HYMN. Ureal G<xl of nations, now to tliee Our hymn of gratitude we raise; With humble heart, and bending knee. We offer thee our song of praise. Thy name we bless, almighty God, Kor ail the kindness thou hast shown To this fair land the pilgrims trod— This land we fondly call our own. Here freedom spreads her banner wide, And casts her soft and hallow'd ray; Here thou our futhers' steps didst guide In safety through their daug'rous way. We praise thee that the gospel's light 1 Through all our land its radiance sheds; Dispels the shades of error's night. And heavenly blessings round us spreads. Great God, preserve us in thy fear; In danger still our guardian be; O, spread thy truth's bright precepts here; Let all the people worship thee. ttnaiiiiUßioig. Be Polite to All. ' Halloa, Limpy, the cars will start in a | minute; hurry up or we shall leave you be j hind!' i The ears were waiting at a station on one jof our Western railroads. The engine was puffing aud blowing; the baggage master j was busy with baggage and ebeeks; the . men were hurrying to and fro with chests and valises, packages and trunks. Men, j women and children were rushing for the : cars and hastily securing their seats, while J the locomotive pulled, and snorted, and blowed. A mafl carelessly dressed was standing on the platform of the depot. He was looking around him, and seemingly paid little attention to what was passing. It was j easy to see that he was lame. At a hasty I glance one might have supposed that he I was a man of neither wealth nor influence. ! I The conductor of the train gave him aeon | temptuous look, and slapping him fainiliar ! ly on the shoulder, he called out: j 'Halloa, Limpy, better get aboard or the t cars will leave you behind !' 'Time enough, I reckon/ replied the individual so roughly addressed, and he re tained his seemingly listless position. The last trunk was tumbled into the bag gage.ear. 'All aboard!' cried the conduc tor. 'Get on, Limpy/ said he as he passed the carelessly dressed lame man. The lame man made no reply. Just as the train was slowly moving away, he step ped on the platform of the last car, and walking in, quietly took a seat. The train moved on a few miles, when the conductor appeared at the door of the car where our friend was sitting. Passing along he soon discovered the stranger whom he had seen at the station. ' Hand out your money here !' 'I don't pay/ replied the lame man very quietly. ' Don't pay ?' ' Xo, sir.' ' We'll see about that. I shall put you j out at the next station !' and he seized the : vali.-e which was on the rack over the head ' of our friend. •Bofter not be so rough, young man/ re- j turned the stranger. The conductor released the carpet bag for a moment, and seeing he could do no more then, he passed on to collect the fare from the other passengers. As he stopped at a seat a few paces off, a gentleman who had heard the conversation just mentioned, looked up at the conductor and asked him: 'Do you know to whom you were speak- j ing just now?' ' Xo, sir.' • ' That was Peter Warburton, the Presi dent of the road.' 'Are you sure of that?' replied the con ductor, trying to conceal his agitation. ' 1 know him.' The color rose a little to the young man's face, but with a strong effort he controlled himself, and went on collecting his fare as usual. Meanwhile Mr. Warburton sat quietly in his seat. None of those who were near him could unravel the expression of hia countenance, nor tell what would be the next movement in the scene. And he—of what thought he? lie had hecn rudely treated; he had been unkindly taunted with the infirmity which had come perhaps through UQ fault uf fiis. lie could revenge himself if he chose. He could tell the di rectors the simple truth, and the young man would be deprived of his place at once. Should he do it? And yet, why should he care? He knew what he was worth. He knew how he had risen by his awn exertions THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1858. to the position he now held. When, a lit tle orange pedlar, he stood by the street crossing, he had many a rebuff. lie had outlived those days of hardship; he was respected now. Should he care for a stran ger's roughness or taunt? Those who sat near him waited curiously to see the end. Presently the conductor came back.