SPEAK NO ILL.
NaT, spenk no ill ! a kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind,
And oh ! to breathe each tale we've heard,
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full oft a better seed is sown,
By choosing thus the kinder plan;
For if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we can.
Give us the heart that fain would hide
Would fain another's faults efface;
How can it please e'en human pride
To prove humanity but base ?
No ! let us reach a higher mood,
A noble sentiment of man ;
lc earnest in the search of good,
And speak of all the best we can.
Then speak no ill; but lenient be
To others' failings as your own;
If you're the first a fault to see,
lie not the first to make it known.
For life is but a passing day,
No lip may tell how brief its span;
Then oh ! the little time we stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can

THE MORMONS.
A Genoa, Carson Valley, Utah Territory, corres
pondent of the San Francisco Herald writes:
Judge Cradlebauirh left yesterday for Washing
ton, by way of California; he is in pursuit of his
favorite purpose, the noblest that ever actuated
anj man, the extermination, at least politically, of
the Mormons. His plan is to have the representa
tion in the Utah Legislature in proportion to the
legal vote, which is to be ascertained by a com
missioner appointed for the purpose. The Judge
informs mo that the entire. Mormon population of
eastern Utah does not exceed 35,000, of whom not
more than 8,000 are entitled to vote. The Gentile
population of eastern Utah he estimates at 3,500
voters, that of western Utah he puts down at 8,000
voters, and there is an absolute certainty of an in
crease of fifteen or twenty thousand in the Spring
He hopes to outvote the jtnrmons at the election
next jear. A Gentile Legislature once secured,
the capital would be removed to Eastern Utah, the
Church charter would be abolished, and that power
ful instrument of the devil, the Emigrant Aid
Association. Brigham Young would ho deprived
of the power to marry and divorce at pleasure, and
an act would be passed authorizing apostate Mor
mons to brinsr suit against Brighain for their share
of the Church fund, the property of which amounts
to millions of dollars. A fair trial would also be
secured by act authorizing change of venue from
eastern to western Utah. The Judge will also
warmly urge the extension over ns of the pre-emption
laws, with a view to the early settlement and
sale of the public lands. These things are what
we need, and it is to be hoped that Judge Cradle
baugh, in connection with onr efficient representa
tive, Major Dodge may succeed in securing them.
The Judge hates the Mormons, not from prejudice
but conviction. He has witnessed their iniquities
and as a bold, upright man he has set himself to
work to root them out. Every honest man bids
him "God speed."
IIASON" AND DIXOTT'S LINE.
For years past, during the agitation of the sla
very question, we have heard a irood deal of ref
erence made to " Mason and Dixon's line," but
donbt very much if the origin of the phrase is
known to the great body of those who have used the
term. We clip the following explanation going
the rounds of the press :
Mason and Dixon's Line. On the 4th of
August, 1703, Thomas and Richard Penn, and
Lord Baltimore being together in London, agreed
with Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two
mathematicians or surveyors, to mark, run out, set-
tic and fix the boundary line between Maryland,
on one hand, and Delaware and Pennsylvania, on
the other. Maron and Dixon landed at Philadel
phia ou the 15th of November following, and be
gan their wort at once. They adopted the penin
sular lines, and the radius and tangent point of
the circular of their predecessors. They next as
certained the northeastern coast of Maryland, and
proceeded to run the parallel of latitude. They pur
sued this parallel of latitude a distance of 23 miles,
13 chains, and 21 links, from the place of the be
gining at the north-east corner of Maryland to the
bottom of a valley on Drunkard Creek, where
an Indian war path crosbed their route, and here on
the 20th of Xovembev, 1767 ninety-two years
airo their Indian escort told them it was the will
of the Soux nation that the survey should cease,
and they terminated accordingly, leaving 36 miles
six chains and 50 links distance remaining to be
run west to the southwest angle of Pennsylvania,
not far from the Board Tree Tunnel, on the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad.

