How on its victim oraves the boon of doath, When death or torrow yoarn to yield tho breath; Ask not the fitful flame. Ask for a oruken heart ; A grief for all the ills thy hand bath dono ; A pang for wastod life, for useless breath ; A hope that triumphs o'or tho fear of death, Ask, and the goal is won. Ask for a quiet mind A heart at rest from all the jars of strife ; A humble heart, that never soars to fall ; A heart tobioss the Hand that gives it all, That priceless gift of lifo.

OK, "IT 15 BETTER TO GIVE CEIVE." TUAX TO RE- " And strip voursolf of every comfort, for tlio sako of adding to the rich merchant's gains 1" , The widow renlied with flushed check : " It may soom a light thing to you, but the thought that I am slowly and surely wiping every stiin from my husband's honor, is my greatest earthly comfort. Mr. Minor is his last creditor, and, God willing, every cont shall be paid." , Her coarser relative responded with an env ntiatin "fiddlestick!" and angrily left her nmoence. " At last I have it," said a silver voico and a sweet face, glad and brilliant, brightoncd up the gloom. "Only sec, mother! ten dollars, all my own : ten more makes twenty : so wo shall have a nice littlo sum for Mr. Miner." Tears tromblcd on the widow's lashes, and glittered on her palo check. " It is to bo tho Drico of thy lib. my precious one ! " she thnnplit. " Is the canker worm at the heart of my beautiful flowor ? Must I give thee up to weary toil, a sacrifice upon the altar of tfu tv ? Can it bo that God requires it ? Eva knelt at her mother's feet, whero slio had fallen with all tho abandon of a child, her glance fastened to tho shining gold. Lifting her glance, sho mot that of her mother, full of anxioty, touched with sorrow. A sudden smilo broke over her dclicato features." I was only thinking of the endless things this money would buy don't look so grave, mamma ; such a beauty of a warm shawl for you, and a neat crimsoo cover for that untidy old arm chair ; a bit ever so little ot carpot, to put down by tho bed ; that your feet may not feel this cold floor ; and a pretty cap, bo-sides coal, and tea, and sugar, and all such nice comfortablo things. But nevor mind" and she sprang to her feet, brushed back her curls, and drew on her neat litttle bonnet "Never mind, I'll may bo writo a book one of theso days, that'll mako you and I rich. '. And, dear mother, you shall rido in your own carriage, and may be thoso that scorn ns now, only because we are poor, may be thankful for our notice. A truce to romance,, she gravely continued: " stern reality tells me to go directly up to Madison street, find Mr. Miner, give him this twenty dollars, take rccoipt, and then como homo ami read and ling to my mother." Hurriedly Eva passod from her house along the narrow streets. As she went onward, street after street diverged into pleasant width and palace-lined splendor. The houses of greatness and wealth glittered in their marble beauty under the goldon sunlight Up broad steps, through portals carved and shilling, passed the timid steps of Eva Sterne. t At first the pompous servant smiled a con-tomptous denial; but after a moment, perhaps softened by her childish simplicity, and winning blue eyes, deemed it best not to do-ny her urgency, aa4 the entered this palace of a rich man's tione. Softly her feet sank in the luxurious hall carpet ; statuary ia bronze and marble lined lithe way to the staircase. The splendor of the room into which she was ushered, seemed to her inexporiencci sight too beautiful for actual use, and be who eane in, with his kindly glance and handsome (ace, the noblest- perfection of manhood she had ever seen. ' " Well, young lady." he said, blandly smi-t!n, "to whom am I indebted lor this plois-ureV" My father, sir died In your debt," said Eva blushingly, speaking very softly " By tho strictest economy and very hard work, we, my mother and I, have been able to pay all his creditors hot yourself. If you wdl be kind enough to receive the balance of the ae-' count in small sums I am sorry they must t amall. sir. we ean in the course of a very few1 years fully liquidate tho debt,, and then we shall save fulfilled mv father's dying wish, that every stain might be wiped from his honor." She pained a moment, and said t& Tim nllOT nu T vij urniti nag ivi tK air, ,Vl brokepin health for many -in WtorinRly. " My father was very u for- years, but, sir, ho was honorable, ho would havo paid tho last cent it it baa leit nun a beggar. Mr. Minor sat awhile thoughtfully, insoyos fastonod upon tho gcntlo girl before him. After a moment of silenco ho raised his head, threw back tho mass of curling hair that shawdowed his handsomo brow, and said : " I remember your father well ; I regretted his doath. Ho was a fino follow a fine follow," ho added musingly : " but my dear young lady, have you tho means do you not embarrass yourself in making thoso pay ments 1 " Eva blushed again, and looking up mgen- ously replied : " I am obliged to work sir, but