THE TWO GLASSES. 
There Bat two glasses filled to the brim, 
Ou a richfmati’s table, rim to rim 
One was ruddy and red as blood, 
And one was clear as the crystal flood. 
Said the glass of wine to Ids paler brother, 
“ Let tis tell the talcs of the past lo each other; 
I can tell or banquet and revel and mirth, 
And the proudest and grandest souls on earth 
Fell under my touch as though struck by blight. 
Where I was king, for I ruled In might. 
From the head* of kings have I torn the crown, 
From the bights of fame haw I hurled men down; 
I have blasted many an honored name, 
I have taken virtue and given shame; 
I have tempted the youth with a sip, a taste, 
That has made, the future a barren waste. 
Far greater than any king am I, 
Or t han any army beneath tire sky. 
I have made the arm of the driver fall, 
And sent the tram from the iron rail. 
I have made good ships go down at sea, 
And the shrinks of the lost were sweet to me; 
For they said,' behold how great you be t 
Fame, strength, wealth, lirCuitlH before you fall, 
And your might and power are over all.’ 
Ho ! Mo ! pale brother," laughed the wine, 
“ Can you boast of deeds as great as mine ?” 
Said the water glass: •* I cannot boast 
Of a king dethroned or n murdered host; 
But I can tell of hearts that once were sad, 
By my crystal drops made light and glad. 
Of thirsts I've iiuouehed and brows I’ve laved; 
Of hand* I’ve cooled and souls I have saved. 
I have leaped through the valley, dashed down 
the mountain: 
Slept iti the sunshine and dropped from the sky, 
And everywhere gladdened the landscape and eye. 
I have eased the hot. forehead of fever and pain ; 
I have made the parched meadows grow fertile 
with grain; 
I can toll of the powerful wheel of the mill 
That ground out the flour and turned at my will; 
I can tell of manhood debased by you 
That I have lifted and crowned anew. 
I cheer, I help, I strengthen and aid, 
I gladden the heart of man and maid; 
I set the chained wine captive free, 
And all arc better for knowing me.” 
These are the tales they told each other, 
The glass of wiuo and its pale brother, 
As they sat together filled to the brim, 
On the rich man's table rim to rim.

BRIGHAM YOUNG. 
When, on June 2T, 1844, JosEpn Smith, the 
founder of Mormonlsm, met bis death at the 
hands of an Infuriated mob at Carthago, Illinois, 
Brioham Young, whose death on the 20th of 
August we lately chronicled, was unanimously 
elected by the twelve apostles to succeed their 
defunct leader. He was then 43 years old, having 
been born In WhitIngham, VI., Juno IS, 1801. He 
was the son of a fanner, had received but little 
scholastic education, and had learned the trade 
of painter and glazier. Up to Ills 31st year he 
was a member of the Baptist Church; but In 1832, 
he joined the Mormons at Kirtland, Ohio, whither 
they had moved arter thu organization of the In¬ 
stitution two years before at Manchester, New 
York, lie soon attracted a good deal of attention 
among the Infant, church, was ordained an elder, 
enrolled an apostle and sent, la 1885 , to make 
proselytes in the Fas tern States, where he was 
very successful. 
In IS45 the extravagant charter granted by the 
Legislature of Illinois, In 1838, to the city of Nan- 
voo was revoked, and the place ror three dayB 
bombarded. Young ar. once made preparations 
to move with his followers to the extreme West, 
where he hoped to bo outside the jurisdiction of 
the Federal authority, and on the return of an 
exploring party that had been sent out to Inves¬ 
tigate the nature of the country, he act out In 1840 
accompanied by his co-reiiglonists, and after a 
weary march across the plains, reached Great 
Salt Lake Valley, which he persuaded them was 
the promised land. Here he founded Salt Lake 
City In 1st", and constituted himself supreme 
ruler of the colony; and In 1843, alter the arrival 
of the main body of the Salats, he organized tUe 
State of Deseret, which applied to Congress for 
admission into the Union. This was refused; but 
in 1850 the Territory of l' Luh was organized and 
Young appointed Governor for four yean by Pres¬ 
ident Fillmore. Next year the Federal Judges 
were forced to quit the Territory, and Col. Step- 
toe of tbo U. S. Army was appointed Governor to 
replace Brigham. It was not until 1854 that he 
reached Utah; but so threatening was the aspect 
of affairs that he resigned the position and wont 
to California. 
