I.
MATIUHOSY.
A Sonnet, in which Moral Insanity is accounts
for on strictly moral grounds.
Matrimony is a nut
For every man's digestion ;
When the shell is fairly cracked,
Pop goes the question.
Pretty girls will sigh and blush-1—;
Simper all they can, sir—
Till from out their pouting lipa,
Pop ! goes the answer.
Cupid fans the holy flame-
Rankest kind of arson—
When it gains a certain height,
Pop ! goes the Parson.
Quite throughout the honeymoon"—
Moon of losy colors—
Iuto sundr}r dry good tills,
Pop ! go Ihe dollars.
When a year has shown its tail
Round the corner (may be)-
Out upon the world,
Pop! goes a baby.
Mother gives it catnip tea,-
Father gives it brandy,
And adown its gastric tube,-
Pop ! goes the candy.
All the sweets that earth can yield
Won't suffice to calm it:
3>addy screws his lips—and then
Pop ! goes a d—u it."
Madame lets her husband swear,
She must be the whippet ;
And about the youngster's keela:
Popl goes a slipper.
Bachelor, who lives next door,
Bears it for a season ;
But before the year is out,-
Pop ! goes his reason.-
Maiden lady, up the stairs.
Stamps, each moment, faster,-
Till, from of? the wall beneath,-
Pop I goes the plaster.
Birty, ragged little boy,.
'Neath the window lingers ;:
Thumb applied unto his noes—
■Pop!- go the fingers,
Al! around the neighborhood,
Such antics are enacted ;
And while mamma is scolding him,
Pop goes distracted,
Tlie Mosquito Hunt.
Kot a aound was heard but a terrible hum
As around the chamber we hurried,
In search of ihe mosquito whose trumpetaud drum
Our delectable slumbers had worried/
We sought it darkly, at dead of night,
Our coverlet carefully turning,
By the struggling moonbeam's misty light,-
And our candle dimly burning.
No useless garment confined onr breast,
Bat in simple night-dress and slippers,
We wandered about like spirits distressed^
Or the sails of piratical skippers.
Short and few were tho words we let fall,
Lest the sound should disturb the mosquito,
But we steadfastly gazed on the whitewashed wall.
And thought how we had been bit, oh !
But&alf an hour seemed to elapse
Ers we met with tlie wretch that had bit us,
And raismg our boot gave some terrible slaps,
And made the mosquito quietus.
Quickly and gladly we turned from the dead,
And left him ali smashed and gory ;
We blew out the candle and popped into bed,
Determined to tell you toe story.

licul  Life  Romances.
The Gazette de Lausanne relates the following
romantic story":
Prince C , one ofthe principal boyards ot
Moldavia, and having, it ia said, Imperial blood
ia his veins, had iu his household, as child's
maid, a youug woman of Friburg. As she was a
very handsome girl, the Prince after a while became smitten with her, and not only paid her at
tentioo but gave her a number of presents. As.
however, he'was married, the young woman con-
Bidered it imprudent to remain iu the house, and
left Moldavia. But absence only increased the
passion of the Prince, and be followed her to
Switzerland. There as a proof of his affection, he
placed securities to a large amount iu the hands
of a banker at Berne, and directed that they
Bhould be given to the young woman at a future
period. He, it appears, formed the design of
marrying her, and took measures for having his
exiting marriage dissolved. These measures necessitated his presence in Moldavia, but he contrived'nevertheless to pay frequent visits to Switzerland-. At length the young woman, fearing
her reputation would bs compromised by his attentions, consulted some clergymen, and thej
told her that her marriage with him would be impossible, for various reasons, and especially on account of the difference of religion :-so she determined to marry a young man who had fallen in
love with her. When the marriage was celebrated, she informed the Prince of it,-and of her motive for marrying. The Prince was greatly exasperated, and a long and angry correspondence
ensued. He at length arrived at Friburg, to ascertain, as he did, that the marriage really had
heen celebrated, he entertaining doubts about it.