From the Richmond Enquirer,
ARMING THE STATE.
The following is an exact copy of the important
law that has just passed both Houses of the Vir
ginia Legislature by large majorities, and is enti
tled "an act making an appropriation . for the pur-
chaso and manufacture of arms and munitions of
war." We are satisfied that it is fully responsive
to the avowed wishes of the people of Virginia,
and that it will exert a most happy influence in
convincing our enemies that
in standing up for her rights
A mrinia is in earnest
"Be it enacted by the General Assembly, That
the Governor be and he is hereby directed to have
the buildings of the Public Armory, at Richmond,
forthwith put in s.uch condition, by the introdui
tion of suitable machinery and otherwise, as shall
fit them for the manufacture and repair of arms for
the use of the militia of the State, upon a plan to
be prepared by a commission of three persons, and
approved by the Governor the members of which
cotnmssion shall be appointed by the Governor, and
removable at his pleasure.
2d. That the Governor be and he is hereby
authorized and directed to employ a Master
Armorer at an annual salary not exceeding 2,500
and quarters, whose duty it shall be to direct the
operations in the manufacture and repair of arms,
and, under the direction of the Superintendent, to
employ such operatives as may ensure the effective
working of the Armory.
3d. That the Governor be and he is hereby
authorized and directed to cause to be purchased all
such machinery, implements and materials, and
the patent rights of any newly invented arms, as
may be necessary for the successful operation of
the Armory for the purposes herein specified."
4. That the commission provided by the first
section of this act be furtherauthorized and direct
ed to purchase such arms, equipments and muni
tions as may be required for the immediate use of
the State; provided no arms shall bo purchased, ex
cept of the most approved quality and description,
and at reasonable prices: and provided further,
that not more then one hundred and eighty thous
and dollars be expended in the purchase of arms
equipments and munitions; and provided further,
that a due proportion of said arras shall be distri-
j buted in the more exposed parts of the State said
commission are also required to provide for the
manufacture of equipments and munitions of war
within the State.
5. So much and such parts of chapter 33 of the
Code of Virginia, relating to the Public Guard
and Armory, as may be in conflict with the provi
sions of this act, are hereby repealed: Provided
that nothing in this act shall be so construed as to
suspend the present operations at the Armory in
the repair of arms until such time as the occupation
of said Armory may be necessary under the pro
visions of this act.
0. For the purpose of carrying into effect the
provisions of this act the sum of $500,000 is hereby
appropriated, which amount shall be raised by
loans in the manner prescribed by existing laws, or
such laws as may hereafter be passed for raising
funds by loan for works of internal improvements.

A Weak Sister Caution to Clergymen.
Rev. A. R. Finch publishes in the Rockport Ad
vertiser a card of warning to the public, and his
brethren, the clergy, in particular, against a woman
whom he married early last fall, aud who deserted
and ruined him. lie explains how his ruin was
accomplished. While attending the Brockport
camp-meeting, a woman, small in stature, weariug
specs, and prepossessing in appearance, pursued
him in a carriage, told him of her eslecm and how
much she was worth, and induced him to marry
her. lie consented, the knot was tied, and she
having accomplished his ruin, forsook him, proba
bly to find another victim. Air Finch asserts in
his card that this woman had served two men at
least, in the same way before, one residing at Belle
ville, C W., the other in Wieconsin. The Wis
consin man she left in a -destitute condition, with
three children to provide for. Lest she may inflict
similar outrages upon others of our sex, we give
this much publicity to the statement. Clergymen,
who may be single susceptible to the influence of
the sex and the blandishment of fortune should
beware of females small in stature, prepossessing
in appearance, wearing specs, pretending to the
possession of great wealth, and who pursue men in
carriages to effect their ruin.
Sad News from the West. The news by
the Overland mail, brought by telegraph a day or
two since, included some melanchofy tiding. from
the region known as Carson Valley, located in
western Utah, on the verge of California, and con
stituting the inchoate Territory of Nevada. The
cold in that quarter had been intense, and, to add
to the distress of the people, there was a scarcity
of provisions, consequent, no doubt, upon the great
rush thither of emigrants from California to
avail j
themselves of the silver and jrold mines.