no labor would bo too arduous that might save tho memory of such a father from disgraco." This slw spoke with deep emotion. The rich man turned with a choking in his throat, and tears glistening on his lashes. Eva tim idly held out the two gold pieces ; ne tooK them, bidding her stay a moment, hastily left the room. Almost instantly returning, he handod her sealed note, savincr. " There is tho receipt, young lady, and allow me to add that tho mother of such a child must bo a happy wo-mam. Tho whole debt, I find, is nine hundred and soventy-five dollars. You will see by my note what arrangements I have made, and 1 hope they will be satisfactory." Eva left him with a lighter neart, ana a burning cheek at his praisos. His manner was gentle, so tathcrly that sno leit no wouia not iniDOse hard conditions, and it would be a pleasure to pay ono so kind and forbear ing. At last she got home, and breathlessly sitting at her mother's feet, sho opened the let-tor. Wonder of wonders ! a bank note en closed. Sho held it without speaking, or look ing at its value. " Read it," sho said after a moment's bewilderment, placing tho lottor in her mothor's hand "here aro fifty dollars, what can it mean ? " "This," said the sick woman, bursting into tearsf "is a receipt in full, releasing you from the payment of your father's debt. Kind, generous man Heaven will bless him God will shower mercies upon him. From a grateful heart I call upon tho Father to reward him for this act of kindness. Oh ! what shall we say, what shall we do to that man ! " ' Mather." said Eva, smilling through her tears, " I felt as if ho was an angel of goodness. Oh, they do wrong, who say that all who are' wealthy have hard hearts. Mother can it be possible wo are so rich ? I wish ho knew how very happy he has made us, how much we will love and reverenco him whenever wo thir.k or speak of him, or ever hear him spoken of." " Ho has bound two hearts to hint forever,' murmured her mother. " Yes, dear, Mr. Miner ! littlo he thought how many comforts wo wanted. Now we need not stint tho fire ; we may buy coal, and havo ono cheerful bluzo, please God. And the tea, strip of carpet, tho sugar, tho little luxuries for you dear mother ; and tho time, and a very few books for myself. I doolare I am so thankful 1 leel as it X ought to go right back and tell him that we shall ever love him so long as we live." That evening the grate, heaped with Lehigh, gavo tho littlo room an air of ruddy comfort. Eva, sat near, her curls bound softly back from her pure forehead, indicting a touching letter to their benefactor. Her mother's face lighted with tho loss of cankering care, shone with a placid smile, and her every thought was a prayer calling down blessings on the very good rich man. In another room, far different from the widow's homo, but also bright with tho blazo of a genial fire whoso red light made richer the polish of the costly fuaniturc, sat tho noblo merchant. " Pa what makes you look so happy ? " asked Lina, a beautiful girl, passing her smooth handover his brow. " Don't I always look happy my littlo Lina ? " " Yes, but you keep shutting your eyes so," and her bright faco reflected his own. " I think you have had something vory nico to-day, what was it ! " "Does my littlo daughter really want to know what made hor lather so happy ? Horo is my Bible : let hor turn to the Acts of tho Apostles, 20th chapter, 35th verse, and read it carefully." Tho beautiful child turned reverently tho pages of tho holy book, and as sho read, sho looked up in her lather's eyes " And do you remember tho words of tho Lord Jesus, how ho said, it is moro blessed to givo than to rccoivo." " Ah ! I know," sho said, laying her rosy cheek upon his hand ; "you have been giving to some poor beggar, as you did last wccK, ana he thanked you and said God bless you," and that's what makes you happpy." Lina road a confirmation in her father's smile but ho said nothing, only kopt repeating to himself the words of tho Lord Jesus, " It is moro blessed to give than to receive." Olive Branch. J3T The organs of the administration have much to say of " bleeding Kansas," and try to make a joke of the systematic oppression of the majority of the people of that territory by a mob of outsiders. Their attempts to be humorous, are, bow- ever, rather pitiful than otherwise. They see the ghastly procession of dough faces going down to tbeir political bone-yard, where a dozen ot their u. . senators ana as many Governors of States are already deposited, and their laughing has a de-decidedly grave-yard rattler If there is no occasion lor alarm at the aspect ot things in Kansas if Mr. Buchanan & Company are so serene in confidence in their strength before the people, and so well appreciate the fun about " bleeding Kansas " why are tho telegrnpliie opera tors kept busy in disseminating assurances from the While House that fair play is to be shown? Evidently, Mr. Buchanan does not consider " bleeding Kansas " a laughing matter. Cin.