When satisfied that the youug woman was irrevocably lost to him, he brought an action against
her before the tribunal of Friburg, to obtain the
restoration of the donations which he had made
her, amounting to about 300,000 or 400,000 francs,
on the ground that they had been conferred
the condition of future marriage, which conditi
she bad not fulfilled. The young woman on her
part, contended that the gifts had been made
without any conditions at all; and that besides
she had not married until Rhe had ascertained
that a marriage between her and the Prince was
impossible,. Eventually the tribunal dismissed
the action To increase the romantic interest of
the affair, it; iff stated that after the commencement ofthe suit, the Prince succeeded in obtain
Jog a divorce from his wife, aud it is added that
he has just married a young lady of Belgium.

A  Tell-Tale  Machine.
IT seem that the Elkctiio-Ciiemicai. Baths, have
decided the vexed question in regard to the
notorious National Hotel disease; one victim
having been fortunate enough to try the baths, as
a last reeort, wherein the "test-plate -showed a
lieavy deposit of arsenic." This tells a dark tale
on somebody, and shows how the people choose to
be humbugged, even to death, rather than be cured
by aa unpopular agent. The Electro-Chemical
hatha were in use and Within the reach of those
victims, but they were in the hands of Reformers,
hence, but one of tho many victims, it seems, resorted to them.
I do not claim that the baths are a cure-all, but
that they are a powerful agent in renovating the
human system generally, and that they will expel
from the system murcury, or other mineral poisons, so as.to be seen by the naked eye ; showing
clearly the absurdity ofthe Alopathic practice,
and why the Doctor* decry these tell-tale machine!.
Should there be any in this community, independent enough to Investigate these things for
themselves, they may find it to their advantage to
call on the undersigned, who administers the
hatha, and is a dealer in electro-magnetic machines for family use, giving all necessary directions.

Remarks Ity President Urtylmm Vowiff, (Tow.
*ry, Sunrlwy morning,  September 13, 1857.
"I do not often get angry, but when I do I am
righteously angry, and the bosom of tho Almighty
burns with anger towards those scoundrels and
they shall be consumed, in the name of Israel's
God. We have borae enough of their opprpssion
and hellish abuse, and we will not bear any more
of it, for there is no just law requiring further
forbearance on our part. And I am not going to
have troops here to protect the priests and a hellish rabble iu'efforts to drive us from the land we
possess, for the Lord does uot want us to be driven
and has said, " if you assert your righta and keep
my commandments, you shall never again be
brought into bondage.-'
"The officer in command of the United States
army on its way to Utah detailed one of his staff,
Captain Van Vliet, who is now on the stand
come here and learn whether he could proenre
the necessary supplies for the army. Many of
you ftre already aware of this, and some of yoii;
have been previously acquainted with the Captain-
Captain Van Vliet visited us in Winter Quarters'
(now Florence) and, if I remember correctly, he
was then acting as Assistant Quarter Master ; he
is again in our midst in the capacity of Assistant
Quartef Master. From the day of hia visit to
Winter Quarters many of this people have become
personally acquainted with him, both through
casual intercourse with and working for him. lie
has invariably treated them kindly, as he would
a Baptist, a Methodist, or any other person, for
(.hat is his character. He his always been fouud
to be free and frank, and to be a man that wishes
to do right; aud no doubt he would deal out justice to all, if be had the power. Many of you
have labored for bim and found him to be a kind,
good man ; and I understand that he has much
influence in the army through his kind treatment
to'the soldiers. He treats them as human beings,
while there are those who treat them worse than
brute beasts.
Well, the inquiry is, " what is the news ? Wha*
is the conclusion V1 It is ihi-fi, we have to trust in
God, I am not in the Jeast concerned as to the
result, if we put our trust in God. The Administrators of our Goyernment have issued orders lor
marching of troops and expending much treasure,
and all predicated upon fal^elioodf, while eve:y
honor ble mau would have first made an economical and peaceful enquiry iuto the circumstances-
And even now every honorable man would use all
his influence to avert the present unjust and en?
