The Iron MAN. Laid out.

The Cincinnati Commercial, one of the
ablost Republican journals in the west,
disposes Of one Republican candidate as
follows:
"Gov BANKs.--Thc adoption of the
Massachusetts two years amendment,

the presidency in 1860. His name may
at once be erased from the list Of candi.

in New York when the vote was taken
on the adoption or rejection of the amend
ment. If his reason for absence from,

we are inclined to suspect, an exhibition
Of cowardice so contemplate should not

The world at large do not understand
the mysteries of newspaper; and as in
watch, the hands that are seen are but
the passive instruments of the spring,
which is never seen, so, in a newspaper,
the most worthy causes of its prosperity,
are.often least observed or known. Who
suspects the benefit which paper de-
rives from the enterprise, the vigilance
and watchful fidelity of its publisher ?
Who pauses to think how much of the
pleasure of reading is derived from the
skill and care of the printer? We feel
the blemishes of printing if they exist,
out seldom observe the excellencies. In
like manner, how few of all our readers
dream that the independent" owes a
great deal of its excellence to the springs
that lie coiled up in the Office, named
Office Editors, in distinction from the
editors who originate the mischiefs that
appear upon the editorial page?
We eat hearty dinner, but do not
think of the farmer who raised the ma
terials thereof, or Of the cook that pre-
pared them with infinite pains and skill.
But cook of vegetables, meats, pastries
and infinite bon-Jons, has paradisaical

change newspapers. lie is to know all
their contents--to mark, for other eyes,
the matters that require attention. His
scissors are to be alert and clip with in
cessant industry all the little items that,
together, form so large an interest in
the news department. lie passes in re-
view each week every State in the Union,

ness that restricts sentimental obitua-
res, that gives young poets twig on
which to sit and sing their first lays
And the power behind the throne, in
newspapers, as in higher places, is some
times as important as the throne itself.
Correspondents, occasional or regular,
stand in awe of that silent power which
has the last chance at an article, and
may send it forth in glory or in humility.
And, in short, as the health of the body
depends upon good digestion, SO the
health of paper depends upon that

The Democratic party.

Never did the democratic party oecu-
Ply a prouder position than it does at tho
present time. Scoring every thing like
a,fifce and erpedteacy, it has from tho
very first honestly and in broad daylight
avowed before the whole country its set
tied principles and policy, and, steadfast-
ly adhering thereto, has witnessed nume-
rous opposing factions and parties rise
and fall, sicken and expire, while its own
course has been steadily onward and up

cation Of the honor, growth, and materi-
rial prosperity Of the American repub-
lie. Passing through the most violent
ordeal of false accusation and enbitiered
hate that INSCRIPTIONS enemies could
possibly invent, and such as would have
sunk any other party entirely out OF
sight; disregarding alike the assassin's
blade within, and poisoned arrows from
without, it remains to this day intact,
and as willing aud well prepared as it
ever was to battle in the cause Of politi-
cal truth, and for the rights both civil
and religious of the sovereign people.
With one hand pointing to glorious and
unimpeachable record, and the other

Loss OF APPETITE IN THE SPRING

Loss OF APPETITE IN THE SPRING.-
The decline of appetite in spring is not
the symptom or the effect of disease; it
is as it were, the wise forethought of IA
sleepless instinct, which puts out its blind
fearless ahead to clear away danger. In
stinct, that wonderful impalpablc thing,
the agent of the Almighty power, the
instrument of love Divine; its lesson is,
that the body does not require so much
food, hence the desire for it is taken away;
and if men could only be induced to read
that lesson Alright, to practice it by sim
pie eating according to the appetite, by
not going to the table if they did not
"feel like eating any thing" and then
resolutely wait until the next meal, and
at no time eating an atom, unless there
was decided desire for tiff such a
course were judiciouly pursued, the spring
time would be to us awaking up to new
ness of life, as it is to the vegetable
world. But instead of thus co-opera-
ting with our instincts, eve take some
thing bitters, pills, anything that any
body advises as good for "whetting up
the appetite" 1t acts like charm; we
speak loudly in its praise, and dozen
or more arc induced to follow the exam
pie. But soon the bubble bursts. Ma
ture was only drugged; her voice was
hushed only to wake up little later to
find her ward Frustrated by serious, and
as to old persons, often fatal sickness.
To avoid spring diseases, then, abate the
amount of food eaten at least one-third
and work or exercise with proportion

The King Cup and Glover blossom.

