SNOW FLAKES.
BY LoNGFELLow.
Out of the bosom Of the air,
Out Of the cloud folds of her bosom shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest fields forsaken,
Silent and soft and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fancies take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression,
Even az the troubled heart doth make
LII the white couutenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief it feels.
This is thepoem Of the air,
Slowly in silent syiIables recorded;
This is the secret of despair,
Long in its cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To woodland field

BRlqHAM PREAcHEs.-At the late general

BRlGHAM PREAcHEs.-At the late general
conference of the Saints at Salt Lake City,
on the 7th, Brigham Young gave long talk
The vedette furnishes the leading features of
his ''sermon." After glorifying Mormonism
and predicting that they would yet rule over
the whole world, he dropped to reference
to things local.
He was furious against drinking shops and gam
bling, and described the patrons of the hell
holes" as "bummers, regeneratOrs or renovatorsiA
and said they consisted OF two classes: One who
had nothing and did not know how they got it, =
"the other had something, but nobody knew how
got it." He said he was determined that there
should be no more gambling or whiskey selling,
and added that Judges who granted injunctions
in opposition to the City Council could leave as
soon as they pleased, and the sooner the better.
He then launched his invectives on those who he
said had squatted on his and other persons land
in the vicinity of this city. He denounced them
in unmeasured terms, and bid them go on outside
lands not previously taken up. Go TO Stockton,
he said where they can gamble and drink whis-
key as much Ms they please. If they undertook
to SQUAT on any of his meadows, pastures, or any
other land, he ''would give them pre-emption
claim that would last until the day of resurrec-
tionn
He said that class of persons in this community
were confined to few, very few, for he admit
ted that there were gentlemen in this community
though not members of his Church. He advised
the bummers to make themselves scarce while the
opportunity offered.
The speaker then alluded to the recent meeting
at Fox-s Gardens and denounced the statements
of Alexander Smith as false in every particular
said Emma, the widow of Joseph Smith, was the
d. st liar on earth, and she had brought up her
three sons in the same belief" He went into a
lauO history IF the carly times of the Mormon
Church to prove that she had lied on several occa
sions, and also denied the charge that she had
made, that he TBrighaml was implicated in the
murder of Joseph Smith, and asserted the belief
that she was accessory to his death, for she had
twice attempted previously to poison her husband.

A HARD Nut TO CRAoK.-The following is
from the Springfield Republican:
1t may seem cruel, but we cannot help re-
minding our Radical friends, who are now so
earnestly maintaining the legitimacy of Gen.
Banks Reconstruction Convention in Loui-
siana, it is the very same Convention which
Senator Sumner pronounced "nothingsbut a
stupendous hoax, mere seven months abor-
tion, begotteu by the bayonets in criminal
conjunction with the spirit of caste, and born
before its time--rickety, uniformed, unfnish-
ed" On this ground the Radicals united
with the Democrats TO exclude the Senators
and Representatives of Louisiana from Con-
eress. They have now discovered that Gen.
Banks Convention was not only Legitimate
in 1864, but that it is still living body, with
vitality enough to hold on as long as it has a
mind to.
