IFOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.]
To the Snow-Drop.*
Flower of the chill and icy spring,
So modest and so pale,
Ere yet the wintry hours take wing,
Thy early birth we hail;
As lone above the dreary scene,
Thou rearest thy tiny form,
The white-robed mourner of the green,
The sylphid of the storm.
Before the bright and cheering ray,
Thy lonely lot is east;
And ere the spring can yet be gjiy,
Thy transient bloom is past.
Yet the sweet flow’r! What summer race,
To vie with thee may dare—
Since all we prize of charm and grace
Are tiny things and fair!
And so the heart in youth’s gay hour
As vainly may approve
To weep thro’ life lor some lost flow’r,
Nor wish another love.
For thee the fairest of the year,
Shall sister Beauty sigh,
And parted loves shall drop a tear,
Above thy destiny.
And still the musing Bard shall turn,
Thy borders lone to tread ;
And oft in sunnier moments mourn.
Above thy bloomless bed.
For so the fairest joys are relt,
And ere life’s spring hath°run,
The lonely heart feels nothing left,
So dear as what is gone.
Oft may the parent Spring rejoice,
Above thy beauteous birth,
And oft may poesy’s sweet voice,
Revive thy modest worth.
Idon.
*Jn latitudes more Northern, from the middle of January
to the end ot February, the Snow-Drop is seen piercing the
snow, and waving in white blooms in the gale. The sin
gle and the double are equally prized ; and the mourner-like

is a grateful lirst-fruit offering ofthe year, to the eye ofthe
sensitive florist.
[WRITTEN FOR THE TIMES & SENTINEL.]
A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag.
THE RED VELVET BODDICE.
By Caroline Lee llentz.
CONCLUDED.
Mrs. Worth resumed her narrative. It would
be difficult to tell which was the most attentive
auditor, Estelle or Aunt Patty.
“I do not believe that it is possible fora young
lady to have a favorite article of dress, careless
ly, irretrievably ruined, without feeling conside
rable regret, hut it *s certain Nora manifested
no anger or vexation.”
“This is one of the disadvantages of being
small,” said she, folding up the unfortunate hod
dice, and laying on it one side, “if 1 was only of
a reasonable size this would not have happened.”
“Do you really forgive the author of this ca
lamity ?” asked St. Leger.
“To be sure, 1 do,” answered Nora, smiling.
“From your heart and soul?’’
“From my heart and soul.”
“I did not believe women capable of so much
magnanimity.”
“1 am sorry you have so poor an opinion of
our sex.”
“He has been travelling in Europe,” remark
ed Mr. Elmwood. “That accounts for it; be
sides, if he knew Miss Shirland as well as I do,
he would be as much surprised at any want of
magnanimity on her part, as he now is at its
manifestation.”
“Thank you, Mr. Elmwood,” said Nora em
phatically; “I value your praises, because I do not
deem them compliments.”
“And you should value mine, because they
arc compliments,” said St. Leger, smiling; “a
gentleman never takes the trouble to compli
ment a lady whom he does not wish to please.”
“As he believes that the only passport to her
favor, it is natural he should make use of it,”
repeated Nora bravely, though there was an ex
pression in her eye that satirized the language
of her lips.
“How can you remember all they said, moth
er?” questioned Estelle.
“I suppose it made a deeper impression on my
mind, on account of my anxiety on the subject,
t wanted Nora to marry a northern gentleman
and dwell among us. 1 was convinced that
Mr. Ehmvood was not a marrying man, and that
he was satisfied with the warm, pure friendship
that existed between them. I knew that St. Le
gor was fastidious and refined, and I feared
that in my partial judgment, I exaggerated the
winning qualities of Nora. I had penetration
enough to perceive that the equanimity of tem
per she showed with regard to her ruined bod
dice filled him with admiration and respect. It
was evident that his opinion of woman kind was
exalted. He was a keen observer, and those
who shrunk from scrutiny, did well to avoid the
glance of his dark and beaming eye. I thought
as their acquaintance deepened into intimacy,
that Nora avoided it, but not because she dread
ed its spirit-reading power. Her heart was
transparent, as its feelings were deep, like the
waters of a still lake, on a clear, summer day.”
