The Music of a Laugh.
BY r. II. TAYLOR.

The music of merry laugh it vibrates on
my ear
Like familiar melody, that gives delight
to hear;
1t wakens all my brighter thoughts of days
now long agone,
When merrily l danced adown life's ver-
dure covered lawn
When sweet content and buoyancy were aye
the hearts good dow'r,
And brightest joys were clustered round
each quickly passing hour!
May gloom and sadness ne'er be found to
lurk upon my brow,
Nor let the glowing happy past o'ertop the
feeting now;
But may yet in every scene that rises to
my view,
Be known to find joy in life, and beauties
ever new,
And while fond mcm'ry cherishes the
dreams of early youth,
May the present take their glowing forms
and realize their truth.
When sick in body and oppressed with
many an anxious care,
I'll turn to friendships holy shrine, and
still find pleasure there;
And may never be so cold as not to feel
cheer
In the merry laugh Of happy minds when
e'er its sound hear
The song of birds is gladsome, but more
musical by half
hat melody of gladness, the music of a

A New ALPHABET ADOPTED BY TIE
MoRNoNs.-They have invented new
alphabet at Salt Lake, of which the
following detcription is giyen:-The Board
Of Regents, in company with the Governor
and Heads of Departments, have adopted
a new alphabet, consisting of thirty-eight
characters. After many fruitless attempts
to render the common alphabet of the day
subservient to their purpose. they found it
expedient to invent an entirely new and
original set of characters. These charac-
ters are much more simple in their struc-
ture than the usual alphabetical characters,
every superhuous mark supposable, is
wholly excluded from them. The written
and printed hands are substantially merged
into one. We may derive hint of the
advantage to photography from spelling
the word eight, which in the new alphabet
only requires two letters instead of five
to spell it, viz: AT The photography will
be SO abridged that an ordinary writer
can probably write one hundred words in
minute with ease, and consequently
report the speech of common speaker
without much difficulty. In the new alpha
bet every letter has fixed and unalterable
sound; and every word is spelt with refer
enee to given sounds.

Nicholas Tulrumble. ESQ

Time, which strews mans head with
silver, sometimes fills his pockets with
gold. AS he gradually performed one
good Office for Nicholas Iulrumble, he
was obliging enough not to omit the other
Nicholas began life in wooden tenement
Of four feet square, with a capital of two
and ninepencc, and stock in trade OF
three bushels and half of Goals, exclu-
sive Of the large lump which hung, by
way of sign-board outside. Then he ell
larged the shed, and kept truck; then
he left the shed, and the truck too, and
started donkey and Mrs. Tulrumble;
then he moved again, and set up u cart;
the cart was soon afterwards exchanged
for a wagon; and SO he went on, like
his great predecessor Whittington-only
without cat for a partncr-increasing i'll
wealth and fame, until at last he gave up
business altogether, and retired with Mrs
Tulrumble and family to Mudfog Hall,
which he had himself erected, on some
thing which he endeavoured to delude him.
self into the belief was hill, about a
quarter of mile distant from the town
Of Mudfog.
About this time, it began to be mur-
INJURED in Mudtog that Nicholas Tulrum-
bic was growing vain and naughty; that
prosperity and success had corrupted the
simplicity of his manners. and tainted the
natural goodness Of his heart; in short
that ne was sitting mp for public charac-
ter, and great gentleman, and affected
to look down upon his old companions
with compassion and contempt. Whether
these reports were ut the time well-found-
ed or not, certain it is that Mrs. 1ulrum-
BILE very shortly afterwards started four
wheeled chaise, driven by tall position
in 4 yellow cap-that Mr.. Tulrumole junior
took to smoking segars, and calling the
footman "feler, and that Mr.. Tui-
rumble, from that time forth, was no more
seen in his old seat in the chimney-corner
of the Lightermans Arms at night. This
looked bad, but more than this, it began
to be observed that Mr. Nicholas Tuirum-
bic attended the corporation meetings
more frequently than heretofore; that he
no longer went to sleep as he had done for
so many years. but propped bis eyeiids
open with his two forefingcrs; that he read
the newspapers by himself at home; and
that he was in the habit Of indulging
abroad in distant and m, sterious alIusions
to masses Of people" aud g the property
of the country" and productive power," "
and the moneyed interest," = all OF which
denoted and proved that Nicholas Tul-
rumble was either mad or orse; and it
puzzled the good people of Mudiog anna

