DIN SANTA CLAUS, VISIT

Awake dear mamma and do come and see
What santa Claus left in my stocking for me:
I've a doll and sofa, and many fine things;
What beautiful presents old santa Claus brings!
There's a whip and horse for dear Johny, aud more,
II moves like a lir, one, all over the hoor;
The eyes of my dolly, they shut aud they open,
Much better you see, than the old one that's broken.
Do. dearest mamma do wake up and see!
How strange that on Christmas You sleepy can be I!
And Sissy pulled out from her own little stocking
A tiny bit chair, all cushioned and rocking.
Last mig ht, when old nursey had put Us to bed,
And bid us good night when otir prayers were all
said,
Thought would listen, for wanted to hear
Old santa Clau- come with hi tiny reindeer.
| tried very hard my eyes open to Keep
At the funny old man to steal sly peep;
So lacked at the chimney Is hard as | could.
To watch till the fire had burne,. up the wood;
For wondered, mamma, how il ever could be.
From the and the fire he'd keep the hngs free;
80 looked and looked a. hard a. could
For nur!ey had told W., if we would be good,
lie d come down the chimney, sure as ne came,
And fill up each stocking, FOR he knows well the name
nf every good child, and the house where he lives,
Ind to all that he loves, pretty presents he gives.
% tried very hard to keep open one eye,
But it kept shutting up as fast as l d try;
And the first Il at knew, was Johnny's loud call,
Merry Christmas dear si>ter- dear Dursy. and all -
rhen ran my stockings as fast as could be,
and found it filled up with nice things, as YOU see.
am very sorry indeed am 80
For I wanted to them II dash through the snow
Little Da her and Dancer, and prancer and Vixen,
Little Comet and Cupid. and Donder and Blxen
Oh! nur-ey has told me such wonderful things,
Or the sleigh and the deer aud the he brings
OF old Santa Claus TOO, aud his funny fur clothes
Ills cherry red cheeks and his pipe. and red nose
Where he places hi. finger, With blink of his eyes,
And away up the chimney moment he flies.
Uh dear don't you think, when Pm older next year,
I'can keep rias aWdke to see the reindeer

NORTH IOWA TIMES

Good Flour.
This article is indispensable to the peace
of the household That made at the Ross
Vile Mills we have heard highly commend
ed, and last week, by the politcness Of A.
Brown, Esq, Of Rossyille, we had the
pleasure of trying its quality. No winter
wheat -four that we have had in Iowa is
superior to this sack of spring which we
are referring to. The country about Ross
vile is peculiarly adapted for wheat, being
hickory, burr oak and white oak openings:
in addition to this we learn that the Mills
are supplied with all the modern improve
mcnts in the way of cleaning the wheat and
boiling the -four, and what is also very cs-
sential, the miller employed is proud Of his
skill as workman, and would feel himself
dissraced did he fail to keep his stones in
good condition. Mr.. Brown says he can
make Winter Whca Flour out of Spring
grown wheat, and the specimen at our
house is proof.
We were also favored with sack Of
Duckwheat Flour from the same Mills,
which is as far ahead Of the ordinary article
in market as can be Imagined. Men who
try to get up superior article of -four de-
serve most extensive patronage, and we
hope the Browns will realize a fortune al
Rossvile.

yourself by stirring up the --- and other
kindred meaklirs. AS for me, it was give
me Douglas, or let's split rails. The South.
if they have defeated the nominee have lost
the confidence Of the Democratic party, and
they don't deserve its countenance any
longer. Mr.. Breckenridge has seen the day
when, if he had pursued the right course,
he cotld have been President, but that day
has passed, and he might as well consider
himself laid on the shelf As for Stephen
Douglas, small as he is, if the whole Of our
statesmen were to combine to put him down,
his head would be seen as high up as the
longest Of them! Long Abe himself could
not measure him for the Senate, though the
length Of his pedals may have carried him to
the White House first.

ought to be strong, for there is enough of it.
We have Provisional Government, organ
lied last year, with a Governor, Secretaries,
Legislature, &C.; then we have Municipal
Government for Denver, independent Of
every other, something after the style of the
walled cities of the olden time; and we have
Judicial Government organized by con-

A SENATOR REBUKED. Philadelphia
Enquirer, Republican journal, referring
to the speech Of Senator Hale, of New
Hampshire, in the United States Senate,
on Wednesday, declares it "indiscreet and
irritating" and then rcbukes him in the
following strain:
This gentleman has, by some nnaccount.
able freak Of the citizens Of his State, got
into and kept in a seat in the Senate of the
United States, when his true position would
be in the saw dust of circus, crowned by
testers cap and bells. He is the mountc.
bank of the Senate, possessing neither dig
nifty, prudence, nor proper appreciation of
his high duties.

Political sermons.

Political sermons.
We have but little taste for these literary
hermaphrodites, but as the U. S. is now dc.
ing great deal of thinking on the State
of the Union, we were induced to read a
sermon delivered in Brooklyn, by Rev. Hen
ry Van Dyke of the First Presby ytSrian
Church Of that city. The effort is one OF
the ablest We ever read. The preacher
shows Aboitionism Fanaticism to be con
trary to the law Of God, at war with the
peace Of this Republic and of use only in
injuring the slaves and propagating lnfidel-
ity. 1t occupies eight columns of the daily
New York Herald, of Dec. 10th. The gen
eral perusal which is given it, induces us to
promise the publication Of liberal extract,
from it at some future day We are salts
fed that one sermon like Van Dykes, il

practicable sympathy" which is now
threatening the integrity of this great Re
public. "Pity for the oppressed" is good
but ifyour pity ruins all whom it affects it is