Translated from the Montreal Piiv. A MAN COURTING HIS OWN WIFE. Ten years ago M. V. married in Montreal. He was one of the principal merchants of the city ; but by a reverse of fortune he was compelled to suspend payment soon after his marriage. He loved I: is wife 'o disiraclion, to use a common phrase ; and the idea of his involving her in his disasters greatly afflicted him. After a thousand internal conflicts, M. V. resolved to leave our city without saying anything about it. He wished his departure, or, rather, bis disappearance, to remain a mystery. But he had a purpose. " I will go," he resolved, " to Australia, and there mend my tortunes, or die without giving any account of myself." This resolution taken, our tradesman embarked clandestinely, and eight days after his flight he was not thought of. Madame V. wept, we are fain to suppose; more than this, we will believe sho shed torrents of tears, and sought him upon rivers, and in noods, lakes and caverns, but in vain. M. V. had left to bis beautiful but weeping and forlorn wife an income of a hundred louis, and sailed for Australia. What be-fel him upon thoso favored shores we do not well know; but little by little he amassed wealth. At Montreal they supposed Vim dead His wife wept bitterly ; and she saw, undoubtedly, that sorrow jaundiced her complexion and dimmed her eyes ; therefore she ceased all sweetly, her role of Niobe. Our Penelope could smile like a young widow of eighteen; the art of needlework is too perfect now ; are not men entangled with it ? She was faithful to her wandering husband eighteen long months but she then did what others might have done in her place. Thinking herself young, she lent her ear to tender proposals ; she reviewed her geography of love, confessed to ncvcf having studied the mop of the tender country ; and one fine morning contracted a new marriage. But the first husband 1 He ? ah, he was dead. What living husband would stay away eighteen long months without writing a word ? If he was not dead he ought to be ; ( leminine logic.) She married. Was she happy.or was she not? (Shaksperian question.) Meantime, the first husband labored in the mines. Ho acquired, acquired always acquired. Falling upon an auriferous vein he suddenly obtained a large sura, and had his only motive been the love of gain, would have immediately re turned to Montreal. But his dear Louisa must eat only from silver and drink only from gold. The unfaithful Louisa, as we have al ready said, was again married. Faith does not save us ; M. V. always labored, but an epidemic, prevailed ; our hero caught the small-pox and was completely dishgured. Disgusted with Australia he sold his prop erty and embarked on an American ship. During this voyage the second husband of his wife died wiih the consumption. Mr. V. landed at Portland, flew to Montreal, went to the Montreal House, without arousing any suspicion as to who he was. There are people who always love to create surprise, and he was one of them. He inquired for Madame V. ; no one knew such a person; but M. V. insisted. Finally he was told by some one that she was now the widow a. M. V. scratched Ins head. They pointed out to him Madame widow V., afterwards Madame widow S., and he recognized his wife, charming as when be left her. M. V. immediately lei I into a brown study. His countenance was crave, sad. very sad, very gloomy ; and thus ho turned away. JU. V. had more spirit thnn money ; and he found it very strange to pay his addresses to his own wile. But be did it ; he conned ma own wifo for three months. Ho recognized her ; did she recognize bim ? It is more than wo know ; we leave the dames who read this to solve the problem. He was introduced with all his pounds, and shillings and pence. People will admire pounds sterling, and dollars federal, and women above all. Though scarred and pitted from head to foot with the small pox, M. V. won the heart of his wife. They were to exchange the second marriage rings, when M. V. presented to her (lie samo one ne nau given ner nw meir . i i . i i i i ,i . first espousal. The woman, they say lain ted. 3" The chattering oration of John Tyler at the Jamestown celebratiou a few days sico. was in itself and its surroundings, suggestive. A broken down and despised politician, who hod by accident been raised to an exalted position where bis insignificance . was conspicuous, made an elaborate harangue amid the mouldering ruins ot the brst settlement in v uginia, while the sound of knocking mementoes from the tombstones was heard, his theme the departed glories of the Old Dominion the substance of his discourse aside from a burnishing up of reminicenses, a series of feeble and limping apologies for Slavery. He was the right man in the right place, and spoko according to tho fitness of things, wbilo the assault by the chivalry of the F. F. V.'s upon the tombstones of the pioneers, was eminently appropriate. More Pearls. The jewels eoBlinue to be found in Pas-; nrl Rprirftn counties.

