Alma who resides at Chalon, was a
lady of the strictest character. and of a heart
proof against all allurement. She prided her
self upon her great insensibility, and her pro
found indifference had repulsed all those gal
lants who had ventured to offer their addresses.
The country was for her a veritable retreat;
she shunned re-unions, and was only happy in
solitude. The world had for her no attraction,
niid her favorite recreation wail that of angling
—an amusement worthy of an unfeeling wo
man.
She was accustomed every pleasant day to
station herself at the extremity of the lonely
of Chaton, and there, with a book in one
hand and her line in the other, her time was
passed in fishing, reading or dreaming.
A lover who had always been intimidated by
her coldness, and who had never ventured on
a spoken or written declaration, surprised her
at her .favorite pursuit, ono day when he bad
come to the island for the purpose of enjoying
a swimming bath. Ho observed her fora long
time without discovery, and busied himself
with thinking how he might turn to his advan
tage this lonely amusement of angling: - Ilia
reveries were so deep and so fortunate that he
at last hit upon the desired plan, a novel ex
pedient, indeed—yet they are always more
successful with such women as pretend to be
invulnerable. • ,

The next day our amorous hero returned to
the island, studied the ground, made 'his ar

success 9f hie enterprise. Ho swam to the end
of the island With the greatest precaution, fa•

which hung. their dense foliage above the wa

perceived the movement of the•booh.
Is it a fish ? Is it a letter?
It WAS n letter!
Mipe. D— was no believer in magic, stil
there was something strange and supernatura

She had an idea of throwing bask the letter
into the stream, but relinquished it. The moat

armed in co of that strange mystery which
captivates he imagination.
This second kettor was more tender, more
passionate, more charming than the first.—
Mme. D---re-read it several times, and could
not help thinking about the delightful merman
who wrote such bewitching letters.
On the dUbsequent d ly she attacked her line
to the bank, and. left it swimming in the
stream, while she withdrew to a hiding place
upon the extremity of the island. She watch
ed for a long time, but saw nothing. She re
turned to the place, withdrew the line—and
there was the letter! ' . '
This time an anaw'er was requested. It was
perhaps premature, 'yet the audacious request
obtained'a full success. Tho reply was-writ

to guess that her mysterious correspondent
employed, instead of magic, the art of skillful
diving. Scruples easily upderstood restrain
ed-her from that portion of the bank where
she was sure that the diver would emerge from
the water.
But this game orletters amused her. First
it pleased her intellect, and then her h. art was
inter6sted ; finally her feelings and her curios•
ity became so lively that she wrote:
"Let us give up this jesting, which has
pleased me for the moment, but which should
continue no longer, and come with your spot- ,
ogles to Chaton."
The lover answered :
"Yee, if you will add Hope."
•'lf only a word is necessary to decide you,
be it so !"
And the word was written
The young man appeared, and was not a
loser. The gift of pleasing belonged to his
person as much as to his style, and ho bad
made such rapid progress under the water that
it was easy to complete his conquest on land.
Thus Alma. D.— caught a husband with

she had taken never to marry, Holding the

This is a world of inflexible commerce, noth

DOMESTICS ON A BENDER
Dear Editor:—l have been to,Ningara, you
know—Niagara nilis—big rocks, water, foam,
Table Rock, Indian curiosities, squaws, mocca
sins, stuffed snakes, rapids, wolves, Clinton

:the paint washed of their faces; where the
aristocratic Indian ladies sit on the dirt and
make little bags; where all the inhabitants
swindle strangers, where the cars go in a hur
ry, the waiters are impudent - and all the small
boys swear.
When I came in sight of the suspension
bridge, I was vividly impressed:with the idea
that it was some bridge, in feet, a considerable
curiosity, and a considerable bridge—took a
glass of beer - and walked up the Falls—another
glass of beer and walked under the glass of

other glass of beer, but could'nt get it; walk•

triumphant, victorious, humbug—humbug !
sir, all humbug! except the dabliness of eve
rything, which is a most certainty, and the
cupidity of everybody, which is
,a diabolical
fact, and the Indians and niggers everywhere,
which is a satanic truth,
Another glass of beer—'twas forthcoming—
immedia tely—also another, all of which I
drank.l then proceeded to drink a glass of

