“flow murk of a family has Britrk
ftm Young ?”
This is almost as much of a puzzler
as to tell how many children sotuo
mon outstdo of Mormonism have ! Ho
has sixteen wives and forty-five child
ren. Not all of his wive? are wives in
tho wifely acceptation of tiio term,
llrighqm Young’s family numbers
iuoru than a hundred. But some of
tho women aro “brevet’’ wives—wo
men soalotbto him—widows of Joseph
Smith and others who, by Mormon
laws, find protection under the power
ful wing of the President of ihe Church
whose duty is to give a homo and pro
tection to widows of the illustrious
Mormon dead,Bf they so dosiro and do
lnand—as otlier men give liornes to in
digent relatives, stepmothers, kc.
Sixteen women liavo a lifo interest
in the l’rCsideht'of tho Mormon Plmrch
bear to him children, share his joys
tal>o an interest in his wardrobe,' and,
if needs bo, order nursing bottles char
ged to his account. Arid liono of
them are baldheaded or Uiinu i an eyo!
His home is a large establishment
something like a hotel—or—“My fath
er’s house in which are many man
sions.”
It is situated in a large garden—
surrounded by a high wall made of
stones laid iu mortar, so high that a
man on horseback cannot look over
thereof to seo what is going on in tho
eiy-'.lpsuro of a hundred acres, more or
less. 'ills garden is filled with fruit
trees. Living streams of water from
the mountains back of the house, sing
their way timmgh its premises by day
and by night. Inside high wall,
through greater or lesser gates, is his
office, where ho transacts business,
and sits in telegraphic communication
with every town in the Territory—ev
oiy Mormon settlement of importance.
Clerks and business agents do his bid
ding, and do it well. He is an early
riser—a hard worker. He goes once
a yeat to every Mormon settlement in
tlio Territory, and to look out for
places in which to establish towns,
new enterprises, build roads, extond
telegraph wires/ Ho is busy, like a
spider that spins webs to reach far out,
with Brigham Young the head centre.
The people'report to him. His offi
cers do liis bidding. The church is ,
under the shadow of his name. Ilis
hand is in or on nearly,every promin
ent enterprise in tho country. Many
are tho trees that bear him fruit. In
business as in marraigo ho is a poly
gamist. When comes the hour of 3
o’clock, liko a turtle, ho draws in his
head, and in tho bosom of his
MIMEROTrs FAMILY
finds rest, recreation, relaxation, and
time to cultivate liis personal aequain
ces. In this part or that of his well
fillcd residence he i3 welcome. Ilis
children aro loving and respectful.
They address him as father—listen
when he speaks, obey when ho sug
gest, as lie seldom commands. They
never speak to or of him in other than
tho most respectful terms, no matter
how old they may bo.
His sous aro manly, intelligent,
sharp, active men ; that is, those who
have come to men’s estate. Ilis
daughters are fine looking girls, young
ladies, who dres3 well, boast many
accomplishments- appear healthy, and
as il pro ad to be known as his child
ren. They aro all rather exclusive,
probably from tlio facts that they aro
kept busy becoming acquainted with
each other!
Tho eldest child of Brigham
JOSI l'lL a. young,
Ho is a man thirty-seven years old, a
first-rate, successful business man.
His face is pleasant —his weight one
hundred and eighty pounds— liis
height live feet nine Inches. His face
is smooth —his manner much like that
of liis fftthor, who lias in all liis fami
ly no more loving, respectful, worship
ping son than lie of whom we are now
writing. The early lifo of Joseph A.
was ouo of labor in the forest and on
the farm. Seven years after lie was
of lawful age he worked for his father
who seems to iook upon all his sons
and daughters as lads lasses yet. The
Young i3 one that believes that in un
ion thero is strength, though each
mfonber, liko a tub, stands on his own
bottom.
Joseph A. Young has in Salt Lake
three wives. By tlio first, Mary, tho
brido of his early love, he lias had
eight children, five of whom are living.
I’ivo nicor, Letter beloved, luoro lov
ing and. loveable children would he
hard to find. ’T lio eldest son of Jos
eph, Brigham Young id, is a young
man of seveutecu, sharp, quick, busin
ess-like, gentlemanly and quiet a fine
musician. IL* i* Baggage-master ut
tiult Lake gmioi\, and a son his pai -
bnfs nmy well be proud of. Tho throe
noxt children are girls—very pretty,
neat, well behaved children ; while tho
youngest is a boy, named after and in
honor ofjhis tafttor- Alary,,.his wife,
is a naat, sociable, lady-liko, pleas
ant, homo and husband loving wife
and mother, whoso well-furnished,
commodious house is neat as house
can bo —whose table is well-set, house
keeping all that the most fastidious
can desire. In tho parlor is a piano
paintings and such ardeles of taste and
luxury, for her husband’s a man of
wealth, who Lea j>ct,giuulated money
by different ontcrgnaoeT 4eipecially
railroad business. He is a s“,lf-edu
cated man, who has traveled exten
sively in other countries —read live
works of many of the best authors—a
keen observer— a fino critic—social,
offhand, liberal enteitainer aaid plenti
ful provider. He has good
HOKSJ.S ID AT ILOI
fast—is a good lirter end expert shot
bold business operator--a g«ol !Y nl
a man w ho’minds h«‘wn business
but whef never wonhi or will make
half so good ft preacher as ho will fur
mor cattle-raiser, builder or dealer in
railroad stocks. In short, Joseph A.
Young is a genthunoti, wlto is popular
for liis good qualities. Like his fath
er ho is a strict Mormon—si payor of
tithes and a believer’ ifi the Idea that
childion a - e to one’s eredit 1 e*o i ’they
aro well brought up-—to one’s glory
hereafter when born in wedlock, no
matter how inanv wives a nmn has.
In other words, he is n polygamist
with reasons for tfi® faith' that is in
ar.d tho family that ft around him.
His wife, Mary, is a believer in the
doctrine of Mormon-aft devout ( fillis
tian in that faith that vrtfcuian’s great
ness is through hian, nt||! a lady noted
for hor virtues find goodwess.

