BE Gentle with thy Wife.

Be gentle! for You little know
How many trials risei
Although 10 thee they may be small,
To her of giant size.
Dc gentle! lhnnsh pcrcliancc that lip
May speak murnurins tone.
The heart may beat with kindness yet,
And joy to be thine own.
Be gentle! weary hours of pain
Tis woman's lot TO bear:
Then yield her what support thou canst,
And all her surrOws share.
Dc gentle! for the noblest heaits
Al times may have some grief,
And even in pel,isi word
May seek TO find relief.
Be gentle for unkindness now
May rouse AN angry storm
That all the after years Of life
In vain may strive 10 calm.
Be gentle none are perfect
Thou'rt dearer far than life,
Then, husband bear and still iorbear--
Be gentle to thy wife.

A new feature in navigation is recogni

at Mineral Point, Wisconsin, destined for
California. She is to be taken overland to
Galena, there launched and foated down
the broad Mississippi.
Another schooner lying in the port Of
Chicago has up her card direct for Harana.
She goes via the Illinois and Michigan ca
nal. When she reaches the Illinois river
she takes on board load Of corn for New

aIowA AND IRIS REsouRcEs.'

A late number Of the ST. Louie Western
Journal contains an article eulogis.io Of
Dubuque, entitled as above. From this
unique predictions, evidently from the pen
of Dobuouer, we learn that tho most en-
citing project before the people Of Iowa j.
that Of a Railroad from Dubuque to keo-
kuk, and that there is also another project
Of Railroad from Dubuque to Council
Bluff! The writer also alludcs 10 another
project Of Railroad from the city Of Du-
buque TO Now York, via.the town Of Ga
lena.
We ENDURED with all seriousness fow
DAYS since Of one Of the soundest men OF
Dubuque, what was the general impression
in that place respecting the project Of
Railroad thence to Keokuk. With emile
hc very significantly replied, shat will do
to talk about"
The same article to which we nilude,
says, sIowa is as sensible ofthe Importance
Of public works rs any other State, but she
is too young, and her population too hete-
rogenoas, 10 have contemplated system
Of internal improvements" The Wings
contemplated just such system upon the
organization Of our State Government, but
the Locotocos were SO Heterogeneous"
and numerous wi,hsl, as TO defeat all efforts
made to advance the prosperity Of our State.
The Locofocos Of Iowa are "Jeflersoninn
Democrats" and any effort to keep pace
with the progress Of the age, or to advance
a step beyond the days ofThos. Jefferson is
deemed adverse to their creed. Hence q
prohibition is laid upon internal improve
ments.