In 1877 Alfred Cummings was appointed Gov¬ 
ernor by President Buchanan, and a force of 2,500 
men uuder Col. Ai.usrt Sidney Johnston, was 
sent to protect him In the discharge of his func¬ 
tions. The Mormons oppos' d their entry Into the 
Territory, eaptured their supply train and roreed 
them to winter outside Salt Lake Valley. In 1858, 
a compromise was effected, the troops entered the 
valley, and were stationed at Camp Floyd, about 
40 miles rrom Salt Lake City, where they remained 
until May, 1800, since which time no open hostil¬ 
ity has been manifested by the saints to Federal 
authority. 
On August 20 th, 1852, Young proclaimed that 
he had received a divine revelation, authorizing 
the “ celestial law of marriage ” and sanctioning 
polygamy, which he declared had heen revealed 
to Joe Smith In July, 1843. TUc hitter's widow 
and lour sons at once denied this and headed a 
schism, the malcontents electing Joseph Smith, 
the son of the prophet, as their leader, and taking 
up their residence at N'auvoo, Illinois. So groat, 
however, was the personal power and Inffuenoe 
of Brigham that the number of the secessionists 
has always been small, and polygamy has been 
engrafted as an Institution In the church. Under 
the supremacy of Young an extensive system of 
proselytizing has been in lorcp, and missionaries 
have been sont to nearly every European country. 
These have appealed mostly to the working class¬ 
es and their success has been proportioned to the 
ignoranco of their converts. Accessions to the 
Church, however, have been large, chletly from 
the poorest ranks of laborers In England and es¬ 
pecially Wales. A considerable number have 
also Joined them from Norway and Sweeilen .mil 
imiGIIAM 
a smaller number from Germany, Switzerland 
and France. 
In 1870 the entire population of Utah amounted 
to 80,7 ho, composed of 56,084 natives of the United 
States and 30,702 foreigners: 44,121 males and 42,- 
oor, females. From these figures it Is evident that 
polygamy among the Mormons Is really limited 
to a ruw of the rich who can afford to keep a num¬ 
ber of wives, although there are not enough 
women In the Territory to allow a single wife to 
each man. Over all those or the new faith the 
power of Young was paramount, uiul lie used It 
boldly to enrich himself and the favorites that, 
surrounded him. For nearly a quarter or a cen¬ 
tury he has managed to keep the growing popu¬ 
lation of the place In comparative penury, while 
his own coffers were tilled by the protits or specu¬ 
lation and the proceeds of tithes, gifts, temple 
funds, and other specious devices. Ills Influence 
has been radically bad, while his unscrupulous¬ 
ness, craft, courage, energy and administrative 
abilities, gave him an ascendency which no suc¬ 
cessor can hope to attain. 
Now that Young has been removed, the Govcru- 
rnoni should make short work with Mormonlsm, 
or at least with one feature of It—polygamy, it 
a man marries more than one wife In any other 
part of the country, he Is hunted down by the 
laws, and Justly lodged in prison, but the lecher¬ 
ous salats of Utah sot Justice at deflance, as ir 
crime were a mere question of geography and 
the laws against a plurality of wives bad no foun¬ 
dation In morals. Founded on an exposed fraud, 
supported by ignorance, credulity and lust, Mor- 
monlsm, more demoralizing than slavery, is a dis¬ 
grace to the Nineteenth Century and to the coun¬ 
try that tolerates it. h.

PAULINE. 
(Continued from pane 194.1 
“ No, no—never mind the carriage,” said Paul¬ 
ine, sharply. ’• Wlrntdoes It matter? We can 
puli up behind It. We cannot expect to have the 
shops all to ourselves." 
“ But he will keep you such a long time,” re¬ 
monstrated Charlotte. “ lie will have all sorts of 
prescriptions to be made up, and potions to bo 
mixed. Caudle cannot attend to you both,” 
“ 1 shan’t keep him a moment.” Paulino put 
her hand upon the reins. “ No need to draw in, 
I can get out here.” 