— With a steady energy he walked up to Mr. Warburton's side. He took his books from his pocket, the bank bills, the tickets which he had collected, aud laid them in Mr. Warburton's hand. ' I resign my place, sir,' he said. The President looked over the accounts for a moment, then motioning to the vacant seat at his side, said : ' Sit down, sir, I would like to talk with you.' As the young man sat down, the Presi dent turned to him with a face in which was no angry feeling, and spoke to him in an undertone: 'My young friend, I have no revengeful feelings to gratify in this v matter; hut you have been very imprudent. Your manner, had it been thus to a stranger, would have been very injurious to the interests of the company. I might tell them of this, but I will not. By doing so I should throw you out of your situation, and you might find it difficult to get another. But in fu ture, remember to be polite to all whom you meet. You cannot judge of a man by the coat he wears, and even the poorest should be treated with civility. Take up your books, sir, I shall tell no oue of what has passed. If you change your course, nothing which has happened shall injure you. Your situation is still continued. Good morning, sir!' The train of cars swept on, as many a train had done before; hut within it a les son had been given and learned, and the purport of the lesson ran somewhat thus —DON'T JUDGE FROM APPEARANCES. The Swearer's Prayer, or His Oath Explained. What! a swearer pray? Yes, whether thou thickest so or not, each of thine oaths is a prayer —an appeal to the holy and al mightly God, whose name thou darest so impiously to take into thy lips. And what is it, thinkest thou, swearer, that thou dost call for, when the awful im precations damn and damnation, roll so fre quently from thy profane tongue? Trem ble swearer, while I tell thee !—thy prayers contains two parts : thou prayest first, that thou mayest be deprived of eternal happi ness; secondly that thou mayest be plunged into eternal misery. When, therefore, thou eallest for damna tion dost thou not, in fact, say as follows: " Oh, God! Thou hast power to punish xnc in hell forever, therefore let not my sins be forgiven! Let every oath that I have sworn, every lie that 1 have told, every Sabbath that I have broken, and all the sins that I have committed, either in thought, word or deed, rise up in judgement against me, and eternally cemdemn me! Let me never par take of thy salvation ! May my soul and body be deprived of all happiness both in this world and the world to come. 1 jet me never enjoy thy favor and thy friendship, and let me never enter into thy kingdom of heaven." This is the first of thy prayor. Let us hear the second. "Oh God, let me not only be shut out of heaven, but also shut me up in hell.— May all the members of my body be tor tured with inconceivable agony, and all the powers of my soul tormented with horror and despair, inexpressible and eternal! Let my dwelling be in blackness, and my companions accursed devils ! Pour down thy hottest anger; execute all thy wrath and curse upon me; arm and send forth all thy terrors against mo; in fine, let all thy fearful indignation rest upon me ! Be mine eternal enemy and plague; punish and torment me in hell for ever and ever, and ever !" Swearer, this is thy prayer! Oh, dread ful imprecation ! Oh, horrible ! horrible 1 most horrible ! Blaspheming man ! dost thou like thy petition? Art thou desirous of eternal torment? If so, swear on, swear hard. The more oaths the more misery, and, perhaps, the sooner thou mayest be in hell. Art thou shocked at this language ? Dost it harrow up thy soul? Does the very blood run cold in thy veins? Art thou convinced of the evil of profane swearing? Haw many times hast thou blasphemed the God of heaven ? How many times hast thou asked God to damn thee in the course of a year, a month, a day; nay, how many times in a single hour hast thou called for damnation ? Art thou not yet in hell ? Wonder, O heavens, and be astonished, O earth, at the goodness and suffering of that God, whose great name swearing persons so often and so awfully profane! Swearer, be thankful that God has not answered thy prayer, thy tremendous prayer, and that his mercy and patience have withheld the re quest of thy polluted lips! Never let him hear another oath from thy unhallowed tongue, lest it should be thy last expression upon earth, and thy swearing prayer should he answered in hell. Oh, let thine oaths be turned into supplications! Repent.and turn to Jesus, who died for swearers as well as for his murderers. And then, oh! then, (though thou mayest have sworn as many oaths as there are "stars in the heavens, and sands upon the sea-shore innumerable,") then thou shalt find, to thy eternal joy, that there is love enough iu his heart, aud merit sufficient in his blood, to pardon thy sins, and save thy soul forever. Swearer! canst thou ever again blaspheme such a God and Saviour as this? Hoes not thy conscience cry, God forbid! Even so, amen.