The Twilight Wedding.


Gaily roaming in the cleaning,
Where falls the sunset hours, at
Mid the glooning, fiIl'd with blooming,
Breath offragrant lowers
Amber-hsarted--fery- -dartod,
Golden-paved the west,
See angels wait at glowing gate,
As day lies down to rest.
A silver star CLEANS from afar,
Sweet Hesper's wedding torch,
A light for bride who upwards glide.
To blissful chamber porch;
Twilight hours hide nuptial bowers,
When night and day are wed,
With mystic vail wove in the gale,
That comes from sunsets bed.
With gentle swell, the prairies tell,
In softly WHISPERED song,
OF kisses sweet--the breezes feet,
Allswiftly bear along
From burning day where silverray,
Tells of queenly maiden,
Whose modest face in blooming grace
With all love is laden.
Cloud d-curtain'd night, a.blaze with light.
Chanting the marriage hymn,
With starry choir. and spirit Tyre,
Fills the universe dim
With harmony grind, from angel band
AS welcome twilight hours,
Brings bridal bright, of dayand night,
Mid the sunset bowers.

GREAT MENT /


DRIGHAM YOUNG has about attained
I'D The acme Of his ambition. Feeling
that there was one'name to descend to pos.
terity which would ba venerated with more
holy reverence than his own--that Of "Joe
Smith "--he saw that it was incumbent
upon him. in order to have the memo,J Of
himself forever perpetuated. among the
"Saints" as the great Head and AM of the
ignoble Mormon institution, 10 kick up an
excitement and occasion n conflict with
Uncle Sam, for the purpose of having the
impression 90 abroad to the world that they
were an uhjustly oppressed people, and
thereby make him, as their present great
prophet, another aye great martyr" Of a
magnitude superior to their now worship.
ped one Well, he has succeeded. and soon
$4,000 U, S. troops will be marching to

tious Brigham in accomplishing his
schemes. In Prairie City a tremendous ex.
citemept has lately been raised, occasioned

A Warning

JUNIus, the generally well-informed
Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune, in letter on the 10th
inst, speaks thus OF the coming cleo
tion hore. 1t would be well for us to
ponder upon the remarks made there,
and taking into consideration our
past history, ask ourselves if there is
not something criminal in the apathy
which seems to brood ovor us like the
heavy summer calm resting on trop-
ical ocean, A storm may be soon
upon lis. 1t bchooyes us to be watch
full and yiSilant
~ am almost tired Of warning our
Free State friends in Kanzas and
throughout the North that the ap.
tolching election in the Territory is
70 10 The very Thermopyl@ of Liber'
IS. lci3 to,6e no holiday affair, no
joast between honorable and high
miDded ndyorsayes, LAT the culmin-
alton oCNordef RuGap violence, fraud
and ouu2ge---that follows from the
very circumstances OF the struggle
and the express terms OF the law.---
There has not been day since the
3Oth Of May, 1854, when the Pro Sla-
very party was more intent upon Sc
curing KanzaS than it is now There
has been no time when greater sOcri-
fees and labors were demanded for
the Free State cause.
"The apparent moderation Of Den
yer cannot be relied upon. He has
had, up to this period, no motive for
m extreme course, nor, indeed, has
he had the power. But the execution
Of the act is reserved for the recess Of
Congress, Its restraining influence
has been felt since the removal Of
Walker and Stanton. In few weeks
the innate tyranny and viciouSncSs of
the Administration will rage without
n check. Again aud again our friends
should be warned TO meet violence
with force, and to meet cheating with
prompt aud severe punishment
There is no use of a vast numerical
majority, il it cannot defend itself,
either at the polls, in the courts, or
in the field, against II contemptiblc
local faction and its foreign allies.
at is evident that tho approach
ing contest in Kanzas is to be the
most exciting, as also the most mo.
mentous; which has evor ttken place
under this Government. Both see
tions and all parties Of the Union, as
represented in Congress, have at last
consented to refer to tho people OF
Kauzas the question which has dis
tracled the whole country for nearly
halfa century. Though decided by
other and competent authority in fa-
vor Of the North more than gencr-
alton ago, yeti she will be content with
any result, provided the election be
fair-providcd it express the VIII Of
the people.
:" say now, for one, that / have
no idea whatever that twill bo fair
| anticipate the re.enactment Of those
scenes Of popular violence and Off
eial iniamy which have in times past
made Kanzas election word OF
ecorn and reproarh."
