Don't Go West, Young Man.

sible advice from the Dallas TEX
as) Herald as worthy of serious con
sideratlon, before leaying The fer
tile fields of East Tennessee:
To the young man with his hair
parted in the middle, who is about
to put his college education and
sole-leather trunk aboard the Tex
as bound train, We say stop! To
the clever artist and honest me
chanic, who thinks he will fly FROM
the hard times where he is, to i'm
aginary well paid employment in
the Lone Star State, we also say
stopi To the adventurous rustic
who wishes to leave the turnips of
some New York farm to find a soft
thing in this land of prairies, we
emphatically repeat-stay where
you are. We would be inhabiting
the earthly elysium that few Texas
papers say we do, but we don't.
From the bottom of our heart we
would be glad that there was plenty
and prosperity for every one who
seeks to settle among us, but all I'll e
same there isn't. We do possess
something of the approach of the
eternal summer and the marvellous
growth the east is so tired of hear
ing us brag about, but that isn't all.
Sooth to say, there is no chance
here for men without money, all the
eager, new arrivals to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
In plain English, the papers that
speak of the magnificent opportuni-
ties this State presents to the new
conner lies, and lies in very gratu-
itous, criminal way indeed. The
unvarnished truth is, that our labor
market is already stocked to over
flowing, and every fresh arriving
train but adds to the miserable
multitude in our midst that suffers,
starves, and finally fights its way
back east again.
Before the door of nearly every
house in this city there daily begs
a swarm that would sadden the
heart of satyr. Men of brain and
culture, good clerks, excellent ac-
countants, business men of undeni
able energy, mechanics of ability,
walk the streets in dumb despair,
aud finally take to the chain gang
and the work house. The writer
of this cannot remember one even
ing for many that he has not been
asked for money to buy a meal, or
bed, by men who would have soon
er died on the rack than to
have asked aims in the light of day.
And some of them to die on the
rack-the rack of continued disap
pointment and misery. Yet some
journals calmly sing the old siren
song, and still this over crowded,
over traded, and financially pros
trated community is held up with
fatal perslstency as the proper
Mecca of the American youth.
We beg the journals in the east
and north to copy this. We ask
that the Truth and the whole truth
be told there as a simple duty to
humanity. In the name of the dis
tress we see around us and are pow
erless to relieve, in the name of the
tramps and vagrants that fill our
cities and towns, we solemuly
warn intended emigrants of all
classes, except farmers and men
with money to invest, that we are
overstocked with labor, and will be
for the next four or five years.
Though his ticket be purchased
and bis trunk packed, we say to the
man looking hither for employment
go back.

I he Brandon Republican gives
the following preventive of hog
cholera: We have heard a great
many things recommended, both as
preventative and cure, yet the
hogs keep on dying. Our preven-
tive is soft soap, and we have had
no cholera since we commenced us
ing it. We give each hog an ear OF
corn dipped in soft soap about ev-
cry ten days. Ashes and salt put
in the slops we believe to be equal
ly good as a preventative. To cure
the cholera, drench with castor oil,
tuupentine and laudanum. Our old
friend, Willis B. Smith of North
Rankin, says he has cured them
with this remedy after they were so
far gone that they could not stand
on their feet.

TO ouAnrrr HAIL, OF nAnorLLA FALLS.

