A IOIIIOI IUIIIIIIIE.

“In one house We! a tidy English women. ftoiu Beth, of some native refinement of manner.

The room was garnished with little momctitot.-_e of‘

her native city ; end. ee she took down a print to show me the environs, end the particular point from which she came, her eyes filled with tears at the remembrance of home. I folteome lice- itetiori in probing her heart with the ruthless qucatioo—'Are you the only wife! "Pretty soon, a broad. red-faced women came in, and seemed perfectly at home. As soon as she went o.it ol

the room, Iesid:-—"l'liat tvoinati lives with oiil’—-*Yee.’—‘Are you relatives?’ _'l‘lie poor thing twisted her uproo—lier lips qutvoretl. I

then asked: 'Shc is your liusband’e second wife I’ It wee some moments before she could littd. words to assure me that it wee oven to. She then went on to narrate, in a simple. attics. way. liuvt liitppilv she and her husband had lived together; how they were anxious to emigrate to this cotent'y , how they lied been told that the Valley of Salt eke was a paradise ; tltat her husband could have land for nothing, end cant five dollars a day; how their expenses had been defrayed by the Mormon agents, to be refunded by her husband's labour here on the public works. And then. with rear. streaming down lter face, ehe sail her husband, about three months since, had it persuaded to marry another wife, and how hull ehe felt when she first heard ofliis resolution. This coarse. lilovizy, greasy specimen of womu. hood had ruled her with a rod of iron. She could not even have the privilege of a cup of tee without asking this jada’s permission. so Olcctually had the intruder usurped ell authority in this hiimlilc abode. My heart wept for her. She believed in Mormonism, because her husband did ; and he believed, because he thought it a line thing to be a landltoldr.-r, get high wages. and be apt-ioet in the cherch. This kind of logic pro~ bebly accounts for the conversion of the great mass of English here.” fll aroatwrt uoaite itsn -rnarit cortcttrtteiut are naircrtto run.
