KIND WoRDs.-They never blister the
tongue or lips. And we have never heard
Of one mental trouble arising from this
quarter. Though they do not cost much,
yet they accomplish much. They help
ones good and good will. Soft
words soften our own soul. Angry words
are fuel to the flame of wrath, and make
the blaze more fierce. Kind words max e
other people good-natured. Cold words
freeze people, and hot words scorch them,
and bitter words make them bitter, and
wrathful words make them wrathful.--
There is such a rush of other kinds of
words in our days, that it seems desirable
to give kind words chance among them.
There are vain words, and idle words, and
basty words, and spiteiul words, and emp
ty words, and profane words, and warlike
words. Kind words also produce their
own image on mems souls. And a beau-
tirul image it is. They soothe, and quiet,
and comfort the hearer. They shame him
out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings.
We have not yet begun to use kind words
in such abundance as they ought to be
used Pascal

THE WIFE OF JoHN ADAMs.-In q few
weeks the proclamation reached the col
onies at several ports. Abagaii Smith, the
wife of John Adams, was at the time in
their home near the foot of Penn Hill
charged with the sole care of their little
brood of children managing their farm
keeping house with frugahty, though
opening her doors to tho nouseless and
giving with a good will part of her scant
portion to the poor seeking work for
ber own hands, and ever busilv occupied,
now at the spinning-wheel, now making
amends for having never been sent to
school by learning French, though with
the aid of books alone. Since the depar-
ture of her husband for Congress, the ar
row of death had sped near her 10y day,
and the pestilence that walks in darkness
had entered her humble mansion she

Her Youngest son mad been rescued from
the grave 10y her nursing; her own moth

aastere manner of her forefathers, buried
without prayer. Woe followed woe,
and one affiiction trod on the heels of
another. Winter was hurrying on du,
ring The day family affairs took off her
attention, but her long evenings, broken
by the sound of the storm on the ocean,
or the enemy's artillery at Boston, were
lonesome and melancholy. Ever in the
silent night Illuminating on the love and
tenderness of her departed parent, she
needed the consolation of her husbands S
presence but when, in November, she
read the Kings proclamation, she will
ingly gave up her nearest friend exclu,
sively to his perilous duties, and sent him
the cheering message: "This intelligence

dangerous one; | could not join torday

SwEARING.-I think man that srears
is like man that fires a gun in the street
without seeing where the charge is going
to strike. When a person uses profane
language he does not know what or whom
it is going to injure. 1t is habit which
comes upon man gradually, but grows
rapidly. 1t demoralises mans conscience
wounds his honor, Injuries his own soul,
and hurts the feelings of others. 1t is
profitable in nothing, and mischievous in
almost everything scarcely know Of
anything for which there is SO little ex-
cuse. If you say that you indulge in it
only when you are angry, reply that il is
worse then than at any other time.''

The Coppic Case.

~ The Democratic press of this
State has been very loud in Remuneration
of Governor KIRKwooD, for his course
relative to the requisition made by Gov
ernor LIErcHER, Of Virginia, upon him,
for the person Of BARCLAY CoPPIc, one
of the Harper's Ferry conspirators. In
consequence of the assaults and misrep-
reservations of the governor of Virginia,
and the Democracy generally, Senator
WILSON, of Jefferson County. Republican,
offered a resolution, calling upon the
Governor to communicate to the legisia-
ture the facts in the case +; which resolu-
ton, however, the Democracy insisted
upon amending SO as indirectly to as
sumo that the Governor had acted un-
warrantably in what he had done. The
Governor returned the resolution to the
Senate. calling attention to these object
ionable assumptions, and stating that he
could not, consistent with his self-respect,
respond to what unjnstly reflected upon
him. Thereupon the Democratic legis-
lators, and after them, the democratic
editors, big and little. throughout the
State, set up great cry, declaring the
Governors objection mere subterfuge-
that he dared not respond, because the

done. But 10! and behold the Gov
ernor did respond, and responded in such
manner, that he has not only knocked
the wind out of their sails, but carried
away their canvass, and left them found
ering in the muddy waters over which
they thought they could sail so smooth
ly. The Governor takes up and refutes
conclusively the arguments Of the exec
utive of Virginia, and shows that if there
has been any bad faith upon the part of
any one it cannot be laid to the authori-
ties of Iowa. He gives four reasons for
refusing the requisiIion. and shows by
reference to numerous deciCions that his
views have been fully sustained Gy UNI
ted States Courts. He shows that tie
papers were entirely insufiicient-lack-
ing important requirements Of the law
He holds that one of the most important
duties of the official position which he
fills, is to see to it that no citizen of Iowa
is carried beyond her borders, and sub
jected to the ignominy of Imprisonment,
and the perils of trial for crime in anoth-
er State, otherwise than by due processof
law, and declares that that duty he will
perform. He Indignantly repels the i'm
putaLion, either that he gave notice of
such a requisition having been made, or
was instrumental in informing CopPIc of
it, and states that he denied himself the
privilege of consultation with gentlemen
in whose opinion he had confidence,
touching the legality of the paper, lest
the matter might thereby become known.
He also pointed out, to the officer the
means to be taken for provisional ar
rest until the papers could be made legal,
but the officer not only refused to take
the necessary steps, but in spite of his
warning, publicly talked Of the object of
his mission. And he is also credibly in
formed that the fact of the officer having
such a requisition, was known in Iowa
City before the officer reached Des
Moines. We shall endeavor to find
room, next week, for the document, and
our readers can then see for themselves
how effectually the Governor disposes
both of Mr. LErcHER and those demo
cratic gentlemen Of our own State, who, in
their excessive love for Southern inter-
ests, are willing that our citizens should
be taken from among us without lawful
process,

large cession OF territory from Moroc-
co, as one condition of peace. The At

1t is reported that treaty Of alliance
has been signed between Austria and
Russia. Austria, it is said, makes ample
concessions to Russia, as to all that relates
to the Holy Places at Jerusalem also
agrees to conform her policy to that oil
Russia, as to the Danubian provinces
and Servia. AS compensation for these
concessions, Russia guarantees the whole
of Austria's territory against insurrec-
ton and foreign foes. 1t is also said that
France has abandoned the idea of Italian
unity, on account of the objections of
Austria and Russia. Tuscany aud Pied
mont are not to be allowed to consolidate,
but the people of Tuscany are to have
the privilege of choosing sovereign,
with no objection to the choice falling
upon VICTOR EMANuELs nephew, the
Duke of Genoa. Austria declines to ac-
cept the proposition OF England relative
to settlement of the Italian question,
and a Congress of the Powers is again
talked of. .Hu

in the Senate few days since, on the
bill for the admission of Kansas into the
Union The galleries were crowded with
spectators, and nearly every member in
the House of Representatives was lis
tener. The speech was marked by the
far-reaching, comprehensive and states
manlike views and arguments which al
ways distinguish the efforts of Mr.. SEW
ARD. Its language was calm and dis
passionate, and breathed spirit of kind
ness towards the South, although it abat
ed not one jot or title of the irrepressi-
BILE conflict doctrine. 1t was prevailed
too, by an Astounding love for the Union
in whose preservation and increasing glo.
ry Mr.. SEWARD has the most uncloud
ed faith. The speech should, and viii
be, widely circulated. The N. Y. Tribune
company has issued it in pamphlet form
and will sell it for 81 25 cents per hun
dred, or $40 90 per 1000.
