In the principal thoroughfare there are, perhaps, a dozen respectable stores, the rest are wretched shant- ies. Nothing could te more shabby, squalid and commonplace. this is a famous city, over the pic. architectural splendor of which travelers have frequently written themselves and readers into sensational raptures.-- Forit is the city of Salt Lake, chief town of Utah, the residence and capital of the Mormon prophet, whose house surmounted by its gild- ed bee-hive, is one of the objects which attract the eye and excite the curiosity of the stranger on his first Disappointment fell heavily on the mind and spirits ot a New York Mr. Leslie Sandon, who bad lately arrived in the city. disconcerted He presonts no lettors of intro- duction, and merely, as the phrase When Sunday came ho went to hear the service in tho vast tabernacle, where eight thousand men, women and children are gathered under one roof; and the divine necessity and sancity of poly- gamy is preached as a Christain But he soon forgot Mor- manism and every other subject in in the delight of listening to a voice that thrilled his ears and seemed to The tabernacle boasted of a choir; The faces of the singers were not visable to our hero where he sat; but ths prin. | cipal voice, that of a woman, was so pure, fresh and exquisite, that new pulses of pleasure seemed to wuken in the orginization of our weary Sweet. sad, plaintive, passionate that voice sounded, as though striving to soar to the very heaven and to clave it with prayer. For to Leslie Sandon 1t seomed that the voice expressed not rapture of worship, but the wild appeal of grief which would presently change As if to justify his imagining, the voice of the singer suddenly faltered and trembled, and then gave a wild cry and stopped. And thore was a litle commotion in the choir, in the midst ot whieh Leslie learned that one of the singers bad fainted. He walked thoughtfully home- ward. This little incident made somehow a doep impression on him. This is bis fourth day in Salt Linke City. He begins to think that the is not after allso common place, more especially when be learns that the proprietor of the hotel where he is stopping has four wives, and that two or three of these habit J ually wait upon the guests, and are not too proud to pass the plates, and fan away the swarming flies that over interpose between the cup and The attendants in the hotel are all women, and Leslie is especially attracted by the- quiet grace and beauty of one tall, fair haired, slend- er girl, whose countenance expresses you Yet the He by the aspect, the dirt and dismalness of everything. He was thirty-five years old, toler ably good looking, had some pro- perty and much culture, and at pre- sent being on his travels, and weary for a fresh sensation, is much dis-- appointed because here he fails as hardly everspeaks of her own accord but she has at least to answer a question, and then Leslie observes that she speaks with an English accent, ' You are English ?' he says look- ing up at her, as she stands near his chair and hands him a cup of tea. "Ah, yos!' is the sad reply. 'From what part of England did you come?' ¢ From Barnes, in Surry. O, what a sweet place it is.' ¢ Have you been long here ?' "Only three months, and I wish I was in my grave. O, hush; don't say any more. One of the wives approached and the English damsel disappeared.-- Our New Yorker was deeply inter- ested and touched This pretty graceful Hnglish girl, so young and sad--how had she come here ? Who would not pity her?, He saw her again that day at dinner and supper, and each time he contrived to have a few words of conversation with ber. Ho linger- od day after day at the hotel grow. ing more deeply interested in this girl. And hescamv gradually to know her whole story. . Her father and mother had been well to do in farming, and she had received u fair education ; both par- ents had died and left her in the what property there was into money and emigrated to the United States, while Easter Lyne, was sent to' make a living as assistant in London shop. Soon afterwards her brother sent her money and peremptorily ordering her to accompany some friends who were coming out to America to settle, as he had done in Utah.-- Esther was delighted to come; a lonely life of monotonous, ill-paid work in London was growing al- most unbearable ; and although she knew that her brother had settled in Utah bat she had no idea whatever he that had embraced Mormonism. So she traveled across the Atlan- tic and across the plains, and she fonnd her brother proprietor of the hotel in which she was now waiting as attandant, and the husband of four wives. She found, too, that of all the fanatical Mormons in the town hg was the most tinatical and ruthless, and that he had already made arrangements for her marriage with one of the in- fluential elders of Salt Lake City, who desired to increase his cousid- eration with his people by taking a seventh wife. but was anxious to please himself by chosing one who should be young and pretty. In vain the poor girl pleaded, begged and wept; ber urnatural brother knew no pity, and 'man's guardianship over women is absolute ir Utah. There was added to the common slavery of womanhood there this bitter special agony in Esther's case--that the girl de- tested the whole system in its doc- trines as well as in its practices, and would have welcomed death rather than have accepted either.-- So all the power of argument, per- suasion, harshness, menace--the menace of vague and nameless dangers and punishments--was brought constantly to bear on the poor young woman in order to force her into Mormonism. She was there alone, thousands and thousands of miles from the land of her birth. Locked in by that awful cincture of mountain peaks, beyond which lays the des- orts; prisoned amid a community that spares no man nor"woman, but is zealous even to slaying; with those ,who ought to have been her protectors most rigidly set against ber--is it any wonder that fate seemed inexorable to her, that she sometimes guzed into the, deep azure of the glorious sky and th&dght that Providence no longer looked down upon earth? Every strong pres- sure of threat and suasion, every petty weapon of meanness and fan- atical malignity, were all employed to conquor the sad, steady heart of that one poor child. What wonder that the kindly ex-- pressions and genial sympathies of our traveler, touched her very soul; that she watched and waited and prayed for a chance of a word from him; that sho looked to hisde- parture af thoclosing of the heavens against her. The very day of bis arrival ghe bad determined to kill herself. "If no promise comes from the heavens this day," said poor Esther sent, and escape the shame of the future by a suicice's death, he spoke his kindly words; and the fountains of ber heart were unseal~ ed. That night she knelt beside her bed and fervently thanked Heav(n for having sent her a promise, and prayed to be pardened for her evil resolve and to be endowed with strength, hope and courage, room to write somo letters, and was congratulating himself on the quiet of the house, when, from a room be low, be heurd a sound which, if it disturbed, likewise delighted him.-- It was the voice of a woman singing and the first few notes made him spring from the chair. ten thousand,' voice I heard in the Tabernacle on Sunday ! find ont who the singer is | Heaven she is not fat and ugly, or one of mine host's wives !" and it led him to the ladies' parlor.
