Slumber stills the mourners grief

Not a murmur wakes the shore,

Where careless meath yGrnal sun

Tho haunt is lone, the heart must grleve'
From whence her liInid wing doth soar,
They pensive list, at hush oreVc,
Yet hear her gushing song no more

Beyond what vcs,al lips have told,
And like lamb, from fountain clear,
She turns, con6ding to the fold;
She round thy sweet domestic bower
The wreaths Of changoess love s""'' '"'"''
Watch for thy step mt vosper hour'
And blend her hottest prayer with thine
Deal gently, thou, when far away,
Mid stranger scenes her foot shall rove,
Nor let thy tender cares decay,
The soul Of woman lives IN love;
And should'st thou, wondering mark a tear
Unconscious from her eyelid break,
Be pItiful, and soothe the fear,
That mnn's strong heart can ne'er partaNe.
A mother yields her gem 10 thee,
On thy true brenst to sparkle rare
She places meath thy household tree
The idol OF her fondesl carc
And by thy trust 10 be forgiven,
When Judgment wakes in terror wild,
BY all thy TREASURED hopes of heaven,
Deal gently with the widows child.

ave will conclude all other means for the
promotion Of our prosperity and happiness,
under the head Of national virtue and piety.
1t is a truth developed in the Scriptures,
and which will eternally be developed through
out the empire Of the Almighty, hat misery
is forever inseparaole from vice, and happi-
ness is forever welded to virtue. Piety is
the great conservative principle in the moral
INTERESTINGLY is the great repulsive, dis
organizing, destructive agent in the moral
universe. A government is pure and perma.
nent, and calculated 10 produce happiness,
just so far as it is founded upon and i~ncorpo-
rated with the principles of piety.
The influence Of Christianity constitutes
the great difference we behold among the
nations of the earth. Those Of Christendom,
when true to their principles. uniformly ex-
hibit a vast superiority. This sentiment is
sustained by a fact, that when n Christian ma
ton embraces infdelity she is plunged into
all the horrors which might be expected as 4
consequence Of separation from the great
source of happiness. DO you want proof
Look at France. That nation tried the fear

pendence of Heaven-they %renounced alIe-
glance not only TO Louis XVI, but to the
King OF kings. They cut loose their moor

the human heart. If you would catch a

PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY.

The business, affairs Of this country have
never frightened moro rapidly, and with bet
ter prospects than since the passage Of the
Independent Treasury Bill. 1t wa solemn.
ly predicted BY some and believed by others
that the passage Of that bill would depress
the price Of every description Of merchan.
dis, and reduce the wages of labor 10 a
condition with that Of the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe.
1t is not surprising that the authors OF
these monStr0uS lmposlllons are nOw ashamed
Of hem-tIat they are uneasy whenever
the subject of prices is introduced-and that
honest John Davis, though a candidate for a
prominent office, has sunk into lnslgnlflcance,
or is mentioned only as 4 reproach 10 his
party and Z disgrace to his station. The
deliberate fal schools which he and his friends
palmed off apon the ignorant who believed
them, can no longer deceive any One-they
will forever remain 4 stigma and disgrace TO
their authors.
We unders,aud that the manufacturing bu-
slress has sprungforward with a bound-that
ever thing prospers with them. and that
their profits will be all they can ask on what
they now manufacture. The United States
Bank which ha, been their curse, but which
they have supported-which has inflated the
currency with the passage Of every tariff,
and thus invited foreign importations-nhich
had the use OF public money, and loaned ii
10 Importers to introduce foreign goods
this British United States Bank has broke. 1t
has hung like a curse and a mill stone on the
nects Of the commercial and manufacturing
community until it can no longer harm them.
The Independent Treasury strikes a blow at
the -oot of this mischievous policy--so IN
Just to American citIzens-so enrIching TO
the foreigner.
But the federalIs.s wish to ~unsettIe this
permanent, American and independent poll
cy and restore the old quack, bloated. bank
ing bubble with all lis expansions and con-
fractions. They wish to take the public
money for the use Of spectators, importers
and gamblers. The British are pouring their
money into thi, country with proiuslon 10
influence our elections, and 10 re-establish,
if possible, the British policy of enricbing
themselves at our c1penses.-Hartford

THE MoRMoNs.-A keel boat arrived a,
this city on Sunday last with about thirty
of this new sect. We understand they be-
long to a party Of 80, who left the vicinity
Of Preston, England, about two months
since; although the company separted al
Pittsburg, they are all destined for the head
quarters of the Mormans, at Nauvoo, ad-
joining Commerce, Illinois. These were all
good looking farmers and mechanics; and We
are told that another party is on the way
from England, destined to the same point.
This sect is rapidly on the increase. Their
church in England comprises between 2 and
5000 members, mostly in Lancashire; they
have also regularly organised societies in
Liverpool, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Man.
chester, &c. About 100 Methodist preach
ers in England have embraced this iaith.-
In this country, there are about $500 at Nau-
VOC, ILL.,, and about 1000 in Lee county, in
Iowa, on the opposite side Of the Mississippi.
They have churches in Quincy, Springfield,
Jacksonville, and various other parts Of Hi
noIs. There is a church of about 100 mem
bers at Dayton. Ohio, and they intend 10 es-
tablIsh one in this city shortly; eight persons
were baptised by them. in the river, in front
this city, last Sunday and Monday. With
the exception Of Missouri, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, they have regularly organised
IN every state in the union; those
at Philadelphia and New York comprise
each about 800 members. They publish a
, 1840-11-21

monthly journal in Manchester, England,
and another at Nauvoo, Illinois. The inhu-
man prosecutions they suffered in Missouri
in the winter and spring Of 1889, were a
disgrace to the state and to the benevolent
spirit of the age. ITO their own Master
they will stand or fall."-Cin. Chron.
