10 THE LOST ONEs.

Wo were merry oil the day, mother,
Throughout the live.long day,
Our eyes were like the sunshine,
And or hearts were ever guy.
The wild bird in its native glen,
Sung not more loud and free,
Or warbled forth irver note,
Than sister Kate and me.
We rovcd beside tho stream, mother,
Old "Ponto," al our side,
And never dreamed Of the great world,
It's vani,ies md pride.
For she was oil the world 10 INC,
My laughing little mate,
And I-oh ], was all 10 her,
My loving sister Kate.
But few short years hive sped, mother,
Since that sweet time and now,
And I alone am lcft-to wear,
A shadow on my brow.
Yet would no. call you back, mother,
To this cold world nd me,
oh no. I'd rather 60 and sleep,
With sister Kate and thee. EGO.

a Wing, though not un ultra ono; aud ,l,a,
hare no desire to conceal this (act from
any portion Of the people Of The United

add, that il tho Wing party desire a, the
next Presidential election to cast their
votes Eur me, they must do il on their own
responsibility, mud without any pledges
from me. Should hc elected to Office,

ommsudation was not confined 10 the Wing
party. Mr.. Harlan, in nh address deliver
ed 1t this place soon afterwards, stated that
he had been influenced 10 that step By the
percussion Of some Of tho most prominent
Democrats Of the State. The reasons that
induces tho Wing party generally to vote
for Mr.. Harlan were, that they desired il
possible TO exclude politics from the qucs.
ton, they wished to have mans abilities
and not his political principles, qualify him
for the Office. Judge Mason was well
known 10 them as . partisan Locoioco. one
Of the wirc-workers Of the party, and we
venture the assertion, that had Mr.. IIarlas
been m avowcd Locofnco, the Wings as a
party would have rallied TO his support
sooner than have voted for such man ms
Judgs Mason. Why was il, we may be
permitted to inquire in return, that SO mn.
ny Of tho Locofocos supported Mr.. Harlan
for that office in preference to one Of the
most prominent mcn OF their own part,
II was because they did not wish to have
politics associated with the office. aud be-
cause they believed Mr.. Harlan the better
qualified to GIL the duties nppcrtaining 10
the Office. Mr.. Harlan was announced az
the .People's Candidate" because no was
cmphatically the candidate Of the people
although Wing, he claimed no votes upon
the score Of his political principles, nut mr.
gned and continues 10 maintain, TINT his
political predictions should have no con.
nec.ion nor bearing upon his elcc,ion.--
During the year that he has occupied the
oificc of Superintendent, he has discharged
the duties devolving upon him in such a
manner, TINT no one unncqnainted with his
political sentiments could possibly tell by
his acts to which Of the two grea, parties
he was attached.
The appeal to the voters of Iowa in be.
half Of his attachment, 10 the Methods,
Church nnd pecuniary des,ilu,ioa, we can
no, but regard rs STOPPING too low for a
man possessing the dignity of Thos. II
Benton, Jr.
in conclusion, as this il the last paper
that will reach many Of our subscribers
prior to the election, VIC would urge upon
the voters Of Iowa calm md dspassionaie
consideration Of the rcn,ivc merits Of the
two candidates, in connection with the fact
that Prof. Harlan is now, justly, rightly,
honestly md, no doubt, legally, entitled to
the office.

The scientific world have devoted much

nouuccd as on oblivious agent, so powerful
in its effects as 10 lall the nerves into re-
pose and inscnsiblity during the most pain
ful operation Of the surgeon, il was at once
seized upon by the medical faculty and es-
tcen'cd o blessing, superior to tho vast ma
joriiy Of those which science year BY year
is comforting upon community. There
we're many objections attending its appli-
cation; while some, from their pecuIinr
tcmpcraments, were almost proof against
its effects, others required Limitations Of
hours duration to experience the desired
result. Som cmpirics, by unskilItulncss
in the use Of this powerful agent, convert.
ed n medium Of good into an instrument Of
evil. They failed in its use and each fail.
