fore cur reader. the candid opinion of our
venerable neighbor on the editor At the

correct In their mutual opinions of each 9th.
sr, what editorial scapegraees we have con.
trolling the swo Democratic organs Of Dav.
enport' Blu, we are inclined 10 think they
are slightly prejudieed against each other,
and neither is hslfso bad as the other tries
TO make out:
This little whifet OF the News came to
this city puhed up 20 bursting. with vanity,
,hinking that the Democratic party and eli
its war worn veterans, would fall down and
worship this young cAry; and fading him.
self sadly disappointed, he is g, work to de.
suey the harmony OF the party and defeat

70, the News can do but little TO effect it's
purpose, II bearly exists and looks as
though the throes Of death were already at

SHARP PRAcrIcE.-An elderly gentle
man living three or four miles from
town was slightly "taken in" last
week by buxom widow. The old
gentleman held mortgage for a small
amount upon a piece Of land owned by
the widow, who also owed him fifteen
dollars on book account, The old
gentleman feeling matrimonially in
clined, made a proposal to the lady,
who agreed to accept him il no would
cancel the mortgage held by him and
forgive her the other debt. He ac-
cordingly came to town, cancelled the
mortgage on the record, and destroyed
all evidence Of his pecuniary claims
upon her. When he returned home,
she refused to marry him, denying any
agreement to that effect between
them, and declared that she had paid
him in cash, all claims against her.
The last we heard Of the matter, the
disappointed man was in town, in
search of legal advice as to whether
he could sue out writ of attachment,
and take her noleas yoisas.- Wdpellt

No MISTAKES RECTIFIED-An intelli-
gent Irishman, in the employ Of firm
in Milk street was sent few days
since to bank on State street for the
purpose of obtaining sum of money
on a check. The money was passed
to the Irishman, who did not count it
until he was in the street, when he
discovered that he had a $40 bill too
much. Actuated by desire that did
honor to his head and heart, he re-
turned to the bank and accosted the
teller "It's mistake you have made
in giving me the money, sure" he said.
"We make no Mistakes" haughtily
replied the teller f-your money is
not correct, you should have spoken
before you left the bank" "And you
won't correct itw asked Pat, with a
doleful look. "No sir; stand one
side " "Thon it's meself that is hap
py to say that Tve got twenty dollars
too much, and long life to such tillers
in gineral.n Pat was allowed to keep
the amount by his employers, and now
when he goes to the bank his money is
counted twice for fear Of Mistakes

PoLlrENEss OF THE SExEs.-A Cincira.
natl editor adduces acme practical in
stances from every day life to show
that ladies are far inferior to gentle,
men in politeness. Ungallant as it
may seem to say so, it is an undenia-
BILE fact in this country, and has often
excited the remark of foreign travel
lers. This persistent lack Of apprecia-
ton on the part of gentle sex, of the
attentions shown them, has had a SEN
sible effect in the eastern cities in di-
minishing the disposition of gentlemen
to offer them. Western and southern
visitors sometimes remark this with
surprise and attribute it to rudeness
and incivility on the part of the men.
In the cities of the northern Atlantic
seaboard a lady could formerly get a
seat in an omnibus, no matter how
full it might be, if there were any men
inside. But now men don't trouble
themselves, unless directly appeal

The BLOOM OF AGE.-A good woman
never grows old. Years may pass
over her head, but if virtue and be-
ncvolence dwell in her heart she is as
cheerful as when the spring time of
life opened to her view. When
we look upon q good woman we
never think of her age; she looks
as charming as when the rose
bloomed on her cheek. That rose has
not faded yeti never will fade. In
her family she is the light and delight
In her neighborhood, she is the friend
and benefactor. In the church, the
devout worshipper and exemplary
christian. Oh, who does not respect
and love the woman who has passed
her days in acts Of kindness and
mercy-who has been the friend OF
God and man-whose whole life has
been q scene of kindness and love, a
devotion to truth and religion !! We
repeat, such woman can never grow
old. She will always be fresh and
buoyant in spirits, and active in hum

THE MORMON TRouBLEs.-There are

yious rumors as to there being feel.