tii-ely groundless movement against us, but Captains. Majors, Colonels and other subordinate officers hove not the power. Wicked persons, solely for the accomplishment of tiieir unhallowed
schemes, have had the power to array the Government against us through their lying and mis-
re pr**«entation, but giSizens, unorganized iuto
cliques and parties, no matter how good tiieir intentions and wishes, have not the power to avert
the blow when the Administration of our Government is arrayed against us, unless they will also
unite agaii.st the few well-organized scoundrels
who are plundering onr treasury and fast urging
our country to dissolution. We have got to pro"
tect ourselves by the strength of our God. Do
not be concerned in the least with regard to all
the affairs that are belore you, for we shall live
and grow finely, as said a certain woman, who
weighed but two pounds when an infant and was
put in a quart cup. upon being asked whether she
lived, " O, yes," she said, "I lived and grew
finely ;■' it will a'so be said of the Latter Day
SaintSj " they lived and grew finely/'
'.'You arc' taught from Sabbath to Sabbath what
to do, and il' you do that all will be well. There
is only one thing to fear, and that Is that is that
yon will not be faithful to the kingdom of God.
We have that kingdom, and It will spread its
balmy wings over thousands and millions who
have not yet heard the gospel; and they will find
Israel to be ,; the head and not the tail."
"They say that their army is legal, and I say
that such a statement is as false as hell, aud that
they are as rotten as an old pumpkin that has
been frozen seven times and then melted in a harvest sun. Come on with your thousands illegally
ordered troops, and I will promise you, in the
name of Israel's God, that you shall melt away as
the snow before a July sun.
"There is one thing that t want, for the satisfaction of Captain Van Vliet. One of onr old
Senators, Stephen A. Douglass, recently said, before his constituents in Illinois, that nine tenths
of our people were aliens. We hats a larger proportion of foreigners in this city than in any other
part ofthe Territory, and there are a good many
here to-day who have just dome in from the plains.
I want those who are native bom and naturalized
American citizens to raise their right band. [Over
two-tbiids ofthe congregation raised tb,eir hands.]
You who haye not yet received your naturalization papers will please manifest it in the same
way. [Less than a third of the congregation
raised their right hands.] Now, Captain, you
can see for yourself that over two-thirds of this
coogregntion are^ither native borri or naturalized American citizens.
"I have called thiR vote that Captain Van Vliet
may be able to do as he always does, speak the
truth boldly and tell them of it next winter iu
Washington ; and, that he can, if he sees Senator
Douglass in Washington, tell him that his statement was false, for he has seen for himself.
"When I was written to in Nauvoo by the President of tbe United States, through another person, inquiring, "where are you going,Mr. Young?"
I replied that I did not know where we should
land. We had men in England trying to negotiate
for Vancouver's Island, aud we sent a ship loatlof
Saints round Cape Horn to California. Men in
authority asked, "where are you going to?" "We
may go to California, or to Vancouver's Island.'?
When the Pioneer compan^ reached Green River,
we met Samuel Brannan and a few others from
California, and they wanted us to go there. I re-
i marked, let us go to California,- and we cannot
stay there over five years, but let us stay in the
mountains and we can raise our own potatoes and
eat them, and I calculate to stay here. We are
still on the backbone of Ihe animal, where the
bone and the einew are, and we intend to stay
here, and al! hell cannot help themselves.
"We are not to be persecuted as we have been.
We can say, "come as a mob and we can sweeten
you up right suddenly." They never did anything against Joseph until they had ostensibly
legalized a mob, and I shall treat every army aud
every armed company that comes here, as a mob.
[The congregation responded, "Amen."] You
Blight as well tell me that you can make hell into
a powder house, as to tell mc' that you can let an
army in here and have peace; and I intend to
tell them and to show them this, if they do not
keep away. By taking this course you will find
that-every man and woman feels happy, and they
say, " all is right, all is well;" and I say that our
enemies shall not slip' tho bow on " old Brlght's
neck " again."
Remarks by president Brlgham Ynnng, Bowery. Sunday ntftcriioon, Sept. 13, 1857".
"It is a pretty bold stand for this people to take,
to say that they will not be controlled by the corrupt administrators of our general Government.
We will be Controlled by them, if they will be controlled by the Constitution and laws, but they
will not; Many of them do not care any more
about the Constitution and the laws that they
make, than they do about the laws of other nations.