By the steamer Goliah we have highly
interesting intelligence from Salt Lake.
The steamship Cola! left at San Diego
Us. sloop of war Portsmouth and steamer
Columbus, to sail next day for the Gulf Of
California, in search of the FiIlibusters.
Col. Babbitt. Secretary of Utah Terri
tory, came up in the Goliah on his way to
Washington. He arrived at San Diego
just in time to take the Goliah. having
come to San Bernardino in eighteen and
half days from Salt Lake. He left that
place on the fourth of February; when
seven days out from Utah, Col Babbitt
encountered Col. Fremont, who was ma
king his way by the central route to San
Francisco. Fremont had lost seven oi
his men by starvation and exposure; his
party when overtaken by Col. Babbitt
were subsisting on dog and a pint OF
flour given them by Anon, the Utah
Chief, brother of Walker. The night the
two parties met, one of Fremont's men
had dropped from his horse dead.
Fremont was overtaken in Taroan Val
ley, and had with him some fourteen men,
seven or eight being Delaware Indians;
there was foot OF snow on the ground
and they had just got out of SNOW six feet
deep. Fremont had started with but lit
tie -four, trusting to his De!awares to
provide substance by hunting, but game
became so scarce that the party soon came
to starving condition.
When Col. Babbitt left he was still de-
termined to make his way through, but
the Col. thinks he will have great difficulty
in doing SO, as the route which he has
taken is almost impracticable, by reason
of snow and other obstacles. He furnished
him with such provisions and other neces-
saries as he could spare.
Col. Babbitt is the bearer of letters
from Col. Fremont to his father-in-law
Col. Benton. Col. Fremont's party were
compelled to eat eigh cen of their mules.
Col. Babbitt has the field notes and
other memoranda of the lamented Capt
Gunnison. He it was who recovered the
remains Of that gallant officer, and gave
them burial. These and memoranda are
highly important. IS. f. Herald.

8 HstAe great wilderness of the north, mid
between Hudson's Bay and Lake Onta-
rio, lies beautiful sheet OF water called
Stone Lake. 1t is surrounded with hills,
which are covered with dense forest, and
the length thereof is about twelve miles
On the shore of this lake there stood, in the
A1den time, an Ottawa village, and the
most notorious vagabond in said village
was an old bachelor. He was a kind-hearted
rogue, and though he pretended to have a
cabin of his own, he spent the most of his
time lounging about the wigwams of his
friends, where he was treated with the at
tention usually bestowed upon the oldest
dog of an Indian village. The low cunning
for which he was distinguished made him
the laughing-stock of all who knew him,
and his proverbial cowardice had won for
him the contempt of all the hunters and
warRiors Whenever war party was con-
vened for the purpose of pursuing an enemy,
Wis-ka-go-twa, or the White Liver, always
happened to be in the woods; but when they
returned, singing their songs of victory, the
vagabond bachelor generally mingled con-
spicuously with the victors.
But, in process of time, Wis-ka-go-twa
took it into his head to get married, and
from that moment began the troubles of his
life. AS soon as his resolution had become
known among the young women of the vii
lage, they came together in secret council,
and unanimously agreed that not one OF
them would ever listen to the expected
proposals of the bachelor, for they thought
him too great coward to enjoy the pleas
,pres of matrimony. Years elapsed, and the
vagabond was still in the enjoyment of his
bachelorhood.
In the meanwhile beautiful maiden
named Muck-o-wiss, or the Whippowill,
had budded into the full maturity of life
She was the chief attraction of the village,
and the heart of many a brave warrior and
expert hunter had been humbled beneath
her influence. Among those who had en-
tered her lodge in the quiet night, and
whispered the story of hislove, was Wis-ka-
go-twa. She deigned not to reply to his
avowals, and he became unhappy. He
asked the consent of her father to their
union, and he said that he had no objec-
tions provided the daughter was willing
Il 90 happened, however, that the maiden
was not willing, for she was member Of
hat female confederacy which had doomed

ERUPTION OF MOUNT ST HELENs. The
crater Of Mount st. uelens, says the Ore
goaian, has been unusually active foI
several days past Those who have
been in position, so as to obtain a view
of the mountain, represent clouds of smoke
and ashes constantly rising from it. The
smoke appears to come up in puffs, which
was the case in August last. There is now
more smoke issuing from it than there
was then, which indicates that the volcanic
fires are rapidly increasing within the
bowels Of this majestic mountain.

The price of gold rules at 5e3 l6s. Cd

from the various Victoria diggings this

show that 156, ,l66 OF. of gold have been
received from these diggings during Octo-
ber last; Balarat showing an increase ol
7,4Sl OF. over the yield Of October, 1852
while Mount Alexander shows the re.
markable decrease of 232,426 OF. The
yield of the Victoria gold fields in October
1852, was 364,l72 oz. The yield for DC.

At the Braidwood mines, diggers are
spoken of as realizing from two to three