IOWA COKUESIOJDE;iCE. Ckdar Rapids, Iowa, ) April 23, 1857. J EmTons rnoannssivB Aoe : It is so cold to day, I can scarcely hold my pen in my fin- gcrs long enough at ono time to write to you without freezing them, but as I deem tho occasion ono of extraordinary importance, and a sorvico in which my sacrifice may bo for tho benefit of my kind, I shall notwithstanding persovoro. It will, no doubt, bo an item of interest to your many readers to hear from " these promised lands," whero " milk and honey " nover flow, nor warm weather never comes whero so many deluded peoplo " hope to como " to hotter their earthly condition ; but in reality to freeze, to starve, and finally lcavo in dis gust. If I know exactly who it was (if any ono.1 that induced mo to como to this country, I am not cortain that his earthly existence would bo prolonged to that ripo old ago so earnestly desired by young politicians. However, since I have not entirely lost my loco motion, and havo been favored with a splen did pair of " walking beams," capablo of doing considerable scrvico yet, I shall let my choler stand or fall in wcndinjr my way from these desolate regions. Sinco the first of December last, wo havo been favored with some of tho most beauti fully blue and frcezingly interesting weather imaginable, and yet wo were told that Iowa was a very dcsirablo climate ; that it was just " tho place " to live and die in. Truly, if such is tho caso, why does tho thermometer indicato do deg. below zero ; and more particularly why does every person so anxiously desire to disposo of his interests hero, that ho may emigrato back east ; and I do not wonder that they do so, (or feed is so scarce that thousands of stock havo died and aro daily dying from sheer starvation. There is no hay nor corn that can bo had at any price, and the few littlo jags that havo been bought, sold for two dollars per hundred lor hay, and eighty cents per bushel for corn ; and the prospects for grass, on these productive, promising, pro- duco - raising, variegated - flower - generating prairies, is about as flattering as a lover' t hopes just after ho has been jilted. I stood on tho bank of the river to-day, at the ferry, wrapped in two overcoats a big shawl, (which have been my inseparable companions for tho last six mouths,) and became interested in the scene before mo. Tho ferryboat had just landed from tho other side, loaded with hay, and two old ladies, with but ter and eggs. Anticipating their arrival, and moro particularly tho contents of tho baskets and buckots, were thirty or forty lean, lank, lantern-jawed, hungry individuals all anxious to be hrst, and tearing to bo last. I ho sccno was ludicrous in tho extreme, when contemplated in connection with the reports spread eastward, of this glorious country more particularly so when, on enquiring, I saw that tho butter had sold for SU cents per pound and tho eggs at twenty cents per dozen, l'crhaps this kind of living don't lighten tho pockets, slightly If you think not, try it. The hay, I was told, sold for two dollars per hundred. I could name a hundred individuals in this neighborhood, who, if they had the means would lcavo hero, and I know many who are leaving and intend leaving this spring ; having become disgusted at tho country, and moro particularly the Shylocks who infest it. There aro thoso who, having immenso possessions and money to let, without scruple, for ono hundred per cent, are particularly well satisfied with tho country, and who seek by every means, fair or foul, to havo tho country extolled and praised, that moro deluded emigrating individuals may come hero to fill their coffers, increaso tho price of their lands and possessions, and moro particularly, become their victims in imaginary speculations. From this continued stato of facts havo sprung tho most discontented, suspicions and independent social existonco, it has cvor been my fortuno to witness. Every family is a separate and independent government, dependent upon itself for pleasure and amusement, and good