Before the bitter controversy between the old
Armlnian and Calvinist clergy, they used 10 meet
in friendly way to crticise each others sermons.
II fell to the lot Of DIR. Dunbar 70 preach before
the association. He felt moved to Be very posi-
tive, and make very distinct enunciation Of Cal
vinism: With each Of the Eve points he would
bring down bis fist upon the desk, with the ex-
clamation, This Is the Gospel" First, fatal de-
praviiy was depicted, with the emphatic endorse
ment This Is the Gospel" Then election and
reprobation then irresistible grace; then eiectual
calling; and 50 to the end, and under each scdRc
hammer blow on the pulpit, with, "This Is the
Gospelw After service the ministers met, and
each in turn was asked by the moderator to give
his views Of the sermon. DIR. Gray had sly,
gentle humor, which diifhsed good nature through
the clerical body he belonged TO, and kent out Of
II the theological odium His turn came to criti-
else the sermon, and he delivered himself In this
way: The sermon reminded me Of the earliest
efforts ct painting. When the art was IN its in
fancy, and the first rude drawings were made, they
wrote the name Of the animal under the figure
which was drawn, so that the people could be sure
to identity It. Under one rude figure you will see
written, This Is q horse 7 under another, This
b an OK, and 90 on. When the art Is perfected q
ittle this becomes unnecessary, and the animal Il
recognized without the underscript. lam greatly
obliged TO my brother Dunbar, In this infancy Of
the art, that he helped me in this way to identity
the gospel. As / followed him through the FIVE
figures which he sketched for us, I must confess
that unless be had written under each one Of them,
in large letters, This is the Gospel never should
have known Il"
That the color Of the eyes should affect their
strength, may seem strange; yet that such Is the
case, need not at this time Of day 10 be proved /:
and those whose eyes are brown or dark coIored
should be informed that they are weaker and more
susceptible Of injury, from various causes, than
gray or blue eyes. Light blue eyes are generally

'Tis Sweet to be Remembered.


OF us sweet 70 be remembered
In the merry days Of youth,
While the world seems full Of brl9htno11
And the soul retains Its truth;
when our hopes are like the morning beams
That fash along the sea,
And every dream We know Of hto
Il one Of purity.
IT'S sweet 10 be remembered
A. the Spring remembers earth,
Spreading roses In our pathway,
Rilling all our hearts with mirth.
OF tis sweet to be remembered W.
In the summer time Of life,
Ere We reach the burning summit
with our weight Of woe and strife;
To look backward through the shadows
Where our journey arsl begun,
And The golden fcwers Of mem'ry
Turn their faces 70 the sun.
It's sweet to be remembered
As the bfeeIe remembers day,
Floating upward from the valley
Der the pilgrim's weary way.
OF Ills sweet to be remembered
When our Life has lost he bloom,
And every morning sun We meet
May leave " at the tomb
When our youth is half forgotten,
And We gase with yearnings fond,
From world where ell are dying
To . deathless world beyond,
'Tis sweet te be remembered
As the stars remember night,
Shining downward, thr0ugas the dAFkness,
with pure and holy light.

ACCEPTANCE OF JunGE MAsoN.-As we
supposed he would do, Judge Mason has &C
cepted the nomination OF the Mahoney Con-
venti,n and stands forward before the pe0 :
pie Of Iowa rs he chosen candidate OF the
! secession S, mpathizers fer Governor. But
his letter sf acceptance proves very clearly
that he is undeserving of the position-that
he sadly needs courage. He las not the
pluck to face the music. He is for the
Union with BIT. He would pacate the
Rebel lea ers ana disarm their troops with
compromises lie lectures us upon the folly
and wickedness Of civil war, and tells us OF
the value of the Onion, but he has no con-
domination for the Rebels who inaugurated
the one to destroy the other. He has given
a written opin on as to the LEGALITY and con-
stltut,onality Of the Bends issued by this
State, he himself takir the posito on Of Com
missioner to negO late their sale, and now
places himself upon declaring their issue I'M
constitutional In short he is neither hot
nor cOld-neither true nor false neither
full blown traitor like Valland'gham, nor
the n ne hundredth part of a true Patriot,
like Holt. lie would not, like jackson, lead
an army of scoundres to pillage our State,
but he would destroy our credit, and send
our troops Gf he could not otherwise prevent
their going) to fight the battles of their
country without proper and necessary arms
and clothing. After the retracy Of Old Buck,
we never cXpe cted to see such an amount IL
drlvel emhodie in one letter as We find in
this of Charles Mason.
We hope Mr.. Mason will take the stump.
We hope he will travel over the State from
end to end. He has deliberately chosen his
own position. Upon him and his posterity
be the infamy Burlington Hawkeye.

Iowa DEMOCRACY. = The action of the Dem
ocracy of Iowa and New York seems to us
thoroughly self-contradictory and as mys-
FERROUS as the Sphynx, and the only hy-
rothesis upon which we can account for it, is
that it thinly covers lurking treason beneath
They throw upon the shoulders of the Republi-
can party this war, commenced under their
auspices, when single word from their own
President might have checked it, and when
the Republican party and press in vain de-
manded of that traitor that he should, by the
proper use of his authority, check the rebel
lion. And yet in the same breath, they talk of
supporting the Administration. They say
arms cannot perpetuate the Union, and yet
are loud in their demand that the Govern
mcnt shall maintain its dignity, and are I'M
stinted in their complaints at any symptom
of delay in the progress of the war. They
stigmatize secession as political heresy, and
before the words are cool denounce Republi-
cans for sustaining it.-What do they mean
