of more than ordinary sensitive natures,
declare plural marriage to be the ideal

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

husbands, as I am told she was subse

only conjecture.

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

protection that the strong owe to the