Estelle smiled and looked at Aunt Patty as
much as to say, “mother relates a story charm
ingly—does she not?” and Aunt Patty’s nod
responded, “you know I always was a prosy be
ing, darling. My niece Emma used to scribble
poetry, before she married Mr. Worth.”
“As the autumn drew near,” continued Mrs.
Worth, “your Aunt Woodville coimnencd her
preparations to return to the south. She shud
dered at the idea of our cold northern winters,
but Nora said she longed for a merry sleigh ride,
when the ground was covered with snow, and
the moon made it, if possible, whiter still. We
all begged her to remain and the children gath
ered round her, with tears, entreating her not
to leave them.
“Perhaps I may return with the flowers of
spring,” said she, caressing them, “for dearly do
I love this genial northern home. I do not think,
however, I could bear the rigors of your wintry
season, with all my admiration ofits snow, icicles
and frost gems; she turned towards the window,
and looked earnestly at the trees, which were
gilded here and there with a golden leaf, and
here and there touched with flame. I thought
she looked very sad, and I wondered if St. Le-
ger had been awakening too cleep an interest in
her heart, without giving her his own in return.
They had been thrown so much together, in so
cial communion, there seemed such harmony of
thought and feeling, it appeared impossible, that
it their affections were disengaged they should
not meet and mingle.”
“Niece,” interrupted Aunt Patty, poising her
knitting needle, with a deliberate air, “are you
not making it too much of a love story, for such
a young thing as Estelle ?”
“Oh! no,” exclaimed Estelle, with blushing
eagerness, “1 like such stories better than any
other. I understand them too.”
“1 do not think there is any danger of the de
scription of the attachment of two such beings
as Nora and Bt. Leger,” said Mrs. Worth, “hav
ing any influence, but what is pure and good.-
\ oung as Estelle is, she is capable of sympa
thizing in the love which excellence inspires.—
That evening, when St. Leger came, the topic of
conversation was the approaching departure of
our friends. I watched his countenance, and
was sure a change came over it, while Nora’s
color rose. It was not long before we missed
them both- There is a very pleasant walk in
front of our house, you know, by that avenue
of poplar trees, which stretches beyond the gar
den. I saw glimpses of two figures walking
back and forth, and back again very slowly. It
was easy to distinguish the lofty form of St. Le
ger, in his dress of black, and any body could
tell who Nora was, so slight and airy she
looked, in the clear starlight, in her white mus
lin robe and black scarf, making such a striking
contrast. I think if 1 had counted the num
ber oi times they walked up and down that ave
nue, it could not have been less than a hundred.
The children had long been in bed, Aunt Patty
too, your Aunt Woodville retired to her cham
ber, and I remained alone in the parlor reading
Your farther, “Mrs. Worth never could mention
that name, without a glistening eye and a heaving
bosom.” Your father was absent from home,
and though my eyes were on the book, my
thoughts were wandering in pursuit of him. At
length Nora entered alone. She looked pale
and agitated, and I saw her hands tremble, as
she gathered the scarf more closely round her.
“Nora,” 1 exclaimed, “you have been too
long in the night air. Yon should not have done
so.”
She did not answer, hut stepping quietly for
ward, threw her arms round mo and laying her
head on my bosom, burst into tears. I felt I
strongly affected. Why should Nora weep?
All my air-castles were then blown to the ground
and i too wept over their ruins. In a few mo
ments Nora raised her head and wiped away her
tears.
“I am so foolish,” she cried, “but I could not
help it, my heart was so lull. Dear Mrs. \\ orlli,
lain so happy.”
“Happy, Nora!” a mass of lead was lifted
from my spirits. They rebounded at once.
“Oh yes, so happy, 1 have no language to ex
press my boundless contentment. That is the
right word, for I ask no more, than just the
blessing gained. Ii on understand me, do you not,
my own dear friend ?”
