Il DIALOG UE

Il DIALOG UE
BETWEEN BRANDY AND THE CHOLERA.
Tell me, dread plague, why goest thou forth
Spreading dismay and death
From East to West, from South to North,
With pestiential breath?
Foul poisonous drug! charge me no more
With crimes of such excess;
My victims number many score,
But thine are numberless.
BRANDY.
That is not true, for have sure
Been often instrumentve,
With pepper to effect a cure,
also am preventive.
All, Brandy, thy untimely birth
Has caused perpetual tears,
While | have coursed around the earth
But twice in sixteen years
The rich, the poor, the young, the old,
Are crushed by thee each day,
While death and evils manifold,
Are strewed in thy pathway.
All many a widow thou hast made,
And many an orphan pair
On many a home hast cast shade
or darkness and despair.
So, Brandy, say no more to me
OF pestilential breath
A while, and will leave to thee
To do the work of death.

REAL COURTESY" This is real
courtesy" said Mr.. Giles, in his lecture on
Don Quixotte, "that which has reverence
for womanhood in the sex-the courtesy
which has respect for others than the rich,
than the young-it is distinct from the
courtesy which blooms only in the smiles
of love and beauty, and withers and cools
down in the atmosphere of poverty, age
and toll. Show me the man who can quit
the brilliant society of the young to listen
to The kindly voice OF age-who can hold
cheerful converse with one whom years
has deprived of charms ms-show me the
man who is as willing to help the deform-
ed who stands in need of help, as If the
blush of Helen mantled on her cheek
show me the man who would no more
look rudelv at the poor girl in the village
than at the elegant and well-dressed
ladv in the saloon--show me the man
who treats unprotected maidenhood as he
would the heiress, surrounded by the pow
erful protection of rank, riches and family
show me the man who abhors the liber-
tines gibe, who shuns as blasphemer,
the traducer of his mothers seX-Who
scorns as he would coward the ridiculer
of womanly foibles, or the exposer Of
womanly reputation-show me that man
who never forgets for an instant the deli,
cacy, the respect that is due to, woman as
woman, in any condition or class-show
me such man and you show be gen
uleman-nay, you show me better, you
show me true Christian. There are
some men who think that persons lose in
manners as they gain in liberty--one
grace belongs to the spirit of liberty, and
where the spirit of liberty is the most ac-
tive this grace prevails the most, with this
grace it expands-that grace is respect
for woman, not for her rank and elegance,
but for acon0m And when this sentiment
becomes enlarged, when it is stable,
social structure may be raised upon it
more glorious than mankind has ever
seen."

SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES.
Considerable sensation las been produ-
ced in Congress by the passage through
the House Of resolution introduced by
Mr.. Root, ofOhio, excluding slavery from

leo. An attempt was made to lay the res
olu,ioo on the table which was lost by a
vote Of so to lO7. The resolution was
then passed by vote Of lO7 to SO.
An analysis OF tho vote shows that only
nine members from the free States voted
against the resolution and, tina, they were oil
Locofocos, with the exception Of Mr.. Grams
ton, from r. l., who voted against it be-
cause no would not recognize the conquer
ed territory as belonging to the Union.--
Among the eight Locofocos from the free
States who voted against this resolution,
and consequently in favor Of the establish
lishmcnt Of Slavery in these territories.
was SHEPHERD LEFCLER, the Repre-
sentative in Congress Of this District Of
Iowa.
Comment is entirely unnecessary, he
has violated assevcrntinns made his constit-

tho confidence Of community. Should he
ever ngain solicit the suffrnges Of the peo-
pie Of Iowa, his course upon this question
