VINO ARE TO BE WHIPPED The papers
are publishing quite profusely from the
Mormon Gossip at Salt Lake. Mr.. Grant,
denominated RESIDENT ,alluding to the death
of Joe Smith, says concerning the conse-
quences to flow therefrom that:
1t is no matter how much they deal in
compromise measures, or how often they
try to adjust difficulties that lhicken around
them-it is stern fac: that the people Of
the United States have shed the blood oil
the prophets, driven out the saints of God
rejected the priesthood, and set at naught
the holy gospel; and the result of rejecting
the gospel has been in every age, vista
ton from the chastening hard of the AL.

ministered in proportion to the magnitude
and enormity Of their crimes.
consequently, ! look for the Lord 10 use
his whip on the refractory son called I'm

tory sons escape who are better taught
who have had kind Father teaching then

Talking Of precocities, we met General
Tom Thumb in the Eight Avenue cars last
Wednesday, sitting beside one Of his hand

married now, and both stout, rosy, round
faced. good sized and good humored young
women. His father is quite tall dressy
country farmer, with a profusion Of gold
chains on his vest, but no profusion Of
learning higher up-for in his school days
money was scarce, and hard work abund-
ant.
"The tiny General is now about twenty
two years Of age, and is becoming stouter
every year. But positively he is no taller
now than he was twelve years ago. and he
cannot yet climb upon common chair
without assistance. His soul. it is true, is
not mach more capscious than his body.
He is penurious TO degree, and selfish be-
yond expression. He has al the ways and
habits of child, however, and time does
not seem to mature his mind, whatever eff
oct it may have upon his hysieal condition
Tom Thumb lives with his parent in Con-

TAKE Coon CARE OF THE RosEs.-Roses
will well repay little attention at this sea
son.--Tbey have just exhausted themeaves
by profuse bearing, and if the seed vessels
are allowed to ripen on them they become
well nigh prostrated for the season; this
should not be permitted. To remedy this
in measure, little care is necessary in
trst judiciously pruning off a part of the
Oldest wood, and next in digging about and
stimulating the roots to recover their form
er vigorous zone. Liquid manure is ex.
cellent for this purpose, il prepared in this
manner, viz: half bushel Of fresh COW ma
nure, and half the quantity Of hen manure,
if at hand, put into barrel, which may be
filled with water; stir il up. and after TWEEN.
ty-four hours soaking, pour the liqaid free,

closer 10 her fathers bosom, and feels it
sad to lay down young life there in the
dreary tempest. so far from all Of life and

poured warm cordals on the colorless lips
Of the old man, while James took the light
figure of Isabel in his arms and wrapped
her in his own coat. She smiled family in
gratitude, and entreated him to go to her

From the Washington "National Era"
DEAD LETTERS.

BY JANE REvEFAUdH. fa@
Within few weeks, four hundred thousand
,tters have been received at Washington from
alifo'na. Y. Tribune.
Four hundred thousand tokens,
Sent to tn loved in vain,
Come back, with seals unbroken,
O'er land and wave again.
From many happy household,
Far up aud down the land,
They sought, with prayers and blessings,
The lost ones Of the band
To bring back holy memories
Amid the toll and strife,
The avarce and the ireachery, ~
That make war Of life.
o! human love, how faithfully
Thy words are written here,
Folding with yearning tenderness
The absent-yet how dear.
A mothers message to her son,
Child of her hopes and fears;
How many prayers went forth with him
Alas! how many tears!
lie might have stad her faltering steps
Down TO deaths hither shore; g
He died upo the bllowy sea
His mother went before.
Her dying words, sent forth to him
Just from the verge of heaven.
That might have lured him thitherward,
To stranger eyes are given.
A strong man. worn and sun burnt,
From the gold mines to the shore
Went fifty leagues, with hopeful step,
To hear from home once more.
"No letter here"-how bitterly
The words fell on his ear;
Then for a moment Ger him came
An agonizng fear.
His wife--whose very memory
Had made his eyes grow dim
With tears Of manly tenderness
Had she forgotten hm2
With heavy heart and doubtful step
The miner turned away;
He never knew how sweet the words
That came for him next day.
Words written from faithful heart
Written, alas in vain;
From the far hills, the toil-worn man
Had nevri come again.
Such are the proofs OF yearning love,
The words Of kindly cheer
Dear tokens of remembrance
Fond friends have written here.
How many eyes had frightened
With the light Of hope once more;
How many hearts been lightened
On that gold-sanded shore
That weary grew with waiting,
And faltered by the way
Tonight have cheer'd,ye might have saw d
Why are ye here to day7
Why kept we not your mission
From loving hearts and true
To absent ones, still unforgot,
. Who wvtched and wept for you7
Some perished in the wilderness:
Some, on the lrackless sand;
And some in fated ships went out,
That never came TO land.
And many gained the goodly shore,
Land Of thei widest dreams,
And reaped rich harvests on her hills,
And by her golden streams.
But death turk ed in the dark ravines,
And by the river side,
And waited where the tide washed sands
Uncounted treasures hide
And gathered in his harvest there;
Sickness, aud want, and cold,
Crushed out the life of hardy men
They died amid their gold.
The land they sought gave them alone
A burial in her earth,
To such a thousand mines OF gems
Had been of little worth.
Better than all had been to them
The pearl without price,
To cheer in life, to ope in death
The gate of paradise. -
