indulging in it are shown, as we'll as its
evil tendency in relation to the church

P0lygamy to be Protected.

When the Locos promul gated their
doctrine of squatter sovereignty in 1851,
it was objected by the opponeuts Of the
measure, that, if the doctrine prevailed, it
would compel the general government to
tolerate polygamy in Utah. This was
most Indignantly denied, bu. the four
short years have shown that the predic-
tion of the opposition has been verified.
Mr.. BUCHANAN, in his late proclamation
to the Mormons, uses the following Ian
guage:
ado not deceive yourselves, nor try to
mislead others, by propagating the idea
that this is crusade against your rei;y
ion. The constitution and laws of this
country can take no notice of your creed,
whether it be true or false. That is a
question between your G cd and yourselves,
in which disclaim all right to Interfere.
II you obey the lars, keep the peace, and
respect the just right of others, you will
be perfectly secure, and may iire on IN
your present faith, or change it for auoth-
er at your pleasure. Every intelligent
man among you knows very well that
this government has never, directly or
indirectly, sought to molest you in your
worship, to control you in your ecclesias-
tical affairs, or even to influence you in
your religious opinions"
As Polygamy is part Of the Mormon
religion, this is equivalent to saying that
it is not only to be tolerated, but protec-
ted, by the national government. Thus
"Polygamy and Slavery, those twin relics
of barbarism," are to be hugged to the
bosom of Democracy, and be made part
of the party platform Jersey .SsoIs le

Sketch of Luther by Carlyle.

A coarse, rugged, plobeian face it was,
with great crags of cheek boncs-a wild
amount Of passionate energy and appetite
But in his dark eyes we're floods of fsorrow;
and deepest melancholy, sweetness, and
mystery, were all there. Often did there
seem to meet in Luther the very opposite
poles in mans character. He, for exam.
pie, for whom Richter had said that his
words were half battles, he, when he first
began to preach, suffered unheard agony.
"Oh, Dr. Staupits, DR.. Staupits," said he
to the vicar general of his order, 81 can
- a., -.--.. -..~O nvntn,. L
indeed can not do it." Dr. Staupits, a
wise and considerate man, said upon this,
"Wcll, Sir, Martin, if you must die, you
must; but remember that they need good
heads up yonder too. So preach, man,
preach, and then live or die as i. happens.
So Luther preached and lived, and he be-
came, indeed, one great whirlwind of en-
ergy, to work without resting in this world,
and, also before he died he wrote very
many books-books in which the true
man-for in the midst of all they denoun-
ced and cursed, what touches of tender.
ness lay. Look at the Table Talk for ex.

The Whole Story.

A young man, named JAMES POWERS,
was hanged at Washington, on the Goth
ult., for murder. just before mounting
the scaffold, he bade his brother farewell,
and said, Remember what l told you
let the liquor alone" The same counsel
has gone forth from thousand scaifolds
in this country, and its echoes are heard
in many prison cell. We waste breath
and ink in speculations upon the causes Of
crime, and its extraordinary increase of
late years. But these confessions Of the
criminal tell the whole truth of the matter.
1t is RUM that makes demons out Of men
of originally good impulses it is RUM
that is filling our prisons, feeding the
gallows, and diminishing the security of
life and property. Under its accursed
influences, men who when sober would die
rather than commit a dishonest action,
scruple not to perpetrate forgery, robbery
and murder. Not many years have elapsed
since a man of fine intellect and generous
heart was sent to cell in Moyamensiug
upon a charge Of forgery. Not one who
knew him intimately believed that he was
capable of such crime. The evidence
adduced against him, proved that he had
acted in a wild, crazy manner, while con-
summating the deed. The fact was, that
intemperance, protracted for months, had
perverted his impulses, and deranged his
mind. Itw madness, bat there was
no "method' in it. Rum has had the
same effect upon hundreds of others of
less note. Of all plans for the prevention
of crime, we are strongly persuaded that
there is none of equal efficacy with the
simple advice of young Powers" LET

BEYOND THE RIVER.


There is a river, deep and wide:
And while along lis banks w stray,
We see our loved ones Ger lis tide
sail from lis sight away-away.
Where are they Spci-they who return
No more 10 glad oar longing eyes
They've passed from lifc'S contracted bourne
TO land unseen. unknown, that lies
Beyond the river.
IT'S hid from view; but We may guess
How beautiful that land must be,
For gleamngS Of its loycllHesS,
In visions granted oft we see.
The very clouds that Ger 1t throw
Their veil unraiScd for mortal sight,
WiIh gold and purple tintings glow,
Reflected from the glorious Light
Beyond the river.
And gentle airs, So sweet, 50 calm,
Steal sometimes from that viewleSs sphere;
The mourner feels their breath Of balm,
And Sooihed sorrow dries the tear.
And sometimes listening ear NAV gain
Enhancing sound that hilher floats,
The echo of distant strain,
OF harpS' and voices blended notes,
Beyond the river.
There arc our loved ones in their rest;
They've crossed Times river; now no more
They heed the bubbles on its breast.
Nor feel the storms that sweep its shore.
But THERE pure love can live, can last
They look for Us their home TO share;
When we IN turn away have passed,
What joyful greetings wait us THERE,
Beyond the river.

Decay in Fruit Trees.