And, scarcely waiting till the wheels stopped, 
she jumped out, and disappeared Into the shop, 
Dr. Tyndali himself holding the door open ror 
her. 
she had caught him at last. 
“ How do you do ? ” 
But the doctor drew back. 
“I think, Miss ha 8arto, I won't come very 
near you, If you please. I have Just come from a 
YOUNG. 
fever patient; and although It Is not an Infectious 
kind—still—allow me to wait outside while you 
are being attended to.” 
" Pray don't,” said the poor girl, desperately. 
But he had closed the door. 
Her purchase wasmade in a moment-a box or 
lozenges—and she came out again. 
“ Is your patient very 111, Dr. Tyndall ? ” put¬ 
ting the change given by the shopman into her 
purse, with great deliberation. 
•* Typhoid fever,” said ho concisely. 
“ Mr. Blundell, is It not 7 " 
“ Yes, Mr. Ralph Blundell. He Is very 111, Miss 
La Harte. 
She closed the purse, and looked him lull In the 
face. 
“ I used to know Mr. Blundell ; he was a mend 
of my brother, who would be sorry—tell mu,” said 
she, suddenly, with a cutoh of her breath, “ have 
you given up hope ? " 
“Given up hope? By no means. We shall 
make a light of It, I can tell you ; but—ah—” 
with an unavoidable Inflection or enjoyment, *• It 
Isa bad case. You know Mr. Ralph V He has 
not led the host kind of lire to bring him through 
a fever. He has been fast, you know—fast. And 
he is not as young as he once was, and every year 
tells. Added to all tills the stupid fellow has 
been going about for the last fortnight with the 
fever upon him, and without permitting anything 
to be done tor it. 1 was not sent for till last 
night, l ought to have been with him ton days 
ago. This Is a growing, creeping mischief; and 
of course, at the nrst, it is not unusual for 
people to be wholly unaware oi their state ; hut 
such neglect as Hus 1 never met with before. It 
was shameful, monstrous; and so I told them. 
They ought to have sent in spite of him, A sick 
man's orders ought to be looked upon as so much 
waste breath, nowever all that can be done 
now—Allow me to hand you in.” 
She was not going to get In, she would walk to 
the next shop. She detained him, however, for ft 
few moments, under a pretext so plausible, that 
It was spoken fearlessly, eagerly. 
“Dr. Tyndall, you will have to go often to 
BlundeUsuyo, of course. Shall I tell our lodge- 
keeper to leave the gates open at night? My 
aunt would bo vexed If you had Ui go round by 
the road; but unless 1 give orders, you may And 
some dUllculty In rousing any body. They wait up, 
on the evenings that we go out.” 
“Thank you-thank you. Yes, 1 may have to I 
go through at all hours, and it saves my horse a I 
good mile and a half taking t hatshort cut, I am 
detaining you ; MlssJermyn Is making signs.” 
“ Shall I say you will pass through to-night ? " 
W lth her back turned on Charlotte she could af¬ 
fect not to perceive the signs. For this ouco. 
Chariot t o should not balk her. 
“To-night.? Well,no; l think not to-night.” 
replied the doctor, thoughtfully. “ I have been 
already there twice, and we have got a good 
nurse. The crisis will not be yet. The thing Is 
to keep him quiet and keep up Ids strength. Ho 
will have need of It all by-aud-by. Mrs. Wyndlmm 
quite well ? ” 
“ Quite, thank you. Hhe Is not out to-day,” 
“ Ah ! Not a day Lor her either. But you young 
ladles mind nothing- 1 see you out In all weath¬ 
ers. 1 tell my daughter I wish she would take a 
lesson. Good morning.” 
He turned from her rather hastily. Two horse¬ 
men, whoso appearanco seemed to Indicate that 
they were returning from a fruitless run, were 
dejectedly traversing the village at a toot’s 
pace. 
To one of these the doctor signalled; and 
having made Ills bow lo Miss La .Sarte, he run out 
Into the street. Tho elder of the pair reined up, 
Major Bournes, who vied with Dr. Tyndall in his 
spring flower-beds; and they now held un ani¬ 
mated discussion on the possibility of obtaining 
some Dutch tulip-roots which tho doctor had an 
Inkling were to be bad cheap. 
