a certain amount of interest to our readers though the style sty ie of the writer is none the clearest I 1 have now spent three months among the mormons cormons Mor mons and have formed a very

life of celibacy all get married and the majority become happy mothers all young men and alid women get married live in accordance with all that is natural and iu in obedience to the instincts god has implanted in in them and as a consequence there is no crowding of lunatic asylums the tho common result of criminal and gud guu ull uli unnatural natural practices A married woman is here no burden to
