A REMARKABLE P03H.
The following poem entitled " Lifu"
was compiled by Mrs. Denting, (if Cali
forniii, by taking from thirty-eight differ
ent authors, one lino each. The figures
proceeding each line, with the note attlie
bottom, gives the original nuthor. It is
certainly it remarkable, production, and
one well worth reading :
LIFE.
1 Why all this toll for triumphs of an hour?
2 Life's a short summer, and man a flower.
'A liy turns we catch the vital breath and die
4 The cradle and the tomb, alas! so nigh.
tv To be is better far than not to be,
fi Though all man's life may seem a tragedy;
7 Hut light cares r.pcak when mighty griefs are
dumb
SThe bottom Is but shallow whence they come.
0 Your lot Is but Is hut the common lot of all ;
10 Unmingled joys, to no man here, befall.
11 Nature to each allots his proper sphere;
12 Fortune makes folly her peculiar care.
13 Custom does often reason overrule,
14 And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool;
15 Live well, how long or short, permit to heaven,
10 They who forgive most shall he most forgiven.
17 Sin may be clasped so close wo cannot see its
face
18 Vile intercourse where virtue lias not place.
1!) Then keep each passion down however dear,
20 Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear;
21 Her sensual snares let faithless pleasure lay,
22 With craft and skill to ruin and betray;
23 Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise,
24 Wo masters grow of all wc must des-pise.
25 O then, renounce that Impious self-esteem ;
2G Hic.hes have wings, and grandeur is a dream.
27 Think not ambition wise because 'tis brave,
2 The patli of glory leads but to the grave.
20 What Is ambition? 'tis a glorious cheat,
30 Only destructive to the brave and great.
31 What's all the gaudy glitter of a crown?
32 The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
33 How long we live, not years, but actions tell;
34 That man lives twice who lives the tlrst life well.
35 Make, then, while yet ye may, your God your
friend,
30 Whom Christians worship, yet not comprehend.
37 The trust that's given guard, and to yourself
be just;
38 F'or live we how we can, yet die we must.

Combat With an Anaconda.
AT THE earliest possible moment af
ter camp had been pitched, says
the late Captain Speke, a hunt was set
afoot, and Oaptaiu Grant, myself, and
some attendants, were soon making our
way to "the patch." There were no ani
mals there when wo arrived except a few
hippotami, and wo were therefore obliged
to await the coining of some more palata
ble game. Our patience, however, was
severely taxed, and after aJong delay, wo
were about to ''bag a hippopotamus,
when an attendant, perched in a tree
about half a mile distant, began waving
his blanket. This was a signal that game
was approaching. Wo immediately drew
into cover, and awaited the coming of the
latter.
Wc were not long delayed, for present
ly a long column of animals, front the
elephant to the hoo-doo, uppearcd in view,
trotting at a good pace to the river.
Their flanks were soon presented to us,
and each selecting his object fired. Mc
Coll shot a fine bufi'alo cow, whilst Onpt.
Grant was equally successful with a hoo
doo ; and several spears, cast by our at
tendants, stopped the career of one or
two different animals of the herd.
At this juncture, however, oecurred'an
unexpected adventure, that finished our
sport for at least that day.
I had sprung forward immediately af
ter firing, in order to obtain a fair shot at
a huge elephant, that I wanted to bring
down cm ttccount of his immenso tusks,
I got the desired aim, and pulled tho
trigger of my second barrel. At tho
moment of my doing so, a wild cry of
alarm uttered by one of the blacks, called
my attention. Glancing around, my eye
chanced to range up in the foliage of the
trees beneath which Oapt. Grant and my
self had lain several hours previous. My
feelings may possibly bo imagined, ns I
beheld an enormous boa-consticter, whoso
head and neck projected some distanco
into view, ready to make tho fatal spring.
His direction was certainly toward mo j
and as he flashed from his position like a
thunderbolt, I gave myself up, for ere
aid could reach me, the folds of tho mon
ster would have crushed my strong frame
into a quivering pulp. I felt seemingly
caught in a whirlwind of dust, and a
strange indescribable scuffle ensued.
