VOL. VII.
. FOUND A WIFE.
When the theaters were letting oat
in days when theater hours were
longer than they are now there step
ped forth into the frosty winter night,
amid a crowd of play-goers, a man of
about four-and-twenty and about tho
middle height, broad shouldered,
dark-haired, and, with black eyes a
very handsome man, and dressed in a
stylo which, costly and elegant, be
came him wonderfully well.
There came a little wail upon his
ear a cry almost like that of an in
fant and, looking down, Harry Bol
ton saw upon the pavement, close be
side him, a little girl not more than
five years old. She wore what ap-
E eared to be a handful of rags, and
er tiny feet and curly head were
bare. A more miserable object the
moon never looked upon, and the
moan she made touched the young
man's heart lie knelt down and
caught her as she passed by.
Stop little one," he said. 4What
brings you out this night ? Where
do vou live ? And where is your
motherT
The child struggled to escapeV but
when the last question came, stood
still, and answered with a sob:
"In heaven. I want to go there."
"You are on the right road, then,
this winter night; half-naked and
starving, too, I fancy," said Harry to
himselt. lie began to question her
again.
"Where do you live ?"
"I don't know."
"AVho lakes care of you ?"
"Nobody."
"It looks like it. Have you had
any supper ?"
"I don't want supper, I want my
mamma," and the child began to cry.
Harry Bolton endeavored to re
member some portion of his childish
education.
"You want to go to heaven, do
you," he asked. "It appears to me I
remember being told that children
who cried never went to heaven, and
I am very sure that children who do
not mind never do ; remember that."
The child understood, and the ef
fect of this doubtful moral teaching
was at least to silence her. Then the
moon witnessed a phenomenon. Har
ry Bolton, the dandy, the dashing
gambler, the man of betting-books,
shouldering a ragged chjld and walk
ing away with her in the most self
possessed fashion.
"We must have some supper," he
said. "We must not be too fashiona
ble under the circumstances, howev
er : and so 6aymg he descended into
a cellar eating-house, where, at the
late hour, the few guests were too
much intoxicated to notice the singu
lar pair, and only the proprietor and a
few of his employes remained to be
astonished.
Marching down the room with per
fect sana troid. Harry Bolton perch
ed the child upon one, of the chairs,
and seating himself at a table ordered
beefsteak, brandy and water for two.
and the order being filled, ordered
his companion to -'go ahead," and
watched to see the mandate obeyed
in vain ; the child stared at the viands
in astonishment, bnt made no attempt
to eat.
Harry remained in a puzzled condi
tion for some time, then beckoning to
a grinning waiter made him his confi
dant in this wise:
"Yon look like a family man, wai
ter. Do you know any war of mak
ing a child take to its feed 'f
"Not 6ach feed as that, sir, replied
the waiter. "Milk and water is what
they likes, and bread and butter; or
if meat, chopped up into bits like.
Bless ye ! look at her tiny teeth, sir."
"To be sure," said liarry. "Well,
cut the meat up, then bring her some
bread and butter; but milk and wa
ter youll make the poor thing sick,
won't you? It would me."
"Yon and ber is constructed differ
ent," said the waiter.
Harry nodded.
Food being prepared to suit her ap
petite the child ate greedily, to Har
ry's satisfaction, and after sufficing
her to her heart's content and strip
ping himself of his overcoat, wrap
ped the waif in it and started for
home- " -
He had a splendid set of bachelor
apartments, and there he found a
glowing fire awaiting him. The
child, when he opened the coat, was
sound asleep; so tncking her into bed
in a grimy state, which would have
shocked any good housewife's heart,
Harry composed himself in a great
arm chair, and lighting a cigar began
to smoke. .
All night he sat smoking and think
ing, and by dawn his plans were form
ed. ' A consultation with the land
lady ended with the consignment of
the child to the care ol , an elderly
woman, warranted conscientious and
amiable. Harry Bolton found him
self the guardian of an adopted child.
From that moment a change came
over tbe young man's life. He had
an object to think of and care for.
