THE MORMONS. 
at this moment ab 
No “ social topic ” is 
sorbing more attention than that which in¬ 
volves the perpetuation of polygamy as 
practiced by the Mormons. The action of 
the United States Courts during the past 
few weeks is a blow at the foundation of this 
system under which the whole social fabric 
of the Utah Mormons is staggering. Its 
leaders are arraigned for polygamous prac¬ 
tices which United States law,controlling as 
it does iu United States Territories, does not 
tolerate. Bkioham Young, the chief of this 
peculiar people, is arraigned nt the bar of 
justice to answer for what is deemed his li¬ 
centiousness. He has given hail, and, it is 
asserted, has fled. Lale dispatches assert 
that an expedition is fitting out to pursue 
him. Another prominent Mormon has beeu 
convicted, under a similar indictment, and 
sentenced according to law. Others have 
been arrested on the charge of murder. 
There is commotion in the camp of the 
Saints, and the Gentiles are anathematized 
and threatened. Many of the latter, fear¬ 
ing that attempts will he made to execute 
their threats, have sent their families away. 
United Slates troops are concentrating nt 
Salt Lake in sufficient force to suppress any 
outbreak. But. Mormonism in the United 
Slalcs—or at least polygamy—seems doom¬ 
ed. Notwithstanding the growth of wllftl 
are called “ Free Ideas," and the propaga¬ 
tion of “ Free Love” doctrines, the moral 
and social sense of the people of this coun¬ 
try sustains this war on the plurality-of- 
Avives system, and refuses to regard it us a 
religious creed to be respected. If the 
voice of the People is the voice of God— as 
some affect to believe—then this assertion 
of public opinion will be found irresistible, 
and Mormauism, so long as it tolerates po- 
lygmany, will cease to be recognized as a 
religion.

For fifty thousand, yen, and more.

My hoys I vn give ’em each a farm ; 
The girls got murrled you »eo. 
And two have moved to Iowa, 
And one to Tennessee. 
You know 1 said I’d never stay 
Among l he rooks and dig.

The Yankee* would call big. 
But yon were thinking of your books, 
For lenrtnn’ was your trade; 
Amt each one thought, a foolish choice 
The other one hud made. 
Well, Il.VN.vHR said she’d go with mc,- 
Her folks at. hist gave in : 
But when she spoke the long "good-by,’ 
It. almost seemed a sin 
To take her off, so young and pert. 
From friends-all In a day. 
For going West was not mere sport. 
And we wont off to stay. 
We never thought of railroads then 
Our stuff made nulte a pile; 
And by the wagons, loaded full. 
1 walked for many a mile. 
At length we came to Illinois, 
And on the prairie broad, 
I built our eufdn. low and small. 
Of pine boards, roughly sawed. 
The grass was high, JACK, just believe. 
As high ns Han \nu’f» head. 
Ami in the nlghtthn wolves would come 
A sinelllii' round the shed. 
The deer run by, just lots and scorns; 
I’d shoot 'em from the door; 
And sometimes we would dud a snake 
A crawlin' ’cross Hie floor. 
1 broke the prairie, and It took 
Ten oxen for a team. 
I hauled our wood full fifteen miles. 
And forded all Ihttstreams: 
And set Hers eamn and entered land. 
And life seemed bright and gay. 
When there win built, a neighbor's house 
Only three miles away. 
We worked how hard you folks can't know 
Unless you've tried It too. 
And started out and made u farm 
Where all was wild and new. 
The ager shook us, off and oil. 
All the first year or two; 
Wo saw lough times, IlANNER and t. 
But somehow wo pulled through. 
We wrote hack Fast once In a whllo. 
But postage It was high ; 
Our quarters, too. were mighty scarce. 
No stage wtlllt lumberin' by. 
We never united ’em for a cent. 
For we had ton much grit, 
And never thought of givin’ up, 
Nor even once said quit. 
The seasons changed, and wheat and corn 
Were plenty in the pun. 
And brighter hopes beat doctor's stuff 
in curin' ager Mien. 
Tho yearn passed on. the house was full 
Of children, largo and small. 
And hired men made lots of work. 
But HtNNFfh did It all. 
As crops turned well on that, fresh soil. 
And wheat and hugs went high, 
I kept a buyln' some more hind 
That was right handy by. , 
And when the cars came whistlin’ Ihrough. 
My I how the laud did rise'. 
And how them towns sprung up so quick. 
Just upenod folks’os eyes. 
And then l built ft bigger house. 
For if was all the rage: 
We must keep loggfn' on, you know. 
In this fast-stlrrin’age. 
And when it wa» nil done just right. 
And every thing sot straight. 
And 1 told HANNBU she’d live) nice, 
She said 'twna now too late. 
Yes, Jack : I’m glad you like my place. 
And think that I've done well: 
And vet there's more 1 hardly kuow 
Exactly how t,o toll. 
I’d live on forty acres now, 
To have Arr buck again;’

That money dou't make men.

