Utah Wedded Bliss.

It was a soft balmy night in spring, the burning sunset was hanging its golden tapestries across the mellow west, and the electric light was just beginning to flz and spit along the main streets when Elder Snoozer was sitting in the elegant boudoir of widow Smith, whose rich b.own eyes and desirable real estate penetrated the bachelor’s inmost thoughts. “Can you, Sarah,” he said, throwing his enormous hand upon her shoulder, on the further side, “come to my Dome in the Second ward, where I will be your slave?” “Will that squint-eyed first wife of yours be made to stand around when I come?” “When your dulcet voice sounds through the ancestral halls Hannah will get to the coal-bin. She will have about five hours sleep a day and work for you the balance of the time.” Inside of the week they pass through the Endowment house where Elder Wells made them one. Old Snoozer took in a fine piece of real estate with a good looking woman, and was happy. Two years passed, and the ance beautiful Sarah, bending over the washtub and lamming the endowment robe of the third wife viciously against a tree until the suds falling over the tender flowers gave them new life in the hot July sun, is the sort of picture the passing bullwhacker contemplates. “How do you like the new deal?” asks the first wife, who is chopping wood hard by. And the language of wife No. 2 is not fit to print in a family newspaper.—[Salt Lake Tribune.
