MORMON LOVE SoNG.-Say, Susan, wilt thou come with me, in sweet community to live ?- Of heart, and hand, and home, to thee six teenth part I'll freely give
 Of all the love that swells my breast-of all the honor of my name-of worldly wealth by me possessed sixteenth portion thou shalt claim.
 Nay tell me not too many share the bless ings that offer theel Thout find but fifteen others there-a household happy, gay and free
 A moderate household, I may say; my neigh Dor has as many more; and Brother Brigham. OCT the way, luxuriates in forty-four
 1 promise thee life of ease; and for myself, I'll let thee choose such duties as thy fancy please; say, Susan, canst thou still refuse
 Sophronia cooks and sweeps the floors, and Hepzibah makes up the beds; Jemima answers all the doors, and Prudence combs the chil- dren's heads.
 The household duties all devolve on each, according to her lot but from such labors I'll absolve my Susan, if she likes them not
 Into thy hands such tasks as take dignity will 1 consign I'll let thee black my boots, or make the shirt and sock department thine.
 I'll give thee whatsoe'er thou wilt-so it be but sixteenth part; twould be the deepest depth of guilt to slight the rest who share my heart
 Then wilt thou not thy fraction yield to make up my domestic bliss Say yes-and let our joy be sealed with just the sixteenth of kiss.

CHARAcTER-The difference of character is never more clearly aeen than in times when men are surrounded by difficulties and misfor- tunes There are some, who, when disappoint- ed by the failure of an undertaking from which they had expected great things make up their minds at once to exert themselves no longer against what they call fate, as thereby they could avenge themselves upon fate; others grow desponding and hopeless; but third class of men will rouse themselves just at such times, and say to themselves, "The more diff cult it is to attain my end the more honorable it will be; and this is maxim which every one should impress upon himself as law Some of those who are guided by it, prosecute their plans with obstinacy, and perish others who are more practicable men, if they have failed in one way, will try another.

Decimal Coina for Cana a.

A late number of "The Artisan" an Eng fish Magazine, says: 9#a
 During the whole of the month of Novem- ber the Royal Mint was occupied to it's fullest extent in the production of new coinage. on tlc decimal princi pie, for Canada It codsistS of 20 cent 10 cent, and , cent pieces of sil- ver and l cent pieces of bronze. The 20 cent piece is of the same size and weight as the franc of France and the 10 and cent pieces correspond with the half and quarter francs of the same country The bronze pieces too are identical in size and diameter with the 5 centme of the reign of Napoleon III. The obverSe of the 20 cent piece exhibits well engraved likeness of the Queen A laurel wreath decorates the head of her majesty, and the words, 'VICTORTA DET GRATIA, REGINA, CANADA, surrounds the whole The protecting edge is somewhat broader and better defined than that of the shilling and therefore the new coin has a better appearance, and will wear better The reverse of the 20 cent piece at first glance, resembles much the VICTORIA silver home coinage-on closer examination, however, a considerable difference. A wreath of maple leaves fills the place of that of lau- rel and oak, which the shiIlngs and siXpences have made to us so familiar. And this, besides being surmounted by crown, encloses the fig ureS ana WOfuS, ~ cents, ana lne uaJe, 1000.

 The bronze piece has richer hue than that ofthe British copper coin, and although not SC heavy as the haltDenny bears a value nearly coincident with it.

 MINERS LUcK.-The Gopher Claim" loca- ted in California, was first bought for $50, the company purchasing it for the lumber.

It is confidently asserted, that when they reach what is called bar gravel, it will be found very rich. Shares are now held at 5000 each.

AMERICAN FLAGS ON FRASER RIVERA let ter from Fraser river, published in the "Mari. posa Star" says:
 "The canoes of both whites and Indian carry the American flag at the stern of their respec- tive crafts Mr John Bull does not like it much-the sight of it, no doubt, awaksns un- pleasant "reminiscences
 "Governor Douglas was in store at Fort Yale, short time ago, when an Indian came in and purchased a flag The Governor en- quired of the trader, do you sell the American flag here? Sometimes we do,' observed the trader 'Englishmen never sell their flag re- marked the Governor-while smile passed over his benign (7-bs-9) countenance. There iS no demand for it here, retorted the trader, and the Governor dried up.'"

