LINES WRITTEN IN AN INDIAN BURIAL-YARD. 
BURLESON. 
Tired of the turmoil of the noisy throDg, 
Anti sick of glitter and of vain parade, 
I quit the strife, and haBte me here along 
Where Nature’s charms alone are seen displayed. 
Here in this quiet and secluded spot, 
Removed from man and all contentions dire, 
Envy in wolfish guise protrudeth not, 
Nor lustful Avarice kindleth up her fire. 
For God’s own presence fills the ample space ; 
I hear his voice sound in the whispering breeze, 
On mossy banks his footprints I can trace, 
And feel his greatness in these lofty trees ! 
The landscape’s beauty, bathed in liquid light, 
Is the faint semblance that reflection lends ; 
His face too glorious for the human sight, 
Across the fields its shadow kindly sends. 
The golden sun stands on the eastern hill, 
As though to rest ere mounting to the 6ky ; 
The birds with music sweet the woodlands fill, 
And night has drawn her sable curtain by. 
Oh 1 wbat a time for gentle thoughts to creep 
With soothing influence o’er the aching heart 1 
Oh I what a place where thousands nameless sleep, 
For Death his oft-forgotten lesson to impart! 
If the tomb’s secret could but be revealed, 
Or the dark grave but once give up her dead, 
What tales would tell oblivion’s lips unsealed 1 
What hosts among these quiet woods would tread ! 
Some aged chieftain, father of his tribe, 
Like Shenandoah might lean upon his staff; 
Whose stern, unflinching heart ne’er knew a bribe,— 
Whose stoic features never knew a laugh. 
The blood-stained hero, terrible in war, 
In paint and plume, with tomahawk and bow, 
Might stand with curliDg lip, contemptous to abhor 
The coward heart of his pale vanquished foe. 
The orator, whose words of thrilling power, 
Could fill the breast with passions mild or fierce ; 
Could soften anger so the tears would shower, 
And then again with hatred madly fierce. 
The dusky maid, the dark-eyed Indian belle, 
Another Pocahontas here might stand ; 
Who plead with tears so eloquent and well, 
The captive doomed was rescued by her hand. 
The gray-haired sage, whose counsels all would heed, 
Nor gleaned his lore from colleges and books ; 
But Nature’s volume carefully did read, 
And wisdom learned from stones and running brooks. 
All these perchance might stand amoDgst the host, 
Honored and praised, held by their country dear ; 
Men who as proud a lineage could boast 
As England’s noblest lord, or proudest peer. 
Their acts of valor, chivalrous and brave,— 
Their deeds of mercy, gentleness, and love ; 
Alas ! with them have perished imthe grave, 
And only known to him who rules above. 
The art of letters was to them denied— 
The crowning art above all others blest; 
It tells for us how meekly Jesus died, 
And how through Him to gain a happy rest! 
By it the memory is embalmed for aye ; 
And names, immortal rendered as the soul, 
Like lines deep graven in the rock shall stay, 
Long as this globe in ether space shall roll. 
The art of sculpture was to them unknown,— 
Which bids the urn above the tomb to rise, 
And moldeth that upon the polished stone, 
Which long shall last to dim the gazer’s eyes. 
And hence their names, their legends, aDd their tales ; 
Their exploits, wars, and lives of heroes brave; 
The lapse of time in mute oblivion veils, 
These sister arts alone had power to save. 
But yet some tender breast their mem’ry has held dear, 
Since they have slumbered in the silent tomb ; 
For not a grave however low lies here, 
But eyes have wept, and hearts been sad with gloom. 
Oh ! who can tell what tears have here been shed 1 
What broken hearts bent prostrate o’er each mound! 
What forms at twilight round these barrows tread, 
To vent their grief in sorrow’s plaintive sound ! 
But it is meet that with this tribe and race, 
And with the lov’d that mourn’d when they were not, 
And with the deer they fondly loved to chase, 
That they, and all they were, should be forgot. 