In the midst of this strife I suddenly
became conscious of the prcscuco of a
second victim, and even after tho time
that has elapsed since them, I still recol
lect with what a vividness tho thought
shot across my mind, that this second
victim was Capt. Grant, my noblo com
panion. At last, after being whirled
about for several seconds, each second
seeming to be interminable, there ensued
a lull, a stillness as of death, and I open
ed my eyes, expecting to look upon those
unexplored landscapes which are seen on
ly in the country beyond tho tomb. In
stead of that, I saw Captain Grant level
ing his rifle towards me, while standing
beside him were the blacks, in every con
ceivable atitude of the most intense sus
pense.
But in a moment I comprehended all.
The huge serpent had struck a young
buffalo cow, between him and which I
had unluckily placed myself at the mo
ment of firing. A most singular good
fortune had attended me, however, for
instead of being crushed into a mangled
mass with tho unfortunate cow, my fore
arm only had been caught in between the
buffalo's body and a single fold of the
constrictor.
The limb laid just in front of the shoul
der, at the root of tho neck, and thus
had a soft bed of flesh into which it was
jammed, a3 it were by tho immense pres
sure of the serpent's body, so that it was
like iron in harness.
As I saw Grant about to shoot, a terror
possessed me, for if ho refrained I might
possibly escape after the boa released his
folds from the dead cow. But should he
fire and strike the reptile it would in its
convulsions crush or drag me to pieces.
Even as this idea came to me, I beheld
Grant pause, lie appeared to compre
hend all. He could seo how I was
situated, that I was still living, and that
my delivery depended on the will of the
constrictor. We could see every lino on
each other's faco, so close were we, and I
would have shouted or spoken, or even
whispered to him, had I dared. But the
boa's head was reared within a few inch
es of mine, and the wink of an eyelid
would perhaps settle my doom ; so I star
ed stared like a dead man, at Grant and
tho blacks.
Presently tho serpent began very grad
ually to relax his folds, and after tighten
ing them several times, as the crushed
buffalo quivered, he unwound one fold
entirely. Thus he paused. The next
iron-like band was the one that held uie
prisoner; as I felt it little by little unclasp
ing, my heart still with hope and fear.
" Oh, how hardly, how desperately I
struggled to command myself! I glanced
at Grant, and saw him handling his rifle
anxiously. I glanced at the serpent's
loathsome head, and saw its bright deadly
eyes, watching for the last signs of life in
its prey. Now, then, tho reptile loosened
its fold on my arm a hair's breadth, and
now a little more, until halt an inch sepa
rated my arm from its mottled skin. Tho
second fold was removed entirely, and the
next was casing. Should I dash away
now, or wait a more favorable moment?
I decided upon the former; and with
lightning speed, I bounded away toward
Grant, the crack of whose piece I heard
at tho instant.
For the first time in my life, I was thor
oughly overcome ; and sinking down, I
remained in asimi-conscious state several
hours. When I fully recovered, Grant
and tho overjoyed negroes held mo up,
and pointed out the boa, who was still
writhing in its death agonies. I shud
dered as I looked upon the effects of his
tremendous dying strength. For yards
around where ho lay, tho grass, bushes,
and saplings and everything except the
more fully grown trees, were cut clean off
as though they had been trimmed with a
scythe.
This monster measured fifty-one feet
two inches and a half in extreme length,
whilo round the thickest portion of its
body tho girth was nearly three feet ;
thus proving, I believe, to bo tho largest
serpent that was ever authentically heard
of.
When Ilortcnso died she gave the
engagement ring of her mother, tho Em
press Josephine, to her son, tho present
Emperor of France, making it a condi
tion that he should never put it on anoth
er hand than that of the future Empress
of tho French. The request was obeyed,
and Eugenic owns the ring.
SUNDAY READING.
For The Bloomfidd Time.
