The Mormon Tcmple.-The Lynn Free
man gives the following description Of the
new Mormon Temple, now IN progress of
erection, at Nauvoo. We think the recent
excitement will put stop TO the humbug be-
fore it reaches dangerous height
The Temple is to be Ito feet By 90 height
g the spre $50 feet. When asked the
st>lc Of architecture, Smith replied, sit was
ali Smith, revealed 10 tim from heaven. :
The material is a species OF limestone .2nnd
on the spot, portion Of which we have in
our possession. 1t is easily wrought, and
must make IA fine appearance. The base
mcnt story is divided into rooms 10 or II
feet square, with small windows, and walls
three feet thick, which causes much coniec-
ture. Over this is the Temple, in which va
rious grades of seats are arranged, for the
Apostles, Priests, the Seventy, and others.
tismal Font, 80 feet in diameter, supported
by twelve brazen oxen, OF full size.
On the outside, the front is supported by
six pillars, at the base of which is represent
cd the feeble li.h, Of the moon, glimmerioa
amid the surrounding darkness the cap il
surmounted by the sIl, emblem of the glo-
nv of MJrmonism, bursting forth upon til,
world. Above the sun are trump"is pro-
claiming the glad tidings. Over IT,,
entrance is tn depository of the gold
en- plates, guarded by flaming swords. A
paved area, similar to St. Peters at Rome
is designed as an outer court for service il
pleasant weather. Their manner Of build
ing the Temple is by dividing the city int
ten wards, and requiring each division to Id
Dor one tenth part Of the time.

Lore al trSt SiSht-A modern author
eloquen,ly says:
Does it require long time, days, weeks,
months, and years to enable human beings
to love one another Does the human
heart slowly and suspciously lay up one kind
thought after another, till the measure of its
affection be full May gentle words and
kindlng smiles pass from the lips and eyes,
aud yet the heart remain cold and untouched,
and willing to lose sight of and to forget the
object of its transitory tenderness! 1t may
be SO with many, for the accidents of time
teach many dillerept lessons, all equally ne
ccsssry and wholesome perhaps to di'lcrcn,
hearts; but before human nature has been
sorcly afflicted, tried or deceived, its temper
is opened to kindness and to joy; and at
,racted by the sympathy of a common ma
turc, why may not those who are strangers
to-day be friends tomorrow Nor does
the deepest affection always close upon the
fountains Of love in the human soul. Like
light streaming IN upon "A prisoner through
the bars of his dungeon, is the SMILE Of faces

There are often, also, sudden revelations OF
sympathy made between human being, by

then conveyed suddenly and easily into their
spirits, and from that moment they rest as
surcd of each others affections and each
others worth, as much as if they had been
mutually known for years. If there were
not these strong and prevailing tendencies
in our nature, the paths of human life would
be barren indeed or the friendships that
spring up over them would, III general, be
sown by the hand Of interest and scIf-lovc.
Bat nature follows other processes; and love
and friendship, ii, first sight, often spring up
as necessarily as flowers expand from bud
into blossom in the course of few sunny
and dewy hours Of one real morning.

THE GIRDLE OF FIRE.
DY rERCIE II. SHELDON.


The lower counties of New Jersey are
proverbiallv barren, being covered with I'M
mcnsc forests Of pine, intcrspersed with CO.
dar swamps. During the dry summer
months these latter become parched to an ey-
tent that is incredible, and the accidental
contagion Of a Gre-brand often wraps i'm
menso tracts of country in flames. The
rapidly with which the conllagra,ion, when
once kindled, spreads through these swamps
can scarcely be credited except by those
who know how thoroughly the moss and
twigs are dried up by the heat Of an Aug
ust sun. Indeed, scarcely spot can be
pointed out in West Jersey, which has not,
at one time or another, hrcn rayagcd by
CONFEDERATION. 1t WAS but few years since,
that an immense tract OF these pine barrcDs
WIS on fire, and the citizens Of PHILADELPHIA
can rccolrct the lurl appearance Of the

ties is ti' of daring deeds and hair-hrcadth
escapes which have been Witnessed during
such time of peril. One Of these tradition

!
The letter from Mr.. Bolts, NJ. C. from
the Commonwealth of Virginia, which APP
peared in the Intelligencer Of yesterday
morning, has excited good deal Of feel.
ing and comment about town. refer to
it without any remarks, and only as one
o. the exciting events of the session.
Whether the correspondence will be fur.
Their pursued, | know not. The present
session, even thus early, has been prolific
OF correspondence between members of
Congress and other public functionaries,
and from the result OF il, so far, canno.
wonder at the wish Of the man who wish
ed, for his own fame sake, that the art Of
printing was abolished. 1t might be add
ed, The art Of writing and the gif; of mem.
Dry.
The House of Representatives had
session yesterday more oil business char
acter than any other which has been held
during some weeks past. There was
manifestation Of much better temper and
feeling than has prevailed there for many
weeks, and every thing which has been
said or done gives indication Of better
state of feeling. The calm, it is to be
hoped, has succeeded the storm. IL the
past is wisely improved in the future, the
result may be most glorious for the char
acter of Congress and for the country.
The most interesting part Of the aciion
Of Congress, though by no means tie
most profitable part, was confined 10 the
Senate. A personal rencontre sprang up
there on the presentation Of memorials by
Messrs. Benton and Tallmadge-the for
mer in favor Of the repeal ofthe Bankrupt
law, and the latter in opposition to it.
Mr.. Benton, with that persevering dog.
gedness of disposition which never aban-
dons any thing, made an attack upon the
Bank rupt law, which Mr.. Tallmadge re.
garded IS cruel in the present state OF
action in reference TO this measure. The
Senator from New York, who is always
decorous and gentlcmanly, and yet bold
and manly, spoke plainly of the effects OF
Mr. Benton's opposition. What was said
was so pungent, that Mr.. Benton at once
became passionate and excited-so much
so, as to use language better fitted Tor the
stable than the Senate chamber.
The Senate was some time in Execu.
tive session yesterday. What was done,
have not learned. The Executive, dur
ing the day, sent in the following impor-
tant diplomatic nominations: Washing
ton Irving, of New York, as Minister to
Spain; Waddy Thompson, Of South Car.
olina. as Minister 10 Mexico and Mr..
Blackford, of Virginia, late editor Of the
Fredericksburg Arena, as Charge DAT
flares 10 Bopota.

the interest will certainly be paid in the
course Of a fortnight or three weeks
The amount tn It was obtained from the
Bank Of Pennsylvania, in foreign bills Of
exchange, specie, and bills receivable
soon available, is $500, 000--out Of this
sum the Governor announces that the
payment of the interest has been already
commenced, and will be completed as
soon as arrangements can be made for
the purpose. The balance of the debt
