MY MOTHERS SONG, SWEET HOME.

How oft we hear those simple words,
We hear them breathed in songs
When music bursts from happy hearts
That still TO joy belong!
When rosy beam of daylight dawn,
Or when the shadows fall,
We hear the gladstone echoes tell
Sweet Home" hath charms for all.
Those simple words! That plaintive air!
My mother sang the strain
In days long past, in happy days,
That may not come again!
She sang ii by the household hearth,
Our father sitting by,
And smiles were playing on his lips,
But tear-drops filled his eye!
"On earth there is no place like home"
She taught my lips TO say,
But all that made our home so dear
Long since hath passed away!
We hear no more her gentle voice
At morning or at even;
She has an angels golden harp!
Her song is hserd an Hcauen!
hear it sung by others now.
And DER my soul the while
Steal memories sadly sweet that bring
A tear-drop and smile!
And oh! It's sweet cen now TO hear
Those thrilling murmurs fall,
"Hom., s,ceet, s,reet hone!"--'Tis not Of
earth!
Heaven hath home for all

| A RE for tho first time presented TO the people
n of Glasgow and vicinity as NEW, scIES-
| TIFIc and CONVENIENT method of applying Elec-
tro- Magnetism, in the instant relief and permanent

Hstory.-Pulvermacher Chains were first in
troduced into this country about one year since,
IN the city or New York; where they were sub
iected to the most rigorous and thorough trial in
every hospital in that city, by Professors Valentine
Mott, Van Buren,, Post, Carnochan, who al once
discovered that they possessed strange and ,con-
derf'A power in almost instantly relieving all ner-
vous pain, lchereper located and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case that their
opinions were published through The public press,
and thousands have been induced to try them, and
in no single instance have they failed to perform
all we advertise to do: They are patented in this
country, France, England, Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and are in use in every hospital in Eu-
rope, and also in every hospital in N. Y. City
no other Medical .dgent can produce so many
well Authenticated Certificates of cure-not only
from intelligent patients, but from Scientific Phg-
sictahs, and their sale, wherever introduced, has
been unparalleled.
The chains are so constructed as to be worn
near The skin, producing constant current of
Electro M,gnetism-can be used by either adults
or chlldren-never get out Of repair, and with
proper care will last for years.

mail to any part Of the country. A pamphlet of
80 pages always accompanies each chain, and IAN
be had of any agent, gratis
CAUTION TO LADIES.-Ladies who are en-
eelente are requested not to use them for great
length of time, only for a few moments; for by
continued use miscarriage is frequently produced.
For Uterine Pains one end OF The chain is 10 be
applied over the abdomen, and the other upon the
spine, just above the hips.

Planting an Orchard.

No branch of bushes in the West pays
as well for the amount of money and labor
invested as that oflruit growing, If properly
managed.
Every man who sets a tree or plant should
first procure some treatise on fruit raising
such as Downing on Fruit, Thomas Fruit
Culturist, or Barry's Fruit Garden, and
there he will find everything in the line OF
fruit raisir G satisfactorily explained.
Dry ground should be selected for an or
chard.
The ground should be powed at least one
foot deep; the holes should be dug consider,
ably larger than the extent of the roots of the
tree TO be planted, and not less than eigh-
teen inches deep, cut off all broken roots
and smooth with sharp knife the ends Of
those that are mutiated by the spade in dig
ging. If the tree is of any size, place the
same side to the sun as it was in the nurse.
ry. 1t is readily distinguished: the south
side ;s of a reddish brown color, and the
north 81 dark green. When spiantiug
the tree extend the roots ont 10 their natural
position, and never set tree deeper in the
earth than it was before transpanting; then
fill up the hole with the earth taken from
the surface, we'll pulverized and be sure that
sou leave no vacancies about The roots. II
the groud be dry, when you get the root,
covered, pour III half bucket of water and
when it settles away, fill up the hole. b.
careful not to tread the earth too firm
Then mulch-that is, place coarse manure
or straw one or two inches deep on the
ground about the tree.
A young orchard should be by all mean,
cultivate with hoed crop, and never al.
low small grain or grass to be sown among
them. lfyou wish your trees 10 iuit young
train the tops 10 branch within two or thre,
feet of the ground, and keep your punninl
knife in your pocket and stock out OF the OF
chard. 1t will soon pay you for your trou