BY l. W. HANSON.
A white Clover Blossom modestly If
ted her head from the earth Her pale
cheek was almost hidden in the long
grass. She was scarcely conscious of her
own existence, and would have doomed
unseen, but for her fragrant breath,
which Tiled the air with perfume.
High above her head faunted brill
liant King Cup. AS the winds hutterod
her broad yellow petals TO and fro, she
seemed a golden butterfly, and not flow
or. She did not see the White Clover
Blossom that slept at her feet
And there was beautiful brown Bee
that the King Cup loved His wings
we're transparent like silken gauze, and
he wore broad glittering band of gold
about his waist.
But the Bee cared not for the King
Cup.
A tattling Zephyr came riding by on
her invisible steed. and she whispered to
the King Cup the cause of the Bees
neglect. He loved the unpretending
Clover Blossom.
Then the King Cup looked down to
her feet and behold the Clover Blossom
slept Her pale cheek was wet with
tears, and head bowed with sadness.
She dreamed Of the Bee,
"Vain aspiring creature~ cried the
Cup, "what ambitious spirit has filled
thee, that thou darest raise thy thoughts
to him | have selected? Dost thou think
he will deign to regard thee, thou art
seeking Daughter of the Dust? viii
he look so low as thou art while | allure
his eyesS"
Then the Clover Blossom timidly look
ed up to reply, but her bosom filled with
sadness, and breathing prayer of for
giveness, she sunk at the feet Of the
naughty flower.
A musical murmur filled the summer
air. Nearer it came, charming the flow
ers and hushing the Zephyrs to rest-it
was the Bee. Round and round the lof-
ty King Cup he few, while she delight
edly listened to the musical murmurs.
But they were not for her. With has
ty wing he left her, and dropped to the
bosom of the sweet Clover Blossom.
And the proud flower withercd and died,
hearing no voice save the sound Of the
Bee, as he SING the song of affection to
the unassuming but lovely flower.
Maiden It's not the proud, the rich,
or the beautiful, that wins the love of
others; tits the virtuous and the good.

AFFECTING SCENE. AT the close Of
the late trial Of Stephens, in New York
for the murder Of his wife, after the ver-
dict of guilty had been rendered, the
jurors retired, the spectators dispersed,
and the sheriff with his deputies APP
preached the prisoner. His little Bella,
about six years old, turned towards Ste
phens, and, after kissing him, said :
Come, pa let us 60 now, It's all over
see, pa the people are going" Human
nature, says the New York Express,
could not stand this; the sheriff turned
aside TO hide tear, and retired, leaving
the prisoner alone with his relatives and
counsel. Handkerchiefs we're drawn ont
by many present, and the attempts Of the
male portion Of the audience to stop up
the outlets Of the hearts fountain were
of no avail--such an affecting scene has
rarely been witnessed.

From the Baltimore Republican.
GOD SAVE OUR PRESIDENT.
A NATIONAL SONG.

by FRANCIS DE HAEs JANyIER.
All hail Unfurl the stripes and stars
The banner of the free
Ten times ten thousand patriots greet
The shrine of Liberty
Come, with one heart one hope, one aim,
An undivided band,
To elevate, with solemn rites,
The ruler Of our land
Not to invest potentate
With robes of majesty
Not to confer kingly crown,
Nor bend a subject knee.
We bow beneath no sceptred sway
Obey no royal nod
Columbias sons, erect and free,
Kneel only to their God
Our ruler boasts no titled rank,
No ancient, princely line
No regal right to sovereignty,
Ancestral and divine.
A patr;ot-at his country's call
Responding to her voice
One OF the people-he becomes
A sovereign by our choice
And now, before the mighty pile
We've reared to Liberty,
He swears to cherish and defend
The charter Of the free
God of our country Seal his oath
With thy supreme assent.
God save the Union of the States
God save our President

