PATHETIC. WiA the thermometer at SO, it is

A SISTERS PRAYER FOR AN ABSENT
BROTHER

Q God, be with the sailor boy
When the gentle breezes blow;
Be with him when by mighty winds
He's driven to and fro.
Be with him when, in distant cline,
He wanders far from me,
And safely guide him in the path
That leads TO Heaven and Thee.
Be with him ever, as he roams
Der the wide and trackless sea;
And guide him safely to his home,
The land of Liberty.
Oh guide my brother to his home
To cheer his Sisters lonely heart.
Too many and sad the days have been
Since he and | did part. c. p. S.

DUBUQUE:

The Mormon Vote.

Our readers will remember the rumors which
were current two years ago, in the southern part
Of the State, on the subject of the purchase of
the Mormon vote by Col. Fitz Henry Warren.
This subject came before the House of Repre-
sentatives committee on elections in their recent
investigations on the contested seat of this State
in that body.
Of course it could not be expected that the
criminals in this gross outrage, would consent to
enter into such detail ofcircumstances as would
infer their own guilt, but sufficient has been ELI
cited to prove beyond doubt or question that ru-
NOR was in this case the herald of truth
The following letter from Orson Hyde, the
President of the Mormon Church in Iowa, is in
dicative of the consideration which was to be
given on election day for the printing press cs-
tablishcd on the frontier:
BuRLlNGToN, Iowa, July 8, 1913.
Dear Friends and BrctArcn-
1t has seemed good unto me, your brother and
companion in tribulation, and counsellor in the
Church OF God, to advice and request you to cast
your votes, at the ensuing election, in the favor
of the whig candidates for office. This letter is
placed in the hands of COL F. II. Warren, who
will give you, or cause the same to be done, all
necessary information, how and when to act
a due respect for prosperity as people,
and tor the prosperity of the country at large,
has influenced me to give you the above coun-
sci, and with it give you the assurance of my
hearty good WILL and an interest in my prayers,
that Heavens blessing may rest upon you here,
and that his glory may be your reward swhere
the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary
are at rest. Your brother in Christ,
ORSON HYDE"
This same Hyde, previous to his recent set
ting out for the valley of the Salt Lake, address
ed an authoritative circular to his Mormon breth
rem in Iowa, commanding them in the name OF
the Lord to vote the Wing ticket
How has all this been accomplished and what
has the Wing party done to gather around them
such support
We may we'll imagine, but cannot describe the
infamy and vilany which lie concealed behind
this missivc.
Wings and Mormons united in the name OF
the Lord-and their union blessed by Orson
Hyde!!!
Loathsome union--disgus contact-un-
paralleled infamy-disgrace unprecedented.
Rather than be yoked in such an unholy union
we would invoke the calamities of the world to
seize and annihate us.
But what has this unholy union accomplished:
Defeat, defeat, defeat The Wing and Mormon
vote united, has accomplished nothing for the
interested parties. Blind infatuation of Wing.
gerry to unite thyself with Mormonism for the
sake of the loaves and fishes. Let the late de.
feat be a warning to Whiggcry how little conf.
dence should be placed in set of miscreants
who are willing to sell their birthright for mess
of pottage.

Tom COrwila.

We place the name of this individual at the
head of q few remarks by which we intend to
notice the rhapsody of a ST. Paul correspondent
of the Telegraph, in which some remarks of our
Washington correspondent form the subje of
comment
With the intellectual fitness Of Corwn for his
present station, we have nothing to say or do; it
matters but little what the qualifications Of the
head of the Treasury possesses, if he should
hold doctrines SO antagonistic to truth for his
guide, as those of the Wing party. All the
ability he may possess will only make him de-
viate the more from the truth. 1t was to his po-
litical morality that our correspondent objected,
and as further evidence of his unpatriotic course
during the late war, we need but refer to his
reasonable speech delivered at that eventful cri
sis. We give single extract which shews the
tenor of the whole as we'll us the political turpi-
tude of the man. -.
"While the American President can command
the army, thank Heaven | can command the
PURSE while the President, under the penal
ty of death can command your officers to pro-
coed: can tell them to COME BACK, or the Pre-
sident may SUPPLY them as he may He shall
have NO FUNDS from me, IN the prosecution of a
war which cannot approved" .~ -a. '"
Such is the man whom President Fillmore
has placed at the head of the Treasury, and
whom some rhapsodists are SO devoid Of patriot
ic sentiment, as to eulogise. The friends of
Corwin are welcome to whatever they can make
from his other qualities, the deep stain which at
taches to the character Of traitor, can never be
bleached from his political brow, t

Cold WATER VS.: LIGHTN1NG.-Mr. kitch-
en-, of Babylon, Illinois, was struck by lightning
few weeks since, and was left dead to all ex-
ternal appearance; but his wife, shrewd wo-
man, took bucket of cold water and poured it
on his breast, when he revived, and is now we'll.
The lightning struck him one side, taking the
hair from his head it went along, and burn
ing his face severely. 1t forked off on reaching
the external region Of his stomach, branch
running down each leg, and tearing his panta-
looms in its way. After this escape from de-
sruction, let no forget the efficiency of cold
water.
