tolygamy among the Morn.cnf.
One ofthe wives of a Mormon in Utah has
written a'loiig letter to her sister in New
Hampshirjt, which is published in the New York
Herald, in defence of the doctrine and practice
of polygamy. She quotes scripture with great
glibness, aid seems to be entirely satisfied with
her religio.1. She tells her sister she would be
greatly phased to visit her kindred in New
Hampshire, but before she can do so, the laws
of the Stat-' must be so modified by enlightened
legislation, and the customs and consciences of
its inhabitants and of her kindred so altered,
that her lnsband can accompany her with all
his wives snd children, and be as much respect
ed and hocored in his family organization and
in his holy calling, as he is at home. Until this
is the case, she says her kindred will be under
the necessity of going to see her, or they will
be mutually " compelled to forego each others
company. She gives us the following account
of her husband :
"I have a good and virtuous husband, whom
I love. "We have four little children, which
are mutually and inexpressibly dear to us. And
besides this, my husband has seven other living
wives, and one who has departed to a better
world. He has in'all upwards of twenty-five
children. Alt these mothers and children are
ftUaideJlfetljJo Hhy:mutal nfTee-
11011 oy acquaintance anu association; anu uie
mothers in particular by mutual and long con
tinued exercises of toil, patience, long su Bering,
and sisterly kindness. We all have our imper
fections in this life; but 1 know that these are
good and worthy women, and that my husband
is a good and worthy man; one who keeps the
commandments of Jesus Christ, and presides in
his family like an Abraham. He seeks to pro
vide for them with all diligence; he loves them
all, and seeks to comfort and make them happy.
He teaches them the commandments of Jesus
Christ, and gathers them about him in the family
circle to call upon his God, both morning and
evening.
She closes her letter
to her sister :
"Dear sister, do not let your prejudices
and traditions keep you from believing the
15iblc; nor the pride, shame or love of the world
keep 3011 from your seat in the kingdom of
heaven, among the royal family of polygamists."

Shape a Fertilizer. That shade is a fer
tilizer, is a fact which has long been noticed,
and much has been written to explain it. A
few words will be sufficient for that purpose.
Shade operates simply by preserving the am
monia which is in the soil, and which is contin
ually furnished by rain and snow- water, and
also by manures, and which is rapidly driven oft'
from a naked surface of the soil by a scorching
sun. To preserve tbe ammonia the skilful far
mer plows in his manure shortly after it is spread
upon the soil; and spreads his manure upon
meadows late in the fall, or in thewinter, or
early in the spring, so tjiatfrite 'ammonia may
be washed out of4teih&the soil, and prevent
its evaporation by the sun. Ammonia is either
food or condiment for most plants, which is ne
cessary to their rapid growth. It has been as-r
certaiued by repeated experiments in England,
that the largest crops of wheat can be raised
by imparting to the soil an extra quantity of
ammonia, or by gnano. Hence the greatest
fertility of the soil will be more surely preserved
by an alternation of crops, rather than naked
fallow, from which a scorching sun drives off
the ammonia rapidly.
We should bear in mind the eloquent, words
of an English writer, that "mighty nature re
news her strength, not by indolent repose, but
by alternations in energy." Ohio Cultivator.
The great Tree o California, a section of
which, 92 feet in circumference, now exhibiting
in the Crystal Palace, has been estimated, by
counting the circles of growth, to Vie upwards cf
two thousand years old. It was 325 feet high.
The section in the Crj-stal Palace has been
hollowed out large enough to drive a pair of
horses and wagon through. A tall man can

Take care of that Young Man. A young
gent, an .acquaintance of ours, was a few even
ings since with a young lady of fashion, making
a specimen of that staple known as love, when
miliar "
teppeu iue Veliei iwc'sSiHrrrfirTacr
The unexpected appearance of an intruder
caused the young man any amount of confusion,
although he was not aware that he stood ia the
presence of his intended father-in-law, never
having had the pleasure of seeing the author of
his idol before. The ladv, as soon as she could i
recover her wonted composure, struck a graceful
attitude upon the floor, and said, "Mr. B
tins is is ray Fa." lhe young lover grasped
the old man's extended digitals, and bowing
obsequiously returned, "How do von do Mr
Pa?"
The old man, seeing the embarrassment of
both, left the room instantly, as he said, "My
dear, do take care of that young man."