The Mormons The Other Side of the
Story,


One ofo exchanges extracts from Desc
ret .NewS of February Sth, the following re-
lstive to the condition OF society in the Ter
ritory of Utah:
At reunion ofthe members of the assem-
bly, at the dwelling of Hon. A. W. Bah
bitt, the Chief Justice appointed by Presi-
dent Pierce, the Hon. John F. Kinney
spoke as follows:
II do not rise TO Tell story, to offer a
toast or propose a conundrum, but to ex-
press my feelings. have watched the do
ings Of the legislative assembly during the
past session. I see YOU have adopted the
wise policy of enacting few and simple laws.
Those governments are accounted the most
wise which have enacted the fewest and
simplest laws. You do not wish 10 rule
your people by law; you try to rule them by
love. Ispeak this not merely to enlogize
Governor Young or his council. Every
thing in this valley bespeaks the enterprise,
the industry, the refinement and the intelli-
gence Of this people. Your fine settle
nents, unsurpassed in loveliness, and beat
,y--your public buildings--your machinery,
and the union and good feeling prevailing
throughout your Terrtory-are all monu-
ments ofthe wisdom and power that infu-
ence and control every department. No
stranger coming into this Territory bu will
be struck at the luxury, nagnifcence, SYM
metry and ingenuity that exists throughout
this valley.
Il was one Of the judges ofthc Supreme
Court in Iowa for seven years; my salary
was 81 900 per year; the salary of chiefjus.
lice in Utah was then $500. l had de-
lightful home IN Iowa, as many Of you have
here. My appointment to Utah was soon
rumored, and my friends, the members of
the bar, expostulated with me on the pro-
prie'y Of leaving Iowa; my post was flooded
with letters from my friends on the subject;
my old friend in New York, with whom |
studied law for years, informed me that
could not live here and dicharge the official
duties assigned me. If examine my own
feelings in relation To coming 10 this place, |
was actuaied by one feeling, which was 70
shcw TO the world that a man could occupy
my present position and discharge the duties
thereof faithfully. was nctuated more By
desire to disabuse the public mind, and to
chow to the world the SANDERS that had
been henped upon this peoae, than by any
other motive. II could not be for wealth or
honor, have wife and five children, one
daughter grown TO womanhood; ard can
say there is less immortality, less drunken
ness, less liceniiousness, here than anywhere
have ever been. turned my back on the
advice Of my friends; have never regretted
the step took. They tried to stay my
family, but I controlled them, though left
il TO their choice TO come or stay. If YOU
call this compliment to your Territory, you
ore welcome TO it, and am proud of it."

Calumnies against the President.

No man, says the Louisville Times, has
ever occupied the presidential chair who has
been pursued by such an unceasng voley Of
calumnes as President Pierce. However DIFF
fcut it may be for northern abolitionists and
southern know nothings to harmonic in many
things, in hatred of President Pierce, they are
sne, and from common sewer pour out upon
him their filthy abuse and infamous falsehoods.
There are certainly good reasons why men
who advocate such principles as those taught
by Seward, Hale, and Chase, should hate
Franklin Pierce. For nearly quarter of
century his genius and eloquence have pre-
served his native state, New Hampshire, from
the pollution of their reasonable doctrines,
and all New England has felt the influence of
his patriotic voice. The holiness and sagaci-
ty with which he has exercised his power and
influence since his accession TO the chief mag
istracy of the Union in behalf of those great
constitutional principles which they so bitterly
hate, has very naturally increased their rage.
1t is not strange. we repeat, that men who de-
sire to deprive fifteen states of this Union Of
their constitutional rights, and make them SER
vile dependents of northern .despotism, should
vilify and SANDER General Pierce. But how
any party in those fifteen states, in defence of
whose sovereignty he has drawn upon himself
the fierce and malignant enmity of northern
abolitionists, can have the graceiess effrontery
to cheer on his and their enemies, passeth our
comprehension.
We have not been given either TO eulogies
or defences of the administration. We have
believed all along that public sentiment would
quietly, but surely, work out for itself vindi-
cation of its wisdom and morality. And we
now believe that the verdict OF the great pop
ular judgment will be that the administration
of President Pierce has been one of the bright
est and purest in our national history 1t can
be truly said of him that every one of his off
cial acts has been marked by that stern deyo-
ton to principle which has characterized his
whole public life. They we're just such as
might have been expected fUm one who, in
an active and prominent public career of more
than twenty years, never once has swerved or
finched from the Jacksonan standard of de-
mocracy

The Democratic Platform.

The New Hampshire Patriot, in timely
and very able article on the prospects of the
democracy, gives the following planks in the
democratic platform -
&c Its platform has been large enough and
broad enough and firm enough to uphold with
just fidelity the interests of the whole country,
from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific, from Canada
TO the Gulf. Fidelity to all the requirements
of the constitutions rigid observance of all
the rights guaranteed to the several states
to. carry out and protect those rights-the care
ful non-intervention of congress in all matters
which simply belong TO and concern the peo-
pie of the individual states or territores-the
scrupulous avoidance of everything calculated
to ALLEVIATE one section of the country from an
other-the most solicitous regard for every
thing which tends TO the protection of our ma
tional Union-the firm belief that the Union
can only be preserved by an exact observance
of all the terms of the great constitutional COM
pact upon which it is founded, and the conse-
.auent adherence of abolitionism and fanati-
cismin all its forms and all its phases-vigi-
liant watchfulness in the protection of national
rights and honor-strict accountability in the
administration of the government, and severe
economy in the national expenditures-all
have been and are the crowning glory of the
democratic creed, and make apparent the true
causes and reasons which have commended
that creed to the great mass OF the American
people,"