He said to himself ; "I will bring up a
daughter for my. old age,'', and set
himself to work to become . a fitting
parent for the wonderful woman he
had proposed to make her. ,He quit
his habits of dissipation, half his time
was spent in visiting his charge, who,
well dressed and well cared for, grew
every day more lovely and engaging.
He taught her to call him Uncle Har
ry, and it was 6trange to see the
young man devoting himself, as some
old. grandfather , might, j to all the
whims and pleasures of a little child.
: As she grew older he placed her in
a boarding school, and there of course
saw less of her, yet still as much as
the rules of the establishment wbuld
allow nntil the child was somewhat
past twelve years old, when a vio
lent illness prostrated her , guardian
upon came what near being his death
bed, and the doctor ordered him . im
mediately on his recovery to go to
H.u rope, i bo they were separated,
a regular co.Tespondence was main
tained. lelicate beahb ' detained
Harry from bb native land five years.
, At the end of that time Harry Bol-1
ton returned home, Improved in
health, and anxious to see his adopt
ey daughter. He knew she had
grown older, but so little do we re
flect on the changes that time must
bring, that when inquiring for Estella
Gray (this Was the name the child
had lisped whon questioned), as ho
waited in the parlor of tho Beminary,
a lovely girl of seventeen opened the
door and entered the room, he could
scarcely believe his eyes.
Yet it was she indeed the child,
he had left grown into womanhood.
Estella was seventeen and Harry Bol
ton thirty-five." There seemed to be
but little difterence between their
ages after all. Both fU this, and
their manner towards each other was
more reserved in consequence. A
lovlier creature never met Harry's
ryes. As he walked homeward he
said to himself:
"What if, after all, I have been
rearing a wifo for myself?"
"Then with a half laugh he mutter'
ed to himself:
"No, I am too old for her it is all
folly."
I oily or not, the thought remained.
He paid Estella such delicate atten
tion as suitors do. He anticipated
her every wish aud did bis best to
appear in an agreeable light At
times he hoped, at times he feared,
until calling one afternoon (a holiday)
unexpectedly, he found Estella tete-a-tete
with a young friend, Ernest Clark.
It was a good excuse for intimacy,
but the knowledge that Estella had
another male friend so much nearer
her own age than himself, annoyed
and angered Harry. He thought
they loved each other, and that he
would have to give her up.
"I will go back to Europe," said he.
"I will forget her. Wedlock is not
for me."
And on the impulse of the mo
ment, he ordered his baggage to be
packed, took passago in the next
steamer for Europe, and went to the
seminary to bid Estella good -by.
She came in smiling, but his moody
looks made her grave at once. She
put her hand in his ar.d he shook it
coldly and sat down beside her and
said :
"I have come to say good by. I
am going to Europe."
"Mr. Bolton 1 to Europe ? Are you
ill again ?"
"No."
"Will yon stay long."
"Forever."
The great tears swelled in Estclla's
eyes, and she put her hand on her
heart she evidently could not epeak.
"I would advise your remaining
here until you are a year older un
less, indeed, you marry before that
time. In that catc you will, of course,
receive the necessary funds, and a cer
tain sum I shall leave in my banker's
bands for that purpose."
"I shall not marry,'' sobbed Estella,
"there is no need of any such provis
ion." Harry smiled sarcastically.
"The proposition has not come,
then'r" he said.
Estella s head dropped lower.
"I fancied you were engaged to this
young Ernest."
Estella sobbed again.
"I care nothing for Ernest, nor he
for me. We are only mere acquaint
ances." Harry caught her hand.
"Is this girlish evasion," be asked
sternly, "or the truth Y"
Harry Bolton looked into the tear
flushed face, aud took the other little
hand.
"Estella," he said, "do you guess
why I was leaving America 'f
She shook her bead.
"Because I could not see the girl I
love married to another. Am I too
o'd to love ?"
"O, no."
"Too old to be loved ?"
"You are not old at all."
"Estella can you love me ?"
She made no reply. Harry drew
ber closer to hira and repeated the
question ; then the answer came in the
lowest, faintest whisper:
"I love you better than my life; it
would kill me to part with you."
