FROM THE NEW YORKER.
THE BOOK OF MORMON.

One ofthe greatest literary curiosities of
the day is the much abused "Book of Nor
mon." That work of the kind should be
planned, executed and given TO the scrutiny of
the world by an ilterate young man of wenty;
that it should gain numerous and devoted par
tisans, here and in Europe, and that it should
agitate whole State to such degree that
law, Justice and humanity were set aside to
make a war of determination on he new sect,
seems scarcely credible in the nineteenth GEN.
;ury and under this liberal Government; yet
such is the fact.
The believers in the book of Mormon now
number well nigh $4,000 souls in America, to
say nothing OF numerous congregations in
Great Britain. They style themselves Latter
Day Saints. as it is prominent point in their
faith that the world is soon to experience a
great and final change. They believe, and In
slst upon believing, literally. the Old and New
Testament; but they also hold that there are
various other inspired writings; which, in due
seasons, will be brought to light. Some OF
these 1.-THE Book of Mormon for example) are
even now appearing, after having been lost
for ages. They think that in the present gen.
GRAFTON will be witnessed the final gathering
together of all the true followers OF Christ into
one fold OF peace and purity-in other words,
that the Millennium is near. Setting aside the
near approach of the Millennium and the Book
OF Mormon. they resemble in faith and disci-
pine the MethodiSts, and their NEE -ings are
marked by the iervid simplicity that charac-
terizes that body of Christians. Ii is in be-
leving the Book of Mormon inspired that The
chief difference consists; but il must be admit
ted thai this is an important distinction.
This is their own declaration OF faithin thai
point: young man named Joseph Smith, IN
the western part OF New York, guided, as nc
says, BY Divine Inspiration. found. in 1850, a
kind of stone chest or vault containing num-
Der of thin plates of gold held tegether by q

praped with unknown characters. The char

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, December 26, lS4O.

SIR:-I have the honor to acknowledge, and
have laid before the President your letter OF
the 18th instant. touching the arrest and Inn
prisonment OF Alexander Mcleod, British
subject, and late Deputy Sheriff of the Mag
ara District in Upper Canada, on charge oi
murder and arson, as having been engaged IN
the capture and destruction of the steamboat
"Carolne,'' in the month of December 1877;
in respect to which you state that you feel it
your duty to call upon the Government of the
United States TO take prompt and effectual
steps for the liberation of Mr.. Mcleod, and
to prevent others of the subjects OF her Ma
iesty, the Queen of Great Britain from being
prosecuted or molested in similar manner,
for the future.
The demand. with the grounds upon which
il is made, has been duly considered by the
President, with a sincere desire to give to It
such reply as will not only manifest prop
or regard for the character and rights OF the
United States, but, at the same time tend to
preserve the amicable relations which, SO adj
yantageously for both, subsist between this
country and England. OF the reality OF this
disposition, and OF the uniformity with which
It has been evinced in the many delicate ana

THE FATE OF GENIUS.

Having just been reviewing the lives of sew

we have been forcibly impressed with The fac,
thar, oftentimes, exalted genius-genius which
could command the respect and admiration Of
a world, has been intimately allied to distress
ing poverty poverty that crippled its ener-
gies--chiIled its fervent aspirations after fame,
and pressed, with an ICY hand, like the nihgi-
mare upon its soaring thoughts.
Too little do the mass OF the reading public
know at what cost their mental qualification is
often provided--a at what sacrifice their intel
lectual banquet is spread. While they are
perhaps almost convulsed with laughter at the
bright salies and flashes of wit--wIlie they
admire the pungent and home thrust acuteness
of safiric humor- while they melt into tears
over he thrilling pathos which gushes pf,om
the deep and full fountains Of sensitive soul,
they little think that their favorite author, who

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

AT recent meeting of the Royal Society of
Copenhagen, some further evidence was pre-
scented of a character tending to show that the
continent of America was discovered by the
Scandinavians, long anterior to the time of
Columbus. DIR. Lund, an eminent Danish &C.
ologist, announced that in an excavation he
caused NJ br made IN the cnyirons Of Bahia,
Brazil, he found the fragment of flat stone,
covered with ruined characters, deeply engrav-
led, but much damaged. Having succeeded
after long researchin deciphei ing some words,
which he discovered to belong to the Island
language, he caused the excavation to be ex-
tended in all directions; and he soon discover
ed the foundation of a house, in cut stone,
which from the architectural affinity strongly
resembed the ruins which exist in the North
of Norway, in the island, and upon the wes-
tern coast of Greenland He caused con-
tinuation of the excavation for several success
sive Gays, and finished by finding the statue of
the god Thor, God of Thunder, of the ancient
iScandInavians,) withal his attributes; the hum.
mer, the gauntlets, and the magic girdle. The
Society ordered a full report of these iscov-
| cries to be published under the direction of

has so delighted them, is, perhaps, at the very
moment in which they are praising his produc-
ton, the inmate of some miserable garnet, pale
with intense study. shivering over few smo-
king brands without the comforts and necessa-
ries and conveniences of life, and pining away
in wreiched indulgence. Little do they think
that while they perhaps, were reposing sweet
ly upon bed of down and locked in gentle
and dreaming slumber, he, by the feeble glim-
mering of "A farthing rushlight, which he had
expended his last penny to purchase, penned
for their perusal and delight the "thoughts that
breathe and words that burn" with pathetic fer
vor.
Not, however, unfortunate is always the
fate OF genius. Sometimes its bark happens
to be launched upon a food tide wave, and by
it is borne onward and upward, to glorious
destiny. Would that such happy contin-
gency could be the lot OF all the deserving
Would that those whose eloquent and fervid
thoughts the public admire, could reap but a
1.-THE of the pecuniary advantage which is Of
ten derived from their pro auctions. But this
is seldom the case. The bookseller, or some
one else, who never wasted his health and en-
orgies over the midnight lamp, makes for
tune from some splendid effort of genius, while
the fated author is either doomed to chilling
poverty, or is moulding in the common re-
ceptace of morality, unconscious of the raptu-
rous applause which is bestowed upon his tai.
