THE MORMONS.

The Mormons have twelves stakes
places where they build temples, &C.
corresponding with the twelve tribes OF
Israel. On one side of my station, three
miles distant, they have driven one OF
these stakes. They have been making
great efforts the past winter, and more
than twenty in the vicinity have Joined
them. In other parts of the country,
they have made many converts, and now
hod The balance of political po,ecr, and
can elect whom they please to office
OF course, oflice-seckers are their hum
BILE servants. They are also making
great efforts in other parts of the terrific
ry, They claim all the miraculous gifts
and powers of the apostles; daily show
ing signs and wonders which overpower
the credulous, and manifesto zeal that |
have never seen before in any class of re-
ligionists.
will give you summary of their
pretension.
I. Joseph Smith is prophet-as really
as Isaiah; and the book of Mormon, with
all The revelations OF the prophet, which
now makes quite volume, are Of equal
authority with the Ole and New Tesla
ment
2, Theirs is the only true church; they
knor this with absolute certainty Every
other protested disciple of Christ holds
the same relation to this true church
that the Jews did who, in the time
Of the apostles, rejected the Saviour
3. No man can be Christian, or be
admitted into the kingdom of God, un-
less he is baphsed by immersion, by AZ
authorized person
a. None are authorised to preach OF
administer the ordinances, but such as
are called by direct revelation, and set a
part by the authority of Joseph Smith
All others are "lalse teachers and false
prophets, wolves in sheep's- -clothipn

preaching.
5. All who arc baptised receive the
Holy Ghost, and the forgiveness of sins.
Hence they can work all the miracles
promised by our Saviour in Mark xvi
6. Zion, or the New Jerusalem, is in
Missouri, where the Saviour is to appear
in a short time, in person.
z. All that believe are called on by tie
Spirit of God to assemble in the vicinity
Of the various stake and help to bui,d
temples. The Indians are the lost tribes
of Israel, and during this gene ration, they
are all to be gathered at these points,
while all Others are to be cut on-lhat is,
all who do not receive 10 Smith us II
prophet of the Lord.
S. For such as will not believe in this
life, kind of purgatory is prepared in
another world, where they will be brought
to their senses, and made to receive the
prophet; while those who have once Join
ed the Mormons, and have apostatized,
have never forgiveness, neither in this life
nor in that which is TO come.
8. The prophet predicted, eleven years
ago, that Zion is to be built in Missouri
in this generation. But they have been
dispossessed, and the city of their hopes
lies desolate-still they are not without
hope. .Nauroo, their principal city in
this vicinity, contains three thousand in
habilants. Every one of a certain aye is
called on to bear arms, and the ..legion oil
the Lord is drilled twice week; and it
is the common belief that they intend soon
to attempt to relake their claim IN Mssou-
ri.
10. Joseph Smith translated the Bible
anew. In the first three chapters of Gen
esis, he has added the amount Of at least
one entire chapter, for which there is not
the least shadow of authority. In other
parts he makes any alterations that he
pleases-e. g. in Gen. vi. 6, where it is
said, sit repcnted the Lord that he made
man upon the EARTH" the new translation
reads, at repentcd Moan that he made
man." sc.

1t was with peaceful feeling to which
she had for some time been stranger.
The confession she had made had remov-
ed a load from her mind, and steadlastly
purposing never again to enter the labyr-
NTH OF deceit, she hoped by her future
conduct to regain in time the confidence
and esteem of her husband. Animated by
this desire she prepared to arise and seek
him. She soon became sensible OF an
unusual hustle in the house, and rang
her bell to enquire the cause. Her maid
appeared at the summons, and her pale
and agtated countenance increased the
vague Terror which had been awakened
in the mind of Edith, by the unwonled
confusion which seemed to prevail
throughout the house.
"What is the matter Fanny?'' heasked
as the girl approached her bedside.
"Nothing, ma 'am-I don't know" an
swered the Abigail, hesitatlng, and trem-
bling from head to foot.
NO, indeed, ma'am, the babyis as well
as he can be.o
'Do not attempt to deceive me, girl
know something is the matter. My
child lis he ill-has any thing happened
to him? Tell me at once"
"And Mr.. Douglass, where is 'he?"
Fanny burst into tears, and alarmed
beyond the power Of further question,
Edith threw on dressing gown, and des-
pite the clamorous entreaties of her maid
that she would remain in her own apart
ment: descended the stairs. Her room,
was Immediately over the library and
guided by the noise of footsteps and half
suppressed voices, she hastened tlrither.
A crowd was collected in the centre of the
apartment-they drew back on her ap-
proach,-she pressed forward, and the
next minute sank senscless on the body
Of her husband
Months passed before Edith Douglass
recovered her senses, or was able to listen !
to the particulars Of the direiul tragedy her
falsehood had occasioned. The duel
which had taken place had proved equal
ly fatal to both parties, but Douglass ex-
pired on the field, and Newton fingered
in mortal egony for several days. Before
his death, he confessed that the motive
which had actuated his conduct, was de-
termination to be revenged on Edith for
her infdelity to their early engagement.
With this view, he had andeavored to pre-
vail on her to meet him, knowing that
such a step would put her reputation Ell
irely at his mercy. Failing in this, and
hiding from her conversation that she
had kept their connection secret from
Ter husband, he resolved to take public
of informing hm of it, and
hus at once crafty his revenge, by expos
ng Edith and insulting the man who had
him in her affections.
Death comes not at our call The
leart may bear a burthen under which it
vrlthes and shvers, and yet refuse to
Freak. And SO Edith lived on; and
though with Il crushed and broken spirit
'he strove to fulfil her remaining duties,
o watch over and guard with unceasing
Vigilance the tender years of her orphan
BOY, to atone, by the devotion of her whole
ife, for the one fatal error which had ren-
Tered him iatheress,

Thy Name was once a Magic Spell,

Thy Name was once a Magic Spell
BY TIE HON. MRS. NORTON.
Thy name WAS once the rnlgic spell
BY which my heart WIS bound,
And burning dreams Of light and love,
Were waken'd by that sound,
My heart beat quick, when stranger tongues
With idle praise or blame,
Awoke its deepest thrill Of life,
To trcinblc at thy name.
Long years, long years have pass'd away,
And alter'd is thy brow,
And we who met 50 iondly once,
Must meet as strangers now;
The friends Of orc come round Inc still,
But talk no more of thee;
IT'S idle cen to wish it now M
For what art thou to me?
Yet still thy name, thy blessed name,
My lonely bosom fills,
Like an echo that hath lost ITSELF
Among the distant hills,
Which still with melancholy note,
Keeps family lingering on,
When the joyous sound that woke it first,
Is gone, for ever gone.