The Chevalier Webb labors hard to prove that
W. II. Seward does not mean anything in his
"irrepressible conflict" and that he is as inno-

interfere with slavery in the slave States. If
we may believe this explanation, then Mr..
Seward is political cheat, and candidate for

STAMPEDE OF SOUTHERN STUDENTS FROM THE

account of which we published yesterday by
telegraph, and fuller report to.day-have re-
solved on removing from the New York Col
lege, and completing their education at the
South.
Soinfectious is disunion, and to such extremi-
ties are the disciples of William II. Seward driv-
ing the young men of the South, and, indeed, its
Oldest and wisest statesmen, as we have recent
ly seen from the messages of the Governors,
the proceedings of Legislatures, the meetings Of
the people, and the tone Of the journals. The
present movement in New York and Philadel-
phia is ominous and dangerously suggestive !;
and no doubt it will be initiated in other col
leges and schools at the North.
This Is the first step, because it is the most
easily taken. The second step will be
to send the Northern teachers back from
the seminaries Of the South; and thus the line
OF demarkation in education between the
North and the South will soon be COM
plete. The next step will be a complete
withdrawal of the Southern trade from
the North. Already that movement has par
tally commenced, and our merchants begin
to feel 1t severely; but it will soon be-
come general, If the Impending crisis" is not
met with vigor and firmness, and by those prac-
teal measures which can alone satisfy the South
Of the good will of the conservatives of the
North, and Of their ability to defend the institu-
tons Of the South from Northern aggression.
This may be accomplished by Union meetings
with definite object-the nomination of the
right man to the Presidency, after the example
Of New York. This is the only way in which
the danger can be averted or the progress of
aisunion arrested. 1t is by revolution at the
ballot box, and by that alone, that the country
can be saved.

A CLAIMANT FOR A PORTION OF THE JOHN
BROWN FUND.-The story of the Pottawottamie
massacre in Kansas which was committed by a
party Of ruffians under the leadership of old
John Brown, has been so often told by the
Chicago Tribune, by the Kansas Herald of
Freedom, and in the report of the Kansas
Congressional Investigating Committee, of
which John Sherman, the republican can
didate for Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives was chairman, that it must be
familiar to every mind which is not totally
blinded by the most wicked description of IA
naticism. Three of the sufferers in that massa-
ere were James P. Doyle and his two sons,
William Doyle and Drury Doyle. The Doyle
family consisted of the three above named,
together with the wife and mother, younger
brother named John, and two or three smaller
children. When the report of the murders
reached Chattanooga, Tennessee, from whence
the Doyle family had emigrated the citizens
contributed a sum sufficient to bring the remain
ing members Of the family back to that place,
and there they have resided to the present time.
Mrs. Mahala Doyle, the widow, is now repre-
scented as being in circumstances of great desti-
tuition She has her children with her, and her
only resource for their support is in the scanty
wages of her son John, whose life she begged at
the hands of the murderers-a boy now about
nineteen years Of age-who is employed as the
driver Of q cart for commission house in
Chattanooga We claim that the widow Doyle
IS justly entitled to, and should receive, por-
ton OF the fund now raising for the widow
Brown.

Mr. O'CoNoR's GREAT PoINT ON THE SLAVERY
QUEsTroN-Mr. O'Conors bold and decided
position on the subject of African slavery
to wit, that this institution "is just, wise and
bene6cent;" that ut is benign in its influences,
both on the white man and the black" that
ut is ordained by nature, and is necessity of
both races"-has taken our black republican
contemporaries all aback The philosophers Of
the Tribune, however, seize the occasion for
crowding Mr.. Jefferson Brick again into "the
elbows of the Mincio" Mr. Brick, on his part,
is brought to a dead halt, and is evidently dis
posed to give up the Office of Jack-o' lantern to
Tammany Hall, for fear that Tammany may be
compelled to follow in the wake of Mr.. O'Co-
nor And why not? Upon what other defence
can slavery, or the South, or the democracy,
or Tammany stand than that slavery as it exists
in the South, is right and good in itself? Admit it
to be an evil, and we must admit that all efforts
to abolish it are founded upon justice and truth
The only available defence of slavery is that
put in by Mr.. O'Conor. This is new idea in
the North; it is not an old idea in the South;
but it is the only idea upon which slavery can
stand. Upon this idea, however, it can stand;
and in the bold position taken by Mr.. O'Conor
we detect the Inauguration of new epoch in
the discussion of slavery, Of the deepest interest
and the greatest results. Who speaks next for
the Northern national democracy?