— British Messenger. The Atlantic Cable. The report of Mr. Varley, the " Elec trician of the Electric aud International Telegraph Company," says the Baltimore American, pretty effectually dissipates what little hope might have remained that the Atlantic telegraph would recover from its present state of speechless inaction. "He finds a fault of great magnitude, at a distance of between 245 and 300 statute miles from Yalcntia," and possibly in wa ter of about 410 fathoms in depth. The cable, he is of opinion, yet remains un- broken, but the electrolytic decomposition, caused by the use of two powerful cur rents, will shortly eat away the gutta percha insulation surrounding the faulty place, and deprive it entirely of conducting pow er. He is satisfied also that there is an other " fault" more distant than this, the approximate locality of which he could not properly estimate without communica tion with Newfoundland. From authentic data shown him at Valentin, lie is also of opinion that there w&- a fault in the cable on board the Agamemnon before it was submerged, offering a resistance equal to 1,000 or 1,200 miles of cable, situated at a distance of about 500 miles from one end of the 1,200 mile coil, and supposed to be the fault which caused so much alarm when the ships were 500 miles from Ireland. If Mr. Varley is correct in these conclusions, we may be prepared to hear at any mo ment that signals have entirely ceased, and the cable become practically dumb, as it is already uselessly silent. Windfall to a Loafer. —A lazy fellow who had loafed about Columbia, California, for a long time, and had never done a day's work in the mines, was recently driven, by want of means to live, to obtain a pick and shovel and sally forth to try his fortune at gold digging. He worked with but little success for two days, but on the third he dug up a lump of gold, nearly pure, which weighed seventy two pounds. The lucky fellow took his piece to Wells, Fargo & Co., in Columbia, by whom it was valued at four teen thousand dollars! The place were this monstrous nugget was dug is within a mile or two of Columbia. Clergyman Murdered in Mississippi.— We learn that the llev. P. E. Green, Meth odist preacher in charge of the Warren county circuit, was shot at Montalbon on yesterday morning, by a man named Fisher. The wound is supposed to be mortal. — Fisher has fled. All we could hear of the cause of the shooting was that Fisher's wife had joined the church lately; and Fisher, meeting Mr. Green, abused him, terribly, and finally pulled out his pistol and shot him. We hope the miscreant will be apprehended and meet his just de serts. — Vicksburg Whig, 6 th. Suicide of a U. S- Soldier. —A United States soldier named Biekler, belonging to the permanent party at the Carlisle Bar racks, last week committed suicide by shoot ing himself in the head with a carbine. The unhappy man had of late been drink ing rather freely, and had in some manner lost a sum of money. On this account he became despondent, and it is thought this loss was the motive which induced him to commit self-destruction. Bickler was a German, had served about seven years in the army, and was accounted a good sol dier. W£.Take care of the spare moments. Army Life in Utah. SALT LAKE CITY, ) Utah Territory, August 31. j Dear Sir: Will you have a little news from this famous place; a little Army gos sip, and a little gossip about the saints ? Col. Waite, who has been in command of the fifth regiment, has just been reliev ed by the arrival of another officer, and has gone to New York State. Dr. Daily went with him. The Tenth regiment and the Fifth are encamped near each other. They are having rather a dull time, dril ling their men, and wishing the Mormons were—well no matter where. Living is very high and very poor with our Lltab ar my at present. Butter 75 cents a pound, milk 30 cents a quart, potatoes 40 cents a bushel, onions and beets. 6 cents apiece. So the military are not to be envied. They are acting policemen just now. They were sent out to punish traitors, but they are re ceiving all the punishment themselves. On the 25th of August the two Judges appointed by Mr. Buchanan left the Army camp to go to the town of Fillmore.