“I think, 1 know I do,” replied I, embracing
her with deep emotion. “You have gained the
heart ot St. Leger, you have given him j’our own
in return. There are not many such hearts, Nora.
Oh! you do well to prize it.’’
“I am not so happy, that I have won his heart,
priceless as I deem it,” replied Nora, with en- j
thusiasm, “as that I have given my own, oh ! |
there is far more happiness in loving than in be j
ing loved. I began to fear that my twin-born !
soul hat! wandered so far from my peculiar !
sphere, our diverging paths would never meet in
this world ; sometimes my heart felt dull, with j
the weight of its latent affections. I wondered |
why God had given me such capacities of loving
without sending mo a being to call them into
exercise. The very first time I met St. Leger,
tiie master chord of my heart vibrated and 1
knew then it would vibrate forever. But not
till this night was, I assured that the impression
was mutual, that I was loved as deeply and
passionately as the wants of my nature require,
oh ! it is the realization of a life long dream.”
“God bless you. dear Nora, ’ said I, “you de
serve to he happy and you will be so. But will
your parents consent to „uet. % will
they he willing to resign you ?”
“They prize my happiness more than their \
own,” she replied earnestly, “besides if 1 do I
marry Mr. St. Leger,’’ and she blushed crimson, j
as she said it, “we w ill pass all our winters at
the south and only our summers here. Will
not that be delightful ?’’
“But Mr. Elmwood!” I exclaimed.
“No one will rejoice more himself in my pros
pective happiness. lie is the most disinterested
of human beings. He knows my whole heart
and I all of his. If 1 were, in sorrow and trial
I would go to him for comfort. If 1 were
deserted by all else, I would be sure ofthe fideli
ty of his friendships, the steadfastness of his re
gard.”
“In less than a fortnight your Aunt Wood
ville left us and took Nora with her. It seemed
as if the sun were withdrawn from the sky, so
much brightness vanished with her. But she
came hack as she had said with the flowers of
spring, the happy wife of St. Leger. I do be
lieve she was happy if ever human being was,
for her dream of love was fully realized. He
was the type of all that is noble and glorious in
man, she, all that is amiable and excellent in wo
man.”
“Where do they live now, mother?” asked
Estelle. “Have l ever seen them ?”
“No, my dear, at first it was just as she had
planned. They spent their summers at the
north, their winters at the south, hut she gradual
ly drew him, without any exercise on her part,
to dwell in her milder latitude lie loved the
south, for the elements of his character are more
congenial with it, than the colder atmosphere of
New England. He has a tropic nature and ac
cident only gave him a bright place here. I
correspond with Nora still. 1 u ill read you some
of her letters, Estelle, they are the transcript of
a true woman’s heart.”
“Thank you, mother, but did Mr. Elmwood
marry ?”
my dear, he was born to be the friend
of man and woman kind, not to bo limited to
the domestic sphere.”
“There are some sensible men in the world,”
observed Aunt Patty, “and he is one ”
00“ “Hans Yorkel” has the following epigram,
in the last New Orleans Bulletin, in reference
to the nomination of U. S. Judge for this Cir

“To badger the bench every lawyer essays
And makes the attempt in various ways ;
But here, from the State with less law than of tar,
Behold shrewd effort sto “Badger” the bar.”

$ NUMBER 8
Mormon Marriage.
The Seer continues its exposition ot Celestial
Marriage, as it calls the marriage institution ot
the Mormon Church. We make the following
extracts:
When a man who has a wife teaches her the
law of God. as revealed to the ancient patriarchs,
and as manifested by new revelation, anil she
refuses to give her consent tor hnn to marry
another,'according to that law, then it becomes
necessary for her to state before the President
the! reasons why she withholds her consent. It
her reasons are suflicent and justifiable, and the
husband is found in the fault, or in transgressions
then he is not permitted to take any step in re
gard to obtaining another. But it ihe wife can
show no good reason why she refuses to comply
with the law which was given unto Sarah of old,
then it is lawful for her husband, if permitted
by revelation through the prophet, to be married
to others without her consent, and he will he
justified, and she will be condemned, because
she did not give them unto him, as Sarah gave
Hagar to Abraham, and as Rachel and Leah
gave Bilhah and Zilpah to their husband, Jacob.
