EX-GOVERNOR SLADE.

We had The pleasure of hearing this gen.
tleman in Iowa City and at this place. Al
both places his addresses were listned 10
profound attention by crowded audiences in
the most spacious rooms that could be pro-
cured. We have heard but one sentiment
expressed by most of those who have alien
ded his lectures, both as 10 their object and
matter. All were delighted and greatly ed
flied. His great objecI, and the object ofthe
Society with which he is connected, is 10
supply female teachers, every way compe-
tent, wherever they are needed in the west
The vast number Of adults unable 10 read or
write, as developed by the last census, has
awakened great interest among the benev
olent, both al the east and the west. and The
new society which has been established al
t,lhclhnail 10 supply the west with well quail
Ited teachers, so as to decrease the alarming
amount OF ignorance that exists: is one of
the most praiseworthy institutions of our
age.-S0melhing must be done TO educate
the masses; which will keep ADEQUATE peace
with our increasing population and our pbvs-
ical improvements or we shall soon have
monopoly Of learning on The one hand and a
monopoly of ignorance on the other. Our
citizens all over the State should feel some
pride in encouraging every effort that is
made 10 educate every child in Iowa, so that,
as far as we are concerned the next census
may not give so melancholy picture of our
ignorance as it probably will of some other
States. The Hon, VIM. SLADE has gained
many warm friends during his short stay a.
meng us. besides waking up a lively inter
esl toward giving proper moral as well as
intellectual training 10 the rising generation
Our schoollund properly applied, will give
good education 10 every child, and we are
happy TO see disposition manifested by the
people TO have it appropriated in the right
way-BUlington, (o.) Hauk-Ey.

Those who reside there have no country.
for without government or real ambition,
we cannot call such men country. And
tbs may he carried yet farther.
As you get TO the sunny cimes of the
South, you begin to find the men efieminaie
in person and weak in mind. Central Afri-
ca, both the Indies, indeed all countries with
in The tropics or very near TO Il tropical eli
mate, appear TO refuse body enough 10 man
t. supply him with mind.-We are fully per-
suaded that the people even of our South
ern States would degenerate greatly were
it not for ntermarrIage with those at the
North-lor recruiting nj the North, and fer
recruits from The North.
The women appear less degenerate than
the men in these countries, and for the first
few years OF their womanhood seem 10 have
both good spirits and 4 good constitution;
but both arc soon broken, and they became
old ana miserable at very carly age, AT an
age when our women at the North are bare

The proverb applied 10 part Of Spain;
cannot certainly be applied 10 them:
Ill carnc eS ycrOa, IN EcrDa aqua

which literally translated is: "The flesh is
grass, The grass is water the men are worn
en- and women are nothing"
We cannot say that The women OF the
South are nothing, for they are extremely
beautiful and lovely, but They are as evancs-
cent as southern sunset. Scarcely have
they reached maturity before they hasten TO
decay, and even the men, passionate and re-
vengelul though they be, have no fxedness
OF purpose, no stamina of mind and of the
body.
Man wants frost 10 harden the body, and
wants body to harden the mind; and we can
see il in cities where both men and woman
degenerate as they DO under a southern sky
for want of exercise and exposure. and so we
end this homily, by advising all, both men
and women no. TO fear the cold biting atmos-
phere, but 10 prevent both health & strength
and even beauty. by plentiful exercise and
exposure in the open air Rochester Adrer-

ERIN'S DAUGHTER.

BY MRS. L. II. sIGoURNEY
Poor Erin's daughter crossed tie main,
In youths unfolding prime,
A lot of servituGe TO bear
In this our western cline.
And when The drear heaIt-sickneSS came
Beneath stranger sky,
Tears on her nightly pillow lay,
Yet morning saw them dry
For still with cheerful hope she strove
Her distant home TO cheer,
And from her parents lift tie weight
Ofpoverty severe.
To whom with liberal hand she sent
Her all-her hard earned store
A rapture thrilling through her soul,
She ne'er had felt before.
Even mid her quiet slumbers gleam'd
A cabins lighted pane,
A. board with simple plenty crown'd
A lloyd and loving train.
And so her life of earnest toll
With secret Joy was blest,
For the sweet warmth Of filial love
Made sunshine in her breast
But bitter tidings DER the wave
With fearful echo sped;
Gaunt Canine DER her home had strobe,
And all were with the dead
AL gone he troihers in their glee,
Her sisters young and fair
And Erin's daughter how'd her down
In desolaie despair.-N. y. Com. Adr.