Here let them rest in sweet and soft repose, 
And monumental trees above them wave ; 
I will not try their secrets to disclose, 
That pillowed with them lie within the grave. 
Unfeeling stranger, whosoe’er thou art, 
That cometh here to rifle and molest, 
Do not disturb their bones ; but silently depart, 
E’en as thou hopest thine, sepulchred, to rest. 
Deem that their spirits from the shadow’y land, 
Linger as yet invisibly around ; 
And that with pain they view the ruthless hand, 
That desecrates this consecrated ground.

ERRORS OF THE HEAD AND HEART. 
A TALE OF THE MORMONS. 
BY EDWARD WEBSTER. 
[Concluded from last number. - ] 
The little knot of laborers speedily gathered 
around their associate at the magic word which 
exerts so powerful an influence over all man¬ 
kind. Religious enthusiasts as they were, and 
schooled to consider all things else as vanity, 
compared with the building up of a modern 
Zion, whose glories should outshine Jerusalem, 
and whose temple should surpass that wonder¬ 
ful structure in the ancient city of the Lord, 
they possessed nevertheless the shrewdness to 
understand that, even in such an enterprise, 
gold would be a potent instrument; and besides 
there remained that lurking desire for gain, in¬ 
herent in the human soul, which such an event 
as the one described is calculated to stir up 
from its profoundest depths. Incredulity, 
doubt, and amazement sat upon their counte¬ 
nances, as Carter announced to them the dis¬ 
covery. They had great confidence in his 
judgment, however, and were speedily con¬ 
vinced of the reality. 
Then came the question what was best to be 
done. The extent of the deposite was as yet 
unknown, and the fear that the supply might 
be soon exhausted in case the secret should he 
divulged, induced them to keep the whole affair 
as still as possible. They resolved, therefore, 
to make common stock of all the gold which 
might be obtained, for an equitable division 
afterwards—to proceed with the work as if 
nothing unusual had happened, and collect the 
treasures, washed out each day by the current, 
in such a manner as to attract no attention. It 
was also resolved to dispatch one of their num¬ 
ber to apprize the brethren scattered through¬ 
out the territory of the facts, iu order to afford 
them also an opportunity to enrich themselves, 
before the secret should become divulged, as, 
sooner or later, it must be. The messenger’s 
share in the final division was not to be preju¬ 
diced in consequence of bis absence from the 
field of operations, and with this understand¬ 
ing he set out upon his mission. 
The diggers kept on from day to day enlarg¬ 
ing the dimensions of the ditch, and of course 
appropriating vast amounts of treasure. Capt. 
Sutter, observing the increasing magnitude of 
the excavation, at first gave the laborers great 
credit for integrity and honor, in thus execu¬ 
ting a piece of job-work for which they were to 
rec ive a specific and stipulated price. He 
therefore commended them highly, and gave 
them notice that he was satisfied and ready to 
pay for what they had done. They failed to 
call for a settlement, however, and still persist¬ 
ed in their work, day after day, with the most 
persevering diligence. He next commanded 
them to desist, alleging that they were washing 
away too much land, and tfiat the ditch was 
already larger than necessary ; but, with a per 
tinacity that seemed a manifestation of insanity, 
they still kept on. In the mean time, swarthy, 
bearded, and uncouth men had straggled in, 
two or three at a time, and joined their labors 
to the others. The patriarch of the ranche was 
a straight-forward, simple-minded, and unsus¬ 
pecting man, yet he could not remain blind to 
all these proceedings, and accordingly set some 
of his men as spies upon the action of the new 
comers. The story of their conduct began also 
to be talked about among the adventurous and 
roving population, such as always abounds in 
in new territories, and particularly here where 
the receding wave of war had left upon the 
shore hundreds of discharged sailors and sol¬ 
diers, and of course the momentous secret 
speedily became divulged. 
