pair Of horses and ph@ton, stating that he
would return on the following Sunday evening.
This he failed to do, when Mr.. Porter made

that Brown had stopped at Chester, where he
left the pheion, badly broken, at the stables OF
Howard Roberts, and hired another in it's stead,
with which he proceeded to Philadephia, from
whence he crossed the Delaware on ferry boat.
and drove to Newark, N. j. At this town Mr.
Porters son found the horses on Tuesday, and
Immediately telegraphed home the result OF ms

It has been proposed, at Salt Lake City, to call

the expedency Of the measure. Those who IA
vor it say it would give the Mormons chance
to correct their errors. Those who oppose it
think that only compulsion can bring about the

Itsis your secret andimine,.. love! =
AhImel how the.dreary rain,
With slow persistence, all day long,
Dipped on the window pane,
The chamber was weird with shadows,
And dark with the deepening gloom,
Where,you .in.your royal womanhood
Lay waiting for the tomb.
They had ROBBED you.all in white, love, q
In your hair was a single rose;
\ marble rose it might well have been,
In its cold and still repose!
0, paler than yonder. carven.saint,
And calm as the angels are,
You seemed so near me, my beloved,
Yet were, alas, 50 far!
do not know if wept, love,
But my soul rose'up and said:
MY heart shall speak unto her heart,
Though here. she is lying-dead!
I will give her a last love-token
That shall be 10 her a sign
In the dark grave or beyond it,
OF this deathless love Of mine.
So l sought me little scroll, love
And thereon in eager haste,
Lest another 5 eye should read them,
Some mystic words traced.
Then close in your clasped fingers,
Close in your waxen hand,
! placed the scroll as an amulet,
Sure you would understand!
The secret is yours and mine, love!
only we two may know
What words shone clear in the darkness
or your grave so green and low.
But if, when we meet hereafter,
In tho dawn Of n fairer. day,
You whisper those mystical words, love
II is all would have you sayl
