We can but yearn through length of days For soraething lost, we facied ours : We'll rniss thee, darling, when the Spring Has toucht the world to flowers ! For thou wast like the dainty month Which strews the violets at his feet : Thy life was slips of golden sun Aud ailver tear drops braided sweet ! For thou wast light and thou wast shade, And thine were sweet capricious ways !

O willow, why forever weep, As one who mouins an eudloss wrong? NVhat hidden woe can lie so dcep? What utter grief can last so long? The Spring makes haste with step elate Your life and beauty to renew ; She even bids the roses wait, And gives her first sweet care to you. The welcome redbreast folds his wing To pour for you his ricbest strain ; To you the earliest bluebirds sing, Till all your light stems thrill again. The sparrow trills his wedding song And trusts his tender brood to you ; Fair llowering vines, the summer long, With clasp3 and kiss your beauty woo. The sunshiue drapes your limbs with light, The rain braids diamonds in your halr, The breeze makes love to you at night, Yet still you droop, and still despair. Beneath your boughs, at fall of dew, By loveis" lips is softly told The tale that all the ages tlirdngh Has kept the world from growing old. But still, though April's buds unfold, Or summer sets the earth aleaf, Or autumn pranks your robes with gold, You sway and sigh in graceful grief. Mourn not forever, unconsoled, And keep your secret, faitliful tree ! No heart iu all the world can hold A sweeter graee than constaucy. A Livitiff Death.