That class trample the rights ofthe people under
their feet, while there are also many who would
like to honor them. All we have ever asked for
is our Constitutional rights. We wish the laws
of our Government honored, and we have ever
honored them, bnt they are trampled under foot
by administrators.
"There cannot be a more damnable, dastardly
order iEsued than was issued by the Administration to this people while they were in an Indian
country in 1846, Before we left Nauvoo, not less
than two United States Senators came to receive
a pledge from us that we would leave the United
States, and then while we were doing our best to
leave their borders, tbe popr, low, degraded curses
sent a requisition for five hundred of our men to
go and fight their battles! That was President
Polk, and he is now weltering in hell with old
Zachary TayIor,'where the present administrators
will soon he, if they do not repent.
"Liars have reported that this people have committed treason, and upon their lies the President
has ordered out troops to aid in officering thi
Territory;■ and if those ofrioers are like many that
have previously been seut here, and we have reason to believe that they are, or they would not
come when they knew they were hot wanted, they
are poor, miserable blacklegs, broken down po'it-
ical hacks, robbers aud whoremongers, men that
are not fit for civilized society, so they must dragoon them upon us for officers. I feel that I won't
bear such cursed treatment, and that is enough to
say, for we are just as free as the mountain air.
"I do hot lift my voice against the great and
glorious Government guaranteed to every citizen
by our Constitution, but against those corrupt administrators who trample the Constitution and
just laws under their feet. They care do more
about them that they do about the government of
France, but they walk them under their feet with
impunity. And the most of the characters they
have sent here as officers cared no more about the
laws of our country and of this Territory than
they they did about the laws of China, but walked
them ttuder their feet with all the recklessness of
despots,
"I do not want to be angry, nor to haye my
feelings wrought up, but I cannot keep quiet under the continued outrageous tyranny of the
wicked.
"I have said that if the brethren will have faith,
the Lord will fight our battles, and we will have
the privilege of living here in peace. I have
counted the cost to this people of a collision with
our enemies, but I cannot begin to count the cost
pill be to them.
I have told you that if this people will live
their religion, all will be well; and I have told
you that if there is any man or woman that is not
willing to destroy anything and everything of
their property that would be of use to an enemy
f left, I wanted them to go out of the Territory,
and I again say so to-day, for when the time comes
*y waste our improvements, if any man undertakes to shield his he will be sheared down, for
judgment will be laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet." Now the faint hearted can
go in peace, but should that time come, they must
uot interfere. Before I will suffer what I have in
3S gone by, there shall not bo one building, nor
one foot of lumber, nor a stick, nor a tree, nor a
particle of grass and hay, that will burn, left in
ch of our enemies. I am sworn, if driven to
extremity,- to utterly lay waste, ia the name of Israel's God.
I know that the Saints, both the brethren and
sisters, pray that our enemies may not come here,
for their entrance is designed by our Government
to be the prelude to the Introduction of abominations and death. And you cannot talk toa brother
or even to a sister, but that she will teli you that
ie consents in her feelings to have our enemies
come here she feels uncomfortable and her heart
sinks within her. Ii I consent in my feelings to
have them come here my heart sinks within me,
my buoyant spirits are gone, and I have no comfort, for I know the hellish designs concealed under the present movement. But we are free, and
every man says,."staud by the kingdom." When
this is the case every man is like a troop, they are
like lioue.
"Admit of corrupt administrators sending
troops here and what would be the result? All
hell would follow after. I naturally dislike to
have any trouble, and would not were I not obliged to ■  but we are obliged to defend onrsclves
ainst the persecution of our oppressors, or have
„„r Constitutional rights rent troni us aud our-
se'lvtis destroyed. Wc must either suffer that, or
stand up and maintain, the kingdom of God on the .
eartfev
"Suppose that our enemies send 60,000 troops .