A week after he sailed for Europe,
but not alone. His lovely bride went
with him.

POLYGAMOUS MAINTN.
Inercstlntj Goip About Celes
tlstl Marriages.
, Salt Lake City, June 25, '72.
A general impression prevails
throughout the United States that the
Mormons are inclined to relinquish
the doctrine and practice of polya
my, and that this moral improvement
has been induced by the experience
the people of Utah have had ; in
the clebrated "lascivious cohabi
tion" trials wherein Brighara Young
and other high dignitaries of the
Church figured. Nothing could be
more erroneous than this impression.
The Mormons have not the remotest
intention of doing any such thing. If
they were to give up polygamy they
would lose the great biuding force
that keeps them together.
PROMULGATION OF TJIE FAMOUS DOC
TRINE.
;
The doctrino of "Celestial Mariage,"
as it is finely and delicately termed
by the Saiuts, was promulgated on
the 12th of July, 1813, in Nauvoo,
III., by the great Mormon prophet,
Joseph Smith. It has been ascertain
ed, however, that Mormons practiced
1olygany, or celestial marriage, long
;cfore the doctrine was given to the
public. It was to hide the adultery
practiced by the first Mormons that
the revelation was put forth. Joseph
Smith, himself, had several wives be
fore he had his revelation on celestial
marriage. One was his legal spouse,
but the rest be married spiritual!) be
cause they were affinities. Some of
his followers thirsted for spiritual
wives, also, but they were "not holy
enough in the sight of the Lord" to be
honored with such blesaings. They
took umbrage at this and became
jealous of tho l'rophot A division
aroe and some of the oldest and
most devoted Mormons were cut off
from the Church. While Joseph
Smith lived he did not permit any
man in the Church or out of it to con
trol his actions. He was often heard
to say that be would rather be the
only Mormon living than have "sticks"
in the Church. By "sticks" he meant
followers who could be easily driven
away when things did not exactly
mote to suit them.
josEl'II AND URIGUAU TAKING A FE
MALE HEART.
Whenever the present apostates
from Mormonistn wish to be merry at
Brigham's expense they tell a good
story of the way himself and Joseph
tried to tame a female heart. The in
cident occurred in IB 12, a year before
the revelation on polygamy was giv
en. This corroborates the statement
that the Mormons practiced polyga
my before Smith publicly proclaimed
it a doctrine of the Church. But to
the taming rrocess. The lady in
question was Miss Martha A Brother
ton, a handsome young Englishwo
man. Brighara met her at Nauvoo
and fell in love at first sight Ho was
a married man at the time and had a
family. Martha did not reciprocate
Brigham's pabeion, aud so Joseph,
was called in to assist brother Brig
hara. Martha was invited to call at
the private office of Joseph, which she
did. After some preliminary conver
sation the subject was broached.
Joseph said it would be all right if
3Iartha married Jingham, and de
clared . that he (Brighara) was "the
best man in the world," next to
himself. The Prophet then left, and
tho next movement of Brigham was
an attempt to kiss Miss Brolherton.
The story does not say whether
Brigham was successful or not; but
be certainly made the attempt. Mar
tha asked time to study over the seri
ous matter of marrying another wom
an's husband, which being granted,
she escaped from the Mormons. To
this day the incident delights the
Mormon women, and they tell it with
that quaint and relishable zeal charac
teristic of the gentler sex.
MORMON YOUNG GIRLS OPPOSED TO
' . POLYGAMY.
There can be no doubt that the
gretit majority of young Mormon girls
are opposed to polygamy. They have
not their own way always, and so are
often compelled to give themselves
up to this degradation. But those
born in Utah are very rebellious, as
are the young ladies who have in any
way been favored with the society of
respectable Gentile women. The
principal converts to polygamy are
taken from the females who arrive
from England,' Wales, Norway and
Denmark and other foreign countries.
