A NAME I'M TIE SAND

Alone walked the ocean strand,
Apearly she'll was in my hand;
/ stopped and wrote upon the sand
Ny name--the year-the day.
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind I cast
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
And so, methought, twill shortly be
With every mark on earth from me;
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore.
OF Time, and been, to be no more;
Ofme, my frame, the name bore,
To leave no track nor case.
And yet with Him who counts the sands.
And holds the waters in His hands,
l know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name.
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moment caught
For glory or for shame!

it have birth too often and dearly well

y MoRMoNIsM IN UTAH.-John Hyde, an
elder in the church Of the Latter Day
Saints at Utah, having been sent to the
Sandwich Islands ON a mission to convert
the people there, has renowned the Nor
mon faith, and is engaged in exposing its
fallacies. Polygamy comes in for share
in his denunciations, and it must be con-
fessed that it does not look rer' arkably well
as he paints it, although there is little doubt
that the picture is true to the life.
Among other charges, that Of classifying
the census of the territory is made. The
ex-elder says that there are not much over
half as many inhabitants in Utah as the
census returns would indicate. Names of
deceased persons, names of disciples who
never came there, and of those who have
long since gone away, have been retained,
to swell the aggregate to the required sew
enty thousand.