TILE MORMONS AND THEIR SYSTEM
The present condition of Utah Territory,
and the,abeolute certainty that ere long she
will Apply for admission into the Union, as a
member of our confederacy, renders every
thing touching that singular people, and their
institutions interesting at the present time.
The question at stoke involves a groat princi
ple which cannot too eatly, receive the atten
tion of the American ;,people -and- elicit the
common tEr and dEI C. 1 .18141 lof the Press.—From
a new work issuod:by.the Harpers, we take the
subjoined extracts. Its nuihor is Doctor-Ben
jamin G. Ferris; late secretary of the Territo
ry, and he writes from six months personal
observation.
•DOMESTIC "ECONOMY
"Polygamy," says Dr. Ferris is introducing
a new style of building at Salt Lake City. A
loan with half a dozen wives builds, if he can,
a long, low dwelling, having six entrances
from the outer'side ; and when he takes a new
wife if able to do so, odds another apartment.
The object is to keep the women and babies as
much as possible, apart, and prevent those
terrible cat fights which sometimes occur,
with all the acoompanigents of Bilingsgate,
torn caps, and b - rolieifbroom sticks. As the
"divine institution" extends, those buildings
increase, and in a few years the city Will look
like a collection of barracks for the accommo,
dation of soldierd. Some have seperate build
ings in parts of the city remote from each o
ther,.and .others. have form 'houses, and the'
wives - are thus kept separate, the husband di
viding his time between them all."
EFFECTS OF POLYOAMY UPON POPULATION
"The effect upon population is decidedly de
leterious. The prophet Joseph had over forty
wives at Nauvoo, and the rest of the priest
hood hod various numbers, corresponding to
their standing and inclinations; and nearly
all the children of , these polygamous marria
ges died at that place; indeed, it is alledged
by Mormons that not one was taken to Utah.
Brigham Young has .thirty children, of whom
eight are by his first and second lawful wives;
the remaining twenty-two are by, his gpirituals..
He has about fifty wives, some of whom were
widows of Joseph Smith, and are probably
past the time of having children ; but suppos
ing him' to have thirty who ere capable of bear
ing issue ; - 4 which is below the true number—
the twenty-two children would be less than
one child to a concubine. If each of those de
graded females could have been the honored
,Fife of one husband, the aggregate number of
, phildren, according to, the'„usual .. evernge of .
four in Literally, would be one hundred and
twenty, showing a lose in population of nine
ty-eight.
"The children are subject to a frightful de
gree of sickness and mortality. This is the
combined result of the gross sensuality of the
parents and want of care toward their offspring, 1
As a general rule these sointly pretenders take
as little care of their wives as of their child
ren ; and of both, less than a careful farmer
in the__ States would of his cattle; and no
where out of the "Five Points" in New York
City, can a more filthy, misornbleF-neglected
looking, and_ disorderly rabble of children be
found, than in the streets of the great Salt
Lake - City. The Governor, again, whose at- -
tention to his multifarious family we ore
hound to suppose greater than the average.
lairds a fair illustration. Ho was twice low

who are all living. Ho has had a large hum.
her of children by liis concubines—no ono
knows how . many—it is only known that there
ere . only twenty-two surviving. These females
do not reside in the Governor's house,' so
called, but in different establishments; from
one up to a dciefa in a place."
PIIOGRESS of INDECENCY
- - -
o TheVis system of pluralit has obliterated
nearly all sensg of decency, and would seem
to be fast leading to an intercourse open and
promiscuous as the cattle in the fields. A man
living in common with a dozen dirty Arabs,
whether ho calls them, wives or- concubines.
cannot' have a very nice sense of propriety. It
is difficult to give a true account of the effects
whieb have resulted dify o m this cause, and, at
the same time preserve. decency' of language.

.THE MORMON WIFE
A wife in Utah, cannot live out half her
days. In families where polygamy has not
been introduced she suffers an agony of rip
prehension on the oubjeot which can scarce
ly bo conceived, much more described. There
is a sad, complaining, suffering look obvious
to the most ordinary observer, which tells the
story, if there were no other evide . nee on the
subject. In most cases it is producing prema
ture old age. and some have already sunk into
,an early grave under•an intolerable weight of
affliction. The man; from the moment - he
makes up his mind to bring one or more con
cubines into the family, becomes always neg
lectful, and in most cases abusive of his wife."
The criminal.submitted to his fate ; thought
his family would be lees disgraoed. and con
sidered it a favor not to be Compelled to walk
to the place of execution. He was conducted
to the appointed room, where every prawn;
lion wail made beforehand; his eyes were lain
daged ; he woe strapped to the table, end, at ,
a preconcerted signal. four of his veins were
gently pricked with the point of a On. At
each corner of the table was a small fountain

There are some men who are never known
to give nn unconditional assent to any propo

We have in Mind a person of title charac

'ln that case, you must like Mr. Smith's,
for if lam not mistaken, his ispreeisely.that

'Very true, but then it's too high.'
'flow do you like our new minister? He
is generally popular—a good preacher, a good
pastor, and a good man.'
'Why, yes, I admit all that, but didn't you.

day ?'
No but admitting that to be the case, it Was
no objection to him in his official character.'
'No, but we expect a minister to pay as
much attention to dressing as other folks.'
'Ypu have a fine field of potatoes yonder,
Mr. White.'
'Yes they look well enough above ground,
but there is no knowing but they may be all
rotten before they are gathered.' - - •
'The new railroad will be a great thing—for
the town, and do very much to build it up;
don't you think so ?'
•Wollll dot know but it may, but then it
will be very noisy, so that a body can't have
a quiet moment to himself.'
Almost despairing of obtaining a straight
forward, unconditional answer to our inquir
ies, we, as a lait resort, pointed out a boy who
was passing by, and remarked:
'That boy has very dirty hands.'
'Yes,' said Mr. White, 'yes, but—but—but,'
be was evidently seeking some way in which
to bring in an objection. At length his face
brightened up and continued —'but if they
could be washed they would be cleaner.
We left him to his reflections.— Yankee
Blade.
Dva_We read that Napoleon was a very
awkward dancer. On one occasion he danced
With a very beautiful countess, who could not
conceal her blushes at his ridiculous postures.
On. lending her to ber seat, he remarked:
.Itho fact is, madam,'my forte lies not so much
in dancing - myself as in making others dance."
This reminds us of an anecdote of Daniel Web
ster, who being present at a ball in Waihing
ton, during the period of his incumbency as'
Sect4tary of State, was asked by an effeminate
foppish sort of a übnp, who thought a good
deal of his dancing, "Don't you dance, Mr.
Webster 1 I never saw You dancing." "No,"
said Mr. Webster,' as he only could say and
look such things, "I never had the capacity
to learn how, sir."
