Poetry. "GO IT ALONE."
AY JOHN G. SAXE.
There's a tame in fashion, I fTiink it's' called
Euchar, Jis ' "
Tbongh I've never played it for pleaaar or
lucre,
In which, when the card are in certaia eon
ditionV - -
The players appear to have changed their
positions,
And one of thein cries in a confident lone
"I think I might venture to go-it alone!" -...
'.ttfii. -t
vThile watching the gams, "t) a whim of the
bard a,
A moral to draw from the skirmish in cards.
And to fancy be finds in the trivial strife.
Some excellent hiuls for the battle of Life,
Where, -whether rthej pfwe,. be ribbon or
thinn ' i ' - - v ' ' -
The winner is he that can "go it alone!"
When great Galileo proclaimed that the world
in a regular orbit, was eeaaeiessiy wninea.
And trot not a convert for all of hi pains,
But only derision, and "prison and chains
"It moves, for all that," was his aosweripg
tone,
For he knows, like the earth, Jie cenld fgoit
alone!"' A it t ( i n' f '
When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered the laws of each plannet and star;
And doctors, who thonglitte hayij lauded
,v his name, '" " : '
Derided hia learning and blackened his fame;
"I can wait," he replied, "till the tr'h ye'i
shall owe;" T , a 4, ;
For he felt in his heart he could "goltslone!"
Alaa for the player who idly depend.,
In the strngule of life, upon .kindred and
'friends! "-'-- . T
Whatever the value of blessing like these,
They can never atone for inglorions eae;
Now comfort, the coward . who finds wlh a
groan, ; " ' " '
That his crutches have left him to "go it
alone !"
There is" something, bo dosbt, in the hand
you may hold;
Health, family, enltore, wit, beauty and gold,
The unfortunate owner may fairly regard,
As each in its way a most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost with all tbee e for
yoar own.
Unless yon have the courage to "go it alone!"
In battle or business, whatever the game.
In law or in love, it ia ever the same;
In 1ho struggle for power or scramble for pelf.
.Let mis be your molte: "iteiy on yourself!
For whether the prize be a ribbon or throne,
The victor ia he who can "go it alone I"