The news of the discovery once getting wind, 
swept over the country like a conflagration over 
the dry and withered grass of the prairie, pro¬ 
ducing the most intense excitement; the harvests 
were left ungathered in the fields, the herds 
were permitted to roam uncared-for over the 
plains, sailors deserted the merchantmen trad¬ 
ing upon the coast, and officers even left their 
ships and cargoes unprotected to wreck and 
plunder. United States soldiers defied martial 
law, and left their barracks in a body, and 
ships of war were compelled to haul off into 
the broad Pacific in order to retain their com¬ 
plement of men. It was very soon ascertained 
that the auriferous deposite was not alone con¬ 
fined to \he valley of the Sacramento, but on 
the contrary extended through a vast range of 
the territory, and that every stream which took 
its rise upon the western slope of the Sierra, 
rolled its waters over golden sands. 
Our adventurers, having abuudant opportu¬ 
nity to secure of the first fruits sufficient to 
satisfy the most covetous desires, made among 
themselves an equitable division, each man’s 
share amounting twice over to what he was 
able to carry away. Taking, therefore, as much 
as was deemed prudent to encumber themselves 
with for the journey, each one concealed his 
balance in a secure place for future recourse, 
and then made preparation for departure. Pack- 
mules and provisions were speedily procured, 
and a file of pilgrims might soon thereafter 
have been seen winding through the intricate 
passes of the Sierra, in an opposite direction 
from the usual course of continental travel. No 
one would have suspected, who looked upon the 
cortege, that anything in their possession was 
worth the trouble of a bandit’s plunder; and 
besides, there appeared under the quiet and 
subdued hearing of the travelers the manifes¬ 
tation of a spirit that would have been danger¬ 
ous to meddlesome intruders. Thus they 
proceeded unmolested for many days, until at 
length, near the close of a tedious day’s journey, 
the rising towers of the new Mormon city 
greeted their eyes, bathed in the glories of the 
setting sun. It is unnecessary to relate the 
sensation produced among “ the Saints” at the 
announcement of the return, and the nature of 
their adventures. The glittering treasures 
brought in by the party, and the stories related 
by them of the abundance left behind threat 
ened at once the dismemberment of the Mor¬ 
mon fraternity, and the depopulation of the 
new city. The cry “to California!” arose 
among the brethren, and hasty preparations 
were made on all sides to emigrate once more. 
At this juncture, the rulers, who possessed un¬ 
limited influence among the people, assembled 
for consultation ; whereupon it was proclaimed 
that the Prophet had received a Divine message 
in the form of a revelation, which ran as fol¬ 
lows : , 
“ The true use of gold is for paving streets, 
covering houses and making culinary dishes ; 
and when the Saints shall have preached the 
Gospel, raised grain, and built up cities, the 
Lord will open up the way for a supply of gold 
to the perfect satisfaction of his people. Until 
then, let them not be over anxious, for the 
treasures of the earth are in the Lord’s store¬ 
house, and he will open the doors thereof when 
and where he pleases.” This epistle was suffi¬ 
cient to quiet most of the people, although a 
few, on whom the ties of Mormon brotherhood 
sat somewhat loosely, took up their connection 
with the sect, and made all speed to thelandof 
gold. 
