lefinite, !, Mohammedism and Budh-

definite, a Mohammedism and Budh-
ism have o sort of fixed creed. The
idolitOrs of the Southern Sea can
boast a certain theology, nor is a
thread wanting by which we can trace
their excesses to a distorted and per-.
verted truth. But Mormonism is q
puzzle. 1t began in the freak Of a
sick man, who amused himself by
writing an imitation of the Holy
Scriptures. It's originator was a
blackguard, without intelligence,
learning or cultivation. Its promi-
nent supporters since that. time have
been men Of the same class. The
sermons which are preached in its
temples are merely incoherent farra-
goes of slang, smut and nonsense.
Its professors assume to be saints,
without vouchsafng even a nominal
proof of their saintliness. In truth,
the scoundrels who have deluded so
many people \prove nothing, teach
nothing, and come to no conclusion.
The Mormon religion is all comprised
in an asserted sanctity. ,.os
1t is clearly evident that such a
scheme, so empty and insane, must
soon have exhausted it's materials of
delusion in spite of the diabolical in
genuity Of its inventors, had not pains
been taken to graft upon it something
which, if not religious was at least
tangible. The doctrine Of polygamy
gave to the Salt Lake faith that which
it so signally lacked an Indictment,
a temptation and a stimulus--and
this is, in fact, the length and breadth
and thickness Of it all. Take out
the plurality Of wives, and the whole
scheme becomes SO nakedly nothing,
that all the religious fanaticism in
the world would hardly secure it a
convert. But there is this low tempt
alton, this appeal to unhallowed lust,
this play upon curiosity, this practice
upon the morbid minds of men and
women. Its main strength is in its
novelty and oddity. Bad men think
that it must be fine thing to have
seventy wives, and weak women long
to know by actual experience what il
is to be the inhabitant of harem.
And it is this promise of a Paradise,
infinitely more sensual than that OF
Mohammed, which has besotted the
male and Seduced the female converts
to Mormonism. 1t is by taking q
strange and bewildering step toward
barbarism, that Brigham Young has
secured so many followers.
OF course crime so alien to the
spirit Of the age and to civilized Gus
toms would have but a short exis-
tencc, if it were committed in a To-
cality accessible to ordinary iuAuen-
ces. Unfortunately it is practiced
thousands of miles from the places in
which it is preached, and that dis.
tance which lends enchantment to
the view precludcs effective exer-
tion for its abolition. 1t must, then,
either be taken in hand by the Gov.
ernment, which has a clear right ia
interfere with it, so far as it rebels
against federal authority, or else i,
must be allowed to remain and work
out its own explosion. ,Phe Govern
ment has thus far done nothing, mol
is there any certainty that anything
will be done. But we may safely as
sumo that, even without such inter
ference, such an establishment al
that at Salt Lake cannot long endure
in the nineteenth century on the
American continent. o.a..Ga

Eli Thayer at the South.

The Worcester Spy of June 8,
says: 1}a FL. aH Fl. ,y
"Hon. Eli 1'hayer returned to his
home, in this city, yesterday morn
ing, after q fortnight's tour of busi-
ness and observation, through por'
tions Of Western Virginia and East
ern Kentucky. Mr.. Thayer made no
secret of the objects of his visit, and
was received with the most cordial
hospitality wherever he went, by
Shareholders as well as others, and
the most intense interest was every
where manifested in his emigration
scheme for infusing Yankee enterprise
and Yankee thrift into the dead and
lifeless communities of the sunny
South. He addressed several public
meetings during his absence, at which
he unfolded his plans ofthe Emigrant
Association, and at all of which his
remarks were listened to with the
closest attention, and complimentary
resolutions were passed. Mr., Thayer'f
first visitto the South has demonstra-
ted that the bark of the fanatics Of
the South is worse than their bite,
and that tho people are ready and
anxious for the influx of n horde Of
Northern omigrants, to till their fields
and show them how to appropriate
the muni6cent natural advantages
they possess,

TO MY MOTHER.

Ny Mother--o thatsacrsd name
The spell thatbringS nay boyhood back,
Long years of absence, wealth or fame,
Can blot thee from the beaten track;
Thy wild boys heart-thO' sad it be,
Still loves--apd fondly turns to thee.
Der prairies wild--on stormy wave
Has been my wayward lot to rove,
Yet, in my heart the gem you gave,
Burns brightly still--thy early love
Yes--in my heart, and brighter far,
Thy love shall beam than morning star.
NV Mother old, and worn and weak.
=. Thy steps arc tottcring to the tomb,
And ON thy shrunk and haggard cheek,
The rose of health hath ceased obloom;
Yet, in thy withered heart, so old,
Thy gentle love hath ne'er grown cold.
Come, lean upon my heart, for there
Is still thy home, and resting place;
Tho stormy years have passcd--yet fair,
To me, is still thy gentle face, - p
For on each linesment zee, .I ..,l,
The tender boon YOU gave to me.
And, Mother, wilt thou come no more
When gone to thy bright home, aboyei
And in my slumber on me pour,
The fond endearments of thy loyef
sFond Sve, dear Mother, makes my heart
.5 more true, DOL. ..H..'J .,' .
Ny love shall be a monument to you.
