rough, uncouth Shetland poney. The
horse and rider attracted no small share
of attention, and many were the remarks
made, and jests uttered, as the POney
passed along. After proceeding very

on Saturday last. 1t is situated at one
of the most beautiful points on the river,
and is improving with a rapidity truly as
tonishing. Many of the houses are built
in fine style, evincIng health as we'll as
taste. The city is daily receiving ac-
cessions to its population from the Eas'
tern States, and from Europe-and is ale
ready estimated that il already numbers
from Is 900 10 1900 inhabita nts.--
This is certainly surprising TACT when
we recollect that it is but four years
since the MOrmons first made a settle
ment there. The Temple, which is des-
tined to be the most magnificent struc.
ture in the West, is progressing rapidly,
and will probably be completed in the
course of the present and succeeding
summer. Its style of architecture is en-
tirely original unlike anything IN the
world, or in the history of the world
but it is at the same time chaste and ell
egant. ltis said 10 be the conception of
the Prophet Gen. Smith. 1t is being
built by the voluntary labor of the mem
bers of the church, who devote a cer-
tain number Of days in the year TO the
work. If the labor and materials were
estimated at cash prices, it is supposed
that the building would cost something
like million Of dollars. s.--GGzettc. rr.

BAPTISM OF CHRIST.
By N. P. WILLIS.


II was green spot in the wilderness,
Touched by the river Jordan. The darke pine
Never had dropp'd its teassels on the moss
Tufting the leaning bank nor on the grass
OF the broad circle stretching evenly
To the straight larchss, haG heavier foot
Than the wild heron's trodden Softly in
Through long isle of willows, dim and cool
Stole the clear waters with their mufiled feet,
And hushing as they spread into the light
Circlsd the edges of the pebbled bank
Slowly, then riPpled through the woods away.
Hither had come th' Apostle Of the wild,
Winding the rivers course. Twas now the flush
Of eve, and, with multitude around,
Who from the cities had come out to hear,
He stood breast-high amid the running stream,
Baptisng as the Spirit gave him power
His simple raiment was Of camel's hair,
leatheTn girdle close about his loins,
His beard unshorn, and for his daily meat
The locust ond wild honey Of the wood
But like the face of Moses on the Mount
Shone his rapt countenance, and in his eye
Burned the mild FIRE Of love. AS he spoke,
The ear lean'd to him, and persuasion swift
To the chain'd spirit Of the listner stole.
Silent, upon the green and sloping bank,
The people sat, and while the leaves were shook
With the birds dropping early to their nests,
And the grey eve came on, within their hearts
They mus'd if he were Christ. The ripping
stream,
Still turned its silver courses from his breast
AS he OWNED their thought. g but baptize,''
He said, "with water; but there cometh One
TIL g lachets of whose shoes may not dare
Ey'n to unloose. He will baptize with FIRE
And with the Holy GhOst.'' And 10! while yet
The words were on his lips, he rais'd his eyes
And on the bank stood Jesus. He had laid
His raiment off, and with his loins alene
Girl with mantle, and his perfect limbs,
In :heir angelic slightness, meek and bare,
He waited to 60 in. But John forbade,
And hurried to his feet and stay'd him there,
And said, 'tNay, Master! / have need Of thine,
Not thou of mine" And Jesus, with smile
OF heavenly sadness, met his earnest looks,
And answered, Suffer it to be so now;
For thus il doth become me to fulfil
All righteousness" And, leaning to the stream
He took around him the Apostles arm
And drew him gently TO the midst.
The wood
Was thick with the dim twilight as they came
: Up from the water. With his clasped hands
Laid on his breast, th' Apostle silently
Followed his masters stePs-when 10! light,
Bright as the teRfold glory of the sun,
Yet lambert as the softly burning stars,
Envelop'd them, and from the heavens away
Parted the dim blue ether like veil,
And a voice fearful exceedingly,
Broke from the midst: 't7his is my much loO'd so
In scj.Ons am yell pleased,' a snow-white dove,
Flsuting upon its wings, descended through.
And shedding swift music from it's plumes,
Circled and hutter'd to the Saviours breast
