Poor Poland.

Ithas already been stated that consequence
of the enormous expenses of the present Euro
pean war, the Emperor of Russia has ordered
a heavy impost to be laid upon the Polish
provinces, which few of them win be able to
pay. The contingent to be paid from the
Polish treasury is increased 5000, 900 of sill
yer roubles What the former contingent
was we have no means of knowing. bat how
great the whole sum must be our readers may
judge by the statement that to meet the de-
mand the lano tax will be increased skiold,
payable in twenty-four instruments. The To-
cal authorities affirm that the prop'ietors viii
not be able to meet this demand in twice as
many instalments. and hence it is said they
are making cxertions to induce the government
to relieve them of the enormous burthen by
finding some other sources OF income. In this
we may read the causes which irHpel the Rus
sian government to seek peace by agreeing to
the four points laid down by the allies The
cost of military operations of Russia, in the
pending war, far exceed the financial capacity
Of. the government. All exterior credit is Of
course impossible. and the country itself is
not able to maintain war carried on upon SO
gigantic a scale. 1t seems likely. therefore,
that if the war should be protracted. the ex-
csssiye burthens of taxation viii force the dis
sented provinces into rebellion.

The Beginning of Mormonisn.

Twenty-eight years ago Joe, Smith. the
founder of this sect, and Harris, his first con-
vert, applied to the senior editor of the .]sau-
nal. then residing in Rochester, to print Lis
{" Book of Mormon" which Joe had found
in the cleft of rock to which he had been
guided by vision
We attempted to read the first chapter. but
it seemed such unintelligible jargon that it
was thrown aside Joe was a tavern idlcr in
the village of Palmyra. Harris. who offered
to pay the printing. was a substantial farmer.
Disguised with, what we considered q weak
inventianv of an imposfer, and not caring ia
strip Harris of his hard earnings. the PROPOSE
ton was declined.
The manuscript was taken to another Office
across the street, from whence, In due time,
the original I" Mormon Bible" made its ad-
vent.
Tall trees from little acorns grow
But who would have anticipated from such
bald, shallow, senseless imposition, such
world wide consequence To remember and
contrast Joe Smith, with his loafer book pre-
tending to read from a miraculous slate-stone
splaced in his hat. with the Mornonlsm of the
present day awakens thoughts alike painful
and mortifying. There is no limit, even in
this most enlightened of all the ages of knowl-
edge, to the influence of imposture and Gre
dulity. Ifknaves. or even fools invent creeds.
nothing is too monstrous for belief Nor does
the fact--a fact not denied or disguised-that
all the Mormon leaders are rascals as well as
impostcrs, either open the eyes of their dupes
or arrest the progress of delusion.

MY COUNTRY.

love my country's pine-clad hills, "a
Her thousand bright and gushing rills,
Her sunshine and her storms;
Her rough and rugged rocks, that rear
Their hoary heads high in the air.
In wild fantastic forms.
] love her rivers deep and wide,
And their bright streams that seaward glide,
To seek the oceans breast;
Her smiling fields, her fertile wales,
Her shady dells, her pleasant dales,
Her haunts of peaceful rest.
love the forest dark aud lone,
For there the wild birds merry tone
Is heard from morn till night;
And there are lovlier flowers, wcen,
Than e'cr in eastern lands were seen,
In varied colors bright.
Her forests and he, valleys fair,
Tier flowers that scent the morning air,
Have all their charms for me;
But more love my country's name,
Those words that echo deathIsss fame,
And sound from sea to sea.
