Beware of the Widow.
Tbe widow is :i dangerous thing,
With s* ft, black, siiiiimj; curls;
And iooke h more bewitching
Tuan a hivst of n ruing girls;
Her laugh is sodclicfc it. —
So knowing, dear, bes.de—
You'd neret dieem her thinking
Soon to become a bride.
Her dress, though made of sable.
Gives roundness to her form—
A touch of something thoughtful,
A vvi'ching, winning charm;
And when she sits down by you
With a quie', easy grace,
A tear may full unbidden.
Oi a smih light up her*'ice.
Her voice is sot', melodious,
And lute-like in is tone;
Slie sometimes sighs, “ ”1 is dreadful
To pass through life alone!”
Thep she'd tell you, you remind her
Os the loved one dead and gone;
Vo ir step, i our form, your icalurea—
Thus ine widow will run on.
Oh! listen, yet be careful,
Fur well sue play* her jart;
Her bps distil the nectar
That doth enslave the heart;
Be guarded, or she'll w in vou
With sighs, ami smiles, and tears,
And witcit you are safely wedded
She may hoi you silly ears!

The Mormons m America.
BV A SCOTTISH EMIGRANT.
In a former urt.cle, I described the migrations of the
Mormons from Ohio, Ac., to Lriah, and showed how
courageous, enterprising, and industrious they had
been, as the pioneers and founders of a peculiar, poii.i-
Co-tel gious nation
It tuts been more agreeable to me to record tbe epical
pari of the Mormon liis orv, than it will be to speak ol
the moral part. Ido not mean to say that Mormonism
incuica es, or perm ts, anything that is a • < ut ly im
moral; but tried by flirts ianny and the long estab
lished it-ages of Anglo-Saxon life, Monnouistn j<enatts
a coudioou of douestic economy which is absolu cly
opposed to all those nobler and holier ideas of family
winch we have been acctis ouied to revere and cherish
for ages as sacred. The Mormon Government, as 1 have
already said, is a Uk'kt.i ic democracy. It is a pure
theocracy as relates to the Mormons, who took the pre
caution to make it a democracy in o.dcr tli.it it may
control ihe geu .le ou siders. The otlices *>! the chnrcn
and .he civil oiticea iiave been so blended in the same
perso i, ilt.it, when a geitule is pur on trial, the bishop
of Urn cnurch, m h.s majeMei u c ipacii v, is his judge;
when a Mormon commi.s any b each of die law, it is
the bistiop, in h.s spiri.ual capacity, who aduuuisiers
church d.sciplme io him.
Tics iutiiu.ee union of the civil and oedemas’. ieai has
produced such a community ot interests in tbe sta e
and in the cntirch, that the revenues of the one are
f. eely and almost ludiscriininatciy voted lor the uses of
the o. her. Unless the Mormons maintain an immense |
majoi tty in the Sra*e, tins iciuueol iu li.icwi Clms i
tian.tv, ami Onectab.'in nt ide law, must pioduce di— j
c ird ut no drs ant day. The America:) citizen will not j

Tile rev euues ot .he Mortnou church are derived liona a :
svsiemot tiihuig similar to that ol the ancient Jew s. {
Each person, u t .oo the profession ot h.s tail), and con- ■

qmred to pay into the treasury of the Loid oue-*enth !
of ail ih ti tie produces, be-ides devoting one-iet.th ol
L s time to ihe budding ot bridges, tornung ol canals, j
laying down ot roads, and all such public works.
This s. s;etn of taxation, which in other ciicuuistan- t
ces would be considered enormous and oppressive, is
applied only m the members of the chuicn, attd the
revenue g e* nto tin cotters of thechmclt. The civil |
hind is imis . b a *.. on property, w hich appl.es to ■
bill ‘ saiui and ge-.iile. due general llliHle ol tai - j

of a mau's property.

rhitlnigs sterling per gallon, and whisky a: two pounds •
per gallon; the half ot which goes to the seller, and the }
c.htr half to the uii.holmes.
As an exa u;.de of the geueral prosperity of the Mor- i
:nui:>, not withsanding the heavy raxu.ii’ii to which i
they are subjected, it t recorded that, in lS4'd, it was j
proposed m e-tabiish an alms-house tor the destitu.e,
ttudacensua of tue indigent vvas taken, in order to es- j
“.mate what expense was necessary to do so, it was j
t aid that only wo persons in the whole community i
’ ie considered objects of public chanty, and ‘.he idea j
here.ore abandoned. The prusperty which lias J

The M.Billons acknowledge the Bible u-ed by Chris

t diey hold, is ot the same vliviue origin, and equally
: binding, as a rule of tnith aud prac.ice Besides, they
; claim to be specially and immedia ely enl ghtened by

■ in die “ ISiHik of Covenants and D.icir.nea,” and ai.-o
iby the pn.phecyings of his Micces-ors These “leve
i laiious’ relate uot only to mailers of taith and docirine,
! but also to tbe concerns ot every day life. The Mor
mons believe in die gift of miracles, and in healing of
ihe sick bv the laying on of hands by die elders ol the
church. Their mode of worship is similar to the sim
-1 pie mode practised in Scotland by the Freshvlerians,
j with the addition of an instrunien ul b .nd in the choir.

