Movement of the dormons.

Western papers inform US that the Salt
Lake Mormons have determined to form
a chain of Mormon stations, throughout
the States and Territories, at which the
pilgrims to the Salt Lake, many of whom
are very poor, may stop to recruit or pass
the winter, and from which they may be
helped forward BY such aid as they re-
quire from the brethren. By this means,
It is expected that the MorrHoHs viii the
more readily undertake the great journey
through the United States and the faI
western wilderness. Arrangements have
already been made for Mormon settle
ment on the Kansas river in Kansas Ter
ritory, and stations of this kind are to be
formed in chain from Salt Lake east
ward. This movement has q twofold
character. First Il is intended TO ha>
ten the day when the Territory of Utal
will have sufficient population to demand
admission into the Union-as State am
| if the intentions of the Salt Like chief
are carried out, this viii not be long hence
for il is stated, no doubt truly, that ther
are one hundred thousand Mormons il
| Europe, ali of whom are willing TO emf
| CRATE to the Salt Lake. Next: II is in
tended to establish Mormon churches o
colonies in all the principal cities Of th
| United States, so as to give the Salt LAX
/ settlers friends who viii defend thei
cause, and congregations from which the,
J. may derive ernigrants when desired
Mormon preachers have commenced or
lera.ions at various cities, and in st. LOU
There are stated to be two thousand MOI

The Test sf q oentisman,

The forbearlng use of power does not
only form touchstone even the man
ner in which an individual enjoys GER
tain advantages is a test. The power
which the husband enjoys over the wife
-in which We must include the impuni-
ty with which he may be rinkind to her
.-the father over his children, the teachE
.er over his pupils, the old over the young
and the young over the aged, the strong
over the weak, the officer over the men,
the master of vessel over his hands,
the magistrate over the citizen, the en-
ployer over the employed, the educated
over unlettered, the experienced over the
eon6ding, the keeper of secret over
whom it touches, the gifted over the or
dinary man-even the clever over the
silly-the forbearing and inoffensive use
of all this power of authority, or total
abstinence from it, where the case ad.
mits it. viii show the gentleman in a
plain light. Every traveller knows at
once whether gentlemauly or rude of.
ficer is searching his trunk. No gcntle-
man can boast OF the delights of superb
or health in the presence of a languid pa
tent, or speak of good luck within hear
ing of man bent by habitual misfortune.
Let man who happily enjoys the advan-
tages of an honest life speak of it TO q
fallen, criminal fellow being. and you will
soon see whether he be, in addition 10 his
honesty, gentleman or not.
The gentleman does not needlessly and
increasingly remind an offender of a
wrong he may have committed against
him; he cannot only forgive-he can
forget and he strives for that nobleness
of self and manliness Of character which
imparts sufficient strength to let the past
be truly. the past. He viii never use
the power which the knowledge of an
offense, false step, or an unfortunate
exposure of weakness gives. merely to
enjoy the power of humiliating his neigh
Dor. A true man of honor ieels humbled
himself when he cannot help humbling
others

l~e4eas is Truth. ana 1t WIN Prevail"

Truth may be despised -may be op-
posed but it contains an imperishabie
germ of greatness and of empire. The
acorn falls upon the ground, yegetates in
the soil, and presently. a seeding plant
appears, liable TO destruction from every
blast; but notwithstanding frost and
storms, lis roots infix themselves raore

truth may, be accounted contemplate ;
may be slow in its progress; may be
often threatened with annihilation from
the sophistries of error, and rageo perse-
euters but, nurlnned by an Unseen and
almighty influence, its grasp Of the human
intellect extends; its attributes of gran
deur and beauty are unfoided /; its head

ultimately, it appezss eHthroHed the mi

Home and Women.

Our homes-what are their corner
stones but the virtue of women, and on
what does social welEbeihg rest but on
eur homes? Must we not trace all other
blessings of civilized life to the doors OF
our private dwellings Z? Are not our
hearth-stones guarded by holy forms of
conjugal, fiIial, and parental love, the
eorner-stenes of church and Stste-more
sacred than either, more necessary than
both Let our temples crumble, let our
public halls of justice be leveled with
the dust; but spare our homes Let no
socialist invade them with his wild plans
of community. Man did not invent, and
he cannot improve or abrogate them. A
private shelter to cover in, two hearts
dearer to each other than all the world |;
high walls to exclude theprofane eyes of
every human being; seclusion enough
for children to feel that mother is a holy
and peculiar name-this is home and
here is the birthplace of every secret
thought. Here the church and State
must come for their origin and support.
OH spare our homes. The love we ex-
perience there gives US our faith in an
infinite goodness; the purity and disin-
terestedness of home is our foretesse and
our earnest of a better world. In rela-
tons there fostered and established do we
find through life the chief ysolace and Joy
| of existence. What friends deserve the
name, compared with those whom birth
right gives US @ l u
One mother is worth thousand friends;
one sister truer than twenty intimate COM
panions. Ne who have played on the
same hearth, under the light of the same
smile, who date, back to the same scene
and season of innocence and hope, IN
whose veins run the same blood, do We
| NOT find that years only make more sacred
the tie that binds? Goodness may spring
Iup distance separate different spheres
may divide; but those who can love Al
IaIl. must find that the yearning for thest
sisthe strong spark in our expiring asfection
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-01-27