— They called on Gen. Johnston for an es cort; he gave them two companies of drag goons. The Army camp is about to be moved a few miles, to a point where preparations are being made for winter. Huts are be ing built there of clay, in the shape of large bricks, and dried in the sun (adobe.) Each officer is to have a room 15 feet square, with walls 7 feet high; the earth for a floor, and perhaps Heaven for a ceil ing, in part, at least, for though a sort of roof will be made, it will be a holy one. The Mormons are at making the adobes; at least one hundred Mormons are now at work, and they have contracted to make one million and a half of them. Af ter they are completed the troops will move and it will take the soldiers a month to make their preparations tor winter. This war is a capital thing for the Mor mons ; they sell their vegetables, Ac., at their own price, pretty generally, (though every day an officer is detailed to attend to the prices of things brought to camp to sell,) then they require Mormons' prices for their labor, in short, it is a line thing for the Mormons to have the troops out here to eat all they want to sell. As to Hrighani, he fares sumptuously every day. His house is very fine; it is said to have cost sixty thousand dollars. On the cupola is a bee hive, beautifully carved in wood. In this house lie attends to business, receives visitors, and here re sides Mrs. Brighum No. 1. In the house next to this all the other Mrs. Brighams live—say fifty or sixty, and over the portico of this house is a large lion, carved from stone. The lion is finely done, and is in a recumbent position. Around these two houses is an immense wall, built of stone enclosing the entire square, (about as large as one of your Washington squares.) The gates are heavy and strong, like the sally port of a fort. Within this wall are always forty or fifty armed men. Brighani is quite a domestic man; perhaps he is a little afraid to go at large, and then lie has, no doubt, a fine society at home. He must be, liter ally, a lion at one of his wives' soirees. Salt Lake city is beautifully laid out and the approach to it is very fine. It is laid out in large squares, and the streets arc very wide; and every house has an acre of ground about it, which is well cultivated. The houses are all built of adobe. Every street has water running through it, cool spring water brought from the mountains. One of the officers met in Salt Lake city an old acquaintance, turned Mormon. The Mormon received the officer kindly, invited him to his house, was anxious to renew the old acquaintance, and even bore kindly the officer's laugh at that pile of stones, as the officer called the celebrated Echo canon defence of fhe 3lormons, raised to prevent the approach of our troops to the city. These defences could have been easily ta ken without the loss of a man. The view of Lake Utah from the Army camp is very fine; but thes is a miserable country, worthless without immigration. In short, it is only fit for Mormons. In passing Brigham's establishment to-day, from every window of the house, with the lion on it, a female face looked out. 1 long ed to step in ask those ladies what they thought of Utah ; but the armed Panites restrained my curiosity. Yours, PEREORINA. fSfM. Von Humboldt has celebrated his ninetioth birthday. An English cor respondent, writing from Berlin, says that never did a conqueror receive congratu lations fYorn so many persons and such great distanoes, as the post-boy had to carry on Tuesday morning to the well known house in the Orausionburger etrasse. Those who have been fortunate enough to enjoy a peep at the fifth volume of Cosmos, which is still under his hands, assert that neither in style nor contents does it, in the least, yield to the four volumes which preceded it. Humboldt himself, is said to be of opinion that he will die next spring, just after hav ing ©ompleted the last of his task he has undertaken. But his friends who observe him, speak differently, and are bold enough to predict that this time he will prove to be altogether in error, and that a very different celebration from that which he anticipates will next year take place in his house."

Hv a recent discovery of Professor Wood these articles are being fast dispensed with, but a great many persons still patronize them be cause they have been so often imposed upon by Hair Tonics of ditferent kinds. To all such persons we ear nestly make the request that they wilt try once again, for in Wood's Restorative there is no such thing us fail We know of a lady who was bald, who used the article a short time, and her head is now covered completely with the tiniest and most beautiful curls imaginable rt , know of numerous cases where hair was rapidly falling, out, which it restored in greater perfection than it ever had been before. It is also without doubt one of the best, articles for keeping the hair in good condition, making i: soft and glossy, removing dandruff, and has proved itself the greatest enemy to all the ills that hair is heir to. It is the duty of every one to improve their personal appear ance, tliou. h some may differ in regard to the ways of doing it; but evert one will admit that a beautiful head of hair, either in man or woman, is an object much to be desired, and there are no means that should be left un tried to obtain such a consideration. — Woman's -Idrocatr, Philadelphia.