The English and Danish make the
least objection. The strongest de
fenders of the Mormon men, especial
ly those who are Americans, prefer
English women for polygamous wives
to any other. The reason is that
they are strong, healthy, active and
firm in faith; An American Mormon
does not like to marry an American
wife in polygamy. Indeed, he might
like to do it well enough, but such, a
wife usually makes things mighty hot
for him. She will have her own way.
The first wife of a Mormon, that is of
a Yankee Mormon is, generally speak
ing, an American! woman. Wiile
thus gossiping about male Mormons,
I am struck with the strange fact that
nearly all "
THE LEADING MORMONS ARE YANKEES,
From the very best Puritan stock.
The two most eminent men the
Church ' ever had were Americans,
namelyJoseph Smith and Brigham
Young. The famous Rigdon, . who
did so much'; to foist the Book of
Mormon upon the public, was a genu
ine Yankee also. The Pratts and
Hydes, names clebrated in Mormon
history, are Americans. Among the
foreigners, John Taylor and Geo, Q.
Cannon, both Englishmen, are the
most famous. Thus your readers will
see that Mormonism is a genuine
Yankee institution, and that in the
matter of receiving its .supply of con
verts, both, men and women, old Eng
land comes nahdsomely tip to replen
ish New England as represented by
Mormonism. So much for this noto
rious Anglo-American delusion.
THE FUTURE STRONGHOLD OF POLYG
AMY. ' ''; ''
Salt Lake City, or, as it is called
in prophetic language, New Jeru
salem, is no longor the stronghold of
polygamy. It is true that a vast tem
ple is being built here ' that the mas
sive tabernacle is already consecrated
by the Saints, that tbe Endowment
House, the Lion House, and other in
stitutions of a like character will re
main to make this burg essentially
Mormon in appearance, but the real
power of tbe Saints, that which makes
them most remarkable among sects,
namely, polyamy, is to bo transferred
to St. George, Southern Utah. At
that distant plate a new Temple will
be constructed and another ICndow
roent House planned. There the
Mormons will, for a time st least, be
free from Gcutil influences, - It will
be for a time only, as railroad and
mining influences are spreading all
over the the Territory. It is mooted
that St George is to be the grand
center of a peaceful
MOItMO.V CRUSADE AGAINST MEXICO.
It has long been the ambition of Briz-
ham Young to extend the "stakes of
Aion toward Sonora, the most north
ern Slate of the Mexican Uepublic. I
am credibly informed that Brighara
has already planned out settlements
in Arizona and New Mexico. It is
said that a few years ago he sent some
missionaries to explore the States of
orwiern mexico ana sounu me lead
ing men on the subject of Mormon
'win. The result was all that Brigham
could expect. As far as regards po
lygamy, this institution has always ex
isted jn Mexico. It was not, how
ever, a religious doctrine with the
Mexicans, but simply a social custom.
I am told by men who traveled ex
tensively in Mexico, that it is no un
common thing to find JDons there
with from two to seven qucrldat, The
queridas are simply, with the Mor
mons call spiritual wives. It tbe
Mormons are to increaso in power
they must certainly move toward the
south and extend into Mexico. East
ward they cannot go, for public sen
timent is strong and bitter against
tbem.
60ME LOCAL SENSATIONS.
The book late published by .Mrs.
T. B. II. Stenhouae has created a
great sensation among the Saints.
The authoress deals heavy blows at
Brigham as a prophet, seer and reve
lator. Mrs. Slcnhouse has spent the
best portion of her life among the
Mormons, and knows how it is her
self. Mrs. S. was in polygamy, and
on this particular subject she is scath
ing. She considers this an infamous
institution. It is strange, with her
present belief, that she could ever
have entered tho polygamous tie or
have given her oldest daughter to one
of Brigham's sons a man who Lad
three wives at the time he married
Mis Stcnbouse. But this world is
full of queer things.
A JOUR PRINTER WITH THREE WIVES.
While standing near the theater a
few days ago, a man was pointed out
to me at the other side of the street
who is the happy possessor of three
wives. . He is a jour printer by trade,
and evidently about thirty years of
age. J lis first two wives he married
the same day, and, characteristic of the
financial conditiou of the best printers,
it is said " be didn't have a cent in his
pocket the day he married them."