one wife, although that such was ihe tact was as Well

Tbe “spiritual wife ’ ays e:n is regulated in Mortnou
i dotn af.er this fashion, l! a man ouce uiained desires
to take u -ecoitd wife, he must iirsl obtain the consent
of her parents or guardians, and afterwards the approval
ol the -eer or presideiil, wi bout winch iLe matter could
not proceed. The woman is then “sealed’’ to him un
der the soien.n sanction ot the church, and stands in nil
lespecis in ihe same rela.ion to the man as li.- lirst

pertecily honorable and vinuou- one, according to
Moinion no: oas ot v r U: and honor; and ihe la iy

The Mormons indignantly repudiate all ideas of -en
soul i. v iu ih.s relation, she avowed object being to raise
up as rapidly as possible “a holy generation to the
Loid, who -hal! budd up liis kingdom on the ear.li.” —
Thev inculcate puriiy of life iu ail the domestic rela
tions; and their leaders haveofen avowed, that if they
po--e-sed .he uncom tollable jaiwer ot making their own
law-, they would puui.-h all dejaitiuie from chastity
nth death.
The seer, who alone has the power to sanction those
unions, has also ihe sole power to absolve par.ies fiom
ihein when he -ees tit so to do. This would seem a
very and tngerous power iu the hand- ot a licentious man.
It ha- b-c.i reuuded of Brigham Young, 1 cannot sa_v
wi h what degree ot truth, that upon he occasion of a
member bringing a beuiu.iul young woman before him,
to obtain his consent .o tiieir union, the prophet object
ed, upon the ground that it hud been revealed to him,
that he him-elt should matry the young lady The
member v icldcd obedience to the canons of tbe church,
and the i’aii saint was wedded to ihe swarthy seer. —
Next d.iv, i:i accordance vvi.h his {tower of spiritual
lawgiver, he absolved himself and the young g.rl from
tin- “-acred tie,” and then bestowed her on her first
i iver. I cannot vouch for .Le Hit li ol this state.nent;
bit it is not at all inconsistent with tbe nature ol the
rJa ion ship described; neither did Brigham Young
transcend hi- i .-cognised authority by th.s double act
of marriage and ab-olu imi.
Whatever may be said of the morality of this plurali
tv of wives, it cannot be denied that, contrary to ali ou r
preconceived opinions and expefoatio. -, jieuce, liiirino
uy. and cite!’: fulness v<i, to prevail amongst the fe
males I* is characteristic of tbe Mormons, however,
to conceal from the eve* of >he gentile- all that might
M-eni to prejudice their “church” in the eves of the]
world. Whatever tears, heari-btiruings, feelings olj
shame, offended modesty, and indignant til-gust, may j
be create 1 by ‘-his Oriental sy- tin or concubinage, niuv j
thereliire be studiously cuueenletl tiom tbe eyes ol ail
who are not ol the “ Mormon Zie.l.”
The Mormons give frequent parties, balls, and other
social re-u:iions, at which much apparent cordiality,
c leerfu’ness, and sisterly affection seem to prevail.—
B igham Young, with hi- numerous sjiouses, attends
those panics frequently, closing the j.’ioceeding-with
devotional services.
Tiie theologv aud morals of this singular comimu.ity
: render them aii met and separate people. Their gen

with evident advantage. To my most intelligent and
fwori v -ervaut, on the fifth morning of costivenc.-s, I
gav e half an hour before breakfast, a few moulhtiils of
broiled ham, made red with cayenne, a small well made
b. or cliieken, and half a cup of coffee, a dram of
biaiidj to sustain his stoii.ach ; which treatment acted
like a charm, causing a copious discharge in 4-> mitin es

wril as he ever felt. The ai row-root, being verv diges

once, twice or three times net day ; the laudiittum !o be
added or not, as preferred; but commonly best taken

in Cholera, it would doubtle-s be best to wear
lia .no! ; live on an ow-root, and be governed in severe
or chronic dysentery by the advice given for the trea’-
inentof *buf disease; I should sale, that though I
have seen many ca-es of collapse in Cholera, I have
never nan c!large of one, having preferred prevention to
cure, which made me very v igi'a it.

