The following remarks from the Dcs
Moiues Cttisen arc truthful. Identified
with Iowa since an early day, At no time
have we noticed more favorable oppor-
tunity for profitable investment. Eastern
farmers of small capital can now secure
10 themselves hetnes At comparatively
low price that must annually enhance in
value. Such an investment is hundred
fold more certain of yielding prosperity
and happiness TO she sober and industri-
Gus farmer, than the Will.o the wisp
phantom that is alluring so many thoH-
sands across the barren plsias Of knasss>
-Ddrdnpert Gazette.
In all our history there never will BE-
time so favorable as the present, for in
vcstmcnt in Iowa lands The monetary
pressure has, as a matter of necessity,
radically reduced the price Of real estate,
Farms, improved aad unimrovea, can
be purchased at figures which are so re-
duced as to excite surprise. Three years
since, there was a fictitious value given
to these farms; but the reaction ccnsc~
quent on unhealthy imitation, has dimin.
ished the price of town lots, farms, etc, 4,
and at this time by small outlay of
money, immigrants to this State can lay
the foundations for large and enduring
fortunes. A few hundred dollars ex.
pended in real estate this year in Iowa,
will prove to be the most profitable in
vestment that could be made. While
money in the East is looking around for
owners, it is strange that SO small an
amount finds its way to the West. In
vestments in Western property, if made
judciously at this time, cannot fail to
yield heavy interest.
At no future time will the advantages
of which we speak, be realized to tho
same extent as now Property is now
held at figures far below its real value.
This state of things is natural result Of
the imitation few years since. Prices
then were unnaturally high; now, by 0
correspondent depression, they are unnat-
urally low. So"n from the impetus Of a
salutary reaction, prices will necessarily
advance. Real estate, instead of suffer
ing from the heaviest depreciation, will
steadily increase in price, until it is esti-
mated at its intrinsic value. Men who
are shrinking now from the purchase Of
Iowa property, will in two years accuse
themselves of folly for not having taken
advantage Of the favorable opportunities
which are now offered to build up for
tune. The advantages which the present
reduction in the price of real estate offer
to purchasers, we may safely say will ner.
er exist again. The causes which have
induced this condition, will hereafter be
carefully avoided by our citizens.
In conclusion We would, in good faith,
! extend a cordial invitation to our East
ern friends to come and make an examin-
alton for themselves It is for their iu-
terest we know, to invest any surplus
funds they may possess in Western
lands.

Don't you see it's going to snow,
Nick? There's fake now. Before
night it will all be smooth and white here,
and the keenest Indian will suffer if he
tries to scent our trick"
She was right. Long ere evening, the
soft white snow had obliterated every
footmsrk, and even invested the ruins OF
Edmond's homestead with picturesque
look. And when at twilight the youns
husband returned he found everything 90
pleasant and cosy in his little cabin, that
he exclaimed involuntarily:
"Thank God for his kindness. Your
all safe and sound"
EYES," said his mother, "and the ba-
by has laughed twice today"
"Then you've had good time" he
continued, as he and their neighbors-
for Edmonds and his family were yet
there-gathcred about the tea table, la
den with frontier delicacies.
Yes, indeed, child I'll tell you all
about it when you're through"
Very white was the young mans face
as he beard the story, aud passionately
did he again and again clasp to his heart
his fair young wife and tiny baby, and
over aud over again did he bless the old
woman for her daring efforts to save those
so near and dear to him.

pfudevy and Pruriency.

How many are shocked, or pretend to
be, at that which is virsuous and inno-
cent in itself, but which their quick, evil
thought invests with doubtful character
Like one who shrinks from spider,
but can camly cram a live lobster into a
pot Of boiling water, they can scent an
immortality no bigger than a gnat, aud
yet in some other, grosser form, swallow
one as large as camel. The world has
chosen to call this sensitive spirit this
virtue, forever suspicious and on the
wa.ch-prudcry, but We think it oftcner
might b tier be called pruriency! The
picking up of the garter, may be an act
of the purest, chastes: gallantry-the
evil minded will corrupt it tothcir tastes.
The supcr-nice moralis. who first con.
ceived it necessary to seat males on one
side and females on the other, of a church,
confessed the pruriency of his thoughts
in the conceit. The same division of
the sexes is widely insisted on in our
public schools, and we think no arrange
msn. could be worse for the morals and
manners of both sexes. 1t is not scnsi-
tive virtue, butprurient fancy, that sets
up these fallacious standards of morality
We aver belief, founded on our own,
and we doubt not on the experience of a
great majority of men and women, viz :;
that some of the most refining and emo
bling influences, and many of the dearest
companiopships and recollections of our
life, sprang from intellectual and social
communion with our school mates of the
gentler sex. As well carry this unnatu-
raj division into the family, as into the
school and church. Where ever it is
arbitrarily carried, be sure that the rude
manners and depraved morals will be a
large result. The prudish spirit, as it
rediculously termed, is far more prevalent
than is consistent with healthy state Of
mind and heart 1t shrinks in conver-
sation and trembles in the presence Of
art, A thousand beautiful processes of
nature are its abomination, and it would,
possibly, hesitate to enter the gates Of
Paradise, if it thought the angels en- dis,
haJiUe 1t would be we'll to consider
that there is more danger of corruption
from within than from vithout.-Ledd.

