From the information before us, says the New

ofwar Brunswick would have opened her guns
upon the fillbusters, with u view to dlsl0dge
them.
Colonel Anderson still held Castillo. He
had three months provisions, six pieces of ar
tIllery, which he captured from the Costa Ri
cans, with abundance of ammunition, that would

LADIES OF THE WHITE HousE.-The
secluded little village of Mercersburg,
IN Franklin county, Penn, will soon be
able, in all probability, to claim the
honor of having given two mistresses to
the White House During Gen. Harri-
sons short term, his daughter-in law,
Mrs. Jane Harrison did the honors of
the presidential mansion. Her maiden
name was Irwin, and she was a native
of Mercersburg. She was not only a
lady Of great personal beauty, but pos
sessed, in an eminent degree, all the
graces and virtues of noble woman.
She afterwards died in Cuba with the
consumption - that terrible disease,
which carries off so many of the fairest
and loveliest of our country women
And now another Nercersburg lady,
Miss Mary Lane, will, in all probability,
be the next mistress of the White
House = unless Mr.. Buchanan, at this
late day, destroys the harmony of his
whole life by consummating his rumo1 ed
marriage. Miss Lane is very acco m
plished lady, and fully qualified for the
graceful duties of the position.

LECTURES -MoRMoNIsM.- lee.
ture on Friday evening last upon "the
moral and social condition of Utah y
was well attended. 1t was well known
that Mr.. Hyde, the lecturer, was a re-
convert from the mormon faith, and
considerable curiosity existed to learn
from one who knep, the condition of this
singular people, the practical working
of their strange doctrines, and the cause
of his own detection. The lecturer de-
clared polygamy to be the great distinc-
tive doctrine and foundation of Mormon
ism. The terrible evils of this system
were shown by vivid portrayal of the
present condition of Utah.
On Saturday evening the lecture was
upon " Brigham Young" The church
was crowded. Instead of an ignorant
bigoted enthusiast, as we had supposed
this Mormon Governor to be, there was
described to us a man of remarkable
powers and possessing the highest quail
itles OF leader - bold, energetic, am
bilious both fond and capable of rul-
ing. The increasing dissatisfaction
which the citizens of Utah feel towards
the general government, may assume
troublesome character under the leader
ship of such man.
We have seldom listened to a lecture
combining so high literary merit, with
such accurate detail The lecturer was
earnest, for the exposure of the errors
of the Mormon faith he has manfully
devoted the powers of no ordinary in
tellect. He was accurate = for he told
what himself had seen and known. The
subject is of growing Importance, for the
people whom it concerns are living al
most at our very doors.

ANCIENT LITERATURE.

The following extract from very
ancient author, may be read with profit
by the fast young men" of the present
day. The original work from which it
is taken is very scarce, but we acciden-
tally discovered copy lying ON the up
per shelf of a friends library, covered
with dust. He had forgotten that he
had it
Remember now thy Creator in the
days of thy youth, while the evil DAYS
come not, nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, have no pleasure
i'll them: while the sun or the light, or
stars, or the moon be not dark ened, nor
the clouds return after the rain: in The
day when the keepers of the house shall
tremble, and the strong men shall bow
themselves, and the grinders cease. be.
cause they are few, and those that look
out of the windows be darkened and
the doors shall be shut in the streets
when the sound of the grinding is low.
and he shall rise up at the voice of the
bird, and all the daughters of nusick
shall be brought low: and when they
shall be afraid Of that which is high, and
fears sLall be in the way, and the al
mond tree shall flourish, and the grass
hopper shall be burden, and desire
shall fail: because man goeth to his
long home, and the mourners go about
the streets or ever the silver cord be
loosed, or the golden bowl be broken,
or the pitcher be broken at the fountain,
or the wheel broken at the cistern.-
Then shall the dust return to earth as
it was, and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it.

and as nails fastened by the masters of
ASSEMBLIES, which are given from one
shepherd. And further by these, nay

is WEAKNESS of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion Of the
whole matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments for this is the whole
duty of man. For God will bring every
work into judgment, with every secret
thing, whether it be good CT whether it
be evil"