A Word with Rev. Jas. Harper, 1). D.
Mr. Editor In looking over tho ser
mon of llcv. Jas. Harper, I). 1)., found in
vol. 1, No. 0, of " Bloomfield Times," I
find some things which have a tendency to
mislead rather than hem fit the public.
He says, " Our text leads to three other
points," to tho second of which wo filo
some objections. It reads,
2d. " To things which the particular
church with which we arc in communion,
condemns and testifies against."
Wc object, 1st because tho " point"
recognizes a jduraliti of churches by di
vine riijld. And 2d. because it is a de
parture from the great fact established by
the Reformation of the lGth century,
(i. c.) " Tho Bible tho Biblo ALONT., "is
the religion of Protestants."
Now let U3 see what the Church j.
I'cv. Harper says: "according to the
book of Acts, it is " tho Church of God,
which ho purchased with his own blood."
Mark, sir, the Church is unity, if you
please, one Church and its vame one.
Now llcv. Harper was happy in his se
lection of the definition of what the
church is; but how can his 2nd point be
made to agree with it f Not more uiiier
cnt are day and night. Again, II. says,
" If he neglect to hear the church, etc.
(not the particular church with which
wo are in communion.) Here is the uni
ty again; the church not churches.
Christ established a church, and in His
last beautiful prayer, prays earnestly for
the oneness and unity of that church,
and any principal point which sanctions
the dismemberment of the " church" in
to sects and parties is radically crronioux,
and dangerously false. According to II.
these divisions are by " divine right," for
if not why should we obey the injunc
tions of those particular churches. Now
if Brigham Young as founder of poly
gamy enjoins a plurality of wives on his
followers, they must obey this particular
church with which they are in commun
ion. According to II. 's second point, Lu
ther committed a grievous error in object-
ins to the mountebank operations of
Tetzel. lie should have swallowed in
dulgence, tho Old Man of sin, and the
Old Mother Church with all her mum
vieries to bout. For hereby ho would
have showed his willingness to obey that
particular church."
If this point (2nd) is scripturally true
then those whom we consider martyrs for
the truth were only obstinate disobeyers
of the particular Old Mother Church
falsely so called. What can stand before
a point of this kind '(
Having thus briefly touched upon our
first objection we pass to our 2nd, which
is that it departs Irom tnc louuaatioa es
tablished by the glorious reformation, viz.
" the JJiblc alone is tlio religion
ol Tro
tcstants." Now, sir, who has a ri
ll t to
legislate for tho Church '( Manifestly
God alone. Christ says, " my word shall
judge you in the last day." Not the
words of Peter, or Paul, or Wesley or
Calvin Synod's Eldership, Presbytery's
Ecumenical Council, or tho Old Auti
Christ, kuowu as tho Pope. No ; Christ's
word is to judge us. Christ has a
" church which lie purchased with his
own precious blood" called in Acts, " the
church of God." He has given laws to
that church, and he claims the sole right
to legislate for it. We tiro only required
to obey Him. " My sheep heat my
voice," etc. His error arises from recog
nizing tho existing divisions of the pres
ent or any other ajro as the " church f
God." Sects date back to an early day
even to the Apostolic age. Even then
some were for Paul, some for Apollcs,
somo for Cephas and some for Christ.
Tho great Apostlo says, " Arc ye not car
nal and walk as men V These divisions
were evidence of this casualit-y. Tho
apostle knew nothing of obeying tho in
junctions of " these particular churches
in which you are in communion."
Divisions aro not of God.
Antisectakianism.
Msf A Few days since, when visiting
an extensive bed of iron ore, wc noticed
three workmen toiling together to break
off a portion of ore from a rocky mass.
