A PORTRAIT OF GARIBALDI.-From his
tory of the campaign Of the "Cacciatori''
of the Alps, in preparation by Francis Cor.
rano, colonel of that bold corps of soldiers,
LIE Eco d. Italia we extract the following por-
trait of the hero of Sicily:
Guiseppi Garibaldi is of medium statue,
with large square shoulders, herculean
limbs, and long reddish hair and beard, in
clining to gray. His step is slow and ma
jestic, his gait something like that of sea-
man, and his countenance and conversation
are also suggestive of the mariner. He
wears a waistcoat buttoned up to the throat,
wide-brimmed hat, and trowsers. The
noise of city annoys and disturbs him.
He likes the hill-tops, covered with high
trees, and enjoys the view Of the distant
horizon and the wide sea. Hehas a straight
nose, and the expression Of his face is both
lively and amiable His conversation is un-
pretending, but it rises to eloquence when
he talks of Italy and liberty.

ELoPEMENT IN HIGH CIRCLEs.--A re
port is in circulation in private circles, il
this city, respecting the suspected elope
ment of a gentleman hitherto highly re-
spected in this city, and recently engaged
in lucrative and respectable business
The gentleman left this city some two weeks
ago, with the intention, as he informed his
wife and friends, of going to New York
Repeated inquiries have been made in New
York, but nothing has been heard from
him since his departure.
A widow lady, of considerable beauty
and attractions, with whom he was on init
mate terms, disappeare' at the same time
and has yet to be heard from. 1t is sus.
pected that the pair have eloped to parts
unknown The friends of the parties await
future developments in suspense. The
gentleman leaves an interesting and amia
BILE wife in this city. We sincerely hope
that the rumors may prove wholly un
founded.-Auburn (N. ~ Adrsrtiser.

Truth BETTER THAN CANT.--Teach child
there is harm in everything, however inno-
cent; and as soon as it discovers the cheat,
it won't see sin in anything. That's the
reason deacons' sons seldom turn out well,
and preachers daughters are married thro'
window. Innocence is the sweetest thing
in the world, and there is more of it than
folks generally imagine. If you want home
to transplant, don't seek it in Enclosures of
cant, for it has only counterfeit ones but
60 to the garden of truth and of sense. Co.
creed innocence is like an Imprisoned lark;
open the door, and it is off forever. The
bird that roams the sky and the grove unrc-
strained, knows how to dodge the hawk
and protect itself; but the Gagged one. the
moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind,
is pounced upon by the fowler or the vul.
ture.-Som Slick.

The Ohio Statesman says, that the late

otherwise particularly conspicuous, pro-
minent republican lawyer, on leaving, made
brief speech to select company on the
outside, renouneing further connection with
tie party. He became disgusted with the
negroism rampant at the meeting, and
took leave of his party in the following va
ledictory:
"Gentlemen," said he, "this business has
become absolutely contemplate. If this
is specimen of your enthusiastic ratifica-
tons, you had better close your concern
and prepare for the ashes of despair. A

abolition orators of the rankest kind don't

campaign, there is no use of fighting
Lincoln and Hamlin are dead cocks in the

sentimental song singing, and abolition
rant are enough to kill any organization, and
it will kill us. It's miserable humbug, and
there's no use of concealing the fact, for
the people can see it. Such things have
killed our party before, and they are bound
to kill it now. Gentlemen, these are my

