BY CHARLES DICKENS
Blue again*! the bluer heavens
Atosil th-< mountain calm an 1 still :
Two white angelbending earthward,
.Leant upon the hill.
?
Listening leant those silent angels.
? And 1, also, longed to hear
V'hnt sweet strain of earthly musio
? Thus oouid chat tn their ear.
I heard the Round of many trumpMa,
And wur like innrclt draw nigh ;
Solemnly a mighty army
Passed in Order by.
But the clang had cease 1; the ec'to
Sunn had faded from lite hill;
While the augeis, calm ?ml earnest,
Leant und listened still.
Then I beard a fainter clamor;
Forge and wheel were clashing near,
And the reapers in the meadow
Singing loud and clear.
When the sunset rume in glory,
And the toil of day was o'er,
fitill tho angels leant in silcnoc,
Listening >\t before.
then,!*!*daylight slowly vanished.
And the evening mists grew dim,
Solemnly, from distant voices,
Rose.a vesper hymn.
Bat the chant was done, and lingering.
Died upon the evening air ;
Yet from the hill the radiant angalst
Still were listening there.
Silent came the gathering darkness,
Bringing with it sleep and rest ;
Save a little bird was singing
In her leafy nest.
Throagh the sounds of war and labor,
She had warbled all day long,
While the angels leant and listened
Only ie her song.
Bet the starry night Was coming,
And she ecased her little lay ;

President Young, ss he is called by
Hitr dh-eiplcs, is Prcsidcnti and Prophet
of the Mormon people, a?id of '*Thc
Church of Jesus Christ of Lnttcr-Dny
Sainrs/' and stands prominently f'or?.iid
as oue of tho most rcuiurkablo men ol
the 19lh ccutury. He win horn in Wit
tingbam, Windham county, Vormoot, on
Oho first day of June, 1801. His father.
John Young, was a'revolutionary vete
ran, and Jscrvcd in three campaigns uu
der Washington. The family consisted
?f six- daughters and five suns, of whom
Brigham was the fourth. In early life
lie was oonuected with the Methodists,
and'at that time he followed the occupv
tion of enrpenter and joiner, painter ind
g!a=icr. He was fitit timrricd in 1312-1,
and in tho gpriirg of 1830, fit>t saw the
"Book of Mormon," of whiolt ho ufter
wards became so firm a believer and
prominent supporter. In Apr-i', 18"J2-,
he was baptized it member* of tho
"Church of Jokus Christ of Latter-lJlty
"fjuiuts." During the previous January
he had visitetl Columbia. Pennsylvania,
where there was a brauch of the church
?making a lengthy stuy?that he might
become" better aequniutcd with its pfln
1 ciples. This is characteristic of Presi
dent Youug, who makes up his mind
only after mature deliberation, and then, I
lie is very firm, hold inj? to his opiutun or
holiel with prent tenacity.
In the following September his wife
died und he started for Kirtlaud, Ohio,
to sc . Joseph Smith, tho Mormon pro
phot. The fiieet'mg of these two men?
one the fuuuder of the church, the other
destined to become his powerful oucces
sor as its leader -took place in the woods
near Kirtland, where the prophet had
uofl? to chop wood, and wh'ther Mr.
Young followed to make his acqttain
tauco A few evenings after this first
meeting, it is recorded that Joseph
Smith publicly said that the time would
come when Brigham Young would r'ulo
over the church. From this time Mr.
Young became a zealous trod successful
advocate of MnrmonistrJ. Early in 1S35
he was ordained one ef the Twelve
Apostles of tho Mormott Church; tih th?
organisation of that quorum ; and sub
sequently became president of the
Twelve, through the defection of Thom
as 11. Marsh, who was his senior in j'otirs,
and. for that reason, previously held that
office.
As one of the apostles, Mr. Young
filled several missions, travelling exten
sively through th? EuStem States,
preaching, proselyting, building up and
regulating branches oF tho church, otc.
On the 9th ol March, 1840, in company
with H. C Kimball, later his first coun
sellor in U?B presidency of the church,
George A. Smith, his present first coun
sellor, and other missionaries, ha sailed
from New York on a mission to Great
Britain, and arrived in Liverpool, April
i tith. He spent a little over fourteen
months in Kngliud. during which time
several thousand pcrsous tfcra cotuvvl
cd. utrd the publication of the MilLiti?
ninl Star, the fi.'st foreign Mormon pub
licuti 'ti. was commenced. It was issued
as a serial, has been continued in that
form, and issue 1 regularly from that
time in til I lie present.
