Come out to the side of the sea, my love, Come out to the side of the sea, The robins are singing well to-day, And the winds and the waves agree; But song of robin, nor song ol wave, Biings pleasure or peace to me—--0 come, for I sit and wait, alone, On the rocks by the side of the sea! I am going down in my memory To the blessed long ago, When the golden ground of the buttercups Was dashed with the daisies’snow. .And I’m thinking of all you said to me, And if it were true or no, ''Slide I watch the tide as it runs away ' From the beach so black and low If I should die my love, my sweet. Die of your smile forlorn, Bury me here by the side of the sea, Where all my joy was born. Where the waves shall make my lullaby, And the winds from night till morn.

Old Nick, who taught the village school, Wedded a maid of homespun habit; He was stubborn as a mule, She was playful as a rabbit. Poor Jane had scarce become a wife, Before her husband sought to make her Tim pink of country polished life, And prim and formal as a quaker. One day the tutor went abroad, And simple Jenny sadly missed him; When he returned, behind her lord She slyly stole, and fondly kissed him. The husband’s anger rose—and said. And white his face alternate grew! 'Less freedom ma’am!’—Jane sighed and said ••Gk dear! J didn’o know 'turns you?” The most curious thing in the world, is a woman that is not curious.

ALWAYS IN SHADOW. BY T. S. ARTHUR. — There are some people who so perse-' veringly turn themselves away from the sun, that their faces are always in shadow. They make a merit of looking gloomy, and [seem to think sighing a virtue. If, in a! moment of forgetfulness, tempted by some mirth-provoking word or circumstance, I they should happen to smile, they go ; down, therefore, deeper into the vale of shadows, in self-enjoined penance. You have all met such persons; and j among them a few with social qualities of so attractive a character, naturally, I that, if they could only bo won from this gloomy seclusion, and induced to forget the long-ago sorrow or bereavement, over | which brooding has become a habit, they i would be welcomed in many circles, and ■ diffuse around them an influence for good ’ the widening impulse of which no one can |trace. | One of these poor, shadow-seeking; mortals of the finer mould, was my friend . Mrs. Lawson, I had known her when a ; girl, and admired her for the pure quali- ■ ties of mird by which she was distinguished. She was gentle, modest, quiet and thoughtful beyond her years; and, ! [ moreover, peculiarly sensitive to all iin-[ pressions. I She married a most excellent young man . whose love for her was not the ardor of a mere youthful passion. It was more | deeply grounded. He was social in his i feelings, and a genaral favorite. After ! their marriage lie still inclined to mingle in the old circles, and to keep up the many friends and relations he had found so nleasant; but the young bride loved | her home and the society of her husband [ best, and, had her will prevailed, would I have hidden herself in the one, and kept ; all the sweetness of her life for the other. Mr. Lawson indulged her in this feeling ! only to a degree. The wants of his social nature made intercourse with other; • minds and hearts necessary; and, for his : I sake, his beautiful and accomplished wife ; kept her place in the forms r circles. But[ ' after a few years, the shadows that fell I ion almost every home, fell upon this one ; I olso; and one of the bird-like voices that I made all its echoes musical, was hushed I in eternal silence. From that time, Mrs. Lawson indulged to their full extent, all her natural tendencies to seclusion. The dimness of perpetual shadow was in every room of her I household, as well as in every chamber [of her heart; and face, as well as form, ' were clothed in morning garments. Not j less painful to Mr. Lawson was the deathI stroke that narrowed their little home cirIclejbuthe had manly powers of endu-' ; rance, and a certain pride that led him j involuntarily to conceal from other eyes ! all marks of suffering. Only for a little ' while did the signs of sorrow show themi selves upon his countenance. Mourning weeds were not assumed; and, ere a week had gone by since the day he stood bowed under the weight of a heavy grief, and saw the coffin-lid close over the beautiful effigy of his beloved child, neither friends i ' nor strangers were reminded by any thing in look or manner t f the sorrow he j had been called upon to endure. To some, ! this appeared like a defect in sensibility; and his wife, at times, accused him in her heart of coldness towards the memory of : the child whose image was to her a per- ! petual presence. ; Weeks glided away, and months began i to record themselves on their lives since little Phoebe died, and still the mother satin shadow. Friends had gathered round her, and sought, by various means, 1 ,to win her from the brooding melancholy that was fixing itself as a permanent condition of mind; but only a few continued *[ to seek her in the hiding place of her i home —the larger number, repelled by 1 her coldness, or out of patience with her weak, unwomanly conduct receded, and left iier in her shadowy seclusion. And, ' of those who remained and bore with her ’ back to the circles from which she had • withdrawn, one and the other grew weary of the unvarying shadows that always attended her, and left her for the more con- ■ genial sun light. Two or three years elapsed, and still 1 Mrs. Lawson wore the insignia of bereavei ment. Not once during all that time had ! she arrayed herself in garments of clieer- ’ ful color—not once graded her attire be- ; ! low the studied grief of ‘second mourning —not once appeared at public place of ’ I amusement, or social party. ‘ls it right?’ Very often her husband ’ intruded this question upon her, and it , was one, the answer of which, she always 3 evaded. ! ‘lt is right?’ he continued to urge, and ; , with increased earnestness.—’Right to i , those whom your experience and truer modes of thinking would benefit!’ t ‘My duty is at home, among my child - e ren!’ was her usual answer. ‘1 can not y trust them to the care of mere hirelings. I Should anvthing happen to one of them

, during my absence, I could not forgive j myself to the day of death. You wrong even our children,’ said! ' Mr. Lawson to his wife one day, speakimr i with more than usual earnestness on the j subject, and with an impatience bordering I ’on reproof, not before exhibited. ‘lt is! not good for them to see only this shadowed side—to move in the dim light that pervades our home—to know their mother only as a sad-looking woman with pensive, instead of love-sparkling, eyes! Observe, already, the effect upon our little {Aggy! Her sweet, happy face is fast | toning down in expression to an image of your own; and a word, not in the gentlest lof possible utterances, touches, instantly, I the fountain of tears. It is wrong—wrong I all wrong!—This kind of discipline—this : i kind of house-inflence, instead of blessing | will curse, ou* children. Our duty is to I [living, not the dead! Shall we wrong the j j former for the sake of the latter? Shall! weak, a selfish sorrow for the departed, [ cause us to shadow the lives of all who remain? No—no! Heaven forbid! Act, i from this hour, in a better spirit. Come | forth from the darkness into the light.’ Mrs. Lawson looked at her husband in surprise for a few moments. His words [startled her and gave to her thoughts a ' new direction. But, with her, any sud- ! Jen change of feeling was th? herald of tears. The signs of weeping were daily ; on her cheeks; and now, unable tocontrol; herself, she wept freely. Mr. Lawson! kept silence, until the paroxysm wasoier. He then said:— ‘Unless true thought governs a woman’s | love, affection is a curse, instead of a , blessing, to her children; for it is only by true thought that right affections have ' power. Reason will tell you, on a moment’s reflect! >n, that impressions made [ in early childhood affect the whole afterlife. Now, what impression are you ma- 1 king on the minds of your children? Can you hope, keeping as you do your heart, countenance and home always in shadow, [that they will grow up with sunny feelings, and go forth into tho world with cheerful views of life? If you gather [around you the garments ot perpetual I mourning, because a wise and good bei ing, all of whose ways are in mercy and truth, has removed one of our precious lambs to the fold in Heaven, can you expect vour children to prow up with right views oi Providence; or a spirit ot tranquil submission to the Divine will? Mrs. Lawson’s state of perception was clearer than usual, and, as she listened, ; the truth of what her husband said presented itself in strong light. ‘Grief is not wrong,’ continued Mr. Lawson, seeing tiiat his words were making the impression be desired, ‘Tears [may, and should flow, where the heart :is pierced by sorrow. But they should not fall in the sand; but upon fruitful ground, and give life to flowers of spirit- ; ual beauty. In the painful death of natural affections, the higher and eternal ones have birth. Our afflictions, here—[ourlosses, trials, bereavments —are only | parts of the discipline by which our Heav--1 enly Father is preparing us for the higher ; falicity of angels, Let us take heed, then [ that we do not rest in the affliction so 'mercifully sent, but rise, in new strength and felicity, above its naturally depressing influences. ‘What would you have me do?’ asked Mrs. Lawson, leaning towards her husband, and looking into his face with the eainestness of one who sought instruction. ‘That is not the question, love.’ Mr. Lawson smiled very tenderly upon his wife. ‘That is not the question. Ask, rather —‘What is right for rue to do?’ ‘Let the question, then, take that form; and answer,’ said Mrs. Lawson. ‘First, then,’ was replied, after a few moment’s reflection, ‘lay aside these signsof rebellion tn the will of Providence. And Mr. Lawson placed his hand upon the morning garments of ]>>» wife. The face of Mrs. Lawson flushed instantly. ‘lt is in the act that our feelings express themselves, said her husband.— ‘Without the act, all mortal states are powerless. It is of no avail to purpose right, unless we do right. If there is forgiveness in your heart—let us have the signs.’ ‘Forgiveness? Os whom, and for what? o said Mrs. Lawson. ‘Forgiveness of God, for having translated our babe into Heaven.’ ‘Mrs. Lawson looked bewildered by this, to her, singular proposition. ‘ls it not so?, Her husband pressed the conclusion. ‘lt may be,’ was replied, almost sadly. ‘Let the convictions of reason,’ said Air [ Lawson, ‘gain their legitimate mastery 1 over feeling. This is the easy way to do [ right. It will cost you an effort—vio- ■ lence will be done to certain long-cherish-i ed, morbid states —but act like a true woman and a wise one, and after the first step, all other steps will be easy. Begin, [then, by layingoff the mourning garments worn, by years, too long.’ And Mrs. Lawson did begin here,'

