrious, orderly, just and honorable character pertains to the youth of people, it insures the welfare and pro gress of the nation at large. In youth conies the crisis of life. Those who choose well, like the morning, sun higher and higher, but those who fail at this crisis, sink among the perils that surround them, often to rise no more. At no time are pas sions and energy so strong, and experience so weak, as at die point Where parents and guardians relinquish authority, and the young man assumes the responsibility of directing himself. it is then that the mind and the body are strong, courage, hope and enterprise ardent, arid the appetites and in - el Mations powerful. Passions, when latent in the breast, need but a spark of tempta tion to intimate them. If they were all pure, and properly harmonised, the young man would perhaps find in them that which would give strength to his virtue, and an instinct, which, supplying the place of experience would guide' him aright. But it is not so. He may have inherited the moral delinquencies of the parent as much as his physical disorders. The cur rents and fashions of prevailing wicked ness makes it difficult for a young man to keep clear of them. What avails the skull of the mariner in the midst of the Whirl pool? Ile may steer by his compass, and set his sails, and seem to bo moving aright,, while he is really drifting into the fatal current. The young man led by his youth ful associates lute the haunts of dissipation and vice is being insensibly drawn into the fatal current. He may be amiable, and even innocent at first, but after a ti his face becomes flushed, and his brow con tracted with anxiety, for he tools that he is rushing into the whirlpool of guilt that may end in his destruction. Good habits firmly fixed aro the best thing to guide the young through the jour ney of life in a wise and honorable manner. Money cannot do it ; nor talents or edma don, nor powerful connections and fashion able manners. Neither call philo.ophy, nor even innocence and amiability do it. All these may fade before the sun. Est n est and active devotion to duty, to viitnous principles, mid the practice of Motor, honesty, morality and justice, are necessary to combat the clangers by which the young tu•e surrounded. Some habits should be checked; others stimulated; some need proving, and others weeding out, root and branch. If taken in time, it will be a pleas sant, duty to keep the garden of the mind in order, but if the weeds get the upper hand, the tusk will be one of increasing difficulty.

Oft times does our memory lead us back to the days; of our courtship, and the past events during that period stimulate our hearts with joy and pleasure ; then we reflect upon the solemn vow which before Heaven we have taken, to love cherish and support, one who has li,resaken her parental circle, and bid fare well to the fireside of her parents, brothers and sisters, where many days of pleasure and happiness have been spent, to launch out upon the tide of lift, with one whom she loved with that devotion which only the . t rue heat tof woman cont tins. Guided by 1 confidence, she stands before the altar and takes it vow before Heaven that she will forsake all others and cleave to one. Hus bands, reflect upon the sacrifice which she has made, and see that you fulfill in every respect the vow which you have taken. Lo oh well to the happiness of your homes. See that your part of the obligation is truly fulfilled, and nothing is left undone which is calculated to increase the happiness of your wives. At all times avoid harsh words ; study the disposition of your devo ted wives ; let your words be governed by kindness at all times; rethember that ono harsh word front the lips of one who is dearly beloved by woumn, is like a dagger to her heart. Oft times she turn• conceal from you her feelings of pain, and in your absence weep tears of bitterness. Avoid jests ; speak not of other ladies as superior to your wives; even in jest; it often brings poison to their hearts. Spend your even ings at your homes in company with fami lies ; they are deprived of your society during the day, and your devotion is due to theta alter business has dosed ; go with theta to Church on the Sabbath day, as they look to you for an example; see that your families are provided for, even after death, for we live and die for those we love; there is no excuse for you, as there is placed within your reach the means by which you can provide thr those you love. Death from a Singular Cause Nine mouths ago the daughter of a ,Ir.

They went up stairs and down stairs—looked into the breakfast and dining-rooms, the parlors, the office, the saloon, the barber shop, and had many words of commendation for each. At last, wandering along the corridors, one of them espied the elevator, the doors of which were open. " Look here, said he to his friend. " This is a nice little room, but there's no bed in it. t wonder what it's for ?" • .Toe's curiosity was aroused. So he step ped into the elevator, and he and his own - panion hat, down on one of the cushioned seats. " This is nice," remarked Joe, "but f don't see exactly what it's for. Do 'you, lu 11 ?

The filings were carefully saved and made into several forms as relics. A ring With a signet setting made of this precious metal was worn by the late Joint Minor Bolts of Virginia.