of Joseph A., who has boruo hint’

company, always in a lady like man

her husband, and is apparently very
glad When ho is with her, or at what
is properly called her homo.
Joseph’s other wife resides in arnith

The second son of Brie-ham is Brig
ham Young, Jr., tliirty-fivu y ars of
ago. He is a stout, corpulent, studi
ous man, with a face indicating jollity
afid good nature. The Bible is as fa
miliar to liis tongue as words to an
auctioneer. It is said that he is ex

he ever becomes the head
of tha church or not, it w ill bo his
fault if he does not become tho head
of a large family, for he appears liko
a fond husband to whom the divine
command, “multiply soul replenish,"
would he uo bad creed. Not that he
is ’ . f
FOXD OF AVOXFX,
but lio iippjer.rs like one so tender
hearted as never to consent to depriv
ing infants of liio, especially when the
religion of his fathers, he so well be
lieves in, is his hope for Heaven and
eternal honors,. high iu
the estimation of Orb pieopile ot JSalt
Lake, and lias three wives, one of
w horn, tho last wife, is one of tho most
aUruetieo ladies tlio country affords.
A woman of size, figure, very sweet
face, pleasant address, and great indi
cations of character and lasting bounty
of mind and demeanor. She was for
merly a resident of I’biladolpibia.—
Coming to this country some time
siuco on a pleasure trip>, she became
converted, joined the Mormon Church,
and became one of the sisters oi tiie
sanctuary.
Tlio third son of Fre>ident Young
is John W , a very tine, elegant
apqiearing gentleman, ot about thirty
years of ago. Ho is moro dressy than
either of tho others, has a fine, hand
some faco, is a dashing, pirospierous
business man, who helpied construct
the Union Pacific Bailroad, who de
lights in good horses, a steam yacht,
and household attractions. He lias
three wives, two of whom we had tho
pleasure of meeting, and who aro la
dies spoken of for their virtue, beauty,
and graceful accomplishments.
But enough of President Young,
his family, and his families’ families.
Coolness and Courage.
Not king siuco a Swiss shepherd
boy, only lourtoen years of age, was
tending a flock of sheep amrng tho
hills in tho Canton (irisoius, when a
bear made a raid upion tlio flock ami
seized two of tho finest sheep. The
courageous little fellow attempted to
drive tho bear off by beating him with
a stick, but Bruin turned upion him,
and ho was forced to run for his life.
Tho bear was gaining rajiidly upion
him, and there tod seemingly no es
cape.
Suddenly tlio lad bethought him
self of a narrow ravine, three hun
dred loot deep, close by, across which
ho thought lie could leap, while he
hopKxl the hear would not notice it, and
fall to tho bottom. Dashing on, jialf
wild with excitement and dread, he
reached the edge of tho precipice, tlio
bear dose at Ins heels. Tho chasm
was upward of six foot wide, but the
lad dialed it by a desperate bound
and landed safely on tho opposite side.
The bear, as he hoped, did not se,o;
the ravine, and foil headlong, to. thy
bottom, where, bruised and bleeding,
and unable to rise, the shepherd lad
found him, and, having no weapon
with him, succeeded in killing tho an
imal by dashing out his brains witli
heavy stones. — Enquirer.

