Sunset in the Alps.

Anon the evening came, walking
noiselessly upon the mountains, and
shedding on the spirit not unpleasant
melancholy. The Alps seemed to
grow taller. Deep masses of shade
were projected from summit to summit
Pine forest, and green vale, and dash
ing torrent, and quiet hamlet, all re-
tired from view, as if they wished to-
go to sleep beneath the friendly shad-.
ows. A deep and reverent silence
stole over the Alps, as if the stiffness
of the armament had descended upon
them. Over all nature was shed this
spirit of quiet and profound tranquility.
Every tree was motionless. The MUIR
muir of the brook, the wing of the
bird, the creak of our diligence, the
voices of the postillion and condu cteur,
all felt the softening influence of that
hour. But mark what glory is this
which begins to burn upon the crest
of the snowy Alps First, there
comes flood of rosy light, and then a
deep bright crimson, like the ruby's
flash or the sapphire's blaze, and then
a circlet of flaming peaks stud the
horizon. 1t looks as if great confia-
grafton were about to begin. But
suddenly the light fades, and piles Of
cold, pale white rises above you.
You can scarce believe them to be the
same mountains. But, quick as light
ming, the fash comes again. A food
of glory rolls once more along their
summit. 1t is a last and mighty
blaze. You feel as if it were a
struggle for life--as if it were war
waged by the spirits of darkness
against these celestial forms. The
struggle is over the darkness has
prevailed. These mighty mountain
torches are extinguished one after one
and cold, CHASTITY piles of sepulchral
hue, which you SILVER to look up at,
and which remind you of the dead,
rise still and calm in the armament
above you. You feel relieved when
darkness interposes it's veil between
you and them. The night sets in,
deep, and calm, and beautiful, with
troops of stars overhead. The voice
of streams, all night long, fill the
silent hills with melodious echoes.

Beauty Of Forgiveness.

OF the many amiable traits that
decorate the human character, there
is none more desirable or lovely in its
effects than forgiving spirit" The
heart that relents not at the suffering
inflicted by stoical indifference, or re-
fuses to forgive the careless errors of
the penitent, who sues beseechingly
for pardon, must be not only adamant
but void, indeed, of all those nobler
qualities that God intended should ell
evate the souls of men. There is a
magical sweetness in the word forgire,
that implies all that is noble and gen.
erous And what high-souled gener-
osity it bespeaks as it falls from the
the lips of an injured, ay, broken
hearted one, who, scorning the more
ignoble spirit of revenge, seeks not to
return wrong, but calmly, nobly de-
clarcs forgiveness to the aggressor,
though he may be his veriest enemy
on earth.
But to present a picture not UNI
common mid the gay and fashionable
circles of life, let us look, for mo-
ment, upon yon erring youth, who
has scorned the kindly admonitions Of
a devoted parent, and has wandered
far from the path of duty. Amid his
career Of folly and dissipation, he is
awakened to sense Of his deviation
rom the paths Of honor and rectitude,
and in his better moments of reflection
he resolves to throw off the letters
that bind him to sin and dependency,

Messrs. Cheney & Bracket have this
week opened their new store in the
superb stone block which was erected
for them the past season. They are
fitting up their sales-room in very fine
style, and altogether have probably
a better and more convenient store
than is to be found elsewhere in North
ern Iowa. The building is three sto.
ries high, and built of the limestone,
or marble, obtained from the quarry
near this village, under the general SUI
perintendence of Mr.. !. Bracket, who
has charge of the quarry 1t is a
handsome, substantial building and an
ornament to the place. The carpenter
and joiner work was done. by NJ. 5.
Cole, of the firm of Cole and Heller,
builders and architects Of this village,
and we venture to say that it is as
good and handsome work as has been
executed by any carpenter in this VI
cinity.

Another DiSuniOn Movement.

+ A despatch from Richmond, Va,
dated Nov. 14th, says that the late
disunion manifesto Of r. Barnwcfl
Rhett has much more in it than what
appears upon its face. 1t is the pre-
cursor of series of ,disunion expert
ments which will now be rapidly nn-
folded here, and at other points, as the
plot thickens Il The latest experiment
deliberated upon is a coup d'dat for the
control of Mr.. Buchanan's administra-
ton or the defeat of his election and
if Jefferson Davis is not the master
spirit of this notable scheme, he may
be expected to profit. by it to the full
extent Of his powers, .s,,b ,.o n.
On the first Wednesday in Deem
Der, the Presidential Electors elected
to meet in the various, States, were
to cast their votes for President and
Vice President. In the interval it is
proposed to bring Mr.. Buchanan, by
by letter, up to the mark of the South
ern nullifiers, or to compass his defeat
by, giving a sufficient number Of the
democratic electoral votes of the South
to other candidates to throw the election
into the House. The nullifiers have
their fears of the northern democrats
elected to the next Congress in behalf
of Kansas as free State and from
recent disclosures from Lancaster,
they have their fears of Mr.. Buchanan
himself. Hence the desperate plan of
bringing Mr.. Buchanan to the mark,
or of defeating his election. The con-
spirators do not expect any salts
factory answer from Mr.. Buchanan
they do not desire it. Their object is
disunion and the spoils Of Southern
confederacy. They know that, in the
betrayal Of the people, by throwing
the election into the House they may
create an excitement which will re-
suit in the abrupt dissolution of Con-
gress, the suspension of the govern
ment, the sece ssion of the Southern
States in a body, and that bloody
Southern confederacy which is to be
the millennium of their hopes. The
late confidential meeting of Henry A..
Wise and his associate disdnion South
ern governor at Raleigh, you will dis
cover by and by involve something
more than treason and revolution in
the event of Fremont's election. il ,Ga

SELECT SCHOOL, understand that
select school is soon to be opened in
this town, in which the ornamental and
higher, as well as common English
branches will be taught. This intelli-
gence is highly gratifying. The dis
trict school is filled to repletion, there
being about one hundred scholars in
attendance, altogether too many for
both teacher and pupil, and no doubt
many parents would prefer sending
their scholars toa school where better
advantages are afforded than can pos
sibly be found in a school so excess
sively crowded. a r /

An Odd WAGER.