On his return from England, tie filled
other missions. fYaVelHng and preaching
in the East, Irs family remaining in
Nauvoo lie was absent From that city
when Joseph Smith and his brother lli
raiu were murdered in Carthage He
immediately returned to Nauvoo. with
other prominent member*of the church,
and proceeded to take suoli measures as
wete deemed bvM for ihc protection of
the citizens of Nituvtm ;vr-l the Mornr iiis
in the. neighborhood, who were hourly
threatened with extermination.
Early in lSlu" it became imperative
to vacate Nauvoo. and'Mr. Young di
rected the fleeing thousands of the Mor
mon church in their westward journe
himself and many others of th ; organi
zation leaving, to seek, for the fifth time
a new home. The bulk of the Mormons
made their Way to the .Missouri river,
through the Chen wild unsettled
country, now forming the State of Iowa,
and remained temporarily located during
the winter of '4G and '-17 at Council
P? luffs.
In 1847, Mr. Young led a band of
pioneers westward, toward ihe Hocky
i M,...??..;..?. ..r,/i .... p-|th of fn!" np
the same year arrived in tho valley of
the Great Sate Lake, where a settlement
was i'lnrtWtfiafory rbfincd1.
III the fall of 1847, he returned to the
Missouri, und in the spring of '48 after
having Wen accepted as President of
the Church, be organized u large com
pany oT his people, and proceeded with
them to tire new settlement in Salt Luke
Valley.
There being no organized government
in the territory where they settled?
which then belonged to Mexico?the
people formed a provisional Stute, with
the tide of Descret, of which Mr\ Young
was unanimously elected Governor,
which position he heNV feV nearly two
years, until the government of tue
I nited States?to whom the country had
been ceded by treaty?extended' its laws
over it, and a Territorial government
was provided by 0Ct of Congress. . hffl
occurred in October, I860, and Mr
, Young Was appointed Governor of Utah,
i u? ths territory was thou tonned, and
Continued to rule it until 1857.
President Young Ibas taken a- promi
nent part in all public improvements, in
every plan calculated to facilila/u com
munication botwecti the territory and blie
E.ihtern States; materially assisting in
fovmiog several express companion nud
stage Hue*, lie built "tevera! li?odVcd

graph'; graded 150 tailes "of Ihe
Cnion Pacific P.ailroad, ?nd has ever
offered his assistance to every enterprise
of the kind winch had a material b?ar
iti?r on tho interests of Utah. He was
! o tile principal mover in the cdristrUe
tit>n of the Deser'dt Tel graph line,
which Connects the northern and south
ern settlements of Utah, nearly 500
miles apart, lie used every effort to
push forward to an ?:arly completion the
Utah Central railroad, of which he is
the President. His great influence
over his people was strongly illustrated
by the promptness with which they re
sponded to his call fo hdiltt the grade on
the U. P. lt. it.; men, teams, etc., com- !
IDg from all parts of the territory.
Nearly evory settlement sent its quota to
help in finishing the work.
Early in May. 18G9, President Young
organized :i company to build the Utah
Central Railroad, from the junction of
the Union and Ceutrul at Ogdcn, to Salt
Lake City?a distance of thirty-six j
miles. lie was diesen President, and I
on the 1 TtW of the same mouth,
ground was. broken with due ceremony,
Brighnlu Yotong and the chief diguitu
ries of the Norm on Church being iu at-1
tendance. So vigi rously was the build
ing ol the road prosecuted, that earl}' in
the spring of 1870 it Was completed and
ready for business
Tor nearly a year the receipts barely
equalled the outlay ; but the foresight
of President Young was justified by the
rapid increase of general business and
development of mines south of the city,
and this is now one of the best, paying
roods in the country. Daring the past
year a company was formed for extend
ing the road south and southwest to the
Ctdfrrado, ant] a bill introduced into
Congress for granting land for thai pur
posQj which, however, failed of pass ige.
Nevcrthtdr.ss, thu people, in :*b'"'rame
spirit as in the eatjO ol the Utah Centra-!
have entered vigorously upou tho work,
and tin Utah Southern Railroad is al
rca ly c uiiplctcd to Sandy Station, 2,*>
miler south of tlx; city, to which poiut
daily train- aru now running.