The Germans iu San Francisco.
There are about 5,000 Germans in San Francisco.—
They are of all classes, and from all putts ot Germany ;
from the mountains of the Tyrol to the delta of the
Weser, from the hills of Alsace to the sands of the Vis
tula. Many of them h ive long neen away from their
native land : some in the Uni’ed B.ales and others in
Spanish America and in the isles of the South Pacific.
A great many of the foreign merchants of Mexico, Chili,
Peru, and iu the provinces on the eastern coast ofSoudi
America, are Germans Germany has no foreign colo
nies, and yet there is not room tor all her citizens at
home. Tiie Spaniard* hav e a partiality for the Ger
man-; in former times Spain and Germany were united
under one emperor, tin* most powerful monarch of Eu
rope, and the associations connected with the history
of the Empire re ngrceaote. nut probably tne tr.a n
cau-e of i tie preference of the Spanish for the Germans
is that the latter possess no |H>liiie.d power out of the
continent of Europe, while the English, French and
American- are dangerous on account of their maratime
power a- well as of their grasping disposition.
Spuni-h America has been a kind of a paradise for
adventurous young German merchants, that wished to
sow their wild oa s avvav from home. Many of them,
ca'tered from Chili to Chihuahua, were attracted bv
the gold of California, and some of .hem are now among
our wealthiest citrons. This residence in Spanish
America accounts for the fluency and correctness wi.h
wh eh ia am of them sneak Spanish. The great ma
jority of the Germans in California intend to make .heir
permanent residence here. They are almost universal
republicans; nearly all become citizens; thev learn
Engl •-h readily, and they adopt American manners and
customs more readily than any other Europeans ftotn
the continent. The Germans here are very different us
a das- from those in the Atlantic 8 a es; there near y
all are mechanics and laborers, aud but few are well
educated, while here they are nearly all intelligent men.
They have several associations to keep up the memory
of the “ Vadcr!and.” Among the-e the Turn
or Gymnastic Union, is Ihe tits:. Ever since its forma
tion it has been in high favor with the German people.
It was started at a time when all popular gatherings
were forbidden by those who feared the inteichange ot
ideas among the people. Gymnastic exercises are part
ot the education of you h in Germany, and are even
held so legit that an Academy is there called a Gy:u ■a
litnu. When all other assemblages were forbidden,
those for gymnastic exercises were considered harmless j
and were permitted, but they soon became the schools j
of democratic principles which they have since so effec
tively propagated. The San Frunei-co Turn l • nis
in a very flourishing condition. The Sien;;<r Bun ,
singers band, is another popular Gentian association.—
The weal bier Germans, who desire to be exclusive, j
have a club. The ißaUchr Cuh possesses a valuable i
though not an extensive library, and has its rooms very
finely furnisqed.
The Germans of California have one newspaper, the
,N t.'at* Z tinny or Siutt Gn:<t for their organ. It ts
published every week day, is edited with spirit, and
lias considerable circulation. It is democratic in poli
tics. The Germans here, like their brethren in the j
Atlantic States, arc nearly all Democrats, but, being !
more intelligent, they do not carry their party spirit so
far. The infallibility of party nominations is it doctrine
in which they are in no hurry to believe, having seen
ton many facts which would not accord very well with j
mu.li a doctrine. San Francisco has a German theatre,
but is as yet only in its infancy. There is one German
school in the city. The German population is very or
derly and industrious. There s probably no class
among the people which has fewer representatives, in
ptoporrion, as offenders before ti.e courts, than the Ger
mans, ami they have very few or no gamblers among
their number. There are some occupations which they
neatlv monopolize; thus the inosi of the dealers in
t’gurs, initsiciai'S.and brewers in the city,are Germans.
The Union Band is compsi-.-d entirely of Germans. It
i> proposed to form a G vniaa military .-•< mpany, which
we would gladly see. Their military spirit, and their
i • V't tin rp* in every thing of this kind, enable ihein 1
to attain the thoroitgbne-’- of discipline in which they
have been unsurpassed ever since the time of Frederic
ihe Great.-- A'l<i Gu.i/r.. a.
Painted Statues.
Mr. Gibson, the lloyul Academican and distinguished
Sculptor at Rome, lati lv finished a fine slatue of Vtytus,
and ha- daringly ventured to impart a slight flesh tint
to the marble figure, while he colored tbe eyes blue, tl.e
hair yellow, aud the bolder of the drapery same deii
c. hue. .
This is said to be a revival of the antique taste; bn',
ii ever it was practised extensively among the ancients,
we consider it doubtful whether the fashion prevailed
during the purest period of Grecian art. There were
many corruptions among the Greek sculptors who came
to Italy; and ‘ll i- to tile chi—el of one of these emi
grants that we probably owe tbe statue of Diana, found
in Herculaneum, the ry of which was painted in
several place*. We do not recollect any other. Many
of the be-t critics deny that tins work was Grecian, and
attribute it to the Etruscans; yet, according to certain
indirect phrases of Plato, it seems likely this false taste
was introduced even at Athens
I; i- painful to learn that -o clever c sculptor as Mr.
Gibson is attempting to make it fashionable in Rome
If we want perfect imitation of nature, let us stick to
tue “waxworks.” Nothing can exceed the fidelity of
flesh, the brilliance of eye, the ltiseiousness of lip. the
pulpy fascination of cheek, that Madame Toussaud im
parts to the celebrated show in London. Still, we con
fess, Ihat vve should grieve to see Mil Gibson dwindle
info Madame TANARUS., or the Cytherean Venus degenerate
into a “sleeping beauty.”
The charm of statuary is its ihil influence. We do
i! : wish to he dfct'vel by the mere tacuity of inii'ation.
We long to be elevated by the sense ot grandeur or
best)uy which the sculptor does not incxrn.ite but petrify
in the marble that becomes plastic under tbe mastery
of his genius. Colored statues are well enough for the
wig makers and hair dressers. \\ e hope our galleries
wilt be spared the degradation of tiieir presence — Ba!-
