THE EVENING STAR. | GLOVERSON, THE MORMON. So A Bomance.............. By Artemus Ward. a CHAPTER I. THE MORMON’S DEPARTURE. The morning on which Reginald Gloverson | wus to leave Great Salt Lake City with a mule } train, dawned beautifully. Reginald Gloverson was & young and thrifty Mormon, with an interesting family of | twenty young and hamdsome wives. His | unions had never been blessed with children. | As often as once & year he used to go - Omaha, in Nebraska, with a mule-train, for | goods; but although he had performed the | ra her perilous journey many times with entire | safety, his heart was strangely sad on this | particular morning, and filled with gloomy | forrbodings. i The time for his departure Radarrived. Tho high spirited mules were at the door, impatient- ly champing their bits. The Mormon stood sadly among his weeping wives. « Dearest ones,” he said, “I am singularly sad at heart this morning; but do not let this depress you. The journey is a perilous one but—pshaw ! I have always come back safely heretofore, and why should I fear! Besides, i know that every night, asI lay down on tha bright starlight prairie, your bright faces will come to me in my dreams, and makemy slum- | bers sweetand gently. You, Emily, withyour mild biue eyes; and you, Henrietta, with your splendid black hair; and you, Nelly, with your hair so brightly, beanlifully golden; and you, Mollie, with your cheeks so downy; and you, Betsey, with your wine red lips—tar more delicious, though, than any wing [ ever tasted— and you, Maria, with your winsome voice; and you, Susan, with your—with your—that isto say, Susan, with your-—— and the other thirteen of you. each so good and beautiful, will come to me in sweet dreams, will you not, Dearestists?" “Our own,” they lovingly chimed, “we w “And sofarewell! cried Reginald. «Come tomy arms,my own!” he said, “that is, as many of you as can do it conveniently at once, for I mnst away.” He folded several of them to his throbbing breast, and drove sadly away. But he had not gone far when the trace’of the | off-hind mule became unhitched. Dismount- img, he essayed to adjust the trace; but ere he had fairly commenced the task, a singularly | refractory animsl—snorted wildly, and kicked Reginald fright ‘ully in the stomach. He arose with difficulty and tottered feebly towards his mother’s house, which was near by, falling dead in ber yard, with the remark, “Dear Mother, I’ve come home to die!” “So I see,” she said; “where’s the mules ?” Alas! Reginald Gloverson could give no an- swer. In yain the heart-stricken mother threw herself upon his inanimate form, crying, « Oh my son—my son! only say where them mules is, and then yon may die if you want to!” In yain—in yain! Reginald had passed on. CHAPTER I. PUNERALTRAPPINGS The mules were never found. H Reginald’s heart-broken mother took the body | } | | | { 1 | home to her untortunateson’s widows. But before her arrival she discreetly sent a boy to bust the news gently to the afflicted wives. which he did by mforming them in a hoarse whisper, that their “old man had gone in.” The wives felt very badly indeed. “He was devoted to me,” sobbed Emily. nd tome,” said Maria. “Yes,” said Emily, ‘he thought considerably of you, but not so much as he did of me.” say he did!” nd I say he didn’t!" ie did!’ “He didn't!” jon't 199 § me, with your squint eyee!” a? thake your red head at me!” isters!” said the black-haired Henrietta, 4: cease this unseemly wrangling.

DUST_TO DUST. The funeral passed off in a very pleasant manner, nothing occuring to mar the harmony of the occasion. By a happy thonght of Reg- | inald’s mother the wives walked tothe grave twenty a-breast, which rendered that part of the ceremony thoroughly impartial. + * % % That night the twenty wives, with heavy hearts, sought their respective ceuches. But no Reginald occupied those twenty respective eouches—Reginald would nevermore linger all night in blissful repose in those twenty respec- tive couches—Reginald’s head would never- | more press the twenty respective pillows of | tho e twenty respective couches—nevyer, neyer- more! “ = P In another house, not many leagues from the House of Mourning, a grey-haired woman was weeping passionately. «He died,” she cried, “be died, without sigerfyin’, in any Tespect, where them mules went to!” CHAYTER iv. MARRIED AGAIN. ‘Two years aresupposed to elapse between the third and fourth chapters of this original Amer- ican romance.

And aeons I have already twenty-five wives, whom I tenderly respect and care for, I can truly say that I never felt Jove’s holy thrill till I saw thee! Be mine—be mine!” he enthusiastically cried, and we will show the world a stril illustration of the beauty and truth ofthe noble lines, only a good deal more so— “ Twenty-one souls with a single th Twenty-one hearts that beat as on: ‘They were united, they were!
