The Love OF Later Years.
1T BERNARD BARTON


They err who deem Loves brightest houf IN oiOonl
ing youth is known;
It's purest, tenderest, hottest power IN ai'er me -
shown,
When passions, chastened and subdued, 10 ripper
years are given,
And ca rth and earthly things viewed light that
breaks from Heaven.
It is not in the flush of youth, or days Of cloudiess
mirth,
We feel the tenderness and truth Of Loves devoted
worth;
Life then is like tranquil stream, which flows in
sunshine bright,
And objects mrrored in it to share its sparkl-
ing light.
IT'S when the bowling winds arise, that life Is like
the ocean,
whose mountain pillows brave the skies, dashed by
the storms commotion;
When lightning cleaves the murky cloud, and thun-
der bolts astound US,
IT'S then we feel our spirits bowed BY loneliness
Oh then, a. to the seaman's sight the beacon's
twinkling ray
surpasses far the lustre bright OF summers cloud
less day,
Fen such, to tried and wounded hearts in manhoods
darker years,
The gentle light true Love imparts, mid sorrows,
cares and tears.
It, beams on minds of joy bereft their refreshing
brightness fling,
And show that life has somewhat left to which their
hopes may cling;
II steals upon the sick At heart the desolae in SOUL
To bid their doubts and fears depart, and points
brighter goal.
II such be Loves triumphant power DER spirits
touched BY time,
OH who shall doubt its loveliest hour of happiness
sublime?
In youth tits like the meteors CLEAN which dazzles
and sweeps by
In after life its spendors seem linked witheternity

THE subscribers, having purchased the above NAM
ed establishment and put it in entire new dress,
will in future conduct it jointly, Editors and Pro-
priS.srs, under the firm of PALMER PAUL.
1le REPoRTER.will, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
Of State and National policy. These measures
though egitimately resulting from veI-changing,
mmutable principles-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their Charac-
ter; having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits aud burthens Of government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support Of the enlightened, just
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-money and other lead
ing measures Of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratic party. As long party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures sim
liar in their character and tendency, SO long do we
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore,
we consider ourselves pledged to the support Of in
dividual members of our party-brought out in con-
formty to its established customs, for stations of
honor or prot-ony long they truly reflt ct its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to our party, especially at the
present crisis, of straightforward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government must,
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci
ated, to require any thing more than bare alluson
to it on this OCCASION. We are now on the eve of
State and Presidential election, in both of which
various other subjects of vast importance to
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has so vigor-
ouSy adopted and successfully carried into execu-
tion for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by inglori-
Gus, lily disguised and traitrous partizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will evince their appreciation of the consid-
erations here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above will be the leading objects for
which we shall labor. the REPORTER will devote it
SELF with what of energy its conductors bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of inn
provement in young and fourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens at large
News and Literature-Domestic and Foreign

1THE undersigned has been duly appointed an
i Agent Of the Protection Insurance Compa-
ny of Hartford. Conn.,, at Iowa City, Iowa, and
is authorized to insure dwelling houses, stores
and ware houses, mills, manufactures. barns
stables and the contents of each, together with
every other similar species of property agar
loss or damage by fire. The rates OF prem, :.
offered are as low as those of any other simlIa,
institution, and every man has an opportunity.
for trifiing sum, to protect himself against the
ravages of this destructive element, which often
in single hour sweeps away the earnings Of
many years.
There are two situations, in either of which
the value of Fire Insurance can be adequately
appreciated, viz While standing upon the ruins
Of PERSONS own property. receiving from the
Insurance office the full amount which he has
lost; or standing upon the same spot surrounded
perhaps, BY destitute family, iamenting that
stupidity and folly which failed to provide
against such contingency.
