perhaps owing to the hard times the business

: The NAVIGATION OF THE RED RIVER
ENCOURAGING PRosPEcTs.-We stated last
fall, while Sir George Simpson was here, that
the Hudson Bay Company intended making
st. Paul a point in their route to their posts,
for the transportation of Goods, and the ex
port Of Furs. 1t was very easy to perceive,
that if this was inaugurated, an increasing
trade in the way of transportation would fol-
low the same route,-and trade that will be
of inestimable Importance to our city and
State. & - .
The wisdom of the policy Of our Board OF
Trade, aided by the citizens in placing a
steamer on the Red River at this juncture, is
evident. 1t comes in the snick of time; - {.
and the steamer will commence its trips by
having a lucrative business at once. .
We find the following letter in the Pioneer
Of yesterday. 1t was written by a prominent
member Of the Hudson Bay Company to
Messrs Burbank G Co of the N. W. Express
Company: ~...
81 beg to inform you that we are now pre-
pairing to forward supplies to the Red River
settlement ola Saint Paul this coming season,
and that we shall call on your good offices
again to attend to their reception and trans
mission. There will be about 100 tons of
goods from England, and probably about 80
of tobacco, sugar, &C., from New York. The
English goods will be sent uia Canadian line
of Steamers and Grand Trunk Railway, in
three consignments of about go tons each;
the first to be dispatched from Liverpool about
the end of April, (should reach St. Paul early
in June0 the second about the middle and
the third about the end of May. The goods
from New York will be dispatched at the
opening Of navigation. go .'.' tT-.
We propose to employ about 100 OK carts
Of our own in the transport from Saint Paul,
equal to say 40 tons $500 pieces of 100 lbs
each) each trip, to make three trips if they
have to 60 all the way to Fort Garry. hope,
however, water conveyance may be arranged
from say Breckenridge downwards, in which
case presume the carts could perform at
least double the number Of trips" a.-s"
Goods designed for the above route have
actually been received in this City. This
leaves no doubt that the transportation of
goods cia st. Paul, and steamboat on Red
River, will soon become large and profitable
business. - 81.

There is something richly suggestive IN
that fashion of Hanael's: arraying him.
self in holiday attire when he sat down
to tho composition of those works, tor
which thousand years would be too
brief an Immortality.
As he was appareled to appear before
kings and princes, SO came be INTO inc
presence of those thoughts of beauty, that
floated 10 his ear from group of singing
angels; and there is something emhentiy
bcfiitting in the deed.
1t is like the instructive uncovering OF
the head in the presence of Jura; it is like
the Spanard's kaeeling at the SIGHT OF
the sea.
We feel strange sympathy with the
grandeur of great thought, and the
beauty of en- exquisite sentiment, and
q mysterious instinct to be like them.
The poor little girl in filthy rags that
was led in, where Powers statue of the
Greek Slave stood up, clothed in inno-
cence as with garment, illustrates the
doctrine. The follorn young creature
looked upon the loveliness that had come
forth from Parian tombs; her fair brow
her pure whit. Ii nbs, and unstained hands;
then stole a glance at her own brown fin
rers and dirty feet.
Her unftness to he there was evident;
it was not the silks that rustled and sbone
around her, that compelled the thought;
it was the unmantled purity that stood in
its meekness before her.
And so the little girl crept away, and
when she returned, her hands had grown
as fair as loving sun would let them,
and her feet twinkled white rs she came,
fresh from the baptism of pure water
She had smoothed her tangled hair, and
made herselfas beautiful rs she could,
and SO worthier to look upon her death
less sister.
And tho memory accompanied her
like guardian angel, when she went
away, and she'swept clean place for it in
her heart, and she will keep it there for
ever.