BEGINNINGS AND
LARGE
RESULTS.
The Albany Statesman, in a leading article, tells
the following story:
"Twenty-three years ago we 'stuck typo' in tho
same galley, in the printing office of The New
Yorker, edited and published by Horace Greeley.
Gen. Wilkins Kendall, (the projector of the New
Orleans Picayune,) Morgan Bates, (we think since
a partner in the publication of the Detroit Adver
tiser,) O. A. Bowie, (who was a fcllow-approntica
with Greeley, and afterwards published a paper at
Little Falls,) stood at the case in the same office.
Bowie and Bates are now dead. Kendall is still
living, but has abandoned the editorial chair for
sheep raising on the plains of Texas. He left the
New Yorker office to commence the Picayune, hav
ing acquired the capital for that enterprise in a
wqy that would hardly be considered orthodox in a
moral community. Before leaving New York,
Kendall had 'tramped' the South as a jour printer;
traveled for information, as he said, through every
principij village and city in the Southern States,
sometimes on steamboats, sometimes on stage
coaches, (here was but one railroad in the South
then, from Charleston to Augusta,) and not un
frcquently on foot, with his baggage on his back,
pendant iu his handkerchief from his walking
stick. Sometimes he was 'flush' and well dressed
sometimes 'strapped' and seedy but always
witty, genial and gentlemanly. In his ventures
he has frcquantly been boon companion with many
of the most eminent neu of the couutry.
The Astor House then was but just opened, and
was extensively visited by Southerners. It was a
fashion with Kendall to patronize that establish
ment after working hours. Strolling over there
one evening, ho was agreeably surprised to meet
several gentlemen whom he had known, as, merch
ants, and lawyers, and doctors, ut Natchez, Miss.
After julips all round, and sherry cobbler apiece,
some one proposed to 'close the night' with a littlo
game of poker. Kendall had but about five dollars
in his watch fob, (there was no watch there,) but
he assented, among the rest, to the proposition.
Excusing himself for a few moments, he made a
rush down Ann street to the office, where he hoped
to find some of his fellow printers wih money to
lend. Bates, as foreman of the office, had been
detained, making up the forms. He had eight
dollars, and 'wo' (we were helping Bates) had two
hundred and seven cents. Kendall took the dol
lars, (leaving us the cents.) and thus made a purse
of 15. With this fund he sat down to play. The
play went on until daylight. , At 7 o'clock Ken
dall came into the office, paid up the 10 he had
borrowed, told Greeley he would give up his situa
tion, and asked all hands to partake of a 'pious
gorge' that afternoon. 'All hands' were but too
happy to do that same, and still more happy when
their fellow craftsman announced that he was the
fortunate possessor of 6700, won at the 'little
game of poker' aforesaid, and that with the $700
he proposed to establish a paper in New Orleans.
In due time the Picayune appeared was a success
winning reputation for Kendall as a polished
writer and a brilliant wit, aud what was better,
giving him a princely income. Ho has made
many a hair-breadth escape since that; was among
the Santa Fe prisoners, and given up as dead, but
afterwards released; he went through tho Mexican
war; has passed years in foreign travel, until satia
ted with enjoyment and the excitement of city
life, he retired to Texas, and is now master of
thousand of acres of land, and reckons more than
a hundred sheep, cattle and mules, as his individ
ual property.
But while the 15 made Mr Kendall's fortune,
999 other young men would, at a similar 'little
game of poker,' have lost their 915 and went to
their business next day with a "busting headache."
Will They Do It? It is to . be presumed it
is to be devoutly hoped that southern slave-holders,
who profess to entertain such abject abhorreneo
for northern abolitionists, will no more foreyer
hereafter, spend theii summers at northern water
ing places, and their money to enrich the enemies
of the south as they have hitherto done. If next
summer we shall see accounts of southern people
stopping st Niagara, Saratoga, Hall's Town, &c.,
we will at once say that tbey deserve the very
worst that northern cut-throats can send to injure
them in their property or in any other way. If a
single Southerner goes to sojourn at one of the
above named places, or to spend a week pleasuring
at the north, let him be spotted as being as bad as
Seward0r Giddings.
If the southern people have business at the
north, let them, by all means, go and attend to it,
but remain no longer than is necessary for that
particular purpose. We are opposed to disunion,
if it be possible to avoid it, and the non-intercourse
system, in our opinion, is the surest guaranty
against it. It will show the people of the north,
that the south can get along very well without thcin
even in the Union, and that, when the rights of
the south are properly respected friendship and
intccourse'wilj bo fully restored, and not before.

The White Slaves of the North. A sew-
ing
girl, named Susan Lee, complains bitterly
through the columns of a New York paper, of the
injustice and fraud practiced by the employers of
sewinggirls. The poor pittance tbey earn weekly
is lessened . by downright cheating, and it a girl
complains she is told to find work somewhere cL?c.
She thus describes the conditiou of her class:
j We, as every one knows, by thousand, in cold or
i heat, rain, snow or sleet, walk the streets early in
the morning to our work-place, carrying, perhaps,
! in an old newspaper, what we call our dinner, often
only bread, or at best a little cold meat, with bread
' and potatoes, and work from eight in the morning
' until five, and sometimes six o'clock in the even
; ing, (stopping only at noon to eat onr cold lunch,)
' for these men who have made and are making for
tunes from our labors; and who, besides stintinglj
paying us, talk to us as though we were what many
of them seem to be, brutes in human shape.
And here let me say our slavery, and that of tens
of thousands North, is far more miserable than is
that of the well fed, well clothed and well cared
for colored slaves of the South, whose sympathy
expressed for, even from the pulpits, and no doubt,
often, too, by the very men who oppress us, and
even cheat us out of our hard-earned shillings.
