OVBR THE MOUNTAINS HIGH.
FROM THK NORWEGIAN OE RJORK3TJCR.SE
BJORM3OK.
What »Wt I se* if ever t m
Over the mountains high ?
Mow, I can see hat the peaks of snow,
Crowning the cliffs where the pine-trees
grow,
’■ailing «n44ongl*g to rise
Nearer the beckoning Okies.
The eagle is rising afar away
Orer the mountains high.
Rowing along in the radiant day
With Riighty strokes to hit distant prey.
Where he will, swooping downwards,
Whole he will, sailing onwards.
Apple-tree, longest thou not to go
Orer the mountains high ?
Gladly thou growest in summer's glow,
Patiently waiting through winter’s snow ;
Though birds ia thy branches swing.
Thou knowest not what they sing.
He who has twenty years longed to flee
Orer the mountains high—
He who beyond them never will see,
Bin tiler, -aud smaller, each year must be;
He heats what the birds ssy,
While on thy brows they play.
Birds, with your chattering, why did ye
ectno
Orer the mountains high 7
Beyond, in a Summer land ye could roam,
And nearer to heaven could build your home;
Why have ye come to bring
Longing, without your wing 7
Shall I, then, never, never ilea
Over the moantains high ?
Rocky \Calls, will ye alwnya be
Prisons until ye are tombs for me 7
Until X lie at your feet
Wrappod in tny winding sheet?
Away ! I will away, far away,
Over the mountains high !
Here, I am sinking lower each day,
Though my spirit has chosen the loftiest
way;
Let her in froedom fly ;
Not—beat on the walls and die !
Oneo, I know, I shall journey far
Over the mountains bigb.
Lord, is thy door already ajar?
Dear is tbo home wLero thy saved ones are;
But bar It awhile for me,
And help mo to loug for Thee.
Utah—Polygamy and the Social
Evil. —The Salt Lake Telegraph , in a
two column editorial, indignantly denies
the oft-repeated assertion that perfect
freedom of speech, politics, religion,
ete., is prohibited there. It says a man
can be anything he pleases; can go
with the majority or minority as suits
him best, hut if a man will abuse these
privileges, he must take the consequen
ces. It adds: “We will here state what
cannot be controverted, that our citizens
compose the only community in the
country which does thoroughly believe
in aud sustain the Good Book, the ex
cellent Constitution of these United
States, and every wholesome human law.
When a community arrives at that point,
it is able to stand, to endure. We do
not have the vanity to believe sincerely
and earnestly that our marriage doc.
trines are the purest and best on earth,
and that they are designed to rid a com
munity of that most fearlul of all lepro
sies—“the social evil,” and are capable
of coping with, and vanishing it too,
which is a feat that the statesmanship!
the civilization, and the Christianity ofthe
age, it is confessed by their prefessors,
are utterly unable to do, they are com
pletely overwhelmed by the evil, and are
as helpless in the midst of it as a tem
pest-tossed and a rudderless vessel in
the midst of the breakers.”
Clover. —The Central Georgian,
Saiidcrsville, Ga., one of our valued ex
changes, has recently introduced a dis
tinct agricultural department in its
columns—a feature which increases
greatly the interest of the paper to the
majority of its patrons. Hie new editor,
Col. H. D..Capers, says in regard to our
being able to grow clover and blue grass
in Middle Georgia : “Upon this subject,
there can be no dispute, when the de.
jnonstrations of facts, now existing in
Middle Georgia, are brought to the at
tention of the skeptical. In Newton
county, south of Athens, and in an air
line not more than fifty miles north of
this point, Red Clover is grown to great
profit. Let those who doubt call upon
Rev. Dr. Thomas, President of Emory
College, and see his clover field as luxu
riant and as producible as any in the
uplands of Virginia or Tennessee. The
park in Covington has it growing beau
tifully with blue grass.”
Music ik the Sunday School.—
Every superintendent and teacher knows
the value of music in the Sunday school.
It is one of its chief attractions, and
most profitable exercises. If you would
have your Sunday school well attended,
make its music attractive- If you would
have your Sunday school effectual as a
means of good, make its music efficient.
Song has peculiar power to reach the
heart aild arouse the feelings. All this
is, in some measure at least, understood,
and appreciated, and the problem, often
a difficult one, is how to make the music
what it should be.
No one means is more important to this
end than a good accompanying instru
ment. However excellent the leader
may be, he needs an instrument to help
him; and where the leade.r has not
much confidence in himself, an accom
panying instrument is of yet more im
portance. Such an instrument will
attract and iutenest the children ; will
induce them to try to sing, and render
it much easier for them to do so. It
will add vastly to the impressive ness of
the music : and, indeed, so great is its
value that no Sunday school which has
enjoyed the use of a good one will after
wards bo satisfied to do without it.
'Sensible. —The negroes of Dr. 0.
Early, of Memphis, returned to him last
week, and claimed and received their
former situation. Lured off by Bureau
agents, they stated that they had been
told they must work for a month,
which left them llio alternative to steal,
starve, or go back to their master,
