Who rides so late through waste and wild?
It Is a father with his child ;
He hujrs his darling close in liie arm.
He holds him fast, he keeps him warm.
1 My son, why hide your face In your hands?"
1 See you not, father, where the Erlkiug stands-
The Erlkin stands with crown and train "
My -ou, it is a misty vein."
" Ton lovely child come go with me.
The prettiest plays I'll play with thee.
Many beautiful flowers aie on the shore.
My mother has garment a golden store."
" My father, my father, ami do you not hear,
What the Eilkini; whispers in iny ear?"
lie quiet, keep quiet, my child ;
The wind rushes the leaves so wild.
My fine hoy will you go with me?
My daughters .shall bear thee company
My daughters through the nightly dances
sweep,
They'll rock thee-and dance thee and v'mg
thee to sleep."
" My father, my father, do you not pee
The hrlkins'a daughters by that dead tiee?"
' My son, my son, I see it plain :
There dances the liht on the willows again."
" I love thee ! Tity beautiful form I desire,
If you are not v iliiug I'll take thee by fire."
" My father ! My father ! He siezes my arm !
The Erlking already has done me harm."
The father is frightened, he rides with speed.
Holding his boy ou his noble steed.
He leaches the farm-yard in fear and alarms.
His darling boy is dead in his arms.

Xew York Tribune.
Ilontce Greeley's noted interview
witn IJiigliaiu Young was reported by
Jiiinseit as follows. It to-.ik place in
1859. when Mr. Greeley was on his way
to California. It will he seen that
Young's replies give, in u condensed
form, the teachings of the Mormon
Church.
My friend, Dr. Dernhisel, M. C. took
mo this afternoon, by appointment, to
meet Drigham Young, President of the
Mormon Church, who had expressed a
willingness to receive me at 2 p. in.
We wtie very cordially welcomed at
the door by the President, who had led
us into the second story parlor of tlie
largest of his houses (he has three),
where I was introduced to Ileber C.
Kimball, Gen. Wells, Gen. Ferguson,
Albeit Cartington, Elias Smith, and
several o.iier leaning men in me nureii
Ii. Y. Yes, for the Jews; not for
others.
II. G. What is the position of your
church with respect to slavery?
B. Y. M'e consider it of Divine in
stitution, and not to be abolished until
the curse pronounced on Ham shall
have been removed from his descen
dants.
II. G. Are any shives now held in
this Territory? -Ii.
Y. There are.
Ii. G. Do your territorial laws up
hold slavery ?
15. Y. Those laws are printed you
can read for yourself. If slaves are
brought here by those who owned
them in the States, we do not favor
their escape from the service of those
owners.
II. G.-Ara I to infer that Utah, if
admitted as a member of the Federal
Union, will be a slave State?
Ii. Y. No; she will be a free State.
Slavery here would prove useless and
unprofitable. I regard it generally as
a curse to the masters. I myself hire
many laborers, and p3 fair wages; I
could not afford to own them. I can
do better than subject myself to aii
obligation to feed and clothe their
families, to provide and care for them
in sicknes and health. Utah is not
adapted to slave labor.
II. G. Let me now be enlightened
with regard more especially to your
church policy. I understand that you
require each member to pay over one
tenth of all he produces or earns to
the church.
Ii. Y. That is.a requirement of our
faith. There is no compulsion as to
the payment. Each member acts ;n j
the premises according to his pleasure,
under the dictates of his own con
science.
II. ti. M hat is done witii the pro
ceeds of this tithing?
Ii. Y. Part of it is devoted to build
ing temples and other places of wor
ship; part to helping the poor and
needy converts on their way to this
country, and the largest portion to the
support of the poor among tlie Saints.
II. G. Is none of it paid to Bishops
and other dignitaries of the church?
II. Y. Not one penny. No bishop,
no elder, no deacon or other church
officer, receives any compensation for
his oflicial services. A bishop is often
remureil to put ins liana in ins own
witli two full-grown sons of the Presi- pocket, and provide therefrom for the

