Among the Boulders

THE "MORMON" DOCTRINE OF DEITY. 255 Van Der Donckt has rushed into this discussion without being sufficiently informed concerning the doctrines upon which he un- dertakes to animadvert? [The closing paper of Elder Roberts, being too long for insertion in one number of the Era, has been divided, and the second division will appear in the March issue.—Editors.] AMONG THE BOULDERS. FOR THE ERA, BY LIVINSTON C ASHWORTH. Beneath this jutting crag, pond'rous and steep, Where narrow room scarce serves For human entrance, cautiously I creep, And scorn my timid nerves. How dreadful this rock hangs! in such fine poise Held to the mountain-side, As if, in mid-descent, some mighty Voice A sudden Halt! had cried. Oh, keen delight! a few brief hours to steal From worldly jars and shocks, To wander 'mid their dwellings, and to feel The spirit of the rocks. To clamber to their moss-decked summits—there, Lying in careless length, To lay one's hands upon them, and to share Their patience and their strength. Huge masses! relics of an age unknown, Rough-tumbled heap on heap. That from yon heights once torn came crashing down With many a fearful leap.
