There's Room Enough for AIL
What need of this fuss and strife,
Each warring with his brother ?
Why should we in the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each other ?
Is therp no goal that can be won, 1
Without a fight to gain it ?
7so other way of getting on, '
But grabbling to obtain it;
Oh ! fellow men, hear wisdom then,
In friendly warning call
"Your clans divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for all."
What if the swarthy peasant find,
Xo field for honest labor !
He need not idly step behind,
To thrust aside nis neighbor,
There is a land of sunny skies,
Where gold for toil is given,
Where every brawny arm that tries
Its strength can grasp a living,
Oh ? fellow men, remember then,
Whatsoever chance befall,
The worldis wide, whsre these abide, ,
There's room enough for ail.
From poisoned air ye breathe in courts,
And typhus tainted alleys,
Go forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys,
Where every arm that clears a bough,
Finds plenty in attendance. . '
And every furrow of the plough
A step to independence.
Oh ! hasten then, from fevered den,
And lodging3 cramped and small,
The world is wido in land, beside
There's room enough for all.
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment ;
A fair day's work, a fair day's pay,
And toil will earn enjoyment.
What need they of this daily strife,
"vVhere each wars with his brother?
Why need we through the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each other ?
From rags and crime, thatdistantclime
Will free the paupers thrall ;
Take fortune's tide, the world so wide
Has room enough for all.
There is not room if one may own,
The land that others toil on :
If gold be dug, or grain be sown
For drones to gorge or spoil on ?
But if to each the equal chance,
To plough and dig be guarded,
To competence may all advance
Through honest toil rewarded.
There'3 room and more than room
we know, j
And gold beyond the mountains,
Then let the land, and chance for gold '
Be free as natures fountains.
flow Tom Lost his Vote. !
A Louisville correspondent of the N. Y. j
Spirit of the Times tells the following a-'
musing anecdote : j
In a county election, which came off
all around here last spig, Dr.
was an ardent opponent of J , one of
the candidates. The two nags were about
an even match, and every vote, it was sup
posed, would be as available as a second
in a milo heat, where both horses could
spin around inside of 2:40. The election .
was to come off on a particular Monday,
and on Sunday evening just before, a cer
tain well-know J voter, came to Doc's
house suffering under the pangs of a dis
eased molar. He had been trying two or
thee spiritual remedies, and being rather
brickish about the hat, the Doctor told
him to go up-stairs and lay down for an
hour or so, until he returned, when the
operation should come off. When he did
return, he found him sound asleep, and
then a luminous idea crossed his brain,
which he determined to carry out. Se

like daylight, and getting a well-filled bot
tle of old rye, it, with a tumbler and sup
ply of fresh water were placed near the
bed, and the Doctor retired to his virtu
ous couch. Upon waking in the morning,
his first visit was to his patient up-stairs,
whom he found comfortably snoozing,
while the liquid in the bottlo had, in some
mysterious manner, nearly all evapora

now ?" said the Doctor rousing him up.

Down sat Tom, out came the tooth, and
at the same time in came one of Tom's
cronies.

Momon Mariage
The Seer continues its exposition of Ce
lestial Marriage, as it calls the marriage
institution of the Mormon Church. We
make the following extracts :
When a man who has a wife teaches
her the law of God, as revealed to tho
ancient patriarchs, and as manifested by
new revelation, and sbe refuses to give
her consent for him to marry another, ac
cording to that law, then it becomes ne
cessary for her to state before the Presi
dent the reasons why she withholds her
consent. If her reasons are sufficient and
justifiable, and the husband is found in
the fault, or m transgression, then he is
not permitted to take any Btep in regard
to obtaining another. But if the wife can
show no good reason why she refuses to
comply with the law which was given unto
Sarah of old, then it is lawful tor her hus
band, if permitted by revelation through
the prophet, to be married to others with
out her consent, and he will be justified ,
and she will be condemned, because sbe
did not give them unto him, as Sarah
gave Hagar to Abraham, and as Bachael
and Leah gave Bilhah and Ziilpah to their
husband Jacob.
It is the duty of a man who takes an
other wife to look after her welfare and
happiness, and to provide for her the com
forts of life the same as for the first ; for
the Scripture, in speaking of such a man,
says : "If he take him another wife, her
food, her raimant, and her duty of mar
riage, shall he not diminish." (Exodus
21, 10.)
There is no particular rulo as regards
the residence of the different branches of
a family. It is very frequently the case
that they all reside in the same dwelling,
and take hold unitedly, and with the great
est cheerfulness, of the different branch
es of household or domestic business, eat
ing at the same table, and kindly looking
after each others welfare, while the great
est peace and harmony prevail year after
year. Their children play and associate
together, with the greatest affection, as
brothers and sisters; while each mother ap
parently manifests as much kindness and
tender regard for the children of the oth
ers as for her own. And, morning and
evening, when the husband calls together
his family to worship the Lord and call
upon his name, they all bow the knee,
and, with the greatest union of feeling,
offer their devotions to the Most High.
It is sometimes the case that the hus
band provides for his wives separate hab
itataions, as Jacob did for his four wives,
each of whom had a separate tent. (See
Genesis, 31, 33.) Where all the wives
are equally faithful, the husband gener
ally endeavors to treat them ail without
partiality.
Jealously is an evil with which the
saints in Utah are but seldom troubled; it
is an evil that is not countenanced by
either male or female; and, should any
indulge such a passion, they would bring
a disgrace aud reproach upon themselves
which they could not easily wipe away.
And, indeed, it is very rare that there
are any causes for jealousy, for the citi
zens of that Territory think more of their
virtue than they do of their lives. They
know that if they have any connections
out of 'the marriage covenant, they not
only forfeit their lives by the law of God,