Sweet Marcellal lovehest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the labor
ing swain,
v here smiling Spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting Summers lingering blooms de
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats Of my youth, where every spot could
please;
How oft have l loitered DER thy green,
Where humblest happiness endeared each
scene,
How Oft have paused on every charm,
The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm,
The never failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that the neighboring hill,
The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the
shade,
For talking aye, and W INSPIRING lovers made,
How often have blest the coming day,
w men toll re remittiEg lent its turn TO play.
And all the village train from labor free,
Led up their sports beneath the spreading
tree
The young contending, as the old surveyed;
There many a gambsl frolicked over the
ground,
And sieighs Of art and feets of strength went
round,
And still, as each repeated pleasure tired,
Surrounding sports the mirthful band in
sPired.
Sweet Marcella, parent OF the ollssful hour,
Thy glades forlorn confers the tyrant's power,
Here as l take my solitary rounds,
Amid thy walks and beautiful grounds,
Many Year.,relapsed, return to view,
Where once the cottage stood, the hawthorn
grew,
Remem brance wakes with all her busy train,
Swells at my breast and turns the past to
pain.
In all my wanderings through this world of
care,
In all my griefs--and God has given my
share
l still had hopes, my latest hours to roam,
Amd those humble bowers to lay me down,
To husband out life's tapes at the close,
And keep the frame from wasting by repose;
still have hopes, for pride attends.th thee still,
Amid the swan to show thy bloodhound
skill.
Around thy freside evening group to draw,
And tell of all felt and all l saw;
still have hopes, my long vexations past,
There to return-and die at home ut last.

The Origin Of Mormonisnl.

The Courier-Journal thus expos
es Joseph Young's new revelation /:
1t is impossible to keep the Ohio
man out of everything. New evil
dence hasjust been discovered by the
Springfield Republican that Joseph
Smith, the Vermonter who founded
Mormonism, got his ideas from the
Rev. Solomon Spauding, of Palmyra,
Ohio. The Rev. Solomon-shame
on him having nothing better to
do, sat down and wrote, and wrote,
until he had made a romance, and,
when he had completed it, he called
1t "Manuscript Found" his conceit
being that he had found it in a
mound where it had been left by
some writer of one of the ancient ra-
ces of America. 1t was written after
the manner of the Bible, and the
Rev. Solomon had habit of read
ing it to groups of listening neigh
bors, among whom was Joseph
Smith. Joseph liked it so well that
LIE borrowed it for several weeks,
saying that he wished to read it to
his family. About the next thing
Joseph did was to proclaim that an
angel had revealed to him the ex-
istence of a buried history of abo-
riginal America, and from the
plates of the book he pretended to
have made the translation which be-
came known as the Book of Nor.
mon. The widow of Rev. Solomon
afterwards compared Joseph's book
with that of her husband, and
found that the two productions
were pretty much the same thing,
Joseph having stolen whatever o.
the parsons thunder be thought
necessary for the new religion.

Here is the latest statement of
some of Senator Conkling's views;
"He does not hesitate to declare
that Tilden was elected President.
AS he puts it, the votes as they
came out of the ballot-boxes
showed a majority for the Demo
cratic ticket. He thinks there may
have been intimidation in some
parts of the South, but not of sort
to vitiate the result. He thinks
Tilden's election was as fair as cleo
tions are apt to be, and he has no
defense to offer for the Louisiana
Returning Board. But after the
Governor of that State, acting on
the declaration of the board, had is
sued certificates to the Hayes cleo
tors, there was no help for it but
submit the question to Congress" :"

The following very curious and
very ancient publication, entitled by
popular tradition Mother Shipton's
Prophecy" was published three
hundred and thirty years ago:
Carriages without horses shall &c.
And accidents on the world with voc.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinsling Of an eye.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at tho root OF a tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse be at his side.
Under water mon shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air moa shall be seen,
In black, in white, In green.
Iron IN the water shall float,
As easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In a land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England ehall At last admit a foe.
The world TO an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

Mr.. Moody saws: 81 tell Won.

Mr.. Moody says: 81 tell you,
the world has got tired and sick of
shams.' That there is much sham
Christianity, there can be no doubt,
and that it stands greatly in the way
of saving sinners and building up
the church, no one viii deny. But
there is, also. more deep fervent
piety than the world sees, and more
than such vigorous men as Mr..
Moody are likely to give credit
for. In quiet places hidden from
the world, serenely doing their duty,
and in everything glorifying God,
there are devout men and women
living near the Saviour, radiating a
sweet influence all around them,
and preparing themselves for the
rest of heaven. The "workers"
are apt to feel that there are none
good but such as sing and shout in
public places, forgetting that the
prayers of an imprisoned saint may
be of more value than the abund-
ant labor of an evangelist United