feeling, and to such an oxtcnt does this lecling predominate in all classes, that churches are a dead letter, a thing with a name, without any of the morality or neces sary attributes of a church organization. It is true that thcro is land hero without limit, but when you pay from five to ten dollars per acre, and then come to fence and improve it, you will find that your land has cost you near forty dollars per acre ; making your imaginary cheap land more costly tuun tho first farms in old Coshocton County. However, the proof of tho pudding lies in the eating, so let each one taste for himself ; for myself, 1 havo tasted and can say l have got my fill, and shall soon leave satisfied and gratified.WHY SHOULD OHIO FAR.UUtS GO WEST Wo have herolokro attempted to givo tho reasons why so many of out Farmers havo sold out their old homesteads, and sought fortunes in tho Wost. But every day thoso reasons aro growing less operative, and what was true a yeas ago. is not so now, as wo shall attemnt to show. During tho past fow years, tho tendency of prices for all sorts of larui products has been upward, with littlo variation, until thoy have attainod a pormanent standard, which a decade ago would have been considered almost fabulous. If this advanco had been occasioned by a tcmpoaary diminution of supply, we would not call it permanent J but there has been no genera! failure of crops. Thero havo been somo local drawbacks, cold winters, and partial failures in districts but tho area of cultivation has boou rapidly increasing. Now Enrrland and tho middle States have sent out to the fertile prairios of tho wost hundreds of thousands of surplus producers, whosa labor and skill are employed to much better advantage in the now field thnn in tho old. Tho a-rcrmrato amount of the production of the last three years is greater tlan that of any former equal period. Yet, in the face of this increased production, and of good crops abroad, prices have Uruily maintained tuoir advance.It is owing to this (act, and tho proximity to the greatconsuraing and exporting markets of the country, that farming in Ohio is more profitable than in any other Westorn Stato. In almost every part of this State, capital and labor invested in farming pay quite as well, If hot better than in any other business. As compared with other western States, we have altogether tho advantage, which we find thus illustrated by the Cincinnati Oaulttx It is true that a good farm here costs more than it does ia the new States. The (Jazeltt soys that "a Miami farm of I W acres, with suita ble improvements will cost $6,000 ; while the same land m Illinois will cost $l,UW; in Iowa $3,000 ; and in Kansas $2,000 inclu rlini? a decent frame house. ' lint what is to ! be tho result ? The family will support theiu- solvos on cither; but, when we enmeto surplus profits, then tlje Ohio form has- greatly the advantage. The avcragouiffoTcnco ih tho interest of capital will bo 4300 : and this small amount will bo paid on three acres of potatoes ; whilo every article from tho smallest to tho greatest,, which ean possibly bo raised, has a ready cash market." But, further : the farmer has a choice of all the markets. As an oxamplo, potatoes aro abundant in tins section ; yet tho scarcity in Cincinnati croatos a southern demand, which has raised their prico to four times what would pay the fanner a fair, living profit. Wo of tho nortliorn part of tho Stato retaliate, by clamoring for tho early vegetables and fruits of the river region, which always bring high prices hero. It is nearly always'thc case thatihe abundance in ono.section supplies the deficiency of the other, and the facility and cheapness of railway transportation bring the two so closely together that tho equalisation is effected as easily as if they were ono neighborhood. In this way, a certain and remunerative demand for farm products, either irom within our own State, or from outsido markets, will always ensure good profits. In Ohio there aro yet millions of acres un occupied and unimproved, which can be bo't at reasonable prices. There is therefore no necessity for going five hundred or a thousand miles west for farms when they can be had so much nearer tho great commercial points where tho demand for their products ultimately centers. Tho original outlay for a given number ef acre) may bo greater in Ohio than in Jowa ; hut we believe it can bo demon strated that a given amount of money invested here for farming purposes will pay a better prone tnan in any