A Victim of Monsieur BelIy--The Mo-
dePn Lamp of Aladdin,


In one of the late letters of Paris
correspondent of the Boston Traveller, is
related the following incident, which
may possibly have home application:
The days of magic are not ended If
fairies and genii no longer walk the earth,
you must not think their spells dissolved
Metamorphose is the character of life.
The fairy casks no longer ascend the
well OR at the spring. Change is her
dwelling place; Credit is her SPELL
The genius is no longer the slave of
Solomon's signet; he is bound by the
corporate seal of the aforesaid ioint-stock
company. Both fairy and genius still
exist. You have read the tale of Alad-
din, and, | dare say, reckon that story as
the most wonderful of all the tales that
beguiled the nights of the famous Sui
tan. We have seen these adventures
renewed in this city under our very
eyes.
Once upon time there lived in the
city of Paris Portuguese jew lie had
dabbled in almost everything without
lettering his estate, ard when Louis
Napoleon made his coup d'etat he was so
poor that people wondered how he used
to manage to live. Some how or another
he got into a vein of fortune, and the
vein proved so rich and so inexhausti5le
Cat least it appeared to be- he speedily
came to be reckoncd one of the rich men
of Paris. He bought one of the finest
houses in Paris, and covered it with so
much gold leaf that people went to see it
merely to cape at the extravaganza of
the glider.
He bought vast house on the Boule-
ward, and he gilded it, too, in the same
style When he gave parties he con-
trivod to make them so splendid they
were the town talk for whole week. -
By-and-by the intoxication of wealth
giddicd his head. lie was so accustomed
to see q flourish of his pen convert worth
less paper into gold and silver, he got
into the frenzy of thinking that there
were no ends to his command of money.

ference between credit and promissory
notes. Having surrounded himself with
all the pleasures in which rich men seem
to delight; to wit. parasites, Gatterers,
good cooks, handsome carriages, plate,
pictures and the rest, he began to long
for "the roc's eggs" Monsieur Belly
had it in the shape Of a canal across the
lsthmus Of Panama The poor man
took it. That was four months ago
Now his gildod house is on sale and he
has nothing but debts, which are his,

The tale of the Paris Aladdin lasted
only seven years, and in this short space
of time he ran from poverty to wealth,
and from wealth to poverty, without pos
sessing capital or talents abe only had
credit for moment, which he abused !;
it was his Wonderful Lamp.

Cur THIS OUT-A correspondent Of
the London Literary Gazette, alluding
TO the numerous cases of death from ac-
cidental poisoning, adds:
II venture to affirm that there is scarce
cottage in this country that does not
contain an invaluable, certain, immedi-
ate remedy for such events, nothing more
than dessert spoonful of made mustard,
mixed in tumbler Of warm water, and
drank Immediately. Learn this simple
antidote, and you may be the means Of
saving many a fellow. creature from an

not a gem?

through them, falls as pleasantly on the

How You MAY Know Coop Fathers. -
1t is a good sign and true when you see
amid little group of boys, one dart
from the rest, and tossing his arms above
his head, and shout, "Thcre's my Fath-
er" as he runs to meet him. You may
be sure, no matter what business trou-
bles soever that man may have, that there
is a spot in his heart still fresh and green,
which the cares Of the world have had
no power to blight There's my faith
err" With what pretty pride the little
fellow shouts this He must be indeed
brute whose fathcrly heart does not
swell with love, whose eyes do not glis-
ten, who does not, at such a moment,
feel amply repaid for that days toll, no
matter how wearisome. After all, lore
is the only thing worth having in this
world. They who stand over new.made
graves tell us so. Fame and money, and
ambition, dwindle to nothing beside the
white, calm brow Of death, though God
knows it may be the youngling Of the
flock, whose lips have never even learned
a syllable Of our names.

TOMATOES. AS the season is approach
ing when these delicious articles will make
their appearance in our markets, we in
sert the following method of preparing
them for the table, which we ore assured
by one who has made the experiment, is
superior to anything yet discovered for
the preparation Of this excellent vege-
table :
Take good ripe tomatoes, cut them in
slices, and sprinkle over them finely pull
verified white sugar, then add claret wine
sufficient to cover them Tomatoes are
sometimes prepared in this way with d.
luted vinegar, but claret wine imparts
to them a richer and more pleasant flavor,
more nearly resembling the strawberry
than anything else.