dent. Aftersome unimportant conver
sation on general topics, I stated that
I hud come in quest of fuller knowl
edge respecting the doctrines and poli
cy of the Mormon Church, and would
like to ask some questions bearing di
rectly tin these, if there were no objec
tion. I're.-ident Young, avowing his
wiiiii. guess tu respond to all pertinent
inquiries, the conversation proceeded
suhs.untiully as follows:
II. G. Am I to regard Mormonism
(so-called) as a new religion, or as sim
ply a new development of Christianity ?
li. Y. We hold that there can "be r.o
true Christian church without a priest
hood directly commissioned by and in
immediate communication with the
Son of God and Saviour of mankind.
Mich a enuich is that ot tlie Lat er Day
Saints, called by tluir ene.nies Mor
mons. We know no other that even
pretends to have present and direct
revelation of God's will.
II. G. Then I am to understand that
you regard all other Churches profess
ing to be Christian as the Church of
Koine regards all churches not in com
munion with itself as schismatic, her
etical and out of tlie wav of salvation ?
Ii. Y. Yes, substantially.
II. G. Apart from this, in what res
pect do your doctrines differ essential
ly from those of our orthodox Protest
ant Churches the Bap.ist or Metho
dist for example?
I. a . We hold the doctrines of
Christianity as revealed in the Old and
New Testaments, also in the Book of
Mormon, which teaches the same car
dinal truths, and those only.
II. G. Do you believe in the doc
trine of the Trinitv?
B. Y. We do; but not exactly as it is
held by other 'churches. We believe in
the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, as equal, but nut identical not
as one person (being.) We believe in
all the Bible teaches us on this sub
ject. II. G. Do you believe in a personal
Devil, a distinct, conscious, spiritual
being, whose nature and acts are essen
tially malignant and evil?
13. Y.-We do.
II. G. Do you hold the doctrines of
eternal punishment?
B. Y. -We do; though perhaps not
exactly as other churches do. We be
lieve it its the Bible teaches it.
II. G. I understand that you regard
baptism by immersion as essential?
B. Y. We do.
II. G. Do you practice infant Bap
tism? li. Y. No.
II: G. Do you make removal to
these valleys obligatory on your con
verts? Ii. Y. The3' would consider them
selves aggrieved if they were not invi
ted hither. We hold to such a gather
ing in together of God'a people as the
Bible foretells, and that this is tlie
place, and no w is the time appointed for
its consummation.
II. G. The predictions to which you
refer have usually, I think, been under
stood to indicate Jerusalem (or Judea)
as the place of such gathering?
poor of his charge; but he neve receives
anything for his services.
II. (2. How then do your ministers
live?
B. Y. By the labor of their own
hands, like the first apostles. Every
bishop, every elder, may be seen at
work in the Held or tlie shop, like his
iieigM.ois ; every minister of tlie church
lias Ids proper calling, by which he
earns tlje bread of his family; he who
cannot or will not do the church's work
for nothing is not wanted in her ser
vice; even our lawyers (pointing to
Gen. r ergusou and another present,
who are the regular lawyers of the
church) are paid nothing for their
services; I am the only person iu the
church who has not a regular calling
apart from the church's service, and
I never received one farthing from
her n aniry;It I obtain anything from
the tithing house, I am charged with
and pay for it. just as any one else
would; the clerks in the tithing-store
are. paid like other clerks, but no one is
ever paid for any service pertaining to
the ministry. e think a man who
cannot make his living aside from the
ministry of Christ, unsuited to that
otiice. I am called rich, and consider
myself worth . 5250,000; but no dollar
of it w;:s ever paid me by the church,
or for any service as a minister of the
everlasting gosp?. I lost nearly all" I
had when we were broken up in Mis
souri, and driven from the Stale. I
was nearly stripped again when Jo
seph Smith was murdered, and we
were driven from Illinois; but noth
ing was ever made up to me by the
church, nor by any one. I believe I
know how to acquire property, and

II. G. Can you give me any ration
al explanation of the aversion and ha
tred with which your people are gener
ally regarded by those among whom
they have lived and with whom they
have been brought directly in contact?
B. II. No other explanation than is
afforded by the crucifition of Christ
and tlie kindred treatment of God's
ministers, prophets and saints in all
acres.
II. G. I know that a new sect is al
ways proscribed and traduced; that it
is hardly ever deemed respectable to
belong to opejthat the Baptists, Quak
ers. Methodists, Univcrsalists, etc..
have each in their turn been regarded,
in the infancy of their sect, as the off-
scouring of the earth ; yet I cannot re
member that either of them were ev
er generally represented and regarded
by the older sects of their early days
as thieves, robbers, murderers.