[and had not the true, strong words of her I though not without a painful effort. Vi- J . olence was done to long-cherished states*! i and had not the true, strong words of her 1 [ husband been in her mind to strengthen 1 j her in the trial, she would not have gone [ to the end, When he returned home on / the evening of that memorable day, and t met her garmented in pure while, she , i looked so beautiful in his eyes, that he could not resist the impulse to throw his ! arms around her, and exclaimed— t '1 have found my wife again! t All the house wore a different aspect, j The sun seemed to be shining in at all the | v. ir-dows, and lightning up every apart- i ment. The children, won to their mother’s side by the change in her appearance, j looked happier in their father’s eyes than . i they’ had ever seemed. Two or three I ( friends happened to call in during the eve- I, Ining—a rc.re occurrence —and found all! so changed in this long-shadowed home, I that, instead of a dreary visit, made al- [ most, from a sense of duty, they passed a few hours of true enjoyment. From this right beginning the happiest results came speedily. It was wonderful, how soon after the cherished signs of gloom were laid aside, the shadowed spirit came forth into the sunshine, and re- ! i fleeted on all sides the brightness it received. Not two months from that time of this [ [ change, Mrs. Lawson met, at a large en- [ ! tertainment a lady whose friend had almost [ ! forced her into company, in the hope of [ ' breaking the deep gloom by which hei j [ spirit was enshrouded; a gloom cast over ! , her by a deep sorrow. The lady’s beau- j tiful, but sad face, attracted Mrs. Lawson [ [ and before the evening closed she gained [ an introduction. Not in all the crowded. ! rooms was there another mind, disciplined ! !to the right tone, and with perceptions I l of sufficient clearness, to meet tiie heart yearnings of this lady. The very first words spoken by Mrs Lawson went trembling to her heart, and filling it with a crowd of new emotions. Il seemed to her , as if she were inspired in the conversaton j that followed, to the utterance of higher and more soul-comforting truths that .she ; had ever read of in books, or beard in oral language; and the eagerness with which ; the lady hung upon her sentences, showled her that they had in them a living ; [ power. • [ x uianK trod that we have met!’ was [ the lady’s words, as she held the hand of ; Mr. Lawson at parting. ‘He has led me , in your way, to comfort and strengthen • [ me. To-morrow I leave the city, and we I may never see each other again; but your . true sentiments will go with me as blessings; and I shall be a wiser, and, 1 hope, [ a happier woman.’ ‘lf,’ said Mr. Lawson, after Lis wife had told him of this circumstance, ‘we hide I' ourselves away among the shadows, we ; cannot brighten the life of another i human being. But, if we go forth into I the broad daylight, and let the sun ot ■ i truth shine upon our faces, we may throw ' j his beams all around us, reflecting them ■ upon many grieving ones, who, else, ■ would sit in perpetual darkness; and upon many wandering ones who have lost their >. way. i i 1,1 — 1 r A Good One About Railroad Passes. [ —We heard a story yesterday which is I too good to keep from the public, and so here it goes: A man residing at Schencctada, who has long been in the employ of the Central Railroad Co., and is now a fireman ; on the road, applied to Mr. Vibbard, for a pass to take him to some point on the road which he desired to visit. The Superintendent declined to grant the request and said; ■ “The company employ you, and pay ■' you so much per month for your services. ' When you are paid our obligation ends If you "were at work for a farmer at one [ dollar per day, and desired to go to Sara- [ toga, would you epect him to hitch up his ' team and carry you there for ■nothing?’’ The fireman replied —‘No, sir; but if he had his team hitched up and was going to Saratoga, I should think he was a d d hog if he didn’t let me ride!’ Sharp Shooting.—The following is a ; specimen of sharp shooting between a coquette and her lover: ‘You men are angels when you woo the [maid, But devils when the marriage vow is paid.’ The lover not to be outdone replied as I follows: “The change, dear girl is easily forgiven—We find ourselves in hell instead . ! of heaven.’ Joe recently paid a visit to his country friend Ned, and finding him in the imI mediate neighborhood of the piggery, inquired what he was doing? ‘Only going through with the daily routine of feeding,’ ' said Ned. “Oh, I see,’ replied Joe; ‘and [ from the looks of the pen I should say I that the pigs bad gone through with their daily rooting ’ Prevailing epcdemic—Bad colds!