Meanwhile, civil troubles were begin
ning for President \oung. The open
ing of the mines hud caused a great in
flux of won Morrtfons, and the adjltdica
lions of the Supreme and District Courts
of Utah had placed the control of legal
matters in the hands of the U. S Dis
trict .J ud cs. Under n statute of Utah,
prescribing severe penalties lor le'wd
and lascivious conduct," an indictment
was found in the Third District Court
ngaiust lirigham Young, and he was
fornally arrested by Marshal Patrick,
and guv.- bonds in the sum ol $5.000
for bis appearance for trial. '1 he trial
was first set by* Chief Justice McKcati
ft December 4, but as President Young
had taken bis usual winter trip Sooth
lor the beuefit of his health, on the
representation of his counsel, tho Chief
.Justice postponed the trial until .Janu
ary 9. 1S72. For some reason, the Salt
Luko pap .TS hive not. contained the
usual accounts ol his trip, and we are
lelt somewhat to conjecture as to his
present locution j bui it is credibly re
ported he is at St. Georgo, a Mormon
city of 3,000 inhabitants, near the Ari

Courting in Nebraska?Effect of ft
Scarcity of Women.
A heavy done of girls, nono of your
horaoBopnthic prescriptions, is what Ne
braska needs A paity of us were duck
hunting the other day on tho Missouri
bottoms. Night overtook us before we
were awaro of it, and we were obliged
to seek lodging at the first duelling wc
coutr1 find. It was a small oue-story
structure of three rooms, and occupied
by a family of six?father, mother,
daughter, and throe, rons. The sons
Were all unmarried, and from the calls
that wore made afterwards, wo judge the
dsyghter wasuumarried also. We hadn't
been in the house five minutes when
some kind nf a vehiclo drove up and
two yonug men were ushered itfto' tho
parlor: Straightway the raothor and
daughter held a whispered Co?saltation
which closed with an invitation to the
?itting room for supper. It was evident
the young men callers bad bean to tea,
as they su'.d in the parlor with "sweet
sixteen."
Scarcely had we taken- our seats' at
the table when a howl from the dogs
outdoors announced another comer. Ho
seemed to avoid the front door, and
knocked at thai where." otir party was
just sitting to supper. The mother rose^
to answer the summons, when wc were
surprised by the daughter opening the
parlor door nud rushed forward with,
"Don't git up, mother ! It's one of my
follows ! Come in, Jim; how do you
And Jim entered in response to tho
cheery salutation. He triad d himself as
comfortable ns possible till wc had Gn
islied supper, when another whispcrdd
consultation proved that tho "parlor is
full as" it ort to be," whispered by Miss,
in response to .-ome motherly suggestion.
The old gentleman solved tho question
by iuvit insr us into the kitchen to smoke.
It was evident that Jim didn't smoke,
for be remained in the sitting room. Wc
BhoulJ have doubtl ss enjoyed a quiet
ciliar, had tint the old lady opened the
buck door', and sho>rtt:d at the top of her
voice. "Come" round here to th?i back
door !"
It was another young man, an 1 wo
fancied he looked us if he had come in
r.ith< r late. Two young meu withitr
the parlor, one iu the sitting-room and
one iu the kitchen. What, should be
done ? The c mrting business was get
ting hot! There was another talk be
tween mother and daughter. It was
evident their devices had been exhaus
ted. The old gcntlcmau was called iuto
Ihe Corirt!*. He settled tho question by
r? Whisper i
"I'll be d?d if I'll move again uotil
tin settin'-rbom is full-"
Into tho sitting-room went number
four i^fid we smoked. It was full ten
minutes before the naxt disturbers came
und they ?iitcrcd the kitchen with the
air of old acquaintances. We looked
aniiously at the host. Taking his pipe
from bis mouth a sin do sentence re
lieved us :
'{Them's the widiwers. Stick !"
Anc we "stock." and smoked on. For
j the next half hour tho girl must have
j been kept busy. Tho widowers bad
certainly a third of her time. It was ?
o'clock. We wished to go to bed, and
tho only bed we bad discovered was in
the parlor. Tim'old1 gentleman divined
out wishes, etrtr snid*r
"I'm sorry, gentlemen ! Hut this is
ouo oft he regular courtin' nights ! Them
two fellers iu tho parlor never leaves
afore midnight, and the widowors all us
stay all night. And that *?in't the worst
of it. Dan'll be hero at 10 o'clock. 1
aud the boys always sleep in tho hay
stack Friday nights. Yer welcome to
that 1"
The parlor, aittirg*r'?oiiv and kifchen

response to a question on the point the
old gentiomun said that?
"Friday nights it's purty bad, but
Sundays it's wuss. Lust Sunday night
there was ten on 'cm, nud the girl is get