ST. JOHNSBURY, TT., FEIDAY, ATJ6TJST Mormon Life Mr. Bowles of the Springfield Republi can, who accompanies Speaker Colfax on his overland trip to California, gives through his paper some interesting facts in regard to the Mormons. Although the public are familiar with their practice, and to some extent with their theories, many portions of the account will be found instructive. The letter we quote begins as follows : " How the !Mormon women like and bear polygamy ? is the question inost peo ple ask as to the institution. Tlie univer sal testimony of all but their husbands is that it is a grievous sorrow and burden ; only cheerfully submitted to and erabraced under a religious fanaticism and self-ab-negation rare to behold and possible only to woman. They are taught to believe, and many of them really do believe, that through and by it they secure a higher and more glorious reward in the future world. 'Lord Jesus has laid a heavy tri al on me,' said one poor, sweet woman, ' but I mean to bear it for His sake, aud for thc glory he will grant me in His kingdom.' This is the common wail, the common solacc. Such are the teachings of the ehurch ; and I have no doubt but husbands and wives alike ofteu honastly accept this view of the odious practice, and seek and submit to polygamy as rca ally God's lioly service, calculated to make saints of tliemselves and all assoei ated with them in the future world. Still ti good deal of human nature is visible, botli among the men in embracing poly gamy and in their wives in submitting to it. Mr. Young's testimony on this point is significant. Other signs are not want-, ing in thc looks and character of the men most oftcn annointed in the holy bonds of matrimony, and in the wcll-known disa greemeut of thc wives iu many families. In some cases they live harmoniously and lovingly together ; oftener, it would seem, they have separate parts of the snme house or even separate houses." ! After noticing the eflect of the system in sowing distrust and jcalousy among families, Mr. Bowles shows that the Mor mon Eden is by no nieans proof ag-.tinst temptation, as will be seen by the follow ing incident : " Of the U. S. soldiers at Camp Doug lns, two companies who wcnt home to Cal ifornia last fall took about twenty-five wives with them, recruited from the Mor mon llocks. There are now some fifty or more women in the camp who have fled thither from town for protection, or been scduccd away from unhappy homes and fractional husbands; and all, or ncarly all, lind new husbands among the soldiers. Only to-day a man with three daughters, living in the city, applied to Gol. Gcorgc for leave to movc up to the camp for a rcsidence, in order, he said, to save his children from polygamy, into which the bishops and elders of the church were urg ing them. The camp authorities tell many like stories ; also of suddor applications, if possible, for relicf from actual poverty and from persecution in town." A large proportion of the recruits to Mormonism, are from tho poor English laboring classes, who are brought in by missionaries. Many nationalities are rep- resented among them, and as a mass they have the appearance of niental weakncss. Of their religious exercises hc says : " Tlie gatherings and the services, both speaking and singing, reminded me of the Methodist camp meetings fifteen or twcnly years ago. The singing, as on the latter occasions, was the bcst part of thc exer cises eimple, sweet and fervcnt. 'Dnugli ters of Zion,' as sung by the large choir last Sunday, was prayer, sermon, song and all. The preaching last Sabbatli was by Mr. Samuel AV. Richards, who was of Massachusctts origin, but has been a Mor mon leader and missionary for many years. Beyond sctting forth the supei'ior ity of the Mormon church system, through its presidents, councils, bishops, elders and sevcnties, for the work niado incumbent upon Christian?, and claiming that its preachers were inspircd like those of old, his discourse was a rambling, unimpres sive exhortation. The Bi blo, both New and Old Testament, is used with the same authority as by all Protcs tants ; the Mormon scriptures are simply new and added books, conlirming and sup plcmenting the teachings of the original scrij)tures. The rite of the sacrament i3 administered every Sunday, water being used instead of wine, and the distribution proceeding among the whole congregation, men, women and children, and numbering from three to tive thousand, while the singing and preaching are in progress. The prayers are few and simple, undistin guishable, except in thesej characteristics, from those heard in all Protestant church es, and the congregation all join in the Amen. In compliance with the request of Mr. Colfax, Brighain Young preached a ser mon upon Mormon doctrines, which is characterized as "A curious medly of scriptural expo sition, exhortation, bold and bare state ment, coarse denunciation and vulgar al lusions, cheap rant and poor cant. So far as his statement of Mormon belief went, it amounted to this : " That God was a human, material body, with like flcsh and blood and passions to ourselves, only perfect in all things ; that he begot his son Jesus in the same manner that children are begotten now ; that Jesus and the Father looked alike, distinguishable only by the Father being older ; that our resurrection would be material, and we .should live in heaven with the same bo dies and the same passions as on earth ; that Mormonism was the most perfect and true religion ; that those Christians who were not Mormons would not necessarily go to hell and be burned by living fire and be tortured by ugly deils, but that they would not occupy so high placcs in licaven as the Latter Day Saints ; that polygamy was the habit of all the children of God in the earlier ages, and was first abolished by the Goths and Vandals who conquered and constructcd Rome ; that Martin Lu ther approved of it in a single case at least ; that a clergyman of the Church ol England oncc manied a man to a second wife while his first was living ; and that in England now, if a man wantcd to change his wife, hc had only to offer her at auction and knock her off for a pot of beer or a shilling, and marry anothcr. (Tliis last statement called forth a voice of dissent from an English workinjr face in the audience.) A good deal of boasting of thc succcss of thc Mormons, their teniper ance, frugality and honesty, and a sharp denunciation of the ' fcw stinking lauyers who livcd down in Whisky street, and for live dollars avouUI attempt to make a lie into a truth,' were the only other notico able features of this discourse of thc prcsi dent of the church of the Latter Day Saints. It was a very material intcrrup tion of the statements aud truths of scrip ture, very illogically and roughly rcnder ed ; and calculated only to inUuencc a cheap and vulgar audience. Brigham Young may be a shrewd busincss man, an able organizer of labor, a bold. bravc per son in dealing with thc pr.icticjilitics of life he must, indeed, be all of these, for we see the evidencc all around this citv ml and countr' : but he is in no sense an impressive or eil'ectivc preacher, judged by any standards I have been accustomed to." Tlie children of the poor have no cdu- cation, while those who are able to pay for it receive evcning instruction from the bishops. lt may be a question of some solicitudc as to the probablc future of this pcople, and the swanns of childrea they are inllicting on the world. It is quite probablc, that if the sect is not nourished by untiinely persecution, it will soon lade away with the death of some of its chicl incn, and before thc tide of emigration and the inllux of idcas from the east. Mass Conventions. From the very nature of thc case, a mass convention is largely composed of freemen in the inimcdiate vicinity, imni bers of whom would not be at theexpcnso of time and inoncv neccssarv to o to a distant point. A Windsor convention is proportionally much more nunicrously at tendel by AYintlsor men than by the vo lers of Woodstock or Burlington, and nr reTirt. Now, does a mass convention at Windsor, thus constituted, ndeqiiatcly and fairly represcnt the frccnicn of all thc towns in the statc ? Assurcdlv not. This point is too plain for argument. Windsor would thus be enabled to out votc a dozcn other town5. We are all familiar with the machincry of such con ventions. They are usually at the com plete mercy of thc wire pullers. These cxpericnccd cainpaigners arnmgc evcn thing, as far as possible. to please thcm sclves and their lavorites. Joncs, thc drmnmcr. says to Urown, thc lifor, " You play for me and I will dnun for you." Evcrything is preparcd bcforchand, like thc cake for a surprise party. They are accustomed to thc managenient of mass conventions, and if cithcr thc dnunmer or thc lifer, hajijicns to live in thc place where thc asscinblago takcs place, their task is gencrally most cnsv. The rcmcdy for such inisrcpraentation and such non-rcpresentation is the delc gate oonvcntiou. Then the voicc of thc rcmote towns is not overwhchncd by the sliouts of the ncar. Thc huiulred voters. twenty miles distant, who scnd two dele gates, are not out-votcd by thc hundrcd voters not two miles distant, half of whom pcrhaps are present. Such a mode is eminently cqual and fair ; the other way is not. Who objects to mass conventions? Thc wire puller, of course. Freemen of the country and of the statc, are not your weighty interesls at stake ? Let us re fonn the town caucus, thc county and the state convention. Windsor Journal. A Capital Bath. An open widow, with the direct rays of thc sun coming in, will be good for the little one. On a hot summer day, to lay it down near the window, quite uude, and lct it lie for some minutas where thc rays of the sun may fall upon its skin, will give it new life. There is a vital re lation betwecn sunshiue and avigorous hu man being. Scclusion from sunshine is one of the greatest misfortunes of civilizcd life. The same cause which makes poUi-to-vines white and sickly when grown in dark cellars operates to producc the pale sickly girls that are rcared in our parlors. Expose either to the direct rays of thc sun, and they bcgin to show color, hcalth and strength. Wrhen in London, some years ago, I visited an establishmcnt which had acquired a wide reputation for the cure of those diseases in which prostration and ncrvous derangement wero prominent symptoms. I soon found the secret of success in the use made of sunshiue. The slate roof had been removed and a glass one substituted. The upper story was di vided into sixteen small rooms, cach pro vided with lounges, washing apparatus, ctc, The patient, on entering his little apartment, removed all his clothing, and cxposed himself to the direct rays of the sun. Lying on the lounge and turning over from time to time, cach and every part of the body was exposcd to the life giving rays of thc sun. Several London physiciaus candidly coufessed to me that many cases which seemed only waitin" for the shroud were galvanized into life and health by this process. Dr. Dio Lewis. 4, 1865.

