ago, they being sole proprietors of all the Identical
vineyards. cellars, &C., which the founders and
orignators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co., in

Awful Execution.

The death of Dairy, who was executed,
October 3Oth, at Buffalo Tor the murder of
his wife, was a most shocking occurrence.
The climnal was robed in frock of white.
grit by black Grape sash, and on his brow
the fatal cap. During his dressing for the
grave, the distracted man cried out:
"Great God! Oh! my God! what an end
| have came to! Merciful God, look down
on me! OH Lord have mercy on my soul.
1t was rum that did it,"
TO his dying moment did that terrified
man proclaim that his murdered wife did
not offend him in anything, that he loved
her. and yet under the Internal spell of rum
had he imbrued his hand in her blood; that
hand with which, but three short months be-
fore, he had pledged her his love and pro-
lection. He shreked with terror, and his
cries for mercy were piteous. But he had
been guilty of one of the foulest murders
on record, and he must die; the safety Of
the society demanded his life. Through
his Imprisonment but little penitence was
exhibited, and his attempt to break jail,
and his subsequent efforts to commit suicide
proved that the physical suffering, and the
ignominy of the scaffold alone made him
the coward. But he could not escape his
fate, and during the preparation for the ex-
ecuton continued to cry out. ooh, that
should come to such an end. 1t was rum
that did it," "Tell them to leave liquor
alone 1t has been the death ofme Weep
ing and grooming he screamed. "God help
me-" "God forgive me-" "Christ assist me
to pass through this struggle"

Col. McMcnty.

Having disposed of his homes for the

rare chances for bargains, in his ten acre
lots, only two miles and half from The city.
Parents and others wishing to make holiday
presents to their children and friends, could
do no better than buy for them one of these
lots; as it will be constantly increasing in
value, it will be nucleus around which the
receiver can rally, and when by dint of en-
ergy and perseverance they shall have at
tanned competency, they can look back
with delight to the Christmas Present" as
the starting point.
Credit is due to MACK for offering these
rare chances.

SMOKE, But NO FIRE. - The New Y rk
Courier observes that the ignorance of in
telligent Europeans upon the affairs of this
country is frequently displayed in a manner
highly amusing but there has rarely been
a better opportunity for laugh on this
subject than is offered in the following par
uYlui,ll i'll The Paris Mustrat;un
In New-Yor these very United States,
from whence so much of our tobacco is derived
it is forbidden under the penalty of fine to
smoke in the public streets. Shall we, then
as French, allow ourselves to be beaten on the
ground of propriety, and the usages of civil
lied life by the Quakers?
DIoGENEs, the London rival of Punch,
thus improves the occasion to give the feuil-
letonist some much needed and very valua-
BILE information:
Our friend of the Illustration must excuse
US for correcting him. The inhabitants OF
New York are not Quakers. Buddhism is the
religion of the United States, though the Mo-
hammedan and Jewish creeds are tolerated by
the government under certain restrictions. The
Emperor of New York is the recognized head
Of the church, and breaches every Sunday in
the Kentucky Synagogue. His eldest son, the
Duke of New Orleans, has been declared incl
igiblc to the throne on account of his avowed
leaning towards the Bramin form of worship
We are really surprised at French writer in
the nineteenth century knowing so little of the
religious and political institutions of cotem-
porary people.

A Gay Season.

Judging from the indications, the present
winter will be the gayest ever passed in
Minnesota. 1t has already opened with
several brilliant dancing parties in the city.
Besides these, our friends in St. Anthony
and Saltwater have by no means been idle.
On the 9th inst, that whole-souled cat
erer to the appetites Of his guests, JAMES
BRUCE, gives a Masonic Ball, at the Men
dota House, in that town. He is worthy
and well-qualified, and from what he tells
US, we doubt not he will be duly and truly
prepared to receive all who may favor him
with their presence. All, whether of the
Fraternity or not, will be welcome.
The German Reading Society of this city
vii. give one Of their unique entertainments,
a Waiting parry, at the City Hall, on the
9Th of January. The object, being to pro-
cure library, is highly meritorious, and we
doubt not many Of our citizens will give
them that need of encouragement they de-
serve.
On Thursday evening the ladies of the
lst Presbyterian Church have an entertain
ment at the Baldwin School House and
the following evening the latlies of the Bap-
tist Church, wish to see their friends at
City Hall

By the tenth of January, it is expected the
Iron Horse will reach Waukegan. The

the contractors intended to push the worl;
the present winter. The weather thus fal
hes not at all impndcd their progress.
A passenger car is to commence running

and to follow the track as fast as completed
until it reaches Waukegan. BY the mid
die of January, if not before, Waukegar

did not interpose a single objection, so long
as she was satisfied, and the marriage would
be in q high degree honorable to her, IS
well as advantageous in worldly view.
Now, my dear sir, you say, what is to
come Of all this Let me tell you what
has come Of it. In Deseret there are no
libertincs, with their paramours, 70 houses
of prostitution, no cases of seduction, or
those which disturb the peace Of families in
the States, under your laws. Here, every
woman can have what God intended she
should---a husband--and every man that
wants to, can have wife. And the wo-
man that is the wife of man who has one
or more other wives, is more fortunate than
if she were the only one, for in case of plu.
rality the duties Of the house are divided.
The children here are pretty numerous,
must admit, but this should and does con-
tribute to the happiness of the true follow
ers Of the Lord, from whom we have learn
ed that our duty is to multiply and replen
ISL. But mark this There are no illegiti
mate children in Deseret, no children o.
shame, who are ashamed of their mothers
and disgrace to any but the lowest soci
etv.

nN> We publish below an exquisite poem
from the pen of our contributor, JANE GAY.
One popularity is observable in her writings.
which would doubtless place her under the ban
of class of critics who make everything else
in poetry secondary to its rythm and metre
With these, every line must be divided into
stated SUGGESTIONS of sounds, following each
other with regularly varied cadence, like the
ebb and flow of sound in hand-organ music
Smoothness of rythm is valuable constituent,
but not an essential thing, in poetry. AS in
music the most enhancing harmories are Of
tentimes produced by an artistic combi-
nation of discOrdant tones, so in poetry there
may be melody in spite of irregular metre.
And as the accomplishment of the former
feat is held to evidence high order Of
musical genius, we know not why the analo.
gous rule shonld not hold in poetic composition
Certain it is that JANE GAY sometimes treats
poetic rythm with most cavalier disdain, and
yet her verse is always melodious. The follow
ing exhibits few or none of the peculiarities o.
which we have written, and its regularity Of
metre and accent, will satisfy even the most
mechanical of the machine school of poetica
critics.