ono TRUST.I

B.F. TAYLOR, thus closes IN aiticle IN
"No Trust" =
''But not to linger in thu purlicus of
trade, mo trust is all very well in the
shop of the mechanic and the store of the
merchant, but many q man is not conten-
ted with making it conspicuous in his
place of business, but he puts up no
trust in small letters over tie door of his
heart, and mo trust like sign with 1t
light behind it, is set in his eyes, and his
intonations have doubt in them, and he
fancies he is at human natures farthcst
remove from greenland he is, for u
broken cistern in Arabia the Rocky,
couldn't DO drier than be, in sympathy
and soul.
The mo trust with which he began,
has been deepened and shaded into dis
trust; he makes shipwreck of bis faith i'll
men, and so becomes an infdel.
The loss of faith is more to be deplored
than wreck of fortune, and we number
and deprecate it among the tendencies Of
the times.
Should nature take these mo trust peo-
pie at their word-thc people we mean,
who label their hearts ike package from
the green groeer's-they would be bank
rupt in a day. Nature herself demands
the fullest faith of all who seek her gifts.
No trust is never written upon her door
posts. 1t is all trust when the seed is
sown, that she will surrender it again; oil
trust, when tho blade is green that har-
vest will not fail; all trust, that the sweet
influences of the Pleides will still be shed,
and the singing Dir Is return.
1t is when faith is gone, that men be-
come granite and women porcelain. The
chief charm of a frontier life is the close
surroundings of q fresh nature, damp, like
a newly printed sheet with the unbruslod
dews; in the sympathy that men feel with
that unsoied Wilderness; in the faith they
have in themselves, in the trust they re-
pose in their fellows; in the free frank ut.
torance, the hearty hospitality, the rude
and rugged friendships.

No Mormon has ever cteI to me his

subject; no Mormon woman has been in

sirirg me to make her Tor thelr) acquain-
tance, or voluntarily indicated the existence
of such being or beings. l will not at
tempt to report our talk on this subject,
because, unlike what have above given,
it assumed somewhat the character of
disputaton, and l could hardly give it
impartialy; but one remark made by
President Young think | can give accu-
rately, and it may serve as sample Of all
that was offered Oh that side. 1t was in
these words, I think, exactly. eff | did
rot consider myself competent to transact

alone"
The spirit with regard to woman, of the
ertire Mormon, as of all other polyganic
systems, is fairly displayed in this avowal.
Let any such system become established
and prevalent, woman will soon be confiu
ed to the harom, and her appearance in
the street with unveiled face will be ac-
counted inmodest. Ijoyfully trust that
the genius Of the Nineteenth Century
tends to solution ofthc problem of Wo-
mans sphere and destiny radically differ

TuE SIMS OF

Among the popular writers OF the day,
we know OF no one, who evinccs q more
genial spirit, and . more earnest desire to
do good, than does DR.. HOLLAND, of the
Springfield Mass Republican. Our own
estimate of him is shown by the liberal
selections from his letters, which we clip
for the Journal.
His last letter IS on the sins of imagi-
nation-the prevalent habit of thinking
out what we dare not act out.-inlufging
the fancy in those Legitimate fields-that
vague borler region supposed to lie be-
tween j, nocence and guilt, where moral
sense becomes involved and moral purity
COMPROMISED. Tie whole letter is earnest
and eloquent. but we give but two para
graphs.
"This world of sense, built by the i'm
agination-how fair and foul it is! Like
fairy island in the sea Of life, it smiles
in sunlight and sleeps in green, known OF
the world not by communion of knowl-
edge, but by personal, secret discovery
The waves Of every ocean kiss its feet
The airs of every cline play among its
trees, and tire with the voluptuous music
which they bear. Flowers bend idly to
the fall of fountains, and beautiful forms
are wreathing their white arms, and call
ing for companionship. Out toward this
charmed island, by day and by night, a
million shallops push unseen of each 9TH
err. and of tie world of real life left behind
for reyelry snl reward! Tie single sal
lors never meet each other; they tread the
same paths unknown of each other; they
come back, and no one knows, and no one
asks where they have been. Again and
again is the visit repeated, with no abso-
lutely vicious intention, yet not without
the faint of vice. If Gods light could
shine upon this crowded sea, and discover
the secrets of the island which it invests,
what shameful retreats and encounters
should we witness fathers, mothers, mai
dens, men-chldren even, whom we had
deemed as pure as snow--fying with
llty eyes and white lips to hide them
selves from great disgrace!
There is vice enough in the world ofac-
tual life, and it is there that we look for
it; but there is more in that other world
eff imagination that we do not see-vice
that poisons, vice that kills,vic that makes
whited sepulchres of temples that are
deemed pure, even by multitudes of their
tenants. Let none esteem themselves
blameless or pure who willingly and glad
" seek in this world Of imagination for
excitemcnts. That remarkable poem of
Margaret Fuller, which ascribes an indeli-
BILE faint to the maiden who only dreams
Of her lover an unmaidenly dream, has a
fearful but entirely legitimate significance.
It is forbidden realm, where pure feet
never wander; and al who would remain
pure must forever avoid it. Ii is the haunt
of devils and damned spirits. Its foul air
poisons manhood and shrivels woman
hood. even if it never be left behind in
an advance to the overt sin which lies be-
yond it."