Ono sat patiently holding an iron "bar in
an excavation, whilo tho others wcro
striking alternately with a heavy hammer
Slow very slow, seemed tho process as
the sluggish blows fell in monotonous
alternation, with no impression perccpt
adlo to the looker-on. But is nothing
effected ; A clance around shows that if
much remains to bo done, much has
already been accomplished. A consid
erable portion of the hill from which
tho ore is taken has been removed by
tho same patient, labor carried on for
many years, nnd a large annual profit
results from all this toil. A single blow
of the hammer or stroke of tho pick,
seems to effect nothing, but often repeat
ed, it removes a rocky hill. Is there not.
here a lesson for the ministry and the
Christian worker ? The work of Christ
seems at times to make little progress in
our hands, or particular efforts to fall.
Then must the attempt be repeated, if
possible, nnd tho labor go patiently on.
Tho task of reaching tho hearts of men,
is one that needs the preserving appli
cation of the bar, tho hammer and the
pick, so to speak, or whatsoever imple
ments God has given us. The towering
mountain which loomed up before the
apostles has certainly been much dimin
ished in its proportions during these long
centuries. Much, very much precious
metal has been dug out of the hard rock
of sin, in which it lay imbeded, and in
its turn been made the instrument of
developing the resource of Christ's King
dom. More precious, infinitely, than iron
in this treasure thus secured, nay, its
work excels that of silver or gold. Sure
ly, then, we may bo conteufc to labor on
in faith and hope, trusting at last to see
great treasures stored in Gols treasure
house though our patient toil, carried oa
day by day in His natno and strength.
A Hundred Years to Conic.
To day we aro striving, pushing, grasp
ing after wealth, honor, power and pleas
ure. The poor claim wealth that they
may be above want, the rich seek te add
to their countless thousands. So we are
rushing forward, reckoning not tho final
result of our probationary existence.
No one ever appears to think how soon
wc must sink into oblivion. A contrary
hence, and much we now see arouud us
will too have passed away. It is but the
repetition of life's story ; wo are born,
we live, we die. Think, then, of the
souls that aro above imperishable. The
souls of countless millions still exist ia
punishment or in bliss.
Sice Thing.
A venturesome Gentile of Salt Late
City, who married a Mormon wife, while
expressing a contempt for polygamy,
announces his dislike of the " blood atone
ment," which he thus describes : " Well,
these fellows get a grudge against a man.,
which they make out that he can't atone
for except with blood, and then some of
tho elders have a revelation that the
man's got to be put out of tho way, and
then they go for him. "Taint no use
then. The revelation docs the busine;-:
for him. Man's found dead, throat cut.
or something of that sort, and that's the
last of it. Nobody knows anything a
bout it, and if you catch 'em at it 'taint,
no use, they all stand by each other, ami
you can't hang ono of 'em no way.
Why, I said to my father-in-law ono day,
says I, " I s'pose if Old Brigham should
have a revelation that it was your duty
to cut iny throat, you'd do it, wouldn't
youi"'andhe said ' yes, if it was the
will of Heaven." Well, now, hang mc,
if it isn't a niccthing to go tobcdai
at night in such a family as that, with
your own father-in-law liable to have a
revelation at any time in the night to
get up and cut your throat, because it' r.
the will of Heaven."
A Lawyer as a llog
A certain lawyer was applied to for a
legal opinion by a poor neighbor, in
which the interests of tho latter were ma
terially involved . The lawyer finished
tho opinion and charged $5 for it.
" There is the money," said his client,
" and it's all I have in the world, and my
family has been a long time without
pork.'",
"Thank Heaven?" replied the lawyer,
my wife has never known tho want of
pork sinco the day when sho and I were
married."
" And never will," replied tho client,
" as long as she has a hog like you."
The attorney returned him his money.
What Becomes of Old Shoes
A contemporary answers this question
by stating that they aro cut up in small
pieces, and these are put for a couple o!
days in chloride of sulphur, which makes
tho leather very hard and brittle. After
this is effected, tho material is washed
with water, dried, ground to powder, and
mixed with some substance which make?
tho particles adhere together, as shellac,
good glue, or thick solution of gum. Is
is then pressed into moulds and ' shaped
into combs, buttons, knife-handles,, unu
many others articles.