Turning to one of his staff, and pointing to a spot near us, he said : u Go :uid tcll Captain to bring his battery andplant it there at oncc! " The licutcnant rode away. After giv ins one or two further ordcrs vrilh great clejiniess, nipidity and precision, Hooker s eyc lurncd again to that mass of rcbcl in fantry in the woods. and hc said to anoth cr ollicer. with grcnt eniphasis : " Go and tell Captain to bring his battery here instantly !

A wriler in the Woodstock Stamford gives the following account of the chcese factory at Enosburg : The building is one hundred and eight feet long, thirty feet wide and about cight een feet length of posts. Oa thc ground lloor are four largc vats, holding four thousand pounds of milk each, lined with tin and resting on fmmc work about a foot high. Thc vats are provided with a chamber in which cold water is placed for thc ptirpose of reducing thc tcniperature of lhe milk. The Tats being lilled, the tcniperature is reduecd to 79 degrees for thc reccption of the rcnnet, and then rais cd ag.iin by thc use of steam lo 84 de grees, after which thc process is ue;irly thc same as that usually adopted in private dairies. Thc wliey is drawn offby a sy phon, thc curd is placed in hoopi about niueteen inches in diamctcr. making the chccsc to weigh from oac hundred to one hundred aud twenty pounds cach, and they are then placed in the press, which is constructed of two long lieainSj a conven- icnt distanee from tlie floor, one over the other about three feet, and connected by strong iron screws. AHicn sufiicieiitry pressed. the ehecses are couvej'Ctl up siairs. where they are proieriy carel for until sent to market. Oltcr is used to give them a nicc cream color.

Six hands four girls and two jnen are sulfi cient help to work the milk of a thousand cows, and can make a ton of cheese pcr day from that uumler.
