In the slow old times when Vermont was
the Land Of Promise for the sons Of Massa.
lchusetts and New Hampshire, and the Hol-
land Purchase more remote and inaccessible
than Oregon now is, the lads who set out
/ to seek their fortunes in the settlements
used to manage in this fashion: Vehicles
were nearly out Of the question. for lack Of
roads and bridges; making a long journey
on foot Was not pleasant; and to ride super
fuous horses to the West, besides dimin-
ishing the scanty outfit. was taking them
from dear market to relatively cheap
one. So two Of them would buy or hire q
nag jointly and start-No. | riding off
some ten miles to point agreed on. where
he would see the pony well-rubbed. watered
and fed, and then step off on foot. In due
time No. 2. who had started afoot, would
come up, find the pony every way refreshed.
and ready for work again jump on bis back
ride him off smartly further ten miles,
passing No. on the way. and dismounting
at the stipulated spot, to repeat the water
ing, currying, feeding process, and step
briskly on. Thus forty miles per day were
easily made, the bipeds, travelling twenty
miles each and the quadruped forty. or just
ten miles per leg all round, all arriving in
due time at their destination, in good con-
dition. and with no fatal depletion Of pocket
money.
A nice little arrangement on similar
principle is that which has just been har-
moniously consumated in Louisiana. Mr..
Soule is anotable of that State, leading
Democrat, was recently U. s. Senator. with
a hankering for Diplomatic honors. Mr..
Slidell was another eminent democrat of
the same State. through not exactly Of the
same stripe. being as warmly for Union"
as Soule is for Estate Rights" Gen. Pierce |
made Mr.. SlidelI Minister to Central Ameri-
ca; but that caused jar in the machinery,
as Mr.. Soule had set his heart on q first
class mission. and Louisiana couldn't have
two. At length, after much trihulation, the
matter was adjusted as follows: Mr.. soule
vas appointed Minister to Madrid, and
thereupon resigned his seat in the Senate;

White House, then resigned his Mission,

A Returned Californian.

Mr.. A. Tinkham, one of our old citizens,
reached this place Saturday last on his re
turn from California. Few of his intimate
friends could recognize in him the erect form,
the keen black eye, the energetic man as he
was when he left here some TWO ycrs ago.
Sickness has made him mere shadow, and
nothing short OF an unconquerable desire to
return to his family once more in life could
have sustained him on his passage home
Mr.. Albert Sawtell, formerly of this place,
started for home in tho same steamer: but
when near Havana he died and his body found
water grave. In vain his young wife will
look for his return, and IN years to come she
will hardly realize that all that is mortal of
him lies buried in the deep. deep sea-"
Young man; you who are about to start for
California, go aud see and converse with Mr
Tinkham--look upon his emaciated and
wasted form. And you, young married man

The Mormons believe in this authenticity of
the Old Testament and in the divine charac
ter, mission, and reve alton of Jesus Christ.
But they further believe that similar revela.
tions of the Divine will were made to Joseph
Smith and are now being made, as circumstan
ces require, to Brigham Young, and the other
patriarchs Of the church. The Mormons believe
in polytheism as well as Po'ygamy The
two go hand il hand The one creates and
proves the necessity of the other. According
to the original ideas of their theology, they
are themselves all gods, and the progenitors Of
gods, ,eryng in power, intelligence and dig.
nifty, who have humiliated themselves for a
while, by appearing upon earth and assuming
a human form. One Of their great duties in
this, their Inundated character, is to profigate
their species and people, of not only this but
also worlds unnumbered and uncrcated, with
their decccndants-gods like themselves -
Hence the great necessity and reasons for the
adoption of the system of the plurality of
wives, for the more speedy accomplishment of
this. the great object of their being After
death they will ascend to heaven resume their
original godship. and there live in state of
perpetual beatitic enjoyment, surrounded by
their numerous wives and prosperity. niheit
belief, there is no such place rs separate
and distinct hell. He'll consists simply in the
deprivation of those who are unworthy for Il c
joys and pleasures of Heaven.

A Bit Of Romance.

About six yeas ago, DR.. H, having
become involved in debt, left his home and
wife in another State for Texas, for the pur-
pose of improving his fortunes in place
where he would be free from the demands Of
clamorous creditors. Ir the course of time he
went with the army to Mexico, and finally
wended his way to California. After residing
there some time, he met young man from The
place of his former residence, who, however,
he did not know, and inquired of him if he
knew his wife, whom he described, without,
however, telling him of the relation he bore TO
her. The young man replied that Mrs, H
was his sister, and the last he heard Of her
she was in st. Louis. After accumulatjng a
competece, DR.. H--left for St. Louis, for The
purpose of seeking his wife. who had long
since given him up as dead. In St. Louis he
learned that she had left that place some time
previously, and was believed to be in New
Albany. He came hither, and upon inquiry
learned that she was earning livelihood
by sewing. He learned that she also be.
levcd her brother to be dead, not having heard
from him for many years DR.. H--went to
the house where he understood his wife was
living, but found she had eft there few days
before. He inquired about her general conduct
and demeanor. and found that it had always
beer unexceptionablc. poke but little OF
her husband, but told every one that she con.
sidcred him dead. The lady Of whom Or. Ii
was making inquiries discovered that he
was the long lost husband, and offered to ac
company him to the house where his wife was
sewing. Upon arriving there he said to her
Mrs. H, here Is gentleman who saw
your brother in California" She appeared as
tonished, looked at the visiter, but apparently
did not recognize him. He brushed back his
hair, and said quickly, Eliza don't you know
meg"-Mrs. H---immediately swooned away
and fell on the floor. In the same moment Q
husband and brother. both supposed to b.
dead, was restored to her. DR.. H, as We
have said, has returned with competence
and the supposed widow. it is presumed, will
70 longer sew for livelihood
| The above statement, We are assured, i.
strictly correct. Here is a scene in real life
equal in strangeness to any to which romance
ever gave birth.--New Albany Qnd.) Ledger