Since then this polygamous disciple
of Ben Franklin has taken another
spouse to bis lordly bosom. I am not
well posted in the phraseology of
printers, but 1 should say that bis
"case" was "badly pied" and that he
must be often out of "sort." How
in the name of Heaven he can sup
port three wives by his work as a
jour is something I cannot under
stand. It may , be easy enough after
be gets used to it.
A BLACKSMITH WITH FIVE WIVES.
A son of Vulcan beats the jour
printer, for he has five wives. One of
them, I am told, has been bed-ridden
for five years. - This blacksmith was
pointed out to me in the street, and a
more insigmhcant-looking man could
not be met with. He was small in
stature, careworn, as he well might
be, and looked dilapidated in every
way. He looked like anything else
but a brawny blacksmith or the hus
band of five wives. I might fill up
columns narrating instances of tbe
kind just mentioned, truly, JUor
monism is an extraordinary institu
tion.
Toucmso Incident. A little news
boy, attempting to jump from a street
car, tbe other day, feu under the car
and was fearfully mangled. As soon
as be could speak he called piteously
for his mother, and a messenger was
sent at once to bring her to him. On
her arrival she hung over the dying
boy in agony of grief. . .
"Motheiy' he whispered, with a
painful ellort, "x sold four newspa'
pers and the the money: is in
my pocket. t ,
With the hand of death , upon his
brow, tbe last thought of tbe sutler
ing child was for the poor hard-work

New Mrii-PnoDtJctNd Tree. Anew
milk-producing tree in the Valley of
the Amazon has lately been brought
to the notice of Europeans. It is
known as the "Massaranduba," and
appears to be a species of "Mimu
sops," of the natural order of "sapo
taeeae." The wood is valuable, and
used for various purposes, and tbe
milk flows freely from the trunk upon
incision, but hardens on exposure to
the air, and then has an elastic prop
erty. Bimilar to that , of gutta-percha.
This juice is used as food when fresh,
but never in its pure state, being
either, mixed with a small quantity of
water, or with coffee or .tea like ordi
nary milk. ' -
IIUMKY WILSON ,
The Radical candidate for Vice
President, is the illegitimate son of
g'Py girl by tbe name-of Leathers,
whose family have, been well known
in the central portion of New Hamp
shire for many years, where they
have passed that species of nomadic
life which characterizes the whole
tribe. His father is said to have
been Eastman. . Jexemiah Col-
batb who is his half-brother, Las
been kept by him for tbe last ten
years as a door-keeper in the Senate.
At the age of about ten years Hen
ry left the maternal tent of the gip
sy tribe, and subsequently by an Act
of th Massachusetts Legislature had
his name changed from Leathers to
Wilson. ' :,. v s ,
He was born at Farmington, New
Hampshire, Feb. 16th 1812. His
early years were spent upon s farm,
but on attaining bis majority be re
moved to Nattick, Mas., where he
learned shoe-making, and wae after
ward quite a successful manufacturer
of what is known among the trade as
"common brogans." Having aspi
rations above the lapstone, be soon
took an interest in politics, and in
1840, was elected to tbe Legislature
where he served for four years, and
then four years in the State Senate,
of which body he wae President for
two sessions. In 1818 be became
editor and proprietor of a now de
funct journal called tbe Boston Re
publican; iu 1852 be was tbe Free
Soil candidate for Congress and de
feated; in 1853 was a member of the
State Constitutional Convention; and
in 1855 was elected Senator in Con
gress, and re-elected in 1859 for tbe
long term. From 1842 to 1851 he
was connected with the Massachu
setts militia, first as major and after
wards as Colonel and Brigadier Gen
eral. In 1861, following tbe bent of
bis military inclinations, be raised
tbe Twenty-second Massachusetts
regiment of volunteers, and in the
capacity of Colonel joined the army
of tbe Potomac, where he became
aide-de-camp to McClellan, and re
mained in that position until Con
gress assembled. He was Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, and discharged the duties of
that responsible office during tbe
whole war. He was re-elected rotbe
Senate in 1866, and again in 1871,
and has served on. several important
committees beside the one mention
ed. He has written a work entitled
"Anti-Slavery Measures in Con
gress," and also a history of tbe
Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth
Congresses, and has been prominent
ly identified with all the Radical leg
islation since the termination of the
tbe rebellion. Not long since be en
tered into a controversy with Judge
Jeremiah S. Black in regard to the
record of the late Edwin M. Stanton,
and received from his opponent an
excoriation which not only put an
end to all further discussion on his
part, but placed tbe character of the
deceased Secretary in an exceedingly
disagreable light This, we believe,
was the last ppearance of Senator
Wilson in print.