oi tho extreme Western States. Sandusky Itenister. Governor Walker and Kansas. Tho Herald makes a great flourish over tho following alleged special dispatch from Washington : " Governor Walker's programme is to allow tho Pro-Slavery party to go on and frame their Slave Stato Constitution ; to allow the Free-State party, at tho samo time, to hold as many Conventions and pass as many indignation resolutions as they please ; and to throw all the proceedings of both parties into the next Congress, with a splendid manifesto in behalf of his now comproiuiso. And what is that ? Tho simple scheme of giving the lion's share of Kansas, as now organized, to tho Frco- Stato Party, for a t ree state, and of formintr tho boundaries of a now Slave State, by adding to a small slice of Southern Kansas a large slice from tho splendid Indian country south of it ; the Slavo State and Free State to como luto tho Union together. By this arrangement, it is supposed that both the Pro-Slavery and Freo-State politicians, in getting tho Congressmen and other spoils of a new Stato, will be satisfied and that tho speculators in lands, town lots while settlers and niggers will also be satisfied, and, above all, that a groat treaty of peaco will follow between tho A orth and the South. Ihis is the real plan of Governor Walker. Tho oth er plan of abiding by tho Territorial laws and of sustaining tho rights of the peoplo, &c, is only tho tub thrown out to amuse tho whale and the gudgeons. JUDGE TANEY'S NEGRO CONVERT. The DreJ Scott Decision Applied. Slamming tho last door of tho first car and opening that of the second, the " gentlemanly conductor" of tho Now York train made his appcaranco with his bow and smile and " Tickets, gentlcmon, if you please." Seated in the front corner, surrounncd by her personal coiwcnicncics, such as a carpet bag, umbrella, big bundle, little bundle, a few apples, and pioccs of cake, was a colored lady, whoso face, tho huo of an inverted saucepan, contrasting with her snow whito ivory and eyeballs, gavo that pleasing African expression which is so often the type of humor and good nature. " Ticket, ma'am," says our conductor, with a civility regardless of complexion. " I hasn't got any," sho replied, " but I'se got money, any way ; " and she began to fumble in her bag, then in tho bundles, searching thoso articles through in vain. " Come, hurry up," exclaimed her now impatient friend : "I cau't wait all day.'" " Bress your soul, yer don't think I find everything in a minute, but I'se got money soiuowhar must bo in dis yeah cawpet bag," and sho felt in her pocket atcordingly for the key. " Well, well, I'll pass through, and when I get back perhaps you will havo it ready." " Yes, sartin," said Dinah ; but as he passed along she reached out her umbrella, and giving him a poko upon tho shoulder, asked, " What you going to charge on freight ? " " Freight '. what do vou want to Mr that for." " C.mso I does ; I'so civil, aint 11" " Well, flvo cents a foot, there, don't bother me any more, but find your money ; " and ho went his way. There seemed to bo a peculiar drollery about tho lady's cyo and mouth, as tho ono rolled around iu its black sea of flesh, and tho other opened to givo vent to an involuntary " yah 1 ha I " It was not long now before sho found her purso, and withdrew somo coin which sho kept jingling in her hand, and she kept up her occasional cacchinations. In duo timo tho conductor returned for her money, and upon extending his itching palm was sonic what astonished at receiving the precise sum of ten cents. "What do you moan?" be-exclaimed. "Tho faro W New York is five dollars." " Yas, yas, I knows dat, for whito folks folks what folks but T nobody ; I'se freight, I is. Yah 1 yah I Foor rulo us don't work bur ways, uvo cents a loot, ncaa tney is ! '' said sho, extending a pair of enormous ambulators for the inspection of tho conductor ami us all. Tho nonplussed functionary stood unde termined for a moment among the shouts of tho passcnircrs, until an idea of compromise occurred to him, as ho exclaimed : " Well, if you are freight tako yourself olf into the tag-gage car." But eveu there, Dinah was too much for him, as sho replied, " J us you pick up your freight if you want to cair urn olf?" This settled the point. The eonductorvan-rahed, and Dinah offered a pious ejaculation : "Lord bress dat ar Treme Court, and gin tm credit for a five dollar bill, any way l" 05r A boy, at a recent examinatioa in a English school, was asked who discovered America.

