The rapid growth of Illinois commenced

log huts Of the Indians suddenly disappear

The rapid improvements commenced by
the white man, had driven them into the
prairies, and their wigwams were no longer
pitched in the vicinity Of the towns, except
when they came TO barter their fufs for

The Indians land east of the Mississippi
had already been ceded to government by
treaty, and the red men only dwelt there
by the consent Of Government. When the

success in selling, became almost dscour-
aged, and nearly concluded TO give it up
The Indians would come into my store by
dozens, and after examining my goods, 60
away without purchasing. They had plen-
ty of shu-ne-ah (mouey) and furs, but
bought no goods, and the reason was
mystery to me.
Al length the chief of the nation came in
company with crowd of Indians. He in
stsntly exclaimed, allow do, Thomas p
Come, show me nice goods. What you
ask for this? III take four yards Of cali
co-three on.skins for one yard-ha half a

The mex! day he came accompanied by
his whole band. His blanket, above his
waist was stuffed with coon.skins. "Amer-
lean. will pay that bill now" said the In
dian.
Suiting the action 10 the word. he began
to pull the skins from his blanket, and count
ing out twelve, held the thirteenth in his
hand, and finally laid it upon the rest, ex-
claiming, "Tbat's it exactly" 1 gave it
back to him, telling him he owed but twelve,
and the Great Spirit would not let me cheat
him. We continued to pass it back and
forth. each one asserting that it belonged
to the other.
AT last he appeared satisfied, and gave
me scrutinizng look; then placing the
skin within the folds of his blanket, be
stepped to the door, and with yell cried,
"Come! come ir, all of you. and trade with
the pale face-he's honest -he will not
cheat the Indian, he believes in the Great
Spirit-his heart is big. he is an honest
trader!"
He then turned to me, and said. "If you
had taken that one coon.sk'n, and my
people would have had nothing to do with
you. and would have driven you away like
a dog; but now have found that you are
the Indians friend. and we shall be yours"
The Indians then began focking into the
store, and to trade, and before The sun had
gone down, was waist deep in furs, and
had shu-he-ah in plenty. That one coon.
skin saved me.

MoamoSIsx IN ESoLAND.-- Mr. A.iRieb-
ards. who in the course Of afecent enamin
alton before 4 Parliamentary committee in
England, in reierance 10 emigrant sliipe. de-
sctibed himself as President OF the Mornf6a
Church 10 England, stated that bis Church
counted 10000 mes16ers in Great Hitakg
including children; that the whole country
is divided into districts, each with lis Prcsi-
dent and that the WORK Of proeelythR 10
proceeding quite satisfactorily. He said
further, thatshe whole Of these Laaster Day
Saints are "authoritively sdvised thar they
should emigrate and gather 70 the main
body in Utah." wliere the number OF tho
connexiion Is between 40 and $4,000. We
have some doubts Of the correctness of
these estimates and are inclined to think
they are exaggerated for the purpose Of piv
ing importance TO the church Still there
can be no doubt that the number of pro-
selytes made in Great Britain and of the
continent is quite large, and in view Of the
nyarible injunction that they must JOIN
their brethern in Utah. we have presented
the probability that year or two hence thar
anomalous territory win be occupied with
sufficient population to enti,le it to admis.
sion as State. When that event takes
place we shall have question presented TO
our statesmen which has never yet srisenin
our history whether territory wherein
Church and State are united can be constitus
tionally admitted into the Union.
In Utah this is undeuiably the case to
such an extent that there is no definable
civil law beyond the pale Of the Church,
The local magistrates are religions function
aries elected at Church gatherings The
courts established by the authority of the
national government are destitute Of busi-
ness. not because there is none for its adiudi-
cation but because all difficulties are adj
justed by the Mormon tribunals. and the
Mornons carefully abstain from the use Of
the National Courts. The President of the
church is tn de .facto Governor and ruler,
and will SO remain, no matter who may be
appointed the nominal Governor. His Gas
is the law of the territory, and there was
more truth than boastiDg in his recent dec-
laration, at Mormon meeting, held at that
city of the Salt Lake, that the national gov
eminent could not help appointing him
Governor, as hewas 50 in reality, and would
so remain as long as he pleased. In whst-
ever light we view this strange developments
OF American progress. it seems fraught
with trouble and exceedingly. difficult ,of
solution; and the stronger the Mormons be-
come the greater is the complication, g.

ne OF the English periodicals, where it ap.
cared anonymously:
MOON BEAMS.
Over fields of thymy bossom,
Over beds of down flowers,
Now upon the streamlet's bosom,
Now within the whispering bowers,
Soft and slow
The moon beams go
Wandering OIL through midnight hours.
Lightly o'er The crested blow.
Where the heavimg waters flow,
Where the bird finds her pillow,
There the glistening moon beams go
Soft and slow,
Soft and slow
Ever wandering. soft and slow.
Queen orbeauty! robed in splendor,
Finds thy silent foot no rest7
Looks thy smile, so soft and tender,
Meier upon kindred breast7
Soft and slow
Shy footsteps 60.
In their silver sandals dress'd.
Queen of beauty! canst thou ever
Thus thy lonely task fulfil,
Sister voices never, never,
Answering thee, from bower or hill!
Soft and slow
AS winters snow,
Fall thy footsteps cold and still.
Silent moon! thy smile OF beauty
Painting hope will oft renew;
Teach me- them thy holy duty,
Waste and wild TO wander through.
Soft and slow,
Still TO go,
Patient, meek, but lonely too.

