POVERTY OF SPIRIr.-A man must be
emptied of himself, in order that he may
be filled with the blessings Of the gospel.
He must become poor in spirit, in order
that he may become rich in faith and a
partaker of the kingdom of heaven
Blessed, therefore, is the man who thinks
meanly of himself, and highly of his
Maker and Redccmer. Blessed is the
man who walks humbly with his God,
and is also humble towards his fellow
creatures. Blessed is the man who both
feels and manifests this poverty of spirit.
This temper may not exalt him in the
eye of the world, but it is the temper be-
fitting his condilion-it is temper
honorable to God and truly beneficial to
his fellow creatures. 1t is the temper
which Christ has pronounced to be char
acteristic of the Christian.

Mr.. J. d. Williamson knows too

Mr. J. d. Williamson knows too much
for the Investigating Committee at Wash
inglon, and they decline to be enlighten-
ed. They brought him there in a very
summary and uncivil way, to testify
against one extinct Congress, said to
have been bribed with $4,000; but
when he offered to testify against another
one that was bribed with $4,000 more
or less, they refused to hear him. We
submit that this was treating Mr.. Will
hanson very badly. We trust, however
that what he has to say will not be lost
When the Lecompton question is sci
aside, as we hope it will to-day by tho
appointment Of the select Committee, lei
the House order an investigation into the
passage of the Tariff of 1916, and give
Mr.. Williamson the opportunity to lay his
evidence before the country. 1t is said.

The Oskaloosa Herald thus demolish

which fancy had thrown about this pond :
A rather interesting paragraph. TAX
en- from correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, has been going the rounds
of the press, concerning a wonderful lake
surrounded by an artificial wall of stone,
which is said to exist somew here in the
northern part of this State. We dislike
to spoil SO pleasant story as this, which,
while it interests the reader, and graft.
fes taste for the marvellous, does no
one particular harm. But lest some Gu.
rious traveller should go far out of his
way to view this magnificent work of art,
We volunteer to correct this fictitious
tale.
We do this upon the information OBJ
taincd from our townsman, Judge Crook
ham who owns land lying upon the
borders Of this famous lake, and who is
well acquainted with the face of the coun-
try in that region. The Judge tells us
that he has often walked around thi;
"pond," has bathed in its waters, and
carefully examined its walls, and that nc
man who understands philosophy. sc.
ology or common sense" would even
think of pronouncing them work of art
In small portion of the lake, the water
is from ten to fifteen feet deep, and along
about fifty yards of the shore. the WIND
has blown the sand from the boulders, >
SO that a very respectable " stairway j:
formed for geese to descend TO the water.
and to give the stone just enough of ar
tifcial appearance to suggest good stor,
to vivid imagination. And this is al
of that wondrous piece OF mechanism
which has so excited the curiosity Of an
tiquarians. Surely in this, as in som
other circumstances, +" Distance lends en-
lchantment to the view"

TO MY WIFE.

lThe following exquisite love-song is the
composition of Joseph Brennan, young Irish
man, one of the exiles of '4S, who died recently
of consumption in New Orleans, at the age Of
cight-and-twcntyJ
Come to me, dearest, I'm lonely without thee,
Daytime and nighttime I'm thinking about
thee,
Nighttime and daytime in dreams l behold
Unwelcome the waking which ceases to fold thee.
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to tighten,
Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten.
Come in thy womanhood, meeky and lowly,
Come in thy lovingncss, queenly and holy
Swallows will fit round the desoAte ruin,
Telling Of Spring and its joyous renewing.
And thoughts Of thy love and its manifold trea-
Are circling my heart with a promise of plea
sure.
Oh, Spring Of my Spirit, oh, May of my bosom,
Shine out on my soul till it bourgeon and bios
som;
The waste of my life has rose-root within it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunshine can
win it.
Figures that move like song through the even
Features lit up by reflex from heaven
Eyes like the skies Of poor Erin, our mother,
Where shadow and sunshine are chasing each
other;
Smiles coming seldom, but childlike and simple,
And opening their eyes from the heart of dim
pie;
Oh, thanks to the Savior, that even thy seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming!
You have been glad when you knew was glad
dened--
Dear, are you sad now to hear am saddened +?
Our hearts everanswcr in tune and in time, love,
AS octave to octave, and rhyme unto rhyme, love
cannot weep but your tears will be flowing
You cannot smile but my check will be glowing
! would not die without You at my side, love-
You will not linger when shall have died, love.
Come to me, dear, ere die of nay sorrow,
Rise on my gloom like the sun of tomorrow
Strong swift, and fond as the words which
speak, love
With song on your lip and smile on your
cheek, love.
Come. for my heart in your absence is weary
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and dreary-
Come to the arms which alone shoull caress
Come to the heart which is throbbing to press
thee

