HON
BY JOHN GREET.
There is spot, followed spot,
More precious far to thee,
Than all the "pomp and circumstance"
Of Ofearthborn majesty.
'Tis not that of the pyramid
Which lifts its towering head
Aloft, with mystic grandeur, midst
The cities of the dead.
II owns no seagirt capitol
Renowned for wealth and fame,
With poets Tyre or statesman's deed ;.
To cternize its name;
It boasts no mighty citadel,
Embattled tower or dome:
No, charms that yield superior joys
Surround the spot called "Home."
Sequestered though it be, and hid
From stern ambitions eye;
Though Phidias hath not made its shrine
With Grecian temples vie;
Though art hath ne er bestow'd d the dight
Which graced "ct.rnal Romc,"
There beanv deathless glory Ger
Ny spirits native home.
Home! tits the hearts Elysium,
The happiest spot of earth;
'Tis there mothers hallowcd smile
Gives kindliest impulse birth:
Nor aught, save death, shall ever tempt
My thoughts from thee to roam,
Or break the golden link, which binds
Ny spirit to its home.
B!cst sounl' what thrilling taleit breathee
In ma'n'ry's listening ear,
How boyhooi's sunny moments sped
Cnsullied with tear.
With master chord it wakes the charms
That deck'd nv native sky,
J'bs lnw,y c,t an purling rill,
Which bubblcd needless by;
The purple vineyard, which had ra' 'scd
For centuries its crest:
The landscape, which alternate owned
A sheen and russet vest;
The mrl,dics, which made each grove
A ministrelsy Of glee,
Compared with which all others are
But wild wool-notes to me.
The huge arm chair, beside the hearth,
The an lent voum, near,
From whence the sacred prccept camc
In accents sweet and clear;
The good, familiar clock, that click'd
With onken case so bright,
And seemed my lone companion through
The longest winter night:
The matin prayer, at once designed
To curb impatient youth,
Restrain the heart and point to paths
Of happiness and truth;
The kind rebuke, when folly babe
Ny weyws-d footsteps roam,
AMI themes that ever must cndear
Th. sanctuary home!
Each hath voice most eloquent,
Though others deem it mute,
And chords than which ne'er swecter
Aow'd
From seraph's tuneful lutte.
'Tis true no costly ornature
A:lorns that humble cot,
Yet it hath beauties which by me
Can never be forgot.

AsteHnpt mt Murder.

Ii is long while since we read any.
thing like the story of an attempt at muir.
der. which is narrated in ME Springfield
MissourD Advertiser.
John Russell was, i, is said, on his
return from Springfield TO Stone county,
neat the mouth of James River, when
he was overtaken by three villains, on
the road between Golfers old place and
the head of Crane, who eyinced dis
position TO stop his progress. He at
tempted TO escape from them. They
pursued, he got ahead of them and took
TO the woods. His horse gave out. and
he attempted to escape on foot. He was
overtaken, his throat cut, his pockets ri
fled, and his body was abandoned in a
ihicket, where il was supposed he would
die. But he survived until next morn.
ing, when one of the wre,ches returned
and cut his throa, again. lie ha6 crawl
ed to a road leading TO Kimberling's, be-
low Yoakum's mill, whittier he was
tracked by his blood.
Numbering was coming along just q,
the time, and the villain fed before he
finished his work. The irachea was cut
so as TO prevent articulation. He rode
Back to Berry's, got help and returned
as soon as possible. While he was
gone, the fend returned third time, and
told him that he should not live TO give
evidence against him. The poor fellow
had armed himself with knife, deter
mined to defend himself. He was stun
ned with blow from a rock. and his
own knife again used 30 cut his throat.
When kimberling returned IN few
minutes. he was removed to neighbour
ing house, where Mrs. Messenger stitch
ed up his horrible wound. SO that he was
able to give this information. II is said
that the poor fellow may get well. He
swallows water well and brea.hes thro'
the natutal oriice. He had but little
money and the scoundrels did not ge
that. lie gives this account Of himself
that he lived near the mouth of James
moved there las. fall from Franklin
county. in this State, and had a brothel
residing near the mouth of the James.
The desperadoes escaped, but the peo-
pie will hardly permit them 10 remain in

The River Convention.

In the excitement prevailing, in regard
TO Rail Roads and elections, the impor-
lance of attending the River Conven-
ton, TO be held a. Eddvyille on the 4,fl
of next month, should not DO overlooked.
The unusual number of trips made
by boats up the Dee Moines during the
past Spring, has only served to make
the people of tho Valley more deeply
feel she necessity of having unin.errup-
ted navigation, during the period that the
River would afford water enough for
boats, if il were clear of artificial OBJ
s,ructions.
During the last two years numerous
meetings of the citizens Of this Valley
have been held; resolutions have been
passed begging the proper officers to
clear the River Of artificial and natural
obssructions-(w which they never have
done, and in the even, of THEN failing
to comply with this reasonable request,
resolved to take the matter into their
own hands. But no arrangements were
ever made TO carry out wha. these meet
ings resolved to do, in the event of the
Board failing to do their duty.
We have referred to the past in order
that like oyersiphts NAV not occur here

Correction.

Mr.. WARDEN:--I observe in tho last
issue of your paper. that you alluded TO
the fact that our Supreme Court have
decided in favor of the legality of coun-
ties taking stock in Railroad corpora
tons. and that Williams, G. j., and
Kinney, j., aconcurred, and Green. J..
dissented, and for this you give me as
uthoriiy. While il is true that such
decision has been made. and that | ad
vised you, you are in error in saying that
Judge Green dissen.ed. l, was Judge
Kinney who dissented.
|. may be inferred from your editorial
that you also learned through me the
manner in which the question was pre-
senled to the Court.
/ am not advised what question the
Court had before il for decision. nor how
it came up. but only know from the
Clerk of the Court at Iowa City, tina, a
question has been presented, which de-
sermined the RICH. OF counties to take
stock in Railroad Companies. The
question may have come up as you state,
but whether you did or not. | am unad-
vised. Please make the above correc-
tons and much oblige yours, de-,

A Heavy Job for Hot Weather.
The Washington Union has been eut-
ting out work for itself. Our example,
in publishing the edict of political ex-
communication Illuminated against US by
the Union the other day. has been fol-
lowed by the Albany Argus, which ex-
presses its surprise and regret tina. the
edict did not include large number OF
journals in this State, quite as deserving
of such fate as the Buffalo Republic
or the Evening Post The Argus adds:
ave allude TO such prints as the AL
bany Atlas, Oswego Palladium, ST.
Lawrence Republican, a.. &c.. all Of
them as heretical aud hypocritical as the
Evening Post and Republic; and to such
partizans as are represented by those