COMUUNICATIONS, Selections, Recipes and ar ticles of interest and value, arc solicited for this department of the paper. We desire to supply the public with the best practical information in reterence to the farm, garden, and household. Early and Late Planting of' Corn. I believe that by early planting, say from the 4th to the 10th of May, the farmer is more certain of a good yield. I will admit that late planting will sometimes bring as goZid a crop as that which was planted earlier, but to do so it requires a very favor able season. I have known a good crop raised trout seed planted as late as the sth of June, I 111 t the season was very favorable, and the corn received no "backsets," and Lail nothing to do but grow. It seems that after the plant lots reached a certain stage it. is not materhdly injured by dry weather. AII practical farmers know drat if the ears are not well tilled in August there will not In. a large crop; after this the corn will harden. hut will not increase in quantity or Although as a general thing, early plant lug k the best, yet on wet soils there will be little or nothing gained by it. It has always beers my plan to plant early,and drop an ex tra grain in cavil hill. The number of grains required must depend. upon the care taken in the selection of the seed. This is an item which some, even of our best farmers, tire too careless about. The plan which I persue is as follows : While cutting the corn, all the best and largest cars are left standing, that they may get fully ripe. I always choose twice as much as I expect to use; when the corn is gathered the seed ears are husked and placed on slats over the kitchen, where they remain until spring. Just before planting tittle they are sorted over, and those having the smallest cobs, in proportion to the length or depth of the grain, are selected for seed. The next operation is to shell three inches front the point and one inch from the butt, and use the remainder for seed. This may seem to some to be too much trouble, but rest assured that "it will pay," and. that well. Another great mistake is, to have too many stalks in the hilt. On strong ground three or linir stalks will produce more corn thcui the have proved by actual experiment that corn t aised from seed taken from the mid dle of time ear u•ili ripen from two to three weeks sooner than that taken from either end ! CORN-RAISER. Plant and ToznatoeS. Every person can raise his own tomato and egg-plants, with very little trouble. Select a warm border, enrich heavily with horse manure. pulverize the ground thorougly, and sow pretty thickly, thinning out ll' neeessary. A common window sash or two, raised two or three inches over them, on any kind of supports, will greatly facilitate, their_ vegetation and•gro ,t wth,, y FOo. liNgia qiirieW r akli=siilgli, so that theyshall Ltstand.about three inches apitrt each. Way, it will cause them to become very stout in stew, and will branch considerably, making much stronger and more productive plants. Tomatoes should not be set out for a crop until the ground is warm and settled, say Ihr last of April or first of May, the later perhaps the better. Egg-Plants should never be set out before the last wee!: in May. We prefer the tomato, and the Long Purple egg plant, though many other ex cellent varieties of the tomato are now in troduced, some of which it would be well to cultivate also. Not it day f,hould be lost in getting in the seed. To Butter Makers. aie half the time or more will be saved •• churning," by following, the directions here given : After the milk is strained, set the pan over some boiling water in an ordi nary iron pot in the stove, and heat the milk until the cream rises slightly. When ever the surface begins to show wrinkles then it is done (set it away to cool before you put it in a close place). If earthen crocks are used set the crocks in the water in a tub. hi' served in the above way it will make more butter, and will be sweeter, and keep longer. Since .1 have scalded my milk we churn from two to ten minutes "in patent churn," otherwise took sometimes Indian hour. You got your pay for the small trouble of scalding, the milk when " churning," besides the extra quautityand quality. To Prevent Birds and Vermin from Destroyinz Seeds. Dampen the seeds with water just pre vious to sowing them, and then stir in a small quantity of dry red lead, sufficient to give the seeds a very thin coating of the pigment. It is best done with a small wooden spatula, and the person sowing the seed should wear gloves. As red lead hem - soluble in water, it cannot ho absorbed through the cuticle of the seed, and there- Aire cannot be injurious to their germina tion, if sown immediately after being col ored. if the seed is kept long dry, and above ground after such coloring, it will so ifcr t h crefrom. It seems to set as a preventive in two ways—partly by its color deterring the birds and and partly bt- its poisonous yualttiaa do,troying, them. 1101 sc-ltadish. No well-ordered garden in the Northern States should be without a patch of this pi quant esculent. It grows best in rather a low, moist place, and' is cultivated without much trouble. Prepare the ground full two spades deep, and manure heavily. Then select good roots, cut them in slices lengthwise., each slice remitting a piece of crown, no :atter how small, and plant two inches below the surface. bed ten feet square will furnish enough for a large family, with some to spare to poor relations.