here, they will have to transport all that will be
requisite to sustain them over one winter, for f
wifl promise them, before they come, that there
shall not be one particle of fonige nor one mouth-'
ful of food for them should they come. They will
have to bring all their provisions and forage, and
though they start their teams with aa heavy loaflS
as they can draw, there Is no team that cau bring
enough to sustain itself, to say nothing of the*
men. If there were no more men here than there
are in the Seminole nation, our enemies never*
could use us up, but they could use up themselves
and they will do so. The ScmiuolcB, a little tribe
of a few hundreds, in Florida, have cost our Government, I suppose, in the neighborhood of a-
$109,000,000 and they arc no nearer being cori'
quered than when the war commenced. - Ancl
what few have removed have been induced to do
so by compromise ; and it would be far cheapest
for the-Government to pay thedebts they honestly
owe us, and leave us unmolested in tho peaceful
eujoyment of our rights.
"Would not our enemies feel well In going to
the canons for wood, the first night, to cook their
suppers with? The idea puts me in mind of aa
anecdote told by ore Brown, about the mau whn
took the first barrel of whiskey up the Missouri
river on a log raft.
"They might stay amid blackened desolation,
until they ate up what they brought, and then
they would have to go back,
"It has been asked, "have you counted ttfe
cost?" Yes, for ourselves, but I cannot begin to
count it for our enemies. It will cost them all
they have in this world, and will land them In hell
in the world to come, while the only trouble with'
Us is that wo have two or three times more men
than we-need for using up all who can come here
to deprive us of our rights.
"As I said this morning, ten years ago on thifl:
ground I stated that we would not ask any odds
of our enemies In ten years from that date, and the'
time I thought of it was ten years afterwards to a
day. "They are now sending their troops," waa
the news, and it directly occurred to me, " will
yon ask any odds of them V No, in the name of
Israel's God we will not,   for as soon as wc ask
s we get ends of bayonets.   When we'have
asked them for bread, they have given us stones ;
and when we halve asked them for meat, theyhava
m us scorpions ; and what is the use in our
asking any more? I do not ask any oddsof those
who are striving to deprive us of every vestige of
freedom and to destroy us from the earth.
"Suppose that we should now bow down and
they should order their troops back and then send
a Governor and other officers here, how long
would it be before some miserable scamp would
get into a fuss with the the Indians in Utah county,.-
or in some other county, and get killed? Then
the Governor would order out the militia, pro'ca-
bly two or three hundred men, to kill off those Indians. Well, the brethren, knowing that the aggressor is a white man, do not want to turn out
aad, like Gen. Harney, kill the squaws, and they
say, "we shall not go." Then the Governor
would say, " they have committed' treason," and
it would be, " send an army here and shoot and
hang them." Our enemie? are determined to bring
us into collision with the iGovernment, so that
they can kill us, but they shall not come here.
"If the troops are now this side of Laramie, remember that the Sweet Water is this side of that
place. They must have some place to winter, for
they cannot come through here this season. We
could go out and use them up, and it would not
require fifty men to do it. But probably we shall
not have occasion to take that course, for we do
not want to kill men. They may winter in peace
at some place east of us, but when Spring comes
they must go back to the States, of at any rate
they must leave the mountains.
"We have no desire to kill men, but we wish to
keep the devils from killing us. If you hear that-
they are near the upper crossing of the Plat'%,
they will probably stay there until they can collect 50,000 troops. We will say that 9 and 3 equal
17, and if that is so, how long will it take to get
ic troops here? Let an arithmetician figuro
out how long it will be before 9 and 3 will make
11, for that will be just as soon as ou? enemies will
get 50,000 troops here. i    -^
'Our enemies are constantly yellihg, "rebellion,- '
treason," no matter how peaceful, orderly and
loyal we may be. And now to come out in open
ppositiou to their curstd corrupt practices, will
f course be counted treason. But let me tellyci
that tbe real, actual treason Is committed in Washington, by the Administrators of our Government
sending an army to take the lives of iunoeent cit-
zens. Every man is allowed by the Constitution
to have what religion he pleases, and to^professr '
what religion he pleases. That liberty is guaranteed by the Constitution, " but you, "Mormons,"
an army must be Best against you bceause you aro
Latter Day Saints." Yes, an urmy must be sen£
to drive us from the earth.
There is high-treason in Washington, and if tho