Front the State Sentinel, i i Mormon Movements—Spicy Speeches &c. i We make extracts from our tiles of the t Deseret Xews, showing the temper of the Mormon leaders: ;. Mormons must he ready to lay down their lives.— President Joseph Y ouiig made a t speech in the Bowery, at Salt Lake, iu r which he said: t ‘I have heard Brother Brigham say, i and I indorse the sentiment, that every 1 man and every woman who is not willing; i to lay down his or her mortal life for this i gospel, cannot be saved. Ihe Lord will I bring us into a place where we shall be I tried whether we are as willing to die as we are to live,and I know this is true, and if I have not gained that point, I have got i to live so as to arrive at it on this side | of the veil. There is a veil over us at I present, but to some the veil is becoming i thin, but it is not rent.’ A curse upon one of the. detractors of the ] Mormons. — President Heber C. Kimball ■ indulges in the following: ‘There is a poor curse who has written i the biguer part of those lies which have been printed in the States, and I curse him in the name of Israel’s God and by the priesthood and authority of Jesus ( Christ, and the disease that is in him shall ; sap and dry up the fountain of life and! ; eat him up. Some of you may think that ! he has not the disease I ullude to, but he ! is from the crown' 6f his head to the I J point of its beginning. That is the curse ! I that shall come on that man; it shall be so, and all Isreal shall say, ‘Amen.”[ The I vast congregation of Saints said ‘Amen.’] I JHe is laying plans to destroy us, and is [ [ striving with his might to stir up the gov- [ ernment of the United States and the ! President to send troops here to bring us ! into collision and destroy the pure people, I man, woman, and child. May God Al ; mighty curse such men [voices all through i the congregation, ‘Amen ’j and women and every damned thing there is upon the ; earth that opposes this people. I tell you [ •! 1 feel to curse them to-dav. [Voice: And [they shall be cursed ] Yes, they will be [ and the devil shall have full possession to , every man and woman that raises the tongue to sympathize with those poor [ curses. I ask no odds of them, no more, j than Ido of the dirt I walk on, for if it I was not there I could not walk upon it — [ Now. home and sympathize, ail of you 1 who wish to. 1 tell you that the most of this people ! are a God-blessed people, as Amasa, says: and shall ever be blessed with your wives and Children after you forever. And 1 bless you in the name of Israel’s god, and you shall be blessed.’ Brigham Young Defended. — Patriarch John Young indorses Brigham: ‘I would like to have you tell of a time. If voucan, when Brother Brigham and Brother Heber did not speak by the pow- ; er of the Holy Ghost. I know you can- [ not do it, and yet there are men who are continually whining because the First: Presidency are so severe upon the workers of iniquity; hut I don’t ieel to take oil; the curses, but by the authority and pow- j er that 1 have and the priesthood that has been sealed upon me, 1 seal those curses Kimball has pronounced upon the heads ' of the guilty.’ [The congregation responded ‘Amen.’] , •I just know there are men here, right [ among us, who thirst for the blood of the Prophets of God, and there are those pro-; fessing to be Saints who are fostering! them in their hellish designs; but I pray my Heavenly Father to purge out these [ cursed characters from among us.’ The keys of Heaven in Utuh. — President Kimball, who is looked upon as a shining light in Mormondom, expresses this sentiment: ‘Here in Great Salt Like City, is the seat of Government for the Church and Kingdon of God, pertaining to every per son that has ever come into n probation on this earth, or whether they are in the spirit world, or in hell. This is the place of deposit of all those keys pertaining to the salvation of the human family, and ; there never will one soul of those spirits now in prison come out of that place, ex- ■ cept the keys of the Kindom of God that! are now held in Great Salt Lake City op ' 'en the door and let them out. They may [ peep and mutter, and may have revela-' tions until doomsday, and may declare to all etenity that Joseph Smith is a false prophet, and that his Church is false, and that they will remain in hell until we let [ [ them out. ‘Brother Brigham Young holds those 1 keys, and Brother Heber C. Kimball, and [Daniel H. Wells and others, hold those| keys in connection with Brother Brigham, and not one soul of you has any Keys or ' power of salvation only what is in us, and i [ that is one thing for you to learn Those I [ keys and powers were on Smith when he was in the flesh, and before he, [departedhe laid his hands on Brother Brigham anil Bro. Heber and others, and conferred the keys of salvation upon them and we are here in the last dispensation lof the Kingdom of God that pertains tv> every man and woman »a earth, in hell.