It was with the feelings experienced by a 
mariner who has been tempest-tossed over un¬ 
known seas, that Carter found himself once 
more restored to his family. Their experience 
since his departure had been of the most un¬ 
pleasant character, for the mother retained her 
former faith, notwithstanding the arguments and 
teachings, and even the denunciations of the 
leaders ; and having inspired the children also 
with her own ideas, they were regarded as 
intruders aud gentiles. The monstrous and 
demoralizing doctrine of polygamy, which had 
always been denied while the sect was under 
State authority, and its members liable to in¬ 
dictment for felony, had, since their arrival in 
Salt Lake Valley, been boldly proclaimed and 
acted on by the leaders as a revelation from on 
High. The doctrine of “Squatter Sovereignty,” 
that is to say, leaving the scattered inhabitants 
of a territory in perfect freedom to regulate 
their domestic institutions in their own way, 
which had then recently been promulgated and 
maintained in high places, ensured to them 
perfect immunity in such a practice—and it 
began too early to produce its baleful fruits.— 
The wife of our adventurer had been repeated¬ 
ly urged, during her husband’s absence, to be 
come an inmate of one of the harems, and the 
pressure upon the family, in order that the 
daughter, now budding into womanhood, should 
be sealed as a spiritual wife, amounted to ab¬ 
solute persecution. It is uncertain to what 
extent the matter might have been carried, if a 
regiment of U. S. troops under Col. Steptoe 
had not at this juncture come into the valley— 
and the husband and father also soon afterwards 
returned. 
Carter, during his wanderings and varied 
experiences, had gained higher and juster 
views of men and things, and was far more 
capable of judging correctly of his duties and 
obligations, than when, in the spirit of an hon¬ 
est but mistaken faith,he had sundered the ties 
of home and kindred, and joined his fortunes 
to those of the Mormons. He was shocked and 
outraged at the new dogma, or at least the old 
one, which, until recently, had lain dormant 
and concealed ; and he was startled at the in¬ 
fluence it had exerted for the purpose of break¬ 
ing up his own household and blasting his 
domestic peace. Now that the enthusiasm of 
a new and ardent disciple had somewhat abated, 
he was able to discern what every intelligent 
and impartial observer cannot fail to see, viz., 
that the mass of the sect are ignorant and un¬ 
educated, and that, honest and sincere them¬ 
selves, they are made the blind and willing 
dupes of selfish and designing men. These 
truths forced themselves slowly but surely upon 
an unwilling mipd#Jout they carried conviction 
in their train, and he therefore finally deter¬ 
mined to dissolve ljis connection with the sect 
and return once more to his own beloved New 
England. His wife and children received the 
announcement with rapturous joy, and readily 
set to work preparing for the arduous journey. 
But how to withdraw from the Mormon 
church without exciting enmity and anathemas, 
and to prevent the interference of over-zealous 
members with his intentions, was now the 
question. He therefore sought a private inter¬ 
view with the Prophet, declaring frankly his 
change of sentiment and convictions, and an¬ 
nouncing his determination to shake the dust of 
Salt Lake Valley from his feet. He offered, as 
a propitiation to the church, the whole amount 
of gold he had brought with him into the city, 
reserving to himself only sufficient for the 
necessary outfit for California. The tempting 
offer had a wonderfully softening influence up¬ 
on the rising indignation of the Prophet, when 
he considered in addition that the wife and 
children of the disaffected member had proved 
ip corrigible; and he therefore graciously con¬ 
sented to the arrangement. In order, however, 
to prevent scandal in the church, and hinder a 
wider spread of the defection at a dangerous 
moment like the present, it was resolved to let 
the backslider depart quietly and without a 
public exposure. Accordingly, availing him¬ 
self of an escort of United States troops which 
at the moment happened to be ordered from 
Utah to the Pacific coast, he bade adieu forever 
to the Mormon faith and city. The secret of 
his defection was well kept by the leaders, who 
ordered instead, a public exhibit of the splendid 
donation he had made to the church; and the 
people, blinded by the ruse, were boundless in 
praise of his liberality, and firmly impressed 
with the opinion that his present journey was 
intimately connected with some project for car¬ 
rying forward the work of converting the gen¬ 
tile world. 