A singular election bet was made
some weeks ago between Maj Ben
Perley Poor of Newbryport, the
American candidate for Congress il
the sixth district, and Col. II. I. Bur
bank of Boston. The wage consisted
of barrel of Apples which the defeat
ed party was to place upon a wheel
barrow and trundle himself by hand
from his own residence to that of the
other, b distance of thirty six miles
Major Poor is a Filore man and Col
Burbank was for Fremont. The bet
was upon the vote of Massachusetts
Major Poor being defeated set out al
once for Boston with his wheclbarrow
and barrel of apples. Arriving al
Charlestown, he was met by a large
military turnout and vast concourse
of citzens who escorted him to the
fremont House, Boston, where mag.
.niiieent repast had been prepared for
him and numerous invited guests by
the successful Col. Burbank. On the
arrival of the procession and the
apples Col. Burbank received Major
Poor in very handsome manner, to
which the Major responded in neat
and appropriate speech. The whole
affair, procession, speeches, dinner, &C.,
is said to have formed one of the
grandest receptions of the season.
Below is a synopsis of Major Poor's
speech a
At the fremont House, Major Poor
mounted on the top of his barrel OF
apples, and in the presence of a dense
mass of Fillmore Americans, without
distinction, in very pithy address
presented them ar apples" to Col.
Burbank. 49,. n. .,. . r...
, He said that he had made a rash
bet, but he had paid it faithfully. lie
trusted that the stake would never
prove apples of discord" between
himself and the Colonel. From the
first he felt somewhat discouraged,
as his orchard evinced little dispo.
sition to bear largely this year.
There was variety of apples in
the barrel among them King apples,
from an imported stock there was
also the Fall Sweet apple, which per-
haps would remind him of the feelings
of some of his political associates at
the present time. '@
There were also ounces, which,
though tasteless, would give a SAVIOR
to the whole. He had redeemed his
pledge by wheeling them SO l-2miles
He trusted that whether in the
Legislative halls, at the bar which he
adorned, at the head of the gallant
LIST Regiment which cherished him as
commander, or in the society OF the
gentle sex by which he was esteemed,
one of whose number had made apples
famous, he would ever prove as fortu-
nate as he had in this wager. e."

Snow SroRM-A severe snow story

Snow STORM. severe snow storm
prevailed in this region on Tuesday.
The snow fell to a depth of six or eight
inches, had it been permitted to lie
quietly, but the wind blew perfect
gale from the northeast and piled it
into miniature mountains, rendering
the roads impossible in some places,
and for the time making all efforts at
migration exceedingly inconvenient
and uncomfortable. To-day Thurs

cheerful as if nothing had happened

and exhibit that noblencss of soul
which his past waywardness has
hitherto excluded from view. Now he
is retracing his steps homcward, while
his heart knows but one desire--to
throw himself at the feet of his sire,
and there, in trembling accents, plead,
till the smile of forgiveness rests upon
his fathers face. TITS true the weight
grows heavier upon his heart as he APP
proaches his childhood's home, and
anxious fears intrude yet his prayer
ascends to Heaven that "all will be
well )" and, impelled by motives the
strongest, the purest, he hurries on
ward. N x
Soon lettering form rises to view,
which he recognizes to be his father,
occupying a favorite retreat in the old
familiar domains, and apparently en-
crossed with his own thoughts but
see he has already caught the sound
of the footstep, and as if intuitively)
he looks up his eye falls upon the
wayward youth, and he recognizes
his long lost son-the wild boy still
dear to his heart
Think you, kind reader, that fathers
heart remains untouched--implacable ?
No, not cannot be thus ; for see,
he rises to meet his son, who falls in
to his arms, while his heart is too full
for utterance, save, Forgive! for
girc :" "
The tears course freely down that
old mans furrowed cheek, while, in
the fullness of his heart, he exclaims,
Welcome, my boy-thy fathers
forgiveness rests with thee Wei.
come, thrice welcome to the home OF
thy youth and to thy fathers heart
And let the past be forgotten the
present we'll welcome, and for the
future we'll hope !"
Imagine the unutterable JOY that
pervads that youths heart, as he is
once more restored to his parents love
and confidence. nag.E -# .
But how truly is the beauty Of for
gireness exemplifed in the character of
our immaculate Savior Even amid
| Tue agony vi Vic ClOoo, uio AC"ic was
teeming with kindness. He rebuked
not his prosecutors ; warm and tender
emotions glowed in the smiles that
lighted his celestial face while, with
eyes raised in pity to his Father in
heaven, he exclaimed, r ...,.. ...
Father, forg;re them, for they
know not what they do !" s..n aa
Are not all the Christian graces en-
anating from forgiving spirit exhib-
tied in this striking example? And
are we not, too, invoked to forgiveness
throughout the pages Of the, sacred
volume Surely the decree has been
uttered, Unless We forgive, We cannot
hope for forgiveness" o if there is
aught in the human heart that fits the
soul for the pure regions of heaven
spirit that generates in the heart OF
man sentiments of affection for his
brother-man, tits spirit of forgive
ness--a spirit Of magnanimity that
values the happiness of its fellow-mor-
tails, nor scorns to bestow upon the
crring penitent the only boon he
craves-forgireness! " .. .E
