The Rev. Mr.. Dean still in Trouble.

Judging from the following taken from
the Burlington Haph-Eye, the Rev.
Henry Clay Dean objects very seriously
to language such as he is in the habit OF
using towards others being applied to
him, aud is going to avenge himself with
cowhide. The Hark- Eyes amende
honorable for its previous offence, is
probably lille worse than the offence
itself:
"That Rev. blackguard, Clay Dean,
purchased a cowhide Saturday evening,
and tried to make his Democratic friends
believe he was hunting for US. He need
not wear out shoe leather in hunting for
the editor of this paper. He can always
be found at the office during usual busi-
ness hours, and for the most part until
late at night.
Deans grievance, We suppose, was the
notice Of DR.. Ead's retirement from the
Fort Madison Plaindealer, in which We
said that Eads was the most abandoned,

not excepting Doc. Farmer and Clay
Dean. So far US We made an exception
in favor of Dean We take it back. Filthy
and disgusting in his person, vain, de

bully and coward, having none Of those
virtues or graces which adorn gentle
man, slorying in infamy and rejoicing
in his own shame, the school for scanda

for the morals of Louden, but it is ca
lamity to the business public that so

Our correspondent says:

to the means he should use to advance
the cause of Democracy, IS the result Of
the State election would have telling
effect upon the great Presidential con-
test Of 1860. Mr.. Dugan, like an honest,
independent, high minded man, scorned
to do the dirty work required BY tie

He is the man who always expects to

one per cent. for exchange on New
York.
He always expects the house he deals
with to furnish him with oil the new

He always expects, as he is d" liberal
buyer" that either a coat or dress pat

therefore should be sold to him AT ''soms-

He always has faith in his own state

He always forgets the injunction,

Of this character should be especially
avoided. for they are direction posts on

dulged. BY studying the works OF
sound ana sterling authors we become
indoctrinsted with the mental strength

speaker knows the Importance OF filling
the memory with useful and agreeable in-

and increasing in its contents that it

When he wishes to illustrate any partic-

applies the experience Of the past to the

which embrace pure and unexceptionable
subjects, we unconsciously both think

man esteemed for his knowledge by the

modest and unassuming he may be by

Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest JOY.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts arc never gay,

Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief dispcling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine faileth,
Ever on the grateful earth.
