ent of the Journal of Commerce:
All Time! suspend awhile your flight,
Nor bear these hours so swift away
Hours, with such g~listning pleasures

And yet a little while delay.
There are enough OF those who weep,
To whom your leeting course is kind,
Onward with them in mercy sweepj

JONATHAN ON AN ENGLISH
RAILWAY.

We read lately of a live Yankee who
having gone to England, on business, as
matter of course took a ride on one Of the
excellent railroads in the Island, in Me
progress of which he, very naturally,
struck up a friendly conversation with a
cockney, TO whom he communicated in a
characteristic style some important inIor-
nation regarding the perfection Of science,
literature and art in the new world. 1t
happened that Jonathan had nearly X
hausled his stock Of wonders, when his
quick ear caught the sound of bell, which
was rung as a station signal.
Whats that hell rIngin' for ?" en-
CURED he of ms English friend.

"WeIl them kind of bell fxins does for

"!Ah, why nst?"
too smash. We should be smack through
a village before the noise OF the clapper
was in the neighborhood."
',You don't say !" exclaimed the aston
isbed Cockney.
Fact again, by thunder! Why, was

Whistles was first tried. Maybe you've
heard of the terrible accident? ?"
''Nonn
swell, sir, we were going it strong
Harrycanes we're no whar--all natur seem
ed shakin' TO pieces-when several miles
off something was seed on the track. The
whistle was let loose, and she did scream
awlully-but it was no manner OF use, for
afler tumbling over a span OF smart horses,
and a big market wagon, | was just ris-
ing from a pond, when along came the
whistler's boiler, mixed up with some big
curses / mind TO have heard the engine
man rip out when he first saw the wagon.
But the poor fellow was dead when his
voice arrived. Fact-got the documents"
Extraordinary !" exclaimed the hor-
rOr struck Cockney, 'and do you use Wis
ties yet?"
"BIess your soul, no. Congress stop

philosophic principle that light travels an

will do perhaps for this generation. We

tary, system, at first. When it was first
tried at night, the BOOSTERS on the road
commenced growing, and the chickens all

The cars suddenly stopped, when JOna-
than having arrived at the point Of his de-
barkalion, looked around at the bewilder-
ed Cockney, nodded his head, and with a
little carpet bag chucked under one arm &
umbrella under the other took his leave,

ter the unfeeling and obdurate manner in
which he had conducted himself, such an
appeal was unaccountable, for it was quite
evident he did not fear death, or repent
the deed he had committed. What threa-
tened torture could thus bend his harden
ed spirit. was at loss to conjecture.
Four men now approached and lifted up
the corpse. A similar number seized the
prisoner, while ten or twelve others app
preached with strong cords. In moment
/ understood the whole, as l saw him
dashed back to back, firmly, tightly, with
out the power to move, to the dead body
Of his victim. His cries were stopped BY
a sort Of gag, and, writing as he was, he,
with the body, was laid on the grating and
carried to the gangway. The crew mount
ed on the netting and up to the shouds.-
A few prayers from the Danish burial
service were read by chaplain on board,
and the dead and the living, the murderer
and his victim, were launched into etern;-
ty bound together!
As the dreadful burden separated the
clear waters, a sudden flash darted through
their clear Transparency, and general
shudder went round, as each one felt it
was the expectant shark that rushed for
ward for his prey. l caught glance Of
the living mans eye as he was falling; il
haunts me even at this moment: there was
more than agony in it!
We paused only for few moments, and
imagined we saw some blood stains rising
to the surface. Not one amongst us could
remain to see more. We turned and
sought to forget the stern and awe inspir-
ing punishment we had seen inflicted.
Of course, strange sights were related
as having appeared to the watches thai
night. For my part | can only say that
was glad when sudden breeze drove US
far away from the tragic scene.

PROSPECTUS
oFTHE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER,

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire dress,
will in future conduct it jointly, Editors and Pro-
prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER & PAUL.
The REPORTER viii, 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 Iegtimately resulting from nerer-changing,
immutable princples-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 and burthens Of government
We can conceive 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 as party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar IN their character and tendency, SO long do
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore
we consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
dlvidual members Of our party-bronght out in con-
formity to its established customs, for stations of
honor proit-only long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to party, especially at the
present crisis, of straight forward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government, must,
are persuaded, be too web understood and appreci-
aed, to require any thing than bare alIusion
10 it on this occasion. We now on he of
State and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy Of Iowa will, besides deciding upon
various other subjects of vast Importance to
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has vigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton. for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comfored by ingori-
Gus, lily disguised and traitrous partizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will eynce their appreciation of the consid
eratnns here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above will be the leading objects for
which shall labor. the REPORTER will devote it
self, with what of energy its conductors bring
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
proyement 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 Litcrature--Domesti and Foreign
Miscelany-the instructive and the amusing-wiH
receive their due share space and attention keep
ing in view the fact that while svariey is the spice
of fe,' it serves, in eminent degree, to give life
and zest to popular journal.
