sONG--THE SANDS OF LIFE.
81 rRs. sARAur. BOLTON.


When sat beside thee, hearing,
Ina whisper soft and low.
Every word Of love endearing,
That the tongue of man may know;
When felt thy proud heart beating,
With It's sweet bewitching bliss
When our lips were fondly meeting,
In affections glowing kiss,
Then life's golden sands were falling
Like the sunbeams on the flowers,
And we heard sweet voices calling
On to brighter fairer bowers.
When fair children, in their gladncss,
Come around our quiet hearth
And beguile our hearts Of sadness,
With their thrilling notes Of mirth,
And we stood together beafing,
Hopes and sorrows, cares and fears,
Till onf summer prime was wearing
Into autumn's fading years,
Then lifes silver sands were falling,
Like the moonbeams on the stream,
And we heard Stern wisdom calling,
Human life neeting dream
Now, though life has lost its brightness
1t assumed in other days;
Though our hearts have lost their lightRess,
Wandering through its wildering ways,
Still we travel on together,
Through the sunshine and the gloom,
Offs bright and dreary weather,
To the silence of the tomb.
And the leaden sands are falling,
Like the dusk OH faded leaves,
And we hear lile's reaper calling,
AS he gathers in the sheaves.

Malor Noah argues the question thus;


'1n estimating the amount Of gold which
was brought from Ophir, | find il stated in
Kings chapter IX., verse %, that they
came to Ophir and took from thence 4e0 tai
ents of gold; but in Chronicles H.. chap, VIII.
v. ls it is stated that they took $50 talents of
gold How do you account for this discre-
pancy, and where do you fix Ophir! The
talents 81 or;th.:; sad Jerusalem varied suffi-
cienily to account for the difference, or they
may have taken 420 talents at Ophir and ex
pended 80 10 paying for the service OF King
Iiiram's ships and crews. Archbishop Usher
calculates the silver shekel at 2s. Cd sterling,
and 100. 900 talents OF silver at that rate am
cunts TO $50. $50 900, which being multiplied
by twelve, the proportion oi silver TO gold,
will give the sum Of EI35, 100000 The
whole expense Of building and furnishing the
Temple of Solomon, for which this gold was
bro't from Ophir, was G236, ,477,365 sterling
more than lie national debt of Great Britain.
IL Ophr was three years VOICE from the
Red Sea, il was not in Africa or the Indian
Ocean, which was within sixty days journey.
In the oldest maps Of California, San Fran.
cisco is laid down as the Golden Gates which
is a Scriptre phrase. We can find no other
location but California for Ophr."

SALT LaKE.-The following statement,
signed by William Smith, has appeared in
several southern papers. We give it with
out vouching for its truthfulness, as we have
no positive information on the subject:
IL am in possession of the evidence that
bands of these Salt Lake Mormons, armed
and painted-having the appearance of lndi
ans-are stationed on the way to California
and Oregon, for the purpose Of robbng the
emgrants: Many murders and robberies
have already been committed by these de-
mons in human shape, which have been pub
lshed to the world, and attributed to the In
dans.
The people at the Salt Lake govern their
church by secret lodge of so men. 1t is in
this lodge that Brigham Young is crowned
as king, and is there seated upon the throne
prepared for him.

ExAcTLY.-Under the head OF Scientific
Discoveries, an exchange has the following:
1t has long been known, and any one may
test the face that when a drop Of walter is
placed upon piece oiiron, red or white hot,
and the hotter the better, Instead of being in
stanty converted into vapor. il draws itself
into a globnlar shape, aud is not even boiled
by the intense heat. IL occurted to- French
philshpher. that this fact might explain Get
tain phenomena, Of men being able to handle
or walk upon intensely hot substances, and
upon making the experiment he found, that
he could put his hands in melted iron, or walk
over it barefoot, with ease. Any person can
do this when the skin is most, the only eau
tion necessary being not to move the hand or
other part in contact with the incandescent
metal too quickly. The experiment must be
done deliberately, with iron or other metal
at a white heat, or if melted, still better
deliberately" We rather like that
But if one deliberates a while before he does
it, the danger OF his being burned, is gralely
diminished.