THE ORIGINAL MAS.-The Lantern
argues that man was originally either a
fish, or intended for one, that is evident;
everything shows he was meant for wa
cry or liquid life. Our common Ian
guage takes his fins for granted man is
defined as finate being his intriguas
are called Finesse, and his monetary sys-
tenn Finance, while his niceties are called
Finical. In England, to this very day.
the Kings eldest son is called the Prince
of Whales; to which enormous creature
most children show their raffinity, by their
quantity of .blubber women never con-
slider themselves dressed without they are
surrounded with whalebone, like Jonah
soldiers are called Lobsters, Lawyers
Sharks, and imprudent boys Shrimps.-
These facts are definilive. Itis also not I'M
possible that the site of Eden was in Fin
land. One writer said that man was sea-
lus animal.

THE WEALTH OF WoRDs.-The poorest
person may be wealthy in words. He
who may have nothing else to give his
suffering fellow man, may at least revive
his dropping spirits, iufuse new hope iao
his sinking heart, and throw a CLEAN of
sunshine upon the gloom ofhi wretched-
ness by the exercise of kind words in An
expression of sympathy Never neglect
it then. The hcart-crushei and life
weary have enough to contend agains',
in the inevitable crosses of life without
suffering from the pain inflicted BY the
singing rebuffs of the thoughllessly un-
feeling. The heart bowed down by
weight of woe" may be relieved of half
its burden by a single cheering remark.
The lack-lustre eye may be made to beam
with hope by the magic influence of 4
friendly smile. No one is poor who can
speak kindly. Do not forget it.-N y.

Coon DoCTRINE.-The Iowa Citizen,
of the 10th inst, says that Our State
Senator, DR.. Davis, in speaking on All
amendment to an order for papers, held
the following sound views:
"That in his opinion the restriction of
the order for papers to those published
in the State was appropriate and just
The patronage that could be extended to
our State papers, at the best, afforded
them but feeble support. He was un-
willing to appropriate money from the
Treasury of the State for the support of
foreign publications when there were
those at home worthy, and which he es-
teemed our duty to sustain"
We are glad to see that our Senator
has started the question of the support
the newspapers receive from the govern
ment in this State. There is no State i'm
the Union that gives as little public pat
ronase TO the press as the State of Iowa.
We hope that in the revision of the Code,
they will require the publication of all
legal notices, sheriff and constables' sales.
1t is something that is needed. What
say our brethren of the press throughout
the State ?-Lyons Mirror.

Farmer Burritt and his Library.

Farmer Burrit was a plain, honest
Pennsylvania husbandman, who had
been brought up very much as his faith
or and grandfather had been before him
that is. with just enough knowledge
to make him respectable tiller of the
soil. For several winters, when farm
work was slack, he had been sent to a
country school, and having some apti-
.tude, he learned to read and write toler-
ably well, and to cast up simple accounts
There his literary education ended, and
hencefolth his energies were devoted to
That kind Of labor which is necessary to
make practical farmer. On the death
of his thrifty father, he entered into pos
session Of largo and good farm. and in
due time married. At the time we now
refer to, he had six children, all young,
who had come into the world alternately
boys and girls. and their father never
dreamed of their being brought up in
amy other way than he and his ancestors
had been. Each one was destined to re-
.ceive little schooling. and to do good
deal of work suited to their respective
ages. AS is unhappily the case with too
many farm houses. there was but din,
light in that dwelling. There was no
thought of cultivating the higher facul-
tics Of its inmates. They were to 90
through the dull plodding life Of those
who had preceded them, and although
.the farmer had good family Bible and
Psalm book. his library consisted of a
few elementary school books, with the
necessary annual almanac. 1t was in this
state of affairs that an intelligent neigh
Dor, who had turned his attention from a
city business TO farming. with a view o.
recruiting his health, became acquainted
with Mr.. Burritt and deeply interested il
his family. The confidence he inspired
and the kindly feeling he manifested
made him welcome visitor, and CAV,
him no small interest. In the course o

How the Ovcrseers Rule Us.

So far as committees are concerned,
the oligarchy in the Senate of the United
States, ignores such commercial cities as
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago, but remembers
Richmond and Norfolk.
The manufacturing cities of Lowell
Manchester, Newark, Pittsburg and Day
ton, have no claims to its notice by the
side of Pensacola, Vicksburgh and
Raleigh.
Lawyers and Scholars, whose lives
have been spent under the shadow Of
Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth aud Union,
are crowded out from the Judiciary and
Library Committees, to make room for
gentlemen of the Plantation and Rice
field.
Dismal Swamp, Red River and the
Everglades, loom up in importance, in
the eyes of the oligarchy, compared with
Lake Erie, the Hudson, and the grand
prairies of the West.
1t is vastly important that the mails
are properly carried on horseback and by
OK teams. through;he swamps and waste:
