* IN PRISON.
* The New Year opens Dark and Dreary
* The Mormons suffer
* The Missouri Legislature consider the "Persecutions" of the Saints
* Brigham Young flees from Missouri
* Joseph indites an Epistle from Prison
* The Prisoners indicted
* They escape from Missouri.
THE instinctive buoyancy of feelings that ever greets a new year was little shared by the imprisoned Prophet at the opening of 1839. His first burst of awakening thought was dedicated to the nation:
   "O Columbia, Columbia, how art thou fallen! The land of the free, the home of the brave!—the asylum of the oppressed—oppressing thy noblest sons in a loathsome dungeon, without any provocation, only that they have claimed to worship the God of their fathers, according to his own word, and the dictates of their own consciences!!!"
There is a charming innocence in such spurts of eloquence. Joseph never doubted the right of his own position, and expected every one to look at everything from his standpoint, failing which they were certain to be corrupt and worthy of damnation, and the world's liberty was a farce.
His youthful claims to be a prophet had in a measure withdrawn him from the ordinary experience of the world. He knew little of the diversity and wide range of human thought and the influence of circumstances upon human judgment. The sentiments of his Arabian brother—"Great is Allah! and Mohammed is his Prophet," was the true interpretation of his thoughts. Joseph always believed that he ought to be the first subject of interest to the whole world, as his mission was its salvation or damnation. It has ever been difficult to prevent men of his kind from drawing down fire from heaven.

* THE EXILES FIND AN ASYLUM IN ILLINOIS.
* The Prophet again at liberty
* Nauvoo selected for a New Zion
* A City rapidly Built
* Brigham Young sent to England
* The Saints importune Congress for Redress
* Joseph visits President Van Buren
* The Mormons still cling to the Promises of Zion in Missouri.
The abandonment of Missouri shook the faith of many of the disciples, but the majority were unchanged—
The Missourians had been victorious they knew, but what Joseph had said about the coming glories of Zion, the New Jerusalem, and the Temple in Jackson county, was, they nevertheless believed, true and from heaven. All would yet be right.
Of those who abandoned the faith, some remained in Missouri, and others returned to their former homes in the eastern States; and, in the language of an ancient record, "even unto this day" they may be found—half Mormon and half nothing else—scattered throughout Ohio, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and most of the New England States.
Early in the spring the citizens of Quincy saw a large increase to their numbers of poor, destitute Mormons. They were utterly helpless, and many of them bordering on starvation. Meetings were called and measures adopted for their particular benefit. At the same time, the ignorant were assured that the Mormons had no design of lowering the prices of labour, but were only seeking "to procure something to save them from starving," and that they were, "by every law of humanity, entitled to sympathy and commiseration." Those were humble days; but they were soon to change.

The Faerie Queene is an English epic poem by Edmund Spenser, the first three books of which were published in 1590. Books 4 to 6 followed in 1596. The Faerie Queene is notable for its form: it was the first work written in Spenserian stanza. It is an allegorical work, written in praise of Queen Elizabeth I. Largely symbolic, the poem follows several knights in an examination of several virtues.Warning: template has been deprecated.

The RECLUSE of NEW-BRUNSWICK; or, HERMIT OF POINT LEPREAUX.
A Poetic Tale.
BY A NOVASCOTIAN, in CHARLOTTE COUNTY, NEW-BRUNSWICK.
SAINT JOHN, N. B. PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR.
1842.
PREFACE.
The Author of the following little work makes no pretensions to the attainments of the refined Poet—yet without arrogating to himself any thing of the classic minstrel’s lays, he still candidly acknowledges, that he entertains the opinion, that he is not altogether a stranger to the inspiring muse; consequently he humbly hopes that the kind reader will, after a patient perusal, feel himself justified in coinciding with him in his opinion; he also hopes that the subjects and characters introduced into the work will be found suitable for the purposes therein represented, and give the Author the merit of blending the “useful with the pleasant.”—To accomplish this desirable attainment, he draws his “bow at a venture,” humbly anticipating, that if he does not “hit the mark,” he may come so near it, that a generous-minded public will enable him to “fill his quiver with arrows,” so that he may send them winging their way with antidote for crime’s pernicious bane.

# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Gramaphone At Fond-Du-Lac

The Gramaphone at Fond-Du-Lac
Now Eddie Malone got a swell grammyfone to draw all the trade to his store; An’ sez he: “Come along for a season of song, which the like ye had niver before.” Then Dogrib, an’ Slave, an’ Yellow-knife brave, an’ Cree in his dinky canoe, Confluated near, to see an’ to hear Ed’s grammyfone make its dayboo.
Then Ed turned the crank, an’ there on the bank they squatted like bumps on a log. For acres around there wasn’t a sound, not even the howl of a dog. When out of the horn there sudden was born such a marvellous elegant tone; An’ then like a spell on that auddyence fell the voice of its first grammyfone.
“Bad medicine!” cried Old Tom, the One-eyed, an’ made for to jump in the lake; But no one gave heed to his little stampede, so he guessed he had made a mistake. Then Roll-in-the-Mud, a chief of the blood, observed in choice Chippewayan: “You’ve brought us canned beef, an’ it’s now my belief that this here’s a case of canned man.”
Well, though I’m not strong on the Dago in song, that sure got me goin’ for fair. There was Crusoe an’ Scotty, an’ Ma’am Shoeman Hank, an’ Melber an’ Bonchy was there. ’Twas silver an’ gold, an’ sweetness untold to hear all them big guinneys sing; An’ thick all around an’ inhalin’ the sound, them Indians formed in a ring.
So solemn they sat, an’ they smoked an’ they spat, but their eyes sort o’ glistened an’ shone; Yet niver a word of approvin’ occurred till that guy Harry Lauder came on. Then hunter of moose, an’ squaw an’ papoose jest laughed till their stummicks was sore; Six times Eddie set back that record an’ yet they hollered an’ hollered for more.
I’ll never forget that frame-up, you bet; them caverns of sunset agleam; Them still peaks aglow, them shadders below, an’ the lake like a petrified dream; The teepees that stood by the edge of the wood; the evenin’ star blinkin’ alone; The peace an’ the rest, an’ final an’ best, the music of Ed’s grammyfone.
Then sudden an’ clear there rang on my ear a song mighty simple an’ old; Heart-hungry an’ high it thrilled to the sky, all about “silver threads in the gold”. ’Twas tender to tears, an’ it brung back the years, the mem’ries that hallow an’ yearn; ’Twas home-love an’ joy, ’twas the thought of my boy... an’ right there I vowed I’d return.
Big Four-finger Jack was right at my back, an’ I saw with a kind o’ surprise, He gazed at the lake with a heartful of ache, an’ the tears irrigated his eyes. An’ sez he: “Cuss me, pard! but that there hits me hard; I’ve a mother does nuthin’ but wait. She’s turned eighty-three, an’ she’s only got me, an’ I’m scared it’ll soon be too late.”
On Fond-du-lac’s shore I’m hearin’ once more that blessed old grammyfone play. The summer’s all gone, an’ I’m still livin’ on in the same old haphazardous way. Oh, I cut out the booze, an’ with muscles an’ thews I corralled all the coin to go back; But it wasn’t to be: he’d a mother, you see, so I — sliped it to Four-finger Jack.
# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Idealist

The Idealist
Oh you who have daring deeds to tell!  And you who have felt Ambition’s spell! Have you heard of the louse who longed to dwell  In the golden hair of a queen? He sighed all day and he sighed all night,  And no one could understand it quite, For the head of a slut is a louse’s delight,  But he pined for the head of a queen.
So he left his kinsfolk in merry play,  And off by his lonesome he stole away, From the home of his youth so bright and gay,  And gloriously unclean. And at last he came to the palace gate,  And he made his way in a manner straight (For a louse may go where a man must wait)  To the tiring-room of the queen.
The queen she spake to her tiring-maid:  “There’s something the matter, I’m afraid. To-night ere for sleep my hair ye braid,  Just see what may be seen.” And lo, when they combed that shining hair  They found him alone in his glory there, And he cried: “I die, but I do not care,  For I’ve lived in the head of a queen!”
# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Junior God