Mr. BIG ANDY-.Sr: Having seen your
rather vaunting challenge in late number
of the North Iowa Times, and as no one
seems to be willing to take you up in ear
nest, I, citizen of Postvillc not wishing to
see the good people of these United States
and Canadas bultied by such over grown
Pig-mies, have concluded to fight you on
the following terms:
First, | will fight you fair stand up
knock down fight for the sum of $1,000 or
$4,000 and belt; the belt to be given to
John G. Heenan Immediately after his ar
rival on his native shores. will meet you
from 20 to 700 miles west of Chicago, or,
"Ill meet you in the Silly eve, and but a
grease spot there will leave The fight |
think had better take place on or about the
2Oth of August, or during the dog days, or
at the Presidential election, or as soon after
as the parties can meet. In short, am en-
tirely indifferent as to the time and place of
meeting; to prove this, will say that |
will meet you anywhere on the Monuna
road between sunrise and sunset AS you
seem to be somewhat particular about the
pay, will deposit on the 4th of July the
first half of $4,000 in either bank of the
Mississippi, while gushing waters roll be-
tween, and the other half on or before the
day of meeting AS to birth and pedigree
| would say that was born of poor but
respectable parents, and was for time OBJ
scured; but since the late war of Mexico
and the State of Texas, | have arisen with
such rapidity as to astonish all outsiders.
I CT foot Ion, I As,
but by proper care and management l
think can be brought to ITO pounds,
which is my fighting weight, according to
the rules of the p. r. would also say
that never saw cannon, never saw a
cannon-ball, or circus, but hare seen 'Big
Andy" lately, and fear him not. You had
better get your life insured if you think it
worth the expense, as 81 am bound to no
party, to no sect confined" This think
had better be published in the Times, as |
would like the good citizens of Postville and
the United States to know that they have
not been bullied. In conclusion would
say that am % inches in circumference
around the body, the same around the head,
my neck is thick set and is four inches in
diameter, my arms are the same. can
lift a common Pig live weight, easily in a
minute. have no desire to be brought be-
fore the public, only did not wish to see
the people bullied. l hope Mr.. Gaffeny
will not take this up in any other than a
fighting light If these terms do not suit
him, will fight him on any terms he pleas
es. In short the citizens of North Iowa
are not to be bullied, and any farther at
tempt to do so will be vain. am yours to
fight, s. PANZA.

MY SPIRlh GUIDE.


BY EMMA r. PRADr.
When the curtain of twilight is drawn DER the ski
A nd the stars look down with their angel eyes
When the fre-ght gows on the sanded floor,
And hickers and shines on the oaken door
And while my heart throbs and sobs with pain,
My beautiful angel comes again
Cometh to cemfort me.
'Ts her gentle hand that is wiping, now.
Each sorr owful shade from my aching brow;
IT'S my mothers voice that's whispering low,
Just she did long years ago,
Ere the grass had grown DER her loving heart,
And tn. death-angel riven our souls apart
Thus she whispereth low;
Beyond the river Of Death there lies
My beautiful home, called Paradise;
Only few short rolling years,
Only few days of waiting and tears,
Till this sorrowful earh-life be past,
And life be really begun at last,
In Heaven, my child
Around me are folded her pinions bright
My soul seems bathed in Erial light
As the song of the sea in the tinted shell,
Or the soft, sad chime of the evening bell, s.
Her voice to my spirit soundeth sweet,
And my heart grows calm while spirits meet,
And my tears forget to flow.
The light grows dim on the sanded floor,
And shadows are OH the oaken door
The cricket, that meath the hearthstOne sung,
Hath long since hushed his weary tongue
look III vain for my angel guide:
She stands no longer my soui beside:
Again am sad and lone
Alas, alas. for these shadows that fall,
Alike on cottage, on palace and hall
God pity the hearts which yearn to gaze
On the loved aud lost Of other days.
And send the fair guest, the angel guide;
Though with them it may not, cannot abide,
Still still it will comfort bring!

Askime not why am weeping,
Why my heart is sad and lone
Ask me not my recent sorrow,
All my cheri he'd hopes gone.
Life is colder,

With my grief, than wit my years.
In my wild and foolish rambling,
Thro' the towery fields OF day,

That could never pass away.
Oh! how sadly,
Oh! how madly,
Did let my tancies rove.
A shadow dark fell o'er my path,
And all my earthly JOY is gone,
The light of all my life went out,
And ain lett alone, alone.
Oh! how dreary,
Oh! how weary
Are these wintry days to me.