THOUGHT.

Thoughts are things, and the think
er's work lasts longer than the grave
makers, for Shakespeare's clown must
have done the sections duty better
than he does it now.
Robinson Crusoe how short were
tie six years we knew,him, before we
so much as heard of such man as
Daniel De Foe +; and how inferior in
interest as in self-reliant manliness was
the one to the other; how little we
cared about De Foe then; how much
we care about Crusoe now. Poor fel,
low! What is he to his own creation,
but ga second man Friday" whom
that lone islander of his, takes kindly
by the hand, and so leads gently down
the halls Of time, this century and
more, and answers in his stead, the
challenge Of hungry years.
Hand in hand with his "Fairy
Queen" comes Edmund Spenser
and poor Christian" let fall tho
mantle of his immortality upon the
dreaming thinker, as the Pilgrim
entered in at the Gate Beautiful.
There comes a simple Vicar, all tho
way from Wakefield, whose heart is
in his hand, and hard behind him, the
Traveller" and one Goldsmith.
Grand company "poor Colby" keeps
in these latter days
The Gentle Shepherd still
watches Allen Ramsay's flock of
fancies, least we declare him bank
rupt, and Philips Splendid Shilling"
yet keeps his credit good with Time.
Fielding rollicks round the world
with queer tom Jones, and Law
renee Sterne keeps "Tristram Shandy"
company. Sidney has gone from
England to Arcadia" and in that
blessed valley in the mountains heart,
where Shakespeare's clowns do never
come, we find him, utopia" is
place on memory's map to-day. with
old Sir Thomas More to do it's hopors.
So down to the world from yester-
day they travel, the thoughts and
thinkers +; and these "still live" for
those "shall not see death"
How fair those thoughts should be,
with whom they share inheritance Of
future and fame How like to angels
they, with whom one walks the
centuries Of years

Communications.
For the st. Charles Reruoican Intelligcncer
The Cedar River.

Beautiful stream! Oh tell me why
Thou murmurest all the day!
Thy silver breast is a pillow where
The joyous sunbeams play;
And the stars that shine in the glorious night,
Come down on thy bosom to lie,
And mingle their rays in thy fountain gusl
Then why dost thou murmur-why?
Oh oft in the twilight I've o er thee hung,
And felt that Maids care
Was feeding thy fount, and her sprirt-love
Tending thee every where.
And l have called in my softest tone,
And wooed her to come to me:
But too well she loved thee, pining stream
To be for moment free.
Then, beautiful stream Oh tell me why
Thou murmurest all the day.
Thy silver breast is pillow, where
The joyous sunbeams play;
And the stars that shine in the glorious night,
Come down on thy bosom to lie,
And mingle their rays in thy fountain gush
Then why dost thou murmur-why! H.

INTERESTING REMNIscEScEs.-Th fol-
lowing Is passage from the speech
of Gen, Cass at Cincinnati in response
to that Of Gov. Chase in welcoming
the guests at the railroad celebration
Fifty-seven years ago all the North
west Territory contained only 10000
people now its limits include 6 1000,
600. The man is now living whose
axe felled the first tree of these forests.
and there are men now alive who will
not pass away until the United States
have attained population of one
hundred millions. The triumphs of
the past are wondrous. From a land
without cultivation, without schools,
without internal improvements, this
has become State, both prosperous
and powerful The vessels which
traversed the beautiful river flowing
at our feet were the "k kentucky Ark"
for descending and keel boats for re-
turn. Fitty-one years ago was
young man, representing this country
in the Legislature of this State, when
those pioneer steamboat builders.
Messrs: Fulton L. Livingston, made a
proposition to our authorities to estab-
lish lines of passenger and freight
boats ON the Ohio, propelled by steam
against the current at the rate of four
miles per hour, The proposition was
laughed out Of the Legislature as inn
practicable. was young fogv
then | am an old fogy now. If it
had depended upon us of that day, the
magnificent enterprise of steam navi-
CATION would not now be startling US
with its grand achievements.
