Fond mother! imagine for moment that
beautiful diamond is placed in your hand,
on which will be required to engraye
sentiment which you will be read at the great
day Of account, in the presence Of listen
ing angels, and assembled worlds! What
care would you exercise, to select from the
vast commonwealth Of letters, a sentence,
pure, refined, chaste, holy! Remember,
then, that precious, innocent hearts, in all
the purity of childhood's delightful bloom,
are placed in your keeping, and the duty
Of engraving principles there, which will
outlive the sun, and still live, and live on
forever, devolyes upon you. These0i-
almonds, more precious than oriental pearls,
more costly than that sweet little star that
smiles the dying day to sleep, will soon
be removed from your hands, and locked
up in the archieves Of eternity! When all
nations shall be assembled in the eternal
world, then will it be unfolded, and some
swiftwinged angel, as he bends his loftiest
flight around the tree Of life, will catch the
echo Of your present instructions, and
with his golden trump pour them into the
ears Of numbered millions!

The True life.

The mere lapse of years is not life
TO cat drink, AID sleep; to be exposed to
darkness and light; to pace around the
mill Of habit and turn the wheel Of wealth;
to make reason our book-keeper, and
thought into elements Of trade this is not
life. In all this, but poor fraction of
consciousness of humanity is awakened,
and the sanctions still slumber which
make it most worth while to be. Knowl-
edge, love, truth, beauty, goodness, faith,
alone can give vitality to existence. The
laugh Of mirth, which yibrates through
the heart; the tears which freshen the dry
waters within; the music that brings
childhood back; the prayer that calls the
future near; the doubt which makes us
mediate; the death which startles us with
mystery; the hardship that forces us to
struggle; the anxiety that ends in trust
these are the nourishment of our natural
being.

!NHOSE knowing themselves indebted to the To-
i pa Capital Reporter, for subscription or adver
tisements, are respectfully reminded that the small
amounts Sevearlly due from them are highly neces
sary in order to enable the undersigned to embark
in some new business for livelihood. They are
therefore earnestly requested to be prepared the
coming of Mr.. GEO. w. GALLOWAY, our travelling
agent, and to settle with him in the true spirit OF
equity and amity.
The subscribers to the Reporter are so widely
scattered throughout this State that it will take
long time for Mr.. Galloway to make the tour to all
Of them, but he will call each in turn as soon as
possible during the ensuing season. In the mean
time, payment may be made, by remissions by mail
or otherwise to me in person at this this city, in
case of my absence, to either of successors, GAR
RET ID. PALMER Or GEO. PAUL, who are also auth
orized to receipt for dues in my name.
Those who are not prepared at the time to pay
the fuH amounts Of their dues, will be expected to
settle by note; though the advance price, $500 a
year in hand, viii be much more acceptable than
notes of hand at the highest rate for deferred pay
ments, on persons in different and remote parts OF
the State. AS misunderstanding may arise in some
cases, which would be readily reconciled could
tend to the matter in person, my agent has instruc-
tons to deal on the most liberal and amicGbe terms
with all who are sincerely DESTROYS of settling up.
Being determined that no just cause of COM
plant shall exist on my part, and hoping to meet
with reciprocal feeling and disposition in those
indebted TO me, the same liberal principle by which
my dealings with subscribers has thus far been reg
uated, will be observed in the final settlement of
accounts. They need hardly be reminded of the
importance of the small items due from EACH which
though separately insignificant, go to make up We

a large portion of the retired EDITORS substance

PROSPECTUS
OFTHE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER

TIE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire new dress,
Will IN future conduct it jointly Editors and Pro-
prieters, under the firm Of PALMER & PAUL.
The REPORTER win, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of soind Democratic doc
trlnes and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though legtimately resulting from never-changing,
lmmutable principes-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 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 as our party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar in their character and tendency, long do
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-
iormity to its established customs, for stations of
honor or proit-only so long as they truly reflect its
principles and show a disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital Importance to party, especially at the
present crisis, of straightforward, fearless and
efficient champion Of its and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government, must we
are persuaded, be too well understood and apprec-
ated, TO require any thing more than bare ausion
to it on this occasion. We are now on he eve 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 so vigor-
ousy adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton, for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comfortcd by inglori-
Gus, illy-dsgrsed and traitrous partizans at home
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
Of Iowa will evincc their appreciation of the consd-
erations 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 to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
provement in young and flourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinions shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens large.
News and observation-disclosures and Foreign
instructive and the amusing-win
receive their due share of space and attention keep
ing in view the fact that while ssvaricy is the spice
of ife it serves, in eminent degree, to give life
and zeSt to popular journal.