It is the duty of a man who takes another
wife to look after her welfare and happiness,
and to provide for her the comforts of life the
same as for the first; for the Scripture, in speak
ing of such a man, says: “If he take him anoth
er wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of
marriage, shall he not diminish.’’ (Exodus
21, 10.)
There is no particular rule as regards the resi
dence of the different branches ol a family, it
is very frequently the case that they all reside
in the same dwelling, take hold unitedly,
and with the greatest cherfulness, ofthe different
hunches of household or domestic business, eat
ing at the same table, and kindly looking after
each othois welfare, while the greatest peace
and harmony prevail year after year. Their
children play and associate together, with the
greatest affection, as brothers and sisters; while
each mother apparently manifests as much kind
ness and tender regard for the children of others
as for her own. And, morning and evening,
when the husband calls together his family to
worship the Lord and call unon his name, they
all bow the knee, and, with the greatest union of
feeling, offer their devotions to the .Most High,
j It is sometimes the case that the husband
j provides for his wives separate habitations, as
I Jacob did for his four wives, each of whom had
a separate tent. (See Genesis, 31, 33.) Where
all the wives are equally faithful, the husband
generally endeavors to treat (hem all without
partiality.
Jealousy is an evil with which the saints in
Utah are but seldom troubled; it is an evil that
is not countenanced by either male or female;
ami, should any indulge such a passion, they
would bring a disgrace and reproach upon them
selves which they could not easily wipe away.
And, indeed, it is very rare that there are any
causes for jealousy, for the citizens of that Ter
ritory think more of their virtue than they do of
their lives. They know that, if they have any
connections out of the marriage convenant, they
not only forfeit their lives by the law of God,
hut they forfeit their salvation also. With such
views resting upon the minds of both old and
young, the people have the greatest confidence
in each other’s integrity; they can entrust their
wives and daughteas, without any distrust, to
the protection and care of their neighbors. Un
| dor the strict and rigid laws of virtue which pre
vail, and are carried into general practice, wives
I are not in constant fear of the inconstancy of
j their husbands ; parents are not fearful of their
j children being seduced and their characters be
| ing destroyed; neither are they,fearful that their
; children will form contracts of marriage with
out their consent; for such a tiling is not allowed
in the whole Territory. Such a state of things
actually existing, not in theory alone, but
in general practice, removes every cause for
jealousy, distrust and want of confidence, and
lays a broad and permanent foundation for peace
and union, il a man ill-treats any of his wives,
he is looked upon as having violated the law of
God, and it is difficult for him to recover
from the disgrace.
There are more quarrelings, and jealousies, and
disunions, and evil speakings, in one week
among ‘ l '-.„sand families, taken at random
any where in the t inted States or Ikngtanu, uni
would he seen throughout .all Utah Territory in
five years. And there is more unvirtuous con
duct practiced in one day in New York City, or
Buffalo, or Cincinnati or St. Louis, than would
he practiced in Utah in a thousand generations,
unless they greatly degenerated from their pres
ent standard of morals.
When a man and woman enter into matrimo
nial contracts and convenant to he each other’s
companion until death, they have claim upon
each other for this life only ; when death comes,
their marriage contracts and covenants expire;
and in the resurrection, however much they may
desire to enjoy themselves in all the endeaing
relationships of husband and wife, they will find
that their contracts am! eonveuants which were
made for time only, give them no title to each
other in eternity. Therefore, they will not he
permitted under any conditions whatever to live
together as husband and, wife. But can they not
renew their contracts and he married again in
that life? No; for Jesus says, “In the resur
rection they neither marry nor are given in mar
riage, hut are as the angels of God in heaven.”