“ They did excellently with the Thompsons last 
year,” ho said. “You never saw a finer show. 
Ilow Is your soil fur t ulips ?” 
“ Good, moderately good. But I mean to Im¬ 
prove it. I fancy it is, if anything, too light. Did 
Thompsons have a gcod show ? What were the 
varieties V ” 
“ Chiefly, Contour Pouceau ; magnificent blos¬ 
soms. Oh, Mr. Finch, will you kindly say to Sir 
John-” 
But Dolly had passed on, and drawn up beside tho 
pavement,; at tho moment, he was bending from 
his horse in close conversation with a lady who 
stood upon It. 
Dr. Tyndall looked blankly round, and plunged 
anew Into the congenial dialogue. Ills message lo 
Sir John was not half so Important to him as the 
culture of bla tulips. 
Meanwhile Dolly, with a happy taco, was doing 
Ids best, 
" Good morning,” ho said, cheerily ; “ do you 
patronize Caudle’s 7 ” 
“ For lozenges. Will you have some?” Miss 
La Sarto fumbled with tho string of her pocket. 
“ Will you havoono, Charlotte? ” 
Charlotte put out her hand, keeping her eye on 
Roger all the while. 
Then tho box was held up, and Dolly was a long 
time over Ills selection. 
“ You are sure they won't burn ? ” ho said. 
“ My mother gets hold of some of those long red 
things that look awfully good in the box, and 
they are the greatest shams. You take a handful, 
and when you have hud them In your mouth half 
a minute, tho tours are naming down your 
cheeks. By the way, my governor is ill. l think 
I’ll Like him Home.” 
He made no motion of going In search of them, 
however, lie dallied with his reins, patted his 
horse's neck, and thought of something more to 
say. 
“ Coming to tho Hunt ball, Miss La Sarto ? 
She was not sure ; her aunt had spoken of It. 
She must come ; It was to be one of the best 
they bad bad for many years. He was beginning 
to expiate, when she Interrupted him in a moth¬ 
erly fashion. 
“ Do you know that you are very hoarse? Have 
you caught cold too ? " 
“ 1 have what, the doctor calls ‘a t hroat,’ ” re- 
replled ho. 
“ And what are you doing for it, ? ” 
“Oh, nothing. I shall dance It off to-morrow 
at it. You aro not going there,of course ? With 
us It is a call of duly ; we are always let In for 
It.” 
“ You seem to me to have a very good excuse ; 
but you are coming up lo us lo-nlght V Go and 
usk Dr. Tyndall’s leave, or wo shan't receive 
you." 
“Eh '< ” said Dolly, opening his eyes. 
“ There he Is! go and speak to him, ’ contluued 
Pauline, excitedly. “ When there are so many 
dangerous complaints going about you ought to 
take care, lie will tell you himself liow 111 some 
of his patients are. A sore throat ought not to 
be trilled with.” 
“ Ill do It, to please you." 
His face beamed. “Only, whatever he says, 
you know, you'll aee me to-night all the same.” 
Paulino turned to go. 
“ Nice little pony,” observed Dolly, still keeping 
alongside. 
“ Ho will trot as fast as your horse will,” said 
Charlotte, who had with difficulty kept tho creat¬ 
ure quiet for so long. 
“ Well, 1 dare say,” replied the horseman. 
“ Are you going home, now ? Let us have a trot¬ 
ting match.” 
Major Soainos has wheeled off as he speaks, 
and the little doctor Is pattering back over the 
stones. Miss La Sarte turns round Involuntarily, 
and sees the shop-door open and close after him. 
Then she replies to Dolly’B suggestion Imper¬ 
iously, 
“ No, no; we have a thousand things to do first, 
and we have no more time to waste, Charlotte, 
please go on to the library, take this list, and get 
the books changed. They are under the seat. I 
will walk there, when 1 have handed this note In 
at that red house over there. Good-bye, Mr. 
Finch. Pray" (with an effort at archness,) 
•' pray don't forget your promise.” 
“ EU 7 my promise ? ” said Dolly, stupidly.