Did you ever study the cheapncss Of
pleasure ? Do you know how little it
takes to make man happy? Such tri-
fles as penny, or smile, do the work.
There are two or three boys passing along
give them each chestnut, and how
smiling they look-they viii not be cross
for some time. A poor widow lives in a
neighborhood who is the mother of q half
dozen children-send them half peck
of sweet apples, and they all viii be hap
| py. A child has lost his arrow-a word
to him, and he mourns sadly help him
to find it, or make him another, and how
quickly viii the sunshine play upon his
sober face. A boy has as much as he
can do to pile up load of wood-assist
him few moments. or speak q pleasant
word to him, and he forgets his toll, and
works away without minding it. Your
apprentice has broken mug, or cut the
vest too large, or slightly injured piece
of work-say "you scoundrel," and he
feels miserable-remark .I am sorry, T"
and he viii try to do better. You employ
a man-pay him cheerfully, and speak q
pleasant word to him, and he leaves your
house with eontented heart, TO light up
his own hearth with smiles and gladness.
As you pass along the street, You meet a
familiar face-say "Good morning." as
though you felt happy. and 1t viii work
admirably in the heart of your neighbor.
Pleasure is cheap-who win not bestow
it literally? If there are smiles, sun
shine, and flowers all about, let us not
grasp them with misers FIST, and lock
them up in our hearts. No! rather let
us take them and scatter them about us
in the cot of the widow, among the groups
of children, in the crowded mart, where
men of business eougregate. in our fami-
lies, and everywhere. We can make the
wretched happy, the discoutented cheer
full, the afflicted resigned, at exceedingly
cheap rates. Who will refuse to do il?

The League Of Freedom.

When thunder clouds are gathering forth,

Join in the stormy rain;
Who then 80 yainly proud as boast
To stand before the fearful hosts
SO when the Free
OF earth agree
In such brotherhood to form,
Who shall endure the mighty storm
The Tyrants In their league have kept
For centuries the rod;
And nations groaned, and people xept
And trembled at their nod.
And wealth, and life, and all such things,
Have been the sport Of foolish kings;
The time is past
The die is east
The Free shall league their countless host
To hold the day, whate'r it cost!

In all its gloomy pride;
There thrones for the last time have met,
And with each other We'd.
Is Was . bloody struggle, sooth,
And kings have learned an important truth
They'll never make
Another stake,
Nor martial legions from afar
To join in regicidal war.
There's yet to be another field,
And for another prize;
The freedom Of the world shall yield,
In one last sacrifice
OF life, and hope, and truth, and right,
;. Or thrones shall sink beneath her might,
When brave Magyar,
And Erin there,
Frank, German, Pole, and Saxon twain,
United, sweep the battle plain
Oh, Freedom ever from her lair
Shall Austrian leopard bound
Upon her prey? The Russian bear
Forth from his frozen ground
And polar SHOWS, to slaughter rush,
Mad where he finds no more 70 crush!
Is there no friend
His aid to lend,
Nor power on earth, nor arm Of might,
To give thy bleeding cause respite
No truce! If Freedom s'er despairs,
'Tis not TO supphance given;
The mountain oak by summer air
Has never yet been riyen.
The foe is proud; about his throne
Nor mercy breathes. nor truth is known;
By dark intrigue

In one self-will, the tyrant's thrall.

The exiles in their banishment .s
Are envoys from the people sent,

To link the thousand conquering hands
OF freedom in their distant lands.
As keaves old oceans rising wave,
To thunder ON the shore,
So shall the columns of the brave
Swell to the battles roar,
When al that's dear in human life
Shall struggle in the mortal strife;
And while there's scope,
Or ground to cope
For Freemen in each others cause,
Their serried columns shall not pause.
