The MORMON fen,ple.

One Of the Editors of the ST. Louis
Reveille, having lately visited Nauvoo,
thus speaks of the new Mormon temple:
The system upon which this temple
has been building. is the exactiou of la
Dor every tenth day from every man who
cannot purchase bis exemption from the
task with money. II will be, if ever fin
shed, a very imposing looking edifice.
il stands in high and commanding pc.
sition, prominent object, riveting the
strangers eye at once; and upon near
inspection. the style Of architecture is
found TO be more than commonly attrac-
tive from its siugularitv. II is like
nothing else that we know of; and, I'M
less we may be allowed 10 designate it
as the Mormonic order, il certainly has
none at all. The stone is of excellent
quality quarried in the neighborhood and
very good mechanics have been at work
upon it. The massive caps Of the columns
are already carved from huge blocks,
showing d gigantic round human face,
like The broad full moon. The columns
are made Ia rest upon crescent moons.
sculptured On the face Of the stone, rest
ing with the Horns down, aud with a
profile of eyes, nose and mouth upon the
inner curve. What idea this is meant to
convey we could not learn, though the
innpfassian- irrasistahle that The church
Is DuIlt upon Is oonshine.

"MR. WRIGHT ON TExAs.--At Sken-
eateless, this distinguished Senator was
discoursing upon the subject of Texas

that he had voted against the treaty ne

assent of Mexico had not been obtained.

our national obligations I'd, because
The boundaries of Texas were not accu-

He would be true, he said. to our con-
stitutional obligations IN respect to slave

different thing. Still, in taking the ground
he had, he did not oppose annexation at
a proper time. and in a proper manner !;

take possession of Texas, he would for

A Coon's got the Rooster The
Dayton Transcript tells The following
good joke at the expense Of The Growing
tribe Of Locos who attempted TO make
themselves merry at their defeat in the
Sugar State.
"Some Of the Locofocos recently
raised pole some so or 100 feet high in
Warren county, having box on the top
with draw-lid which could be hoisted
by means of a string attached to it. In
the box they put large rooster, and by
hosting the lid they could let 'chanlic-
leer' out to crow over the coons. But an
old quaker in the neighborhood who had
q fine fat coon well trained to destroy this
emblem of Locofocoism, took him out
and chased him up The pole, then pulled
the string, when Mr. Coon bounced up
on his Rooslership and soon demolished
him. Ia The morning. when the Locofo-
cos thought to make merry by letting out
their chosen emblem. to hear him crow,
judge what was their chagrin, when on
pulling the string out sprang Mr.. Coon
as large as life, rejoicing over the fine
feast he had during lhe night. jus. as the
Wings now rejoice over their glorious tri.

TlTTLIyG,-It is very common for per-

TATTLING.-It is very common for per-
sons TO tell every thing they hear. whe-
Their they have any grounds for the belief
of what they hear or not. To the injury
of an individual, something may be spread
abroad, when there is not the least sha-
dow of truth in the story. 1t is against
this species of tattling which we should
particularly guard ourselves. The wise
man knew how prone the world was to
this sin when he said, " He that keepeth
his mouth saveth his hfe." Truly that
man who is careful what he says-espe-
cially when he knows it is in his power
to injure the character of a person, or
thwart any of his purposes-acts up to the
proverb, and gains the esteem and friend
ship of his fellows. Although by not be-
ing sufficiently on your guard, you may
excite a degree of interest at the expense
of the character of a neighbor, depend up
on it, it is only for moment. You but
heap Goals OF fire on your own head. Be-
ware how you use your tongue; it is a
good rule which somebody has given us,
to think twice before we speak once. Act
up to this, and none will complain of you
in this respect - and you will gain the
confidence of mankind, which is more to
be desired, than all the secrets of a COM
munity. Portland Tribune.

II is duty devolying upon every men,

longing TO it happy. This may with a
very little pleasant exertion be done. Let
every one contribute. something towards
improving the grounds belonging to their
house. If the house is old and uncom-
Portable, let each exert himself to render il
better and more pleasant. Ii il is good
and pleasant, LET each strive still further to
adorn il. Let Towering shrubs and trees
be planted, and vines and woodbines be
trailed about the windows and doors; add
interesting volumes to the family library;
little articles Of furniture TO replace those
which are fast wearing out; waitupon and
anticipate each others wants, and ever
have pleasant smile for all and each.
Make home happy! Parents ought to
teach the lesson in the nursery, and by the

cept and example. If they would, ours