We have often heard the practice rec
commended of driving nails into decaying
fruit trees, to restore their visor. But
VIC have never seen the result set forth so
strikingly as in the following from the
Southern Planter.
A singular fact, and one worthy Of be-
ing recorded, was mentioned to US a few
days since by Alexander Duke, Of Alber-
marie. He stated, that whilst at neigh
boris, his attention was called to a peach
orchard, every tree in which had been to-
tally destroyed by the ravages Of the
worm, with the exception of three, and
these were the most thrifty and flourish
ing peach trees be ever saw. The only
cause Of their superiority known to his
host, was an experiment made in conse-
quenee Of observing that those parts Of
worm eaten timber into which nails were
driven, were generally sound. When his
trees we're about year old, he had selcc-
ted three Of them, and driven tenpenny
nail through the body, as near the ground
as possible. Whilst the balance of his
orchard had gradually failed and finally
yielded entirely to the ravages of the
worms, these three, selected at random,
treated precisely ir the same manner,
with the exception Of the mailing, had al
ways been vigorous and healthy, furnish
ing him with the greatest profusion of the
most luscious fruit 1t is supposed that
the salt of iron afforded by the nail is Of
fensive to the worm, whilst it is harmless,
or perhaps even beneficial to the tree.
A chemical writer upon this subject
says: "The oxydation or rusting of the
iron by the sap, evolves ammonia, which,
as the sap rises, will Of course ippregnate
every part of the foliage, and provo too
severe dose for the delicate palate Of in
truding insects" This writer recon-
mends driving half dozen nails into the
trunk. Several experiments Of this kind
have resulted successfully.

Always Propagate from the Best.

This is the true policy. The best seeds,
plants, ond animals, should always be
sought for planting and breeding. Though
the frs. cause may be greater, it is far
more profitable to cultivate the best vegc-
tables, grains, fruits, &c, than the ordi-
nary kinds. The marketable value of
the product, if well cultivated and pre-
served, is always more renumerative than
"poor trash" badly grown By careless
cultivators. And the same is true in re-
gard to domestic animals The true
course is to breed from the best, whatever
may be the expense in the beginning for
it costs little more to raise to any given
age a good animal than it does an inferior
one-while the former may be ten times
as profitable as the latter. The wide
awake, experienced farmer, knows that it
is nearly as easy and cheap to produce an
animal worth one hundred dollars, rs it is
to raise one that will sell for only or less
than half the amount, and moreover that
in so doing his dividends are not only
handsome, but laudable pride is graft.
fed and his pleasure measurably enhauc-
ed. Indeed, the best breeds of animals,
the best grains and seeds, the best iuple-
ments and modes of culture-all these are
essential to successful profitable Agricul-
ture. Think of those oft repeated tru-
isms, reader, in making your selections of
seeds, plants, fruits, and stock animals.
and consider, before deciding, whether is
is not wise to always propagate from the
best.-Rndl " Yorker

TREES ON FARMS.

first settled, were originally covered with
dense and noble forests-and even in
comparatively new parts, such was the
case. But these forests had to be laid
low by the woodman's axe, and consumed
in fires, to fit for the plow and tho seed.
The very super.abundance of timber rem
dered it Of no value, but for building
houses, fences, and fuel. To clear the
farm of timber was the great object of the
pioneer farmer, and trees were regarded
by HIM as an incumbrancc. Doro,o such
a spirit, great forests have disappeared
without thought having been exercised
as to the natural uses Of trees in the econ.
omy Of nature.
Trees, like mountain ranges, attract
clouds and promote rains, without which
the most fertile lands become barren
wastes. There are some parts of our
country, especially western New York,
that are now often visited with long sum-
mer droughts, on which, fifty years ago,
showers and refreshing rains we're more
frequent and regular as consequence,
the soil does not now yield SO abuudantly.
Some streams tina. once rolled along in
full swelling currents, driving busy mills
throughout the entire year, are now al
most dry, water-worn courses, during a
number Of months at least the mills on
their banks having fallen to decay, or
steam applied as propellins power.
This has been caused by the destruction
Of the forests. They acted the part Of
reservoirs, (by preventing evaporation)
to the streams. and as conductors to the
rain clouds. In some parts of Asia and
Africa, the ruins of large ancients cities
are found covered with the sands of the
desert; around them there once bloomed
fruitful fields.
To those farmers who reside in districts
and on farms where the timber has almost
been annihiated, now is the season to
put in practice useful lesson, viz to
plant beltings of beautiful and useful
trees around their farms. Trees cqualize
the temperature of climates, by attracting
clouds in hot weather, to cool the atmos-
phere with showers; and they shelter
houses and crops from high and cold dry
winds. And this advice is not only Use.
full for those residing in regions denuded
our farmers residing on broad rich prai-
ries of our Western States.
Trees are not only useful as agents of
refreshing rains, but they promote health,
and beautify the landscape. 1t is set
tied question, We believe, that they absorb
miasma from the atmosphere; and GER
tainly treeless landscape is as dull as a
tenantlcss house. Many Of our farmers
have an eye to the beautiful in the selec.
ton of trees for the grounds around their
houses, but few of them seem to have
paid proper attention to the laying out Of
their farms. In directing their minds to
the subject at the present time, We hope
that considerable good will be the result.
We do not mean to suggest what kind of
trees they should be varied to the local.
ity, soil, and climate, but we advise them
not to fail in planting some kind.-Sci.
