THE ORIGIN OF GOLD.

[A.D. RICHARDSON, the we'll known correspond

lady of that Mormon land, Miss SARAH 4. CARMI-

We have seen j

" can guess" he muttered, "why God is feared;
For tie eyes Of mortals are fan to shun

will stand on the hight of the hills and wait
Where the day goes out at the western gate,
And reaching up to its crown viii tear
From its plumes of glory the brightest there
With the stolen ray | will light the sod,
And turn the eyes Of the world from God"
lie stood ON the hight when the sun went down,
He tore one plume from tho days bright crown;
The proud beam stopped till he touched its brow,
And the print of his finger is on it now;
And the blush Of its anger tOrcveIlnore
Burns red when it passes the western door.
The broken feather above him whirled,
In flames OF torture around him curled,
And he dashed it down on the snowy hight
In broken flashes of quivering light;
All, more than terrible was the shock
Where the burning splintcrs struck wave and rock
The green earth shuddercd, and shrank and Ialed
The wave sprang up and the mountain quaiedi
Look on the hills, let tho scars they bear
Measure the pain Of that hours despair.
The Fallen watched while the whirlwind faEn'd
The pulsing splinters that plowed the sand
Sullen he watched while the kissing waves
Bore them away to the ocean caves
| Sullen he watched while the shining rllls
Throbbed through the hearts of the rocky hills
Loudly he laughed, "Is the world not mine
Proudly the links Of its chain shall shine,
Lighted with gems shall its dungeon be,
But the pride Of its beauty shall kneel TO me-"
That splintered light in the earth grew cold,
And the diction of mortals hath called it--GoLD! I!

on the Grand Island shore. Lights began
to move hom house to house. The neigh
hors were running together, Presently the
gleam of lantern moved upon the river,

Mr.. Thompson, when reached, had to be-
rolled into the boat like log, He was
taken off by Mr.. Charles Poplar and Mr..
George Gillie. Another boat, manned by
MIR. William w. Hackney and Mr.. John
A. Bacon, rescued the boy Bartlett. ThS
boy, being thinly clad, had nearly porished

Of large, robust frame and great vitality,

and Mr. Thompson, whom we saw yesteri

ordinary experience. Both received the
kindest attentions from tho good people Of
the island who rescued them, and from alt
their ncighbors. Mr.. Thompson returned
home the following day to a family who
fortunately had had no auxieties about
him, as 1t has been his frequent custom to
remain on the other side, or start thence