Having arrived a second time in California, 
Carter hastened at once to the place of deposite 
where he had concealed his treasures, and found 
them fortunately untouched by the multitude 
of spades and mattocks, which, in the interim, 
had dug over every hill-side and turned up all 
the valleys. Of course he readily exhumed the 
treasure, keeping the secret as to his original 
knowledge of its position, and was thereafter 
designated as the lucky Mormon, who, the first 
day after arriving and striking a spade, turned 
out of the earth a mule load of gold ; and then, 
without waiting either for a continuance of 
fortune’s favors, or the risk of being robbed of 
this, hastened away with his prize to San 
Francisco. Here he deposited the gold in the 
United States mint, just then established, tak¬ 
ing receipts therefor payable in New York, and 
embarking on board one of the Pacific Mail 
Company’s steamships, was, with his family, 
very soon again landed upon his native shores. 
Early one morniDg his native village was 
taken by surprise at the return of the pilgrim, 
cured of his errors, both of the head and heart, 
and asking re-admission to the bosom of the 
church whence his feet had been led astray._ 
The boon was readily granted by his Christian 
brethren, on due confession being made, and 
Carter and his wife, ever mindful of the num¬ 
berless perils they had escaped, and recognizing 
the guiding hand of Providence in all their 
wanderings, now make a wise and beneficent 
use of their abundant means in doing deeds of 
charity and mercy.

A Knowing Man. —Two friends were lately 
speaking of a certain publisher whose kindness 
of disposition has been frequently abused to his 
injury, when one remarked:—“ P. is a noble 
fellow, and might have been rich, but his heart 
is so kind that he never can bear to say no to 
an application to publish.” “Yes,” replied the 
other, “ a publisher must be a no-ing man, and 
a knowing man, or he will soon find himself an 
owing man !”— N. Y. Eve. Post. 
Dunup on Debt. —“It must be confessed that 
my creditors are singularly unfortunate. They 
invariably apply the day after I have spent all 
my money. I always say to them:—'Now, 
this is very provoking. Why didn’t you come 
yesterday, and I could have paid you in full ?’ 
But no, they never will. They seem to take a 
perverse pleasure in arriving always too late.— 
It’s my belief they do it on purpose.” 
Decency is a matter of latitude. In Turkey 
a mnn with tight pants on, is considered so 
great a vulgarian that he is not tolerated in so¬ 
ciety. To spit in the presence of an Arab is to 
make the acquaintance of his cheese knife. In 
Russia the man is considered low who refuses 
a warm breakfast of fried candles. In this 
country vulgar people are such as keep good 
hours and live within their income. 
A short time since, a barber offered a reward 
of fifty dollars for the best recipe for “ instantly 
removing superfluous hair.” Among the an¬ 
swers was one forwarded by a gentleman in 
Kingston. We give it“Undertake to kiss a 
woman against her will.” 
No man ever prospered in the world with¬ 
out the co-operation of his wife.— Exchange. 
Cooperation ? That must be to furnish her 
with hoops. Or perhaps it is to go “staving 
around” with her—either of which is much 
easier than to “ head” her. 
Snooks says the prettiest sewing machine he 
ever saw was about seventeen years old, with 
short sleeves, low neck dress and gaiter boots. 
A fool in a high station is like a man on the 
top of a mountain—everybody appears small to 
him, and he appears small to everybody else.

coming harvest, I take great pleasure in Speaking of its still 
increased merits over any previous year's manufacture, and 
in recommending it as now improved and perfected as being a 
Combined Reaper and Mower, adapted in every respeot to the 
wants of farmers who have use for such an implement. 
I have so shortened the rear part of the platform and framo 
as to make the delivery easy. The reel post on the left side of 
the machine is made higher, the wing board wider and longer, 
and have put in internal gear. The raising lever is lengthened, 
and the driver's seat set further back, which so balances the 
machine as to rid the horses of all weight upon their necks— 
and I have the utmost confidence in recommending it as the 
best Combined Reaper and Mower in use. 
Warranted capable of cutting in a workmanlike manner 
from 10 to 15 acres of Grass or Grain per day. 
My terms are the same as heretofore. For the Combined 
Machine, delivered here on board cars $125. For the Single 
Mower, $110. WALTER A. WOOD,