We extract the following from tho Salt Lako City correspondence of tho N. Y. Timer. " Another doctrino, almost too disgusting to bo mentioned, is beginning to bo agitated, and its promulgation is seriously contemplated. Monstrous as it may appear, I am assured on good authority that it has already found practical aplication to eousiilorablo extont, altho' not yet publicly promulgated. This Is tho doctrine and thoory on which It is based. Ono of tho leading tenets of Mormonisw prescribes tho duty of "raising up a Kingdom to God ; " and as Missonnrics, absent from their families while engagod in tho labor of making proselytes in other countries, cannot fulfill their duty in this regard, it is held that their places at homo ought in duty to be supplied by others. It is proposed, therefore to appoint proxies in all such cases, who shall act th) part of husbands tor tho wives or the absent missionaries. This shameful doctrino, of course, is founded on tho " revelations of inspi ration." So say the leaders ; but it will be readily understood that the "inspiration " consists of tho depraved will of Briglwm YouDg and his associates, who had looked with evil eyes upon tho wives of absent brethren ; so the cloak ot religious duty is made to cover a new depth of Mormon infamy. " Brigham Young is as thorough a despot over this deluded people as ever held the scop-tro. Lot me relate an incident to illustrate tho arbitrary wwer which he exercises even in tho most minute details of the affairs of tho subject. A marriage, even, without his sanction's considered of no validity. A young man named Orson Miles had been paying his ad dresses to a very amiable and pretty young lady named Whitney, with whom ho formed an engagement of marrago more than a year ago. Not long since Miles went to Brigham, as in duty bound, to ask his consent to the marriago, whicu was unhesitatingly granio a Soon after Miles bad left tho royal presence, a man from ono of the southern settlements entered Brigham's office, and asked if he knew whero he could get anothor wife. Tho cold hearted villain told him that he would give him Miss Whitney. Being reminded by the applicant that she was already engaged, Brig-ham declared that Miles should not have her, and if she did not become this applicant's wifo, ho would givo her to somo ono else. Subse quently Miles met at the young lady's buuso i . , i r ii 1 , i l? apuoniiooi oi uriguaiu s, iiuiiiuu j'urguauu, (the samo creature who hgurca conspicuoutly in the dissolution of tho U. S. Court,) who was endeavoring to induce Miss Whitney to join his stock of " spirituals." Miles agreed with Ferguson to submit the question of possession to tho young lady's own decision, and sho at once gave her preference to her betrothed. The next morning Brigham sent for her, and told her that sho must havo cither Ferguson or an old man who was then setting by Ferguson's side in tho room. With a degree of courage that even men rarely evince hero in tho presence of our tyrant, Miss Whitney replied that she would havo nobody but Miles. Uricham immediately ordered Miles on a mis sion to tho Sandwich Islands : it ho refuses to go ho will be excommunicated, and in constant danger of his life. How the affair will terminate, remains to be seen. Iu all proba bility tho poor girl's only refuge from disaou or is in a suicide's grave. Cold Piece Slicking to the Limb of a fine Tree. Mr. Bcnj. S. Dcy, of Currituck county N-C, while plowing in his field, a few days ago dug up a pile of old Spanish gold and silvor coin to the amount of about $S,00O. It is supposed to havo been buried during tho revolution ; and tho accident that led to the discovery was most singular. It appears that an old pine tree bad fallen near the fence of JMr. D.'s farm, and ono of tho branches struck in tho spot where the money was found. As the tree was an obstruction to those engaged in plowing, it was raised from its position, when it was discovered that the old branch had several nieces of the coin stickinir to it. Thev then went to work and dug down to the depth of about four feet, when they were startled by the discovery of this large amount of money. Every cyo that looked upon the shiners, we aro told, bscamo as big as moons ; and ono of the negroes who assisted in raising tho tree, on seeing tho money sticking to the