WopfNe MORMON WivEs.---The

dom how strangers can become in

IF a gentleman wishes 10 associate
with our females, let him repent and
be baptised for the remission Of sins.
But this alone will not insure his sue
cess, for many have submitted them.
selves to the ordinance Of baptism and
have added damnation to themselves
by hypccritically bowling to certain
rites and ceremonies with motives
other than to glorify God and save
themselves from this untoward gener-
alton. Let these go forth and preach
the gospel to the natives, like the
Mormon Elders, without "purse or
script Let them be mobbed, tarred
feathered and whipped few times for
Christ's sake, and not for their own
follies; and return after few years.
labors, clear in conscience, pure in
heart, and unspotted from the world.
If they can do these things, and en-
dure, they begin to associate with
our females and seek among them a
companion and partner for the life
that now is, and for that which is to
come. !"
This opens field for enterprisiog
young men, not to be found in every
part Of the world. If the Mormon la
dies insist upon such demonstrations
Of love and purity, il is no wonder that
polygamy ID partof their religion, for
their ''true lovers" must Of necessity
be scarce.

Alf--sfns Sitting on the Stiis Mary 4
I'm thinking on thy smile, MARY
Thy bright and trusting smile f}fiEf gii#
In the morning Of our youth and love,
Ere sorrow came or guile
When thine arms were twined about my neck
And mine loekeC into thine,
And the heart that tlltcbbed for me alone
Was Nesting close to minis.
I'm thinking on the night, Mary,
The night of grief and shame
When the drunken rawlings on my lips,
To thee 1iotneward came
q, the tear was on thy earnest eye,
Aud thy bosom wildly heaved,
But smile love, was on thy cheek,
Though thy heart was sorely grieved.
o. my word was harsh to thee, Mary,
For the wine-etp drove me Wild,
And chide thee when thy eyes Were sad,
And cursed thee when they smiled
God knows l lov'd thee even then,
But the fire was in my brain.
And the curse of drink was In my heart
To make my love d bane.
Thou'rt resting In the church yard now,
And no stone is at thy head
But the sexton knows druhkard's wife
Sleeps IN that lowly bed =
And he says the hand of God, Mary,
viii fall with crushing weight,
On the wretch that brought thy gentle life
To Its untmely fate.
But he knows not Of the broken heart
I bear within my breast,
Or the heavy load Of vain remorse
That will not let the rest
He knows not Of the sleepless night;
When dreaming of thy love:
] seem to see thy angel eyes,
Look coldly from above. ....4.
Thou ,art slumberiug In the peaceful grave,
And thy sleep is dreamess now,
But the seal of an undying grief
Is on thy mourner's brow.
And my heart Is child rs thine, Mary,
For the joys Of life have fled. t|
And long to lay my aching breast

NEW LANGUAGE OF FLowERs.-
The floral dictionary has been enrich
ed by the addition Of the following,
from the old north State, which is, in
cur opinion, the best emblematic de-
finition it contains !:
In North Carolina it is frequent,
among her forests Of fat pine, for a
lover In distress 10 send the fair oh.

this signifies "pine not. y But If. on
the other hand she detects him, There
Is no middle ground between detesta-
ton and alteration, with young wo-
men), she burns one end Of the mes

young man into despair, for it means
II make light Of your pining. y
MExlco.-A Washington cores
pendent Of the New York Times says
that persons who have recently arrived
from Mexico, express the opinion that
Santa Annals government must soon
fall. Having exhausted the seven
millions Of dollars received under the
Gadsden treaty, he attempted to draw
the remaining millions, but the United
States government refused to honor
his draft. In his strait, Santa Anna
got welthy Mexican merchant
named Escandon, to advance money
upon the faith Of the three millions
yet due, but Escandon made such an
enormous shave that only half the
amount, 81, 100000, was received Into
tho State Treasury. This result from
the bargain made by E.scandon, that
one-half Of three millions should be
paid in cash, ond the other half in the
national bonds; which are so deprecia-
ted that he bought them in at the rate
Of twelve cents on a dollar. Thus
these bonds cost him $4,000 and he
will get for them $1,5O0,000.

BARBER, the Democratic candidate,
is $500. The aggregate vote polled
for Governor was over $4,000. The
