BUICiII IK YOUIII4. I Xlrnri from Editorial form lioiidt aico to Pomeroy's Dem ocrat. “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. An jo I.vt no rue frqew: (if mary an t’i er fino mddetU'e, rleg-untly fiMl&l and beautified, where resides* Mrs. Clara Young, the last taken wife of Joseph A., who has boruo hint’ throd childron, all of whom aro living haiqjy and attractive.- Hho is an in telligent, accomplished, refined, grace ful lady, who knows How r to entertain company, always in a lady like man ner. Liko hor step-wife, Or wife-in-’" law Mary, she is an earnest dhrittain believer in Mormonism, dearly hives 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 er portion of tho city, but we did not see her. 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 ploded tfildeepod his father as head of j the Church prhon the old gentleman passes away, but as white man is somewhat u)icertain, tho OOPS MAY OIIIUIN OTIIKRWrsI’. 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.

Tnr. kuvson wiir they aui: s6. 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 and their families carry witli thorn ox tiavagant habits to corrode tlicir spir its, pr.rliapis to teinpit them on to crime. 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 worth only notice neatness apd good manners.

To what ex tent will the |iuppiiiesaof your daugh ters’ 11 Y, sJ 0 aifo ti dby wasting a few pireeioyis hours loss in tho empty con versation of sapipy-heuded coxcombs. A mail often admires a stylo of dress that he would not ventjno to supipiort in a wifo. Extravagance has p.ro vented many marriages, and rendered still moro unliapipjy. And slrould your daughter fiul in 10. miiig good connec- j tions, what have you to leave them savo e\ti avag alive ? Do you supiposo thot thoso wlto now laugh at them for W'caiurg a neat, caiicu dio-s, or a soiled glovo, or an unfashfonablo rib bou, will assist their pxivcrty or cheer their neglected old ago_? No ; they would find tlujin as cold and seifidi as they aro vain.