Sectional Democracy i'm the Senate.

Out of the twenty-five committees of
the new Senate, only four have Northern
chairmen. Our ambitious young Demo
cratic Senator, Mr. Pugh, is not honored
with a place at the head Of even the most
insignificant committee Mr. Douglas,
Mr.. Rice, of Minnesota, Mr.. Broderick,
and even Mr.. Gwin, are crowded down,
to make room for such Southern fre-eat-
ers as Davis, Iverson and Clay. The
special honor, are Messrs Bright and
Fitch, the great non elected Thompson, Of
New Jersey, and Bigler. Even these
facile gentlemen are placed at the head
of some of the least and unimportant COM
mit.ees, The Pennsylvania Senator and
right hand man Of MIR. Buchanan, is on
the committee of engrossed bills-not a
dc'iberatire committee at all. OF the In
diana bogus Senators, Fitch is chairman
of the committee on printing. and Bright
is permitted TO hook after public build
ings and grounds" Mr.. Thompson Of
| Jersey is on the pension committee,
| II is useless to talk about "Natiousr
Democracy, while the leading Democratic
| Senators Of the North are thus treated,
the South not only takes eighteen Of the
committees, leaving merely four unim-
portant ones to the North, but packing
the whole so as to give strong prepon-
derance Of the Southern element to any
committee of any consequence. In do
ing this, the fire ablest Northern Demo.
Gratis, as we have seen, are ignored, and
four weaklings carry ca eli the hcuoFs.

sDOn't Sneak 81 Cross"

Don't speak SO cross said one little
boy yesterday in the street to another
" Don't speak so cross, there's no use
in it." We happened to be passing at
the time, and hearing the INDUCTION or
rather exhortation, for it vas made in an
exhortatory manner, We set the juvenile
speaker down as an embryo philosopher
In sooth, the point involved in the boy
ish difficulty which made occasion for the
remark, he might probably be considered
at maturity. What more could Solomon
have said on the occasion! True, he
has put it on record that u "soft answer
turneth away wrath, and this being
taken as true, everybody knows it to be SO
it is evidence in favor Of the superior
ity of the law of kindness over that Of
wra'h. But our young street philoso-
pher said pretty much the same thing
substantially when he said, "Don't speak
SO cross, there's no use in it" On the
contrary it invariably does much harm.
Is man angry? it inhames his ire still
more, and confirms in his snmity him
who, by kind word and gentle and
pleasing demeanor might be converted
into friend 1t is, in fact, an addition
of fuel to the flames already kindled. -
And wha. do you gain by it! Nothing

FatteHing Animals.

A famer's journal says, "Warm pens
and cooked food economic expense in
fa,tening animals" True, so do dark
ness, and if you confine the animal so
that it cannot exercise the muscles, the
fattening process is still more hassened
and economized, for whatever prevents
the elimination from the body Of waste
matter facilitates fattening. Ia Ger
many, as We are assured by a lady from
that country, they put out the eyes Of
the geese, fasten their feet to board,
and keep them in dark, warm cellars, then
they cram them with food consequently
the birds have but just oxygen enough to
keep life in the body, and having no
exercise, the worn-out matter is retained
in their bodies, making them exqui.itoly
rich 10 putrescence. Thus are produced
those delicious livers-putrefying mas
$3.50 relished by epicurres when done
up into pies.
The same paper says, "A fat animal is
in an unnatural state, aud consequently
subject TO disease. Taking no exercise,
it has no usual power of trowing poisons
out of its system" True; yet people
will fatten animals, and they will eat fat
tened animals, though in doing so they
necessarily eat diseased food
We wish farmers could open their
eyes to this truth 1t is time their eyes
were open, for it has been morning long
while yet the blinds are closed about
them, thick curtains hang before the
windows, and they are dozing in dark
ness. Will some one in each farm house

but their voices are lost in the dasf,fnv tide.

And eyes the reflection of heavens own blue
hs crossed in the twilight gray and cold
And the pale mist hid him from mertsl view
We saw not the angels who met him there.
lhe gates OF the city we could not see
Over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welc ONE me.
over the river the boatman pale
carried another, the househ hold pet;
her brown curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands.
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark,
Wefelt IL glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark;
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river the mystic river,
My childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch CLEAN Of the snowy sail;
And 20! they have passed from our yearniag
hearts,
They cross the stream and are gone for ave;
We may not sundcr the veil apart
That hides from our visio the gates Of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with us Der lifes stormy sea;
let somewhere know on the unseen shore
They watch, and becken, and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold.
And list for the sound of the boatman's oar !;
shall watch for gleam OF the flashing sail,
shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the bostman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land
shall know the loved who have gone before.
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The Angel of Death shall carry me.