(Mathew 22: 30.) Those who have not secur
ed their marriage for eternity in this life, can
never have it attended to hereafter; therefore, if
they should through fathfuluess even be saved,,
yet they would be no higher than the angels, and
would ho compelled to live separately and sing
ly, and consequently without posterity, and
would become servants to all eternity, for those
who are counted worthy to become kings and
priests, and who will receive thrones and king
doms, and an endless increase of prosperity, and
inherit a far more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory. Such will need myriads of servants as
their kingdoms and dominions increase; and
the numbers requisite will be found among those
who kept not tire higher law, but still rendered
themselves worthy of an inferior reward.
No uninspired man has authority from God to
join together the male and female in the marriage
convenant. Marriage is an ordinance of God,
and we read that “What God hath joined to
gether let no man put asunder.” (Matthew 19;
C.) Where man usurps authority to officiate in
the ordinance of God,and joins together the sexes
in marriage, such Unions are illegal in the sig ht
of God, though they may he legal according to
the laws and governments of men. The power
to officiate in the ordinances of God has not been
made upon the earth since the great apostasy,
until the present century. Something like
seventeen centuries have passed away since the
authority was lost on the eastern hemisphere
to administer in any ofthe ordinances of God.
During that long i period marriages have been
celebrated accord ngto the customs of human
governments, by uninspired men bolding no au
thority from God ; consequently, all their mar-
riages, like their baptisms, are illegal before the
Lord. Point out to us a husband and wife that
God has joined together from the second centu
ry of the Christian era until the nineteenth, if
any can. Such a phenomenon cannot be found
among the Christians or Jews, Mehometans or
Pagans. All are without prophets or inspired
men, all are, without divine authority: none
have had power to seal on earth the marriage
convenant that it might be sealed in heaven;
none during that long period have heard the
voice of the Lord commanding them to officiate
in (hose sacred ordinances.
Marriages, then, among all nations, though
legal according to the la. vs of men, have been
illegal according to the laws, authority, and in
stitutions of Heaven. All the children born
during that long period, though legitimate ac
cording to the customs and laws of nation, are
illegitimate according to the order and authority
of Heaven. ‘Those things which are performed
by the authority of men, God will overthrow
and destroy, and they will bo void and of no ef
fect in the day of the resurrection.
Tiie Emperor’s ml dress nnuonneins his marriage.
Messieurs I assent to the wish so often ex
pressed by the nation, and come to you to an
nounce my intended nuptials. The alliance
contract is not in accordance with the old politi
cal traditions, and therein lies Its advantage.
France, by its successive revolutions, has
ever abruptly severed herself from the rest of
Europe. Every enlightened government ought
to seek to h ad her hack within the pale of old
monarchies ; but this result will be more cer
tainly attained by a just and straighttroward
policy, and by an honestly of conduct more
than by a royal alliance, which create false se
curity, and often substitute family interests for
those ofthe nation at large. Besides, in this res
pect, examples for the past have left in the
spirit ofthe people superstitious feelings.
It is not forgotten that for seventy years for
eign princesses have ascended the steps of the
throne only to see their race dispersed and
proscribed by war or revolution.
Only one woman has seemed to bring hap
piness, to lire moie'than|othersin the affections
of the this woman, the modest and
good wite of Gen. Bonaparte, was not of royal
blood.
it must be admitted, however, that in 1810
the marriage ot Napoleon the first with Maria
Louise was a greatevent. It was a guaranty
tor the future, and a real satisfaction to the na
tional pride to see the ancient and illustrous
house of Austria, which had so long been at
war with us, solicit an alliance of the elected
chief ofthe new Empire.
How, on the other hand—under t he last
reign—had the an o irmapre of^-the countay to
suffer when the inheritor ofthe crown vainly
sought for several years to ally himself with a
Sovereign house, and obtained at length a
Princess, accomplished no doubt, but ofa se
cond rate rank and of a different religion.