Editor of the Southern Farm and Home
—Being a cripple, and having never
been ablo to walk, find being almost
exclusively doe fined to tho house, I
thought that I would give ynfci a finv
of my cogitations in regard to the pros
ent state of the times. As Shakspiearo
says/ “ Whoti clouds are scon wtte men
pint on theiU'Cumks, and if tl to clouds
ary not thick and threatening riow, I
(lo not know tho reason why. Per
haps not Tit 'the history of this country
lias tlw-ro ever been a time w lieu there
w as a greater scarcity of money among
thu masses than now, the depression
caused by the goyerul stagnation of
business was never'sH universal’v felt,
all the world over, us new. The of
foots of this tlepiroasiuu must, of coinyie,
be felt by nil grades of society. Vet.,
who that, passes through our |i*iii*spal
thoroughfares and sees the bright tu
■ ray of w ives and daughters, as various
in their decorations us the birds of the
air, does not wonder at the extrava
gance thus exhibited i* I know that,
a great many will probably sutler at a"
mail liko mvself giving e.vpm>siou to
those thoughts | but if tho warning
herein contained i* acted on, many an
honest man would he sav.sl fioia butik
ruptcy and disgrace. Any one cun see
that with so much extravagance, the
community ifi staggering under a
weight that ulmast pavalyres its move
ments. “Lvorything is so tdieapi,”
fifty tli) ladies, trthat it is inexcusable
not to dross well.” Bat lad for, lmvt)
-you ever refieirted why things are sd
cheap? Do you over give a thought
to tlio thousands of Wealthy pteopdo
that have been reduced to abject pov
erty, to produce this boasted result ?
It is true, that luxuries aro cheapwr
now than necessaries were a few years
since; jet how hfifwentable, that it takes
moro to live hOw 1 tlian it did beforoitho
war. \Y T hen silk w ft» fromoue to three
dollars por yard, eight yards sufficed
for a dress ; now r w hen it is from three
to ten dollars, it takes eighteen or
twenty yards, exclusive of trimming.
Ls this oxtravagauco were confined to
Hive wealthiest classes, it would be pro
ductive of good, insteud of tlio evils
that it piroducos, because it would ben
efit tfte pioor by circulating money
among them - r but as it is new, if the
rich liavo a now dress every week,
pieopdo of modeiute fortune will liavo
one every month, and it has now be
ooino so in society, that finery becomes
tho standard of respectability, and tho
coat a man has ott is of moro conse
queneo than his character. I knew a
case recently of a young lady that had
two suitors, 0110 dressed very fine with
gold Loaded cane, etc. - —as the sailors
say, “his liggiug was coinpileto”—'the
other dressed plain and was hard
working and saving witli his Imp'd
earned money. The latter was reject
ed fiir tho other’s lino clothos, and in
loss than twelve months tho favored
one was taken up) as a coiinterleitor,
all on account of Ids own and his wife’s
extravagance. They wero both too
proud to labor, mid money they would
have, evou at tho risk of his utter ru
in.
Mon of fixed salaries spicnd every
cent of their income, ami then leave
their children to dop>eud on a piitiless
world which they have wasted their
substance to please. Men rush into
speculation and keep up their credit
by splendor, and should they fail, they

1 heard two ladies spiralling together
a few days age, and one said : “1 know
wo are extravagant, bat bow can 1
pwevent it ? My , husband does not
liko to sue liis wife and daughters
dress pilaim r than tliuso w ith whom
they associate.” The other repiltbd :
‘Then, my dear lady, your husband
lias not as much moral dignity as I
gave him credit for. He should he
content tv seo liis wife and daughters
respected for neatness, good to ate, and
aUtactive manners.” “This all sounds
very w ell in talk,” ropilipd the fashion-)
ablo lady, “but say what you will
about pleasing an intelligent girl, 110- !
body will notice them unless they dro.- s [
in the fashion. If my daughters wero *
to dress iu tho neat stylo y<iu recom
mend, they would see all their aequain- ;
tunees receive moro attention than
themselves, and not a geutlouun in
town would join theui in a ptromenade.” >
“I do not believe this is so extensive
a sense as you do,” tho other lady re 1
plied. “Girls may appear goutoely
withoutboiu£ extravagmit; and though '
soiuo fopis might know the most ap- j
pnoved color for a gbbon/or the now - j
cat arrangement for a trimming, l be
lieve gcutlqiiipui ol real character uu l

A mail often admires a stylo of dress
that he would not ventjno to supipiort

vented many marriages, and rendered

W'caiurg a neat, caiicu dio-s, or a

It is t©ally ifiolnnelioly to note how
this fever ot fdfhtoil lias piervadeil all
classes, and see how it is sappjiug the
very strength of our happy country,
just emerging from tho effects of one
j of the most devastating of wars, when
it ought to be the aim of every one to
piraetieo the most rigid economy, that
wo may rebuild our waste pilaces and
be once again the prosperous and hap
pv picople wo were before the war;
but no, by the time one eroprof cotton
romostin the money for tho puevious