The Continental Buttons.

When the American army was encamped
at Valley Forge, British officer, who was
quariered upon the family of gentleman
in Philadelphia, bad occasion to visit the
camp, with message under flag OF truce
The lady Of the house determined to ac-
company him, for the purpose Of taking a
suit of regiments to her husband, who bad
been om for some time with the Continent
al army and. as it was necessary to con-
cea her design from the officer, the matter
was accomplished by artihce.
Having taken the stufing out of the
cushions Of the gig, the regiments were in
inserted in its place. and things went on
smoothly, until the roughness of the road
suggested TO the gentleman that his seat
was none of the soflest.
In vain were two unofendng coat tail $
condemned to eternal punishment, and rude
ly ietked from beneath the owner, who be-
lieved that they were the culprits, and in
vain were his pockets searched, in hopes
that the removal of stray key OF pen knife
would alleviate bis misery.
Perceivipg the trouble, and knowing the
danger Of discovery, the lady taxed her
powers Of conversation to the utmost, in
hopes of diverting bis attention from so
pressing subject; but the gig would bump
on, and the Continental buttons obstinate
| ly insisted on ovenging their coun,ry's
wrongs upon the person of the enemy,
doubtless Whispering in their sleeves"
"Se his posture is not right,
A nd he 10 not settled quite;
Look, now, al his old grmaces.
Saw you e. er such comic iscss;"
while he. poor fellow, inwardly blamed the
primitiveness Of Yankee cushions, and sigh
ed for the luxurious quarters that he had
left behind.
Weary miles were travelled, the captain
still suffering the penalty Of his loyalty,
when suddenly the truth flashed across bis
mind, and memory recalled certain myste-
rous conversations he had overheard in
the house, about broadclo,h and eabroide-
ry. The secret was discovered; but his
troubles were not yet over, for he now found
himself on the horns Of dilemma as un-
comfortable as tho Continental buttons, and
he rode on perplexed between his duty TO
the king and bis obligations 10 the lady.
Too much of a gentleman to betray her
and yet too loyal an officer, willingly to car
ry "aid and comfort" to the rebels, be hesi
tated long as TO the course he should pur-
sue; but his galantry at length got The
better of him, and he concluded not to veri-
fy his suspicious BY occular demonstrations
A significant smile and gesture alone
informed his companion that the artfice
was discovered, and the rebel garments
were suffered to reach their destination un-
moleBted
Posterity may settle the question, as to
whether the energy or ingenuity of the
young wife deserves the more praise. and
whether the duty Of the officer should have
superseded that of the gentlemon--but one
thing is certain-the rebel gentleman re-
ceived a uniform which be sadly needed /;
and the memory Of the lady is more fondly
cherished by her descendants, whenever
they think of the continental Buttons"

How TO WEAR A SHAwL.-If a lady
sports shawl at ali. land only very falling
shoulders should venture). we should rec
ommend it to be always either falling
off or being put on. which produces pret-
ty action. Or she should wear il up one
shoulder and down the other. or in soma
way drawn irregularly so as to break ths
uniformity. One of the faults Of the pres
ent costume Is. as every real artist knows,
that il offers too few diagonal lines, Moth.
ing is more picturesque than a line across
the bust. like the loose girdle. sloping across
the bips. in the costume of the early Plan
tagenets. On this account the long scarf
shawlis rs picturesque thing as o lady can
wear. With the broad pattern sweeping
over one shoulder, and narrow one. or
none at all. on the other, 1t supplies the eye
with that irregularity which drapery re-
quires; while the slanting form and colors,
Of the border, lying carelessly round The
figure, give that Eastern idea which every
shawl more or less implies. What oriental
would ever wear a shawl straight up and
down, and uniform on both sides. as our
ladies' often do?

LIVE WITHIN YorR MEAxs.-We don't
like stinginess. We don't like economy
when it comes down to rags and starvation.
We have no sympathy with the notion tha,
the poor man should hitch himself to post
and stand still, while the rest of the world
moves forward. 1t is no mans duty to de-
ny bimselfof every amusement. every lux
ury. every recreation, every comfort that he
may get rich. II is no mans duty 10 make
an iceberg of himself, to shut his eyes and
ears to the sufferings of bis fellows, and to
deny himself the enjoyment that results
from generous actions, merely that he may
hoard wealth for bis heirs to quarrel about
But there is an economy which is every
mans duty, and which is especially com
mendabls in the man who struggles with
poverty--an economy which is consistent
with happiness, and which must be prac.
ticed if the poor man would secure inde-
pendence.
1t is almost every mans privilege, and il
becomes his duty to live within his means
not up 10. but within them. Wealth does
not make the man. we admit, and should
never be taken into the account in our judg.
ment of men; but competence should al
ways be secured when it can be. by the
practice of economy and self-denial to any
;olerable extent Ii should be secured. moi

rived from its requirement and possession