Miscellaneous Selections.
A Modern Miracle.
The following account of an iiitemJe-i
miracle is related in a volume published
bv Dr. Bennett, on Mormonism. It is
both curious and characteristic " We
have no doubt whatever that all the
Mormon miracles we have heard about
have, been performed iu a similar man
ner. The age of miracles, like the age
of chivalry, is over; but impostors and
impositions are on the increase. ,' -.
Towards the close of a fine summer's
day, a fanner in one of the Western
States found a respectable-looking man
at his gate, who requested permission to
pass the night under.his roof. ' The hos
pitable farmer readily complied. The
stranger was invited into the house, and
good and substantial supper placed
before him. After he had eaten, the
farmer, who appeared to be a jovial,
warm-hearted, humorouu, and, withal,
shrewd old man, passed several hours in
pleasant conversation, with his guest,
who seemed to be very ill at ease, both
in body and mind; .yet, as if desirous
of pleasing his entertainer, replied cour
teously and, agreeably .to whatever., was
said to him. Finally, he pleaded fatigue
and illness as an excuse for retiring to
rest, and was conducted by the farmer
to an upper chamber, nliere he went to
bed. About the middle of the night
the farmer and bis family were awaken
ed by the most dreadful groaus, which,
they soon ascertained, proceeded from
the chamber of the traveler. On going
to investigate, the. matter, they found
that the stranger was dreadfully ill, suf
fering the roost acute pain, and uttering
the most doleful cries, apparently with
out any consciousness of what was oc
curring around him. Everything that
kindness and experience, could suggest
was done ' to' relieve the sick man, but
all efforts were in rain ; and, to the con
sternation of the farmer and bis family,
the guest expired in the course of a few
hours. ,. ,l ... , ,
v In "the midst of this trouble and anxie
ty, at an early hour in the morning, two
travellers came to the gate and request
ed entertainment. The farmer told them
that he would willingly offer thern hos
pitality, but that jut now his household
was ia the greatest confusion, occount
of the tleath; of stranger, the particu
Iarf hlcK.fie,proceeded to relate to
therri.i ' They' appeared to be much sur
prised and, grieved at the poor man's
calamity, and politely requos'ed per
mission to see the corpse. This, of
course, the farmer readily granted, aud
conducted them to the chamber ' in
which lay the dead body. They looked
at it for a few minutes in silence, and
then the eldest of the pair gravely told ,
the farmer that they were elders of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, and were empowered by God to
work miracles, even to the extent of
raising the dead; and that they felt
quite assured they could bring to life
the dead man before them.
The farmer was, of course, considera
bly astonished at the Quality and Dow
ers of the persons who addressed him,
and rather incredulously asked if they
were quite sure they could perform all
they proposed to. "Oh, certainly ! not
doubt of it The Lord has commis
sioned us expressly to work miracles, in
order to prove the truth of the prophet,
Joseph Smith, and the inspiration of the
book and doctrines revealed to him.
Send for all your neighbors, that in the
presence of a multitude we may bring
the dead man to life, and that the Lord
and his Church may be glorified of all
men." - .
' The farmer, after a little consideration
agreed to let the miracle-workers pro
ceed, and, as they desired, sent his chil-
hdren to his neighbors, who, attracted by
the expectation of a miracle, nocked to
the house in considerable numbers. The
Moruionite elders commenced their task
by kneeling 'and praying before the
body, with uplifted hands and eyes, and
with most stentorian lungs. Before they
had proceeded far with their pravers, a
sudden idea struck the farmer, who
quietly quitted the house for a few min
utes, aud then returned and waited pa
tiently by the bedside for a few minutes,
until the prayer was finished and the
elders were ready to perform the mira
cle. Before they began, he respectfully
said to them that with their permission,
ho wished to ask them a few questions
upon the subject of their miracle. They
replied that they had no objection. The
farmer then asked: ."You are certain
you can bring this uian to life agaiifFV
"We are."
"How do you know that you can ?"
"We have just received a revelation
from tho Lord,inforrain us that we can,"
"Are you sure that the revelation was
from the Lord V
- "Yes, we cannot be mistaken about it"
"Does your power to raise this man
to life 'depend upon the particular na
ture" of his disease, or could you bring
any dead man to lifet" ,
"It makes no difference to us; we
could bring any corpse to life."
"Well, if thsman had been killed and
one of his arms cut off, could you bring
him to- life, and also restore pirn to his
arm?" ; " v -,. -., ,
"Certainly ; there ; is no limit to the
power given to us by the Lord. .It would
make no difference even if both of his
arms and legs were cut off." - -
"Conld you restore him if his head
been cut off." '
, ''Certainly we could."-
"Well," said the fanner, with a quiet
smile upon his features, "I do not doubt
the truth of what such holy men assert,
but 1 am desirous that my neighbors
here should be fully converted by hav
ing the miracle performed in the com
plet98t manner possible; so, by your
leave, if it makes no difference whatever,
will proceed to cut off the head of this
corpse." ' ' . ' ' ' '
' Accordingly he produced a" huge
and well-sharpened broad axe from be
neath his coat, which he iwnng above
hia head, and was apparently about to
bring down on the neck of the corpse ;
when, lo and behold ! to the amazement
of all present, the doad man started up
in great agitation, and declared that he
would not have his head cut off for any
consideration whatever. .. - ',. '.
"The company -immediately, seized
the Mormons, and soon made them con
fess that the pretended dead man was a
Mormon elder, aud that they had. sent
him to the farmer's house with direc
tions to die there at a particular hour,
when they would drop in as if by acci
dent, and would perform a miracle that
would astonish everybody. The farmer,
after giving the impoeter a severe chas
tisement, let them depart tp practice
their imposition in some other (quarter."
Perils of Eastern Drummers.
.The Boston Commercial Bulletin de
scribes the perils of. Eastern "Drum

The stagnation of trade has been se
verely felt by all business men, and even
that enterprising class of our fellow
creatures known as "drummers," or trav

exhaustible invention and resources,
have been obliged occasionally to yield
to the pressure of the times. -
' One of these gentlemen, who has re