limb, was so amazed at tho sight, hallooed out, " Why, Massa Dcy, what am dat I wonder if ho gro dar well, well, dis am do fus time I ebcrseed money groin on de pine tree." A yoke of ox en was soon hitched to tho treasnre, and it was carried to tho house of Mr. v., whero it can now be seen. This wo assure our readers is no hoax ; and it rather givcsciedenco to tho tradition that there was money deposited on that part of the coast by Blackboard, the pirato. Aorbi Herald, May 7. Colosjziso VinoisiA. The Ncwburyport (Mass.) Herald speaking of Mr. Eli Thayer's project for colonizing Virginia with free white emigrants, says : " Tho Virginians aro coming on in a large numbers favoring tho movement. We heard of three in Bostos on Friday, to consult Eli 1 haycr, wishing thew lands, which are extensive, to be included in his arrangements. They were anxious to havo value added to their proporty by New England settlers. A lady from the same State, was also Inst week to consult Mr. Tayer, who in her own right and with her family holds a hundred thousand acres. But thoso most interested are tho non-residont land owners of Virginia tho brokers of Now York, who havo advanced money and taken lauds that are no w worthless."We copy tho abovo from tho Wheeling (Va.)

The Committee state that the opinions of the Pres byterian Church in respect lo slavery aro on record, and re-affirm the views hereto fore set forth on the subject. Tbe memorial of the Leaington South Prtsbytery, irs which they declare that a number of their ministers and Church members hid J slaves, believing it to be " ryht," without adding; limitation or qualification to the expression, is entirely disapproved and condemned in principle ; while kind sympathy is expressed for the class of Southern brethren wbo hold that slavery is eminently undesirable. and fraught with many evils ; that the re lation is to be continued no longer than the best interests of both master and slave require it : that sltve should be well treat- . ed, instructed, elevated, and that their church and family relations be held as sa cred as those among masters, and the great law of Christian love should govern. That Slavery ought to be perpetual, is declared to bs contrary alike to the Revelation of God, and the moral sense af Christendom. It wns stated by tho Chnirman of ther Committee, that after three dnys' discussion and consideration of the subject, the report had been unanimously agreed to, one member absent. Notwithstanding this unanimity of the committee, it was at once evident that no such harmony would prevail in the Assembly, at least until after discussion. Various propositions were submitted, all looking to a full debate of the subject. Some were for calling the roll and allowing each member to express his views in a five minutes speech others desired that twenty 'minutes should be tho limit laymen claimed their right to be heard equally with ministers aud Southern delegates objected to any rule whicli should allow each of the two hundred from the free States to occupy the same lime in debate ns each of the twenty delegates representing the slave States. All were for a fair, free discussion, nud it was resolved to enter upon it this afternoon ; Dr. Iloss, of Alabama, jocosely remarking that nobody could make long speeches after dinner, especially after partaking of such sumptuous dinners as were served in Cleveland.This forenoon the Assembly heard rc. porta from delegates to, and communications from Corresponding Bodies. The Associations of Rhode island and New Hampshire, take dociJcd part on the Subject of Slavery ; Rhode I; l ind refusing further correspondence. The Wisconsin General Convention reported intensive and general religious revival in the central nnd southern portions f that State ; also in Be-loit College. The voice of the churches agaist slavery is unequivocal and pointed. The Cumberland Pn sbyterinns give a favorable account of that pioneer church of the Mississippi Valli y. The General Conference of Maine rvports revivals, and a desire to maintain cornspondence with th AssenTbly but, like New Hampshire, complains that emigration to the West is weakening and impoverishing the churches.-It is estimated that one in seven of the inhabitants of New Hampshire have gone out to people the valley of the Mississippi the present season.
