A young grass widow, aged 25 years, and ex-spouse of four living husbands, is about to harvest her fifth hay crop in Salt Lake City.

The freedom of our wedded women should be is broad and full as that of the onweded. Domestioity should regulate itself. Tho cord of loyalty, binding love cm not. bt stretch ed very far without breaking ; and when it breaks, love is released. A man and woman are married to ei h other, not to ali their acquaintances an 1 ev.^ry ctt rious gossip. It is fair to presum? that they know whit they wish* and that they can arrange their affairs without intermediation. Tho liberty thoy nr.; generally trilling to give the one to the other they are re strained from giving by tho question of appearances. From this dof'erenco to the society they secretly despise they insure mntnal weariness au?' disnonance, and forego likewise tho satisfaction and advancement thoy might have gained by taking more personal an 1 spiritual latitude Reside the nuptial alia r too often yawns the tomb of woman's pro gress, and, strangely and sadly enough, she assists at itd burial without protest or complaint.

There is a climatic in fluence in America which rofiues features and givoi* delicacy to tho complexion. This is especially tho case in Louisiana, where finely formed woraon arc often found to bo the descendants of ignoble lookiug ancestors. The light olive tint of the woman seems to have been paint ed over a ground color of blushing lake, aud this pinkish creatniness of the skia saves it from dullness and sallownoss. In a word, there is something of that traaspareoy for whioh painters are always seeking. She inherits from her mother over the pea the physical characteristics of round limbs and delicate extremities, with a figure something slighter?another effect of climate, also that sense of art with which the people are born, but can never entirely acquire. From the same source come her coquetry and her grace of speech aud action, but modified. She docs not wear crude colors or awry shapes; nor docs she ozpress herself with unseemly gesture or discordant toucs. Her dress is rather sombre than gay, and bcr carriage simple and conven tional?for they all walk alike. Smooth ness and graceful propriety archers. In a word there is au absence of angles in her general conduct.? Galaxy. I'asliioiis. Tho fashionable umbrella is now more attenuated than evor.

Ladies just from Europe wear their hair very plain aud low on the neck style all tho isgo in Paris. Fringes aro to be very fashionable as trimmings this winter.