A Wood-Chopper President. The
recent election of Senator Wade as

by which he becomes Vice President
of the United States, "reminds me of a
little story," (as our late President used
to say,) of the times when we were boys
together, over in the wooden couaty of
Ashtabula.
Once upon a time, Frank Wade and
Tim Waters, had job of chopping
wood, over in the township of Andover;
they boarded with a very pious lady by
the name of Adams, who was more
given to prayer meetings than to good
house keeping. Upon a certain even
ing, young Wade and his companion
attended the prayer meeting, where
Mrs. Adams delivered an earnest ex
hortation, and closed with a humble
confession of her own short-comings,
saving: that she was a miserable sinner
and a poor critter, and unworthy of any
mercy, fcc. When Mrs. Adams took
her seat, W ade nudged his companion
to say something. Waters arose and
said very solemnly that he could bear
testimony to the truth of what Mrs.
Adams had been saying, as he and his
friend were boarding at her hoiise!
The meeting was speedily closed, and
the next day the two young men were
notified o look up a new boarding place,
as they could be no longer accommoda
ted under Mrs. Adams' roof. S. D. IL

The Creditor's Strategem.

cab started. The fourth ran after, and

asked the driver if he wanted to sell his
horse." ' He replied that he did not want

fifteen dollars, but-he would not sell
him for thatij He 'asked him if he would
take one hundred dollars for him.
"Yes," said he. The fourth man quickly
paid over the money, took the reins,

up so that the door could not be open

County and Municipal taxes paid during
the year, whether by owner, tenant, or
mortgagor losses actually sustained
during the year from fires, shipwreck,
or incurred in trade; debts ascertained

Once upon, a time there was a little
girl whose father and mother were
dead ; and she became so poor that she
had no roof to shelter herself under, .
and no hed to sleep in" and at last she."
had. nothing left but the clothes on her
back, and a loaf of . bread in her hand,
which a compassionate body had given
to her. But she was a good -and pious
little girl, and .when she found herself
forsaken by all the world, she went out
into the fields trusting on God. Soon -'she
met a poor man, who said to her,
"give me something to eat, for I am so
hungry."" She handed him the whole
loaf; aad,' with a "God bless you I"
walked on further. Next she met a lit
tle girl crying very much, who said to
her, ."pray give me something to cover
my head with, for it is so cold !" So
she took off her own ...bonnet, and gave
it away. . And in a little while she met
another child who had no cloak, aad
to her she gave her own cloak. Then
she met another who had no dress on,
and to this one she gave her own frock.
By that time it was growing dark, and
our little girl entered a forest; and
presently she met a fourth maiden, who .
begged something, aud to her she gave
her petticoat; for, thought our heroine,
"it is growing dark, and nobody will

now she had scarcely anything left to
cover herself; and just then some of the
stars fell down in the form of silver dol

Operations of Conscience.
When the nervous energy ia depress
ed by any bodily cause, or exhausted by
over-working, there follow effects which
have often been niimsterpreted by mor
alists, and especially the theologians.
The conscience itself becomes neuralgic,
sometimes actually inflamed, so that the
least touch is agony. Of all liars and
false accusers a sick conscience is the
most inventive and indefinable. The
devoted daughter, wife, mother, whose
life has been given to unselfish labors,
who has tilled a place which it seems to
others only an angel would Siako good,
reproaches herself with incompetence
and neglect of duty. The humble Chris
tian, who has been a model to others, "
calls himself a worm of the dust on one
page of his diary, and arraigns himself
on the next for coming short of the per
fection of an archangel.
Conscience itself requires a conscience,
or nothing can be more unscrupulous.
It told Saul that be wiil die well in per
secuting the Christians. It has goaded
countless multitudes of various creeds to
endless forms of self-torture. The citiea
of India are full of cripples it has made.
The hill sides of Syria are riddled with
holes, where miserable hermits, whose
lives it had palsied, lived and died like
the vermin they harbored. Our libra
ries are crammed with books written by
spiritual hypophondriars who inspected
all their moral secretions a dozen times
a day. " They are full of interest, but
they should be transferred from the
shelf of Che theologian to that of the
medical man who makes a study of in,,
sanity. .r Profwor't Story,