II. G. With regard, then to the
grave questions on which your doc
trines and practices are avowedly at
war with those of the Christian world
that of a plurality of wives is the
system of your church acceptable to
the majority of its women?
B. Y. They could not be more averse
to it than I was when it was first re
vealed to rae as the Divine will
think the3- generally accepted, as I do
the will of God.
II. G. How general is polygamy
among you?"
B. Y. I could not sav. Some of
those present (heads of the church)
have each but one wifj; others have
more; each determines what is his in
dividual duty.
II. G. What is the largest number
of wives belonging to any one man?
B. Y. I have fifteen; I know no one
who has more; but some of those seal
ed to me are old ladies whom I regard
rather as mothers than wives, but
whom I have taken home to cherish
and support.
II. G. Does not the Apostle Paul
say that a bishop should be a husband
of one wife?
Ii. Y. So we hold. W e do not re
gard any but a married man as fitted
for the olliee of bishop. But the Apos
tle does not forbid a bishop having
more wives than one.
II. G. Does not Christ say that he
who puts away his wife, or marries one
whom another has put away, commits
adultery ?
B. Y. Yes, and I hold that no man
should ever put away a wife except
for adultery not always even for that.
Such is my individual view of the mat
ter. I do not il ways say that wives
have never been put away in our
church, but that I do not approve of
their practice.
II. G. IIo.v do you regard what is
commonly termed the Christian Sab
bath? B. Y. As a divinely-appointed day
of rest. We enjoin all to rest from sec
ular labor on that day. We would
have no man enslaved to the Sabbath,
out we enjoin all to respect and enjoy
it.

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
Ciirusiied Wheat. Cracked wheat
on the breakfast tables of the best ho
tels is now the standard dish, ami it
figures largely on the table of many
families. When properly cooked not
made a mash of it's not only healthy
and nutritious, but decidedly palatable.
Many do not know how to cook it, and
hence spoil it in the attempt. But
our particular business just now is not
with "cracked" but with "crushed"
wheat. The whole grain is crushed in
such a manner as to retain all its par
ticles. Nothing is lost or shifted' out.'
It cooks more readily than the cracked
grain, has more gluten, and all tho
sweetness and flavor of the wheat. I
cook it just as I cook oatmeal ; having
a quart of boiling water on tho fire
stir in two handf uls of grain for each
quart of water; boil rapidly for twen
ty minutes, stirring frequently to pre
vent its adhering to the bottom of tho
kettle; then let it simmer over a slow
fire for ten minutes, covered tightly; I
like it better when cool; the gluteir
forms a jelly, and when moulded
makes a handsome dish for the table.

water and a clean brush; rub a litlr?

THE INDIAN COMMISSlOXERSniP.
There has for some lime been aii an
imated contest going on over the In
dian Coinmissioneiship. an office now
held by Hon. John Q. Smith of Ohio.
Mr. Smith is admitted to be an honest
man, but grave charges have been
made with respect to the administra
tion of our Indian affairs. It was gen
erally supposed that Mr. Smith would
have to step down and out, but it now
appears that lie will do nothing of the
kind. He proposes to remain, being
unwilling to become a scape-goat for
the offenses of others. But Secretary
of the Interior Schurz had serenely
made up his mind to give another man
Mr. Smith's place. So there came a
conflict. And it is now raging fiercely.
Smith is sustained by Secretary Sher
man, Gen. Garfield, and other strong
men of Ohio. The President and Sec
retary McCrary are personally friend
ly with him. Hence the upshot of the
matter is an additional war on the
Secretary of the Interior. I believe
this war is to become general, and that
it must necessarily result in the dis
comfiture and defeat of Mr. Schurz.
SECRETARY SCHURZ TO OO CP.
Schurz is, as I think, honestly desir-

j to the New York Advocate: Having"
j long used borax for various domestic
: and hygienic purposes, I have come tu
regard it a necessity. Housekeeper
who do not use it have something yet
to learn concerning a very convenient
and useful article. In the laundry it
is econo-iiicaJ, as it saves both labor
and soap, and is really cheaper than
the latter. For blankets and other
large articles it is especially valuable
and iu all cases the useof a little borax
will save half the labor when the .irti
cles are much soiled, while it is not in
jurious to tho clothes. It is perfectly ef
fectual in driving away red ants, cock
roaches, etc., if sprinkled around on
pantry shelves or put away in small
quantities on paper, and placed on tin
runways of the insects.
- Borax is also of great value for toi
let uses. For removing dandrufi ami
cleansing the hair it is unequaled. It
is tilso a good remedy for rough face
and chapped hands. Its application
to wounds, bruises, sores, sprains, etc..
proves very salutary, and is often tho
only remedy required, even in
severe cases. Indeed borax is ono of
tlie best remedies for many ailment
in our whoL hygiene, and for that rea
son alone should be kept ready for use
when wanted. That prepared by Smith
Brothers is the best, and can be obtain
ed of almost any grocer or druggist.