EANTEBX OBEUOX GOLD MINE
The Mountain Sentinel contains
tbe following, in relation to a discov
ery which we mentioned a few days
since :
"Mr. White, a resiJent of Baker
county, after having spent about
$9,000 in prospecting in and near
Auburn in tbat county, has at last
been rewarded with unparalleled suc
cess. Sometime ago be discovered
a quartz lode, which undoubtedly is
tbe richest in gold ever discovered on
tbe coast In brief the ordinary
quartz from tbe lode yields $600 to
the ton, but it is the pockets in . tbe
same where the riches come in. In
one pocket be secured $4,000 of the
Erecious stuff in four days, and others
ave been struck much richer. Mr.
Stacy, a reliable gentleman of Au
burn, visited the mines and stated to
our informant,' Mr. John Howard,
that he saw in the pocket numberless
nuggets as large as a mans fist. Mr.
Stacy is known in this community
to be a man of truthfulness and not
addicted to exaggeration. Mr.
White has four men employed in
guarding his mine of treasure and
no person but those well and - favor
ably known can even visit it. Mr.
Lacy asserted positively that he could
in a few moments pick np a fortune
in nuggets from the pocket alluded to.
In consequence of this extraordina
ry discovery property in the town of
Auburn baa taken a sudden rise, and
lots and houses which a week ago
could have been bought for a song,
have quadrupled in price. We veri
ly believe that other discoveries and
rich ones will soon be made in that
vicinity, and experienced miners are
of the same opinion, " ' , '
P. S. We, learn that Capt. J.C.
Ainsworth of Portland is tbe princi
ple owner (and capitalist) interested
in the lode." .

Dox't , Advertise. Don't do it.
Don't advertise your buisness; it's
paying out money to accommodate
other people; if they want to boy
your goods, let them hunt you up.
Don t advertise, for it gets your
your name abraod and you are apt to
be flooded with circulars from bus-
ness houses, and to be bored with
"drummers from the wholesale es
tablishments, of which also results in
soliciting your order for new goods
and money to pay for tbem, which is
very annoying to one of a dyspeptic
temperament.
Don t advertise, for it brings
people in from the country, (country
folks, you know, are of an enquiring
turn of mind,) and they will ask you
astonishing questions ' about prices
try your temper with showing
them goods, and even vex you with
the request to tie them up; which
puts you to an additional trouble of
buying more. ' , .
Don't advertise; it gives people
abroad a knowledge of your town,
and they come and settle in it; it will
grow, and other buisness men will be
induced to come in and thus increses
your competition.
In short, if you would nave a quiet
town, not too large; if yon would not
be harrassed by multitudinous cares
and perplexities of business; if you
would avoid being bothered with
paying for and losing time to read a
great cumbersome newspaper, just
remain quiet; don't let the people
know five miles away where vou are,
know what you are doing, and yon
will be severely let alone to enjoy tbe
bliss of undisturbed repose.
Grandmother's Staff. What do

was too poor to have anything like
that. ' Why, her best Sunday-go-to

her woolen shawl-was worn almost
threadbare. Yet, poor as she was,
she wouldn't have given her staff for
all tbe gold-beaded canes tbat ever
were made. It was an odd sort of a
staff too a sort one does not : see

high, and had a head tor all the world

boy of fifteen. I had to look twice