V. lien, in the lace of old Europe, one is borne
by the force of new principles, to the height of
ancient dynasties, isnoi by by antiquating
ones escutcheon, and seeking to introduce
himself at any price into the family of kings,
that one makes himselt accepted. It is much
rather by always keeping ones origin in re
memberance, in {preserving ones own charac
ter, and sn taking frankly before Europe, a
position of parvenue—a glorious title when it
comes trom the free suffages of a great peo
ple.
‘i bus obliged t“ depart from Ihe precedents
followed even to the present day, my marriage
became to a private affair, and there remained
only to choose a person. She who has become
the object ot my preference is of high birth—
French in heart, by education and remember*
ance ot blood shed by her father for the cause
of the Empire She whom l have chosen has,
as a .Spaniard, the advantage of having no re
lative in France to whom it might be necessary
to give honors and dignitaries. Endowed with
all tiie qualities of soul, she will be an orna
ment to the throne, as in thejiays of danger
she would become one of its most courageous
supporters. A devout Catholic, she will ad
dress to Heaven the same prayers as myself
for the welfare ot France* Good and gracious
she will revive, I have a firm hope, the same
position of die virtues of the Empress Jose
phine.
1 come then. Messieurs, to say to France
that I have preferred a woman whom I love and
respect to any unknown lady, wi.ose alliance
would have brought advantages mingled with
sacrifices.
Without disdaining anyone, I yield to my
feelings; but alter having consulted my reason
and my convictions.
In short, in placing independence, the quali
fies of the heart, and family happiness, above

Getting Married.
The afternoon service had ended, and the
congregation were arranging themselves for
the benediction, when, to the great astonish
ment and manifest interest ofthe worshipers,
the good parson descended from Ihe pulpit to
ot matrimony will now if they please to come
forward.'*
A deep slillnes fell over the congregation,
broken only by the rustling of silk as some
pretty little girlorfexcited matron changed her
position, to catch the first view of the couple
to be married. No one, however, arose, or
seemed thejea-t inclined to arise. Where
upon, the worthy clergyman, deeming his first
notice unheard or misunderstood, repeated
the invitation.
“Let those wishing to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony now come forward ”
Still no one stirred. The silence became al
most audible, and a painful sense of the awk
wardness of the position was gradually spread
ing among those present, when a young gen
tleman who had occupied a vacant slip in the
broad aisle during service, slowly arose, and
deliberately walked to the foot of the altar. He
was good looking, and well dressed, but no
one knew him, and no female accompanied
his travels. When he arrived within a re
spectable distance of atheclergyman, he paus
ed, and with a reverent bow stepped to one side
ot the aisle, but neithers aid anything nor
seemed at ail disconcerted at the idea of get
ting married alone.
The clergyman looked anxiously around
for the bride—who he supposed was yet to ar
rive—and.at length remarked to the gentleman
in an under tone:
“The lady, sir, is dilatory.”
“Very, sir.”
“Had we not better postpone the ceremony
longer? ”
“I think not’ do you not suppose she will be
here soon t ”
“Me, sir,” said the astonished shepherd, “how
should 1 knowofyourlady’smovements? That
is a matter belonging to yourseli,”
Avery few moments more were suffered to
elapse in this unpleasant slate of expectancy,
when the clergyman removed his interrogato
ries :
‘ Did the lady promise to attend at the present
hour, sir?”
“What lady 1”
“What lady ! why the lady you are waiting
here for.”
“I did not hear her say anything about it,”
was the satisfactory response.
“Then, sir, may I ask why you are here, and
for what purpose you thus trifle in the
sanctuary of the Most High ? ” said the some
what enraged clerical.
•‘1 came, sir, simply because Tou invited all
those who wished to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to step forward, and I
happened to entertain such a wish ! I am very
sorry to have misunderstood you, sir, and wish
you a very good day.”
The benediction was uttered in a solemn
tone very little in accordance with the twitch
ing of the facial nerves; and when, after the
church was closed, the story got wind among
the congregation, more than one little girl re
gretted that her wishes had not been as boldly
expressed as the young gentleman’s, who had
really wished to be “unitedin the holy bonds
of matrimony.”