The Junior God
The Junior God looked from his place  In the conning towers of heaven, And he saw the world through the span of space  Like a giant golf-ball driven. And because he was bored, as some gods are,  With high celestial mirth, He clutched the reins of a shooting star,  And he steered it down to earth.
The Junior God, ’mid leaf and bud,  Passed on with a weary air, Till lo! he came to a pool of mud,  And some hogs were rolling there. Then in he plunged with gleeful cries,  And down he lay supine; For they had no mud in paradise,  And they likewise had no swine.
The Junior God forgot himself;  He squelched mud through his toes; With the careless joy of a wanton boy  His reckless laughter rose. Till, tired at last, in a brook close by,  He washed off every stain; Then softly up to the radiant sky  He rose, a god again.
The Junior God now heads the roll  In the list of heaven’s peers; He sits in the House of High Control,  And he regulates the spheres. Yet does he wonder, do you suppose,  If, even in gods divine, The best and wisest may not be those  Who have wallowed awhile with the swine?
# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Land of Beyond

The Land of Beyond
Have ever you heard of the Land of Beyond,  That dreams at the gates of the day? Alluring it lies at the skirts of the skies,  And ever so far away; Alluring it calls: O ye the yoke galls,  And ye of the trail overfond, With saddle and pack, by paddle and track,  Let’s go to the Land of Beyond!
Have ever you stood where the silences brood,  And vast the horizons begin, At the dawn of the day to behold far away  The goal you would strive for and win? Yet ah! in the night when you gain to the height,  With the vast pool of heaven star-spawned, Afar and agleam, like a valley of dream,  Still mocks you a Land of Beyond.
Thank God! there is always a Land of Beyond  For us who are true to the trail; A vision to seek, a beckoning peak,  A farness that never will fail; A pride in our soul that mocks at a goal,  A manhood that irks at a bond, And try how we will, unattainable still,  Behold it, our Land of Beyond!
# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Return

The Return
They turned him loose; he bowed his head,  A felon, bent and grey. His face was even as the Dead,  He had no word to say.
He sought the home of his old love,  To look on her once more; And where her roses breathed above,  He cowered beside the door.
She sat there in the shining room;  Her hair was silver grey. He stared and stared from out the gloom;  He turned to go away.
Her roses rustled overhead.  She saw, with sudden start. “I knew that you would come,” she said,  And held him to her heart.
Her face was rapt and angel-sweet;  She touched his hair of grey;
But he, sob-shaken, at her feet,  Could only pray and pray.
# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Trapper's Christmas Eve

The Trapper’s Christmas Eve
It’s mighty lonesome-like and drear. Above the Wild the moon rides high, And shows up sharp and needle-clear The emptiness of earth and sky; No happy homes with love a-glow; No Santa Claus to make believe: Just snow and snow, and then more snow; It’s Christmas Eve, it’s Christmas Eve.
And here am I where all things end, And Undesirables are hurled; A poor old man without a friend, Forgot and dead to all the world; Clean out of sight and out of mind... Well, maybe it is better so; We all in life our level find, And mine, I guess, is pretty low.
Yet as I sit with pipe alight Beside the cabin-fire, it’s queer This mind of mine must take to-night The backward trail of fifty year. The school-house and the Christmas tree; The children with their cheeks a-glow; Two bright blue eyes that smile on me... Just half a century ago.
Again (it’s maybe forty years), With faith and trust almost divine, These same blue eyes, abrim with tears, Through depths of love look into mine. A parting, tender, soft and low, With arms that cling and lips that cleave... Ah me! it’s all so long ago, Yet seems so sweet this Christmas Eve.
Just thirty years ago, again... We say a bitter, last good-bye; Our lips are white with wrath and pain; Our little children cling and cry. Whose was the fault? it matters not, For man and woman both deceive; It’s buried now and all forgot, Forgiven, too, this Christmas Eve.
And she (God pity me) is dead; Our children men and women grown. I like to think that they are wed, With little children of their own, That crowd around their Christmas tree... I would not ever have them grieve, Or shed a single tear for me, To mar their joy this Christmas Eve.
Stripped to the buff and gaunt and still Lies all the land in grim distress. Like lost soul wailing, long and shrill, A wolf-howl cleaves the emptiness. Then hushed as Death is everything. The moon rides haggard and forlorn... “O hark the herald angels sing!” God bless all men — it’s Christmas morn.