Somehow right In they creep. 
And someth lug that tho true Book soys

ARSENIC IN WALL PAPER. 
A STRING OF PEARLS, 
of a very bright shade of green, were arsem 
cal; but the fact is, as proved by the analy 
sis of eminent chemists, that every paper 
which contains any green in the pattern, no 
matter how little, or of what shade, as a 
general title contains arsenic, and is, there¬ 
fore, injurious to health. One shade of green 
is no safer than another, for the very palest 
greens frequently contain large quantities 
of arsenite of copper, the brilliant color of 
which is toned down to any degree of pale¬ 
ness l>y ilie addition of chalk, and sometimes 
of white lead; tlie result being that pale 
green papers often contain just ns much ar¬ 
senic as those of brighter color. The quan¬ 
tifies of arsenic used in green papers appear 
almost unlimited, varyiug from the fractional 
part of a grain up to the frightful amount of 
six, nine, fourteen grains and upward to the 
square foot. I have beside me some pale 
green papers, Hie analysis of which give 
those amounts, and the illness produced in 
some cases all but fatal. I have also by me 
a paper with green leaves on a white ground, 
containing no less than eight grains to the 
square foot, which caused most serious ill¬ 
ness. There appears good reason for be¬ 
lieving that a very large amount of sickness 
and mortality among all classes is attributa¬ 
ble to this cause, and that it may probably 
account for many of the mysterious diseases 
of the present day which so continually baffle

was followed by the main body of Mormons 
who arrived in the fall of 1848. Then began 
the wonderful system of improvement and 
self support, under the executive direction

1850 this settlement was admitted into the 
Union as a Territory and Yhigham Young 
was appointed Governor by President Fill¬

Judges appointed were distrusted by the 
Mormons and driven out of the Territory.

EARTHQUAKES BENEFICIAL. 
At the first sight it may seem paradoxical 
to assert that earthquakes, frequently de¬ 
structive as they have so often proved, are 
yet essentially preservative and restorative 
phenomena; yet this is strictly the case. 
Had no earthquakes taken place in olden 
times, man would not now be living on the 
face of the earth ; if no earthquakes were 
to take place in the future, the term of 
man’s existence would be limited within a 
range of time far less than that to which it 
seems likely, in nil probability, to be extend¬ 
ed. If the solid substance of the earth 
formed a perfect sphere in ante-geological 
times—that in ages preceding those to which

A CAPITAL STORY FOR YOUNG FOLKS, 
BY LAURA 60 UTUGATE. 
“ Come, Bernard, don’t work any longer 
—supper is nearly ready.” 
Bernard looked up when his mother 
spoke ; lie knew by her pleasant, smile, she 
thought his day’s work had made ihe little 
garden look very nice. Then Bernard 
went in to his supper of bread and milk. 
While he ate it he sat by the window, and 
wished ho had two or three pairs of hands 
that he might keep the potato patch, and 
the whole of the garden looking a great 
deal nicer yet. 
Bernard was twelve years old, and tho 
house, where ho lived Ayith his father and 
mother, was a very littwbrown house ; they 
had hardly any money, for Mr. Barton, 
Bernard’s father, was o)d and had the 
rheumatism a groat deal of the time; he 
could not work at all, and then the mother 
—when Bernard thought of his mother, 
so pale, and so often 6ick, he would wish 
and wish that he was a man, so that ho 
could do more work and take care of his 
father and mother. 
Often up in his little room he would sit 
by tlhe window and think about the nice 
house lie should build when he was grown 
up, and how his mother should have a beau¬ 
tiful nrm chair to sit in, and his father a 
horse and wagon, so tlint when he had the 
rheumatism lie need never walk. 
Now it happened this evening that I am 
telling you about, alter Bernard had eaten 
his supper he went up, ns lie olten did, and 
sat by bis little window; then he began

to help his father uiui mother. And there
