The wedding day to huBband number two drew near when he discovered that his prospective bride could not be sealed to him as the Mormon church is not Inclined to be liberal In the mat ter oi Husbands, and although a man may have any number of celestial wives, the woman must confine herself to one husband.

The VDrosoectlva bridegroom was natura.u V "onnnuii -t wandering all through; eternity alone, and refused majrlaM wltbout setting.. The poor woman was evidently enam ored of him and went to Brigham Toung who was at that time living. He waa equal to the seemingly dif ficult emergency and readily cut the Oordlan knot by divorcing her from her dead husband. The marriage ceremony that made her happy for the second I time was performed, but scarce had the i honeymoon waned, than tender thoughts t of husband No. 1 came to shadow her bliss, and the thought of his having 1 to live all of eternity alone, without a i wife to his name, dent her once more to the clever Brigham for the solution of this new grief. He was equal to the occasion and I granted her a permit extraordinary i which made It possible for he- to "go through the temple" as a proxy for a young woman of her acquaintance, who, by the way was never apprised of the honor conferred upon her. and this young woman was sealed to the dead husband to thus be his wife for eter nity. How Brigham will solve the diffi culty when this wife, so strangely wed. shall wake up In eternity with two husbands, as I am told she was subse quently sealed to another man, I can only conjecture. Ha never was at a loss In this world and he may be equally wise In the next. It seems an almost unthinkable thing , that these awful practices have not re ceived such attention from our law makers as would have given the Ignor ant neonle who are their victims the protection that the strong owe to the weaK.
