sTHE GIRL WITH THE MUSLIN DRESS
Twas Saturday eve, when down the Street,
Like dream of lovelness,
Went tripping along on gancing feet
The girl with the muslin dress.
All eyes fixed on the gliding fairy
AS she foated like dream
A Summer dream go light and airy,
by an embowered stream.
But none could tell what magic grace
Around that bright girl strayed;
Some said it was the taper waist
Of the lightly gliding maid
And some ayerred twas the floating hair
That streamel in cnrls of jet;
While Others vowed that cheeks 50 fair
Their eyes had never met
And others thought the downcast eye
With its soft, shy, modest glance,
Like one bright star in the azure sky,
Was what did most entrance.
But one there was with wiser head,
Or else he CHANGED to guess,
Who too had marked the airy tread
OF the girl with the muslin dress.
He said 10 those around him grouped,
"You arc guessing wrong I guess,
For tits because she's nicely hooped,
That you ghoop so at her dress.
The Dry good Stores which once were worn,
We're ridiculous excess,
But with what ease the hoops are borne
When hoopea in a muslin Dress"
And all agreed that he was right;
"Long live the hoops" said they,
"For never was fairer sight r
Than we have seen to-day"
God speed the girl with the muslin dress
For beautiful is she,
And O safety-valve in all distress
May hoops forever be. .--- ar ..#a

THE MORMON WAR.

The Saints have opened their rebellion by
an act of aggressive hostility that brings the
issue at once to decision by arms. They
have begun the struggle by an unprovoked
attack that shows their engerness for the
fight and their determination to resist the
the power of the Union at all hazards, and
there can be no peace till they axe snnihila-
ted or drove from the confines of the Union.
The destruction of two army trains, forty
miles apart by two different parties Of Nor
mons, shows their concert of action and their
resolution to destroy the forces sent among
them. Letters from the officers of the army
confirm the first reports and give the details
The trains which were the property of the
contractors, were in advance of the troops
and under no protection but the teamsters
who made no resistance. The Mormon par
ties consisted of about so men each, both I'M.

provisions and sent back to the troops. Th,

ceipt of this news were preparing for fgh

they expected would be attacked.

There are other incidental losses on ex-