end in the spirit world, and the redemption of not one individual soul will be obtained upon any other principle. Jfurmons in smut machine.— Elder Geo A. Smith says: ‘The supposition is that the smut machine is ahead, and that by and by every man and every woman who fee) disposed to serve the Lord with all their hearts will have achence to be tried whether they love the Lord or the things ol this world the best; whether they love the things of the Mo.it High God. or whether their le ligiori is a mere form carried out to please thier bishop, to satisfy their teachers, or whether they do give their hearts co the Lord and all theii might, mind, and strength.’ A word to the Ladies. — President Kimball has a word to say to the female Mormons: , ‘What, sustain a woman, a wife, in preference to sustaining the Prophet Joseph, Br. Brigham and bis brethern!-— Your leligion is vain, when you take that course. Well, my wife may say, ‘if you will sustain Brigham in preference to me. I wifi leave you , I should reply, 'leave and be damned,’ and that very quickly. , That is part of my religion, ‘leave quickly, you poor snoop.’ Why the fuss about the J/ormons.-Bisb iop Smoot explains the reason of opposi- ’ lion: ‘lf you inquire of the candid man what ! is the matter, why all this fu<s about the Latter Day Saints? he cannot give you a single reason. They’ do not know what the’trouble is. I did not hear but one ’ man endeavor to explain tlit cause of tho uproar, and his reason was that Uncle ' Sam would not allow the archives of the [ nation to be burnt up by the ‘Mormons;’ that was the capitol crime. AY hetlier lhey 1 really had been burned they did n<>l know [ but they supposed that they had, for soma vague report had come to them that an officer ol the Government had failed to t get bis documents and had returned to Uie States and told the people that Governor Young had burnt them. 1 hat, I , believe, is all the charge that was urged in my hearing against the ‘Mormons, dur- [ ing my short stay in the lower wo: Id. “But they say "that the time has come [ for ‘Mormonism’ to be destroyed, right or wrong, and I could realize most forcible the real cause of the whole trouble, ' wkieli consists of tho real facts that Israel is united, and is about to build a temple to the name of their God. J hat has caus* ed the devil Io be up and on the march, and to howl most lustly; he gives forth some splended howling.’ How the Saints pray for Sinners. — P res • ident Joseph Young says: ‘As Saints, we have assembled together with our wives and little ones, and wo i have plowed and sown, and raised our [ own bread, and our grain is increasing; i God Almighty has touched the soil, and has brooded over it as over the waters at the beginning. And lo! no sooner have we.obtained this land, planted our orchards and gardens, than our enemies want I to drive us again. •Pres. H. C. Kimball.’—Do you pray for them, Joseph? ‘Yes, I pray for them just as the Spirit dictates, which is something like the following: O, Lord, bless all our brethren [in the States, and everywhere elso throughout the world, and bless all that ; bless them, and curse all our enemies and waste them away. How the Mormons Emblazon their Bannrrs.—At a public celebration in the settlement at Nephi, banners were carried in procession with the following inscripI tions; ‘Twelve married ladies, motto, ‘Zion j shall increase,’ led by H. Brown. Twelve young men, motto, ‘Zion’s Defence.’ led by A Woll. 'Twelve young ladies, motto, 'Virtue of Zion,’ led bv J. Cezier. — Twenty-four little boys, ‘The young lions seen in the vision,’ led by Z D. Baxter. Twenty-four little girls, motto, ‘Our future hope to propagate.’ Mormon Toasts — On the same festive occasion the following toasts were offered [ among others: Editors John Taylor, Er a sins Snow and ' George Q Cannon— May th* Snowstorm ! blow. Cannon roar, and the Taylor cut, 1 until the gainsayers of Zion are silencedThe Prophet Brigham— The greatest .telegraphic conductor in the universe—a cable reaching from earth to heaven. Brigham Young— First statesman in [ Israel; his governmental policy is only equaled by his judgment as God’s Prophet. The Morman Leaders, their Union and their Peculiar Institutions— The first the outsiders could not imitate if they would; i the second they woulden't if they could; i the third they durst not for fear of their ladies. A few things to be found in Deseret— A glove for the hand of time, a nest of young eagles, a sprig from the tree of liberty growing from the seed, and antidote for everything that's good, a regulator of the morbid desire, a detector of bogus coin, a ferry across the River Styx.
