The Wifs,sI Appeal.

! d. B Il q.
I'm thinking, Charles its just year.
Or will be, very soon,
Since first you told me Of your love,
One glorious day in June.
All nature seemed to share our bliss
The skies hang warm above, 5
The winds from opening roses bore
" The very breath Of love!
We sought tie still. deep forest shades,
A Within whose leafy gloom
Few ardent sunbeams stole to kiss
The young buds into blooml
The birds caught up our tones Of love,
\. In songs not halfso sweet,
And earths green carpet, violet -fowered,
Itscarcely felt our feet!
All, APRopos of carpets, Charles,
/ looked a.some to-day,
Which you will urchase--wont you, dear!
Before our next soIREEf
And then remember you how lost
In loves delicious dream,
We long stood silently beside.
A gently gliding stream?
Twas Natures mlrror-when your gaze
Nolouger could bear,
Imodestly east down my eyes,
Yet but to meet ii there!
And APRoPos ofmirrors, love,
The dear gift of your mother
Is quite old -fashioned-and to-day
ordered home another.
All, well do remember, Charles,
When first your arm stole round me-
You little dreamed how long your SOUL
In golden chains had bound me!
And ApRopos Of chains, my own,
At Aliens shop, last week,
saw the SWEETEST LOVE, so rich,
So tastful and unique!
The workmanship is most superb,
The gold most fine and pure
! quite long, Charles to see that chain
Suspend your miniature!-
I've heard sad news while you were OUT
My nerves are much Affected
You know the navy officer
] once for you rejected;
Driven to despair by your success,
Made desperate by my scorn,
He went to sea---and has beenl lost
In passing round Cape Horn!
All, APRoros of capes, my love.
I saw one in Broadway,
Oflace as fine as though 'twere woye
0fmoonlight, by fay!
Vou,ll nurchase the exouisitp tbinp7
Twill suit your tast completely
Above the heart that lovesyou, CHARLES, h
Twill rise and fall SO sweetly!

New Revelations among the Mormons

The disciples Of Joe Smith enjoy re-
markable advantage in the constant acces-
sions TO the spirit Of their faith, through re-
newed celestial communications, two new
revelations having occurred within the past
month. On Friday night, May 30, tap
pears that the chamber of Orson Hyde, the
editor of the Frontier Guardian, published
at Kanesyille, Iowa, received sudden illu-
mination, and a manuscript book was pre-
sented to him, which proved to be a trans
lation from that portion Of the golden plates
which Joe Smith was forbidden to disturb
This book is warning against false teachers,
pseudo prophets and wolves in sleeps clo-
thing. 1t tells Of counterfeit revelations
and prophetical impostors, and is particu-
larly explicit in directing the Saints not tc
Ilet 60 Of the IRON ROD meaning thereby the
true priesthood. Another revelation has
been made To- Bishop GLADDEN. Of Ohio, con
taing much Of what had been communica'
ted to the editor Of the Guardian, together
with several addenda, proclaiming the duty

above ail other prophets, seers, high.priest'
and apostles, and announcing his duty Il
form an alliance with Queen Victoria. FL
der Hyde denounces the Bishop for false rev
elation, and unfounded pfetensions, ant
adds some pungent observations upon The
conduct Of certain new converts, closins
with the following exhortation

would be $500 persons deprived of the
means of purchasing the necessaries of lIie'
and when we reflect how small is the pro-
portion which the furnaces and mills OF
Pittsburgh bear to the whole mass of IDLE
mills and furnaces throughout the Union, 1t
is scarcely to be doubted that the number OF
persons deprived of the power of purchasing
tea. coffee. sugar, or clothing, counts by
hundreds Of thousands. Such being the
case. can our merchants wonder that prices
fall from day to day notwithstanding the
diminution that has already taken place IN
the production of both cotton and wooden
cloths Assuredly not. 1t is the natural
consequence of a system which locks to the
substitution of the Pauper labor of Europe
for that of the well paid American citizen.
