He Gathers them Home.


The souls of men are Gods harvest sheaves,
He gathers them home at his VIII Sublime;
The true and the Just he alone receives
Who faithful prove at the harvest time.
He gathers the ripe from the hill and pain.
And carries the map of the " sea of glass -
He wnnows the cheat from the perfect grain,
And scatters the chaff to the winds that pass.
he gathers them home to the their long sought rest
He gathers them up the great white throne;
He holds the cold hands DER the puseless breast,
And seals the damp eyes to the world of moan.
He gathers them home-he gathers them home
From the isles where toileth the bond and free
They list to his voice wherever they roam,
On the sin-cursed earth or the sounding sea
He gathers them home in the eve of life,
The souls that are weary and care-oppressed;
The brother and sister, the husband and wife
He gathers them home to their long, long rest.
The heavenly sparks from the heavenly fame,
He gathers them back to the angel-band;
Away from the without any name
Which poison the breath of this sinful land
He gathers them home when the daylight fades,
To the great reward which their lives have woni
'Tis glorious change from the land of shades
To a heaven of rest where their tolls are done.
o, land of God on the distant shore,
see my rest when the hour shall GOMEZ
Ishal view thy ladseapes DER and o'er
When the Father gathers his frail ones home.

A IoKER FoR A RULER.


A JOKER FOR A RULER.--The
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes and
that paper publishes the follow
ing joke upon President Lincoln :
A worthy and very pious min
lister, it seems, had recently, by
means unknown, escaped from
the confines of the Confederacy.
Thouh very much disgusted with
its temporal, he had high respect
for its spiritual condition. Their
rulers were praying men, he said:
Jeff. Davis himself was an earn
est Christian. and was constantly
in the habit of seeking the Divine
blessing on all his undertakings.
Il tell you," he exclaimed, God
always answers sincere and fer
vent prayer; and it is because
Mr.. Davis and so many of his peo-
pie have so humbly DO we'd before
Z
the throne of Divine grace, that
he has vouchsafed to them so
many mercies and so signally
prospered their cause"
But" interrupted the practi-
cal preacher, with whom he was
cOnversing, "don't you see that
they pray on this side for success
/ just as earnestly as the rebels do.
MIR. Lincoln is man of strong re,
ligious convictions, and doubtless
prays constantly to God for sue
cess to crown our arms. Don't
you believe God will hear him
just as quick as he would Mr..
DaviS?'
"Wel, yes, | suppose he would
very simply and very sincerely
responded the first minister; only
10 matter how much Mr., Lincoln
prayed, God a0Ould be sure TO think
he aoas joking as usua5."
A MILLIONAIRE of Paris wrote
to Scribe "My dear sir, | have a
great desire to be associated with
/ you in some dramatic composition.
Will you do me the favor to write
a comedy, and permit me to add
to it few lines of my own? | will
then have it produced in the
most costly and splendid style
upon the stage, at my own ex-
pense, and we will share the glo-
ry."
To which Scribe answered (:
"My Dear Sir-I must decline
your flattering proposal, because
religion teaches me it is not prop
er that a horse and an ass should
be yoked together
To which the millionaire re-
piled: "Sir-I have received
your impertinent epistle. By
what authority do you call me a
horse ."
A BROTHER at a prayer-meet-
ing prayed for the President, that
he might be wise as a serpent,
and harmless as a dove The
pastor was overheard saying
"The Lord forbid, but give him
grace to hurt somebody" The
country don't want harmless
commanders now"

A MODEL HUsBAND.-A hus-
band ought to have great good
nature, good humor, and good
sense. Lively by all means. Stu
pid by no means. His person
agreeable rather than handsome.
No great objection to six feet,
with an exact symmetry of parts.
Always clean but not foppish in
his dress. Youth promises du-
ration of happiness, therefore is
agreeable. Well read in the
natural philosophy. A tolerable
ear for music, but no fiddler. I
must repeat it again, no fddling
husband. An easy and unaffec-
ted pOliteness. No bully; just as
much courage as is necessary to
defend his own and his wife's
honor. May fortune smile on the
man of my wishes !-Fanny Fern.

THE WRONG SIDE.-Lieuten-
ant Haycraft one of the Hines
raiders, told one of the citizens of
IIoosier, after the capture, that
they were induced to make the
raid into Indiana by the stories
they had heard that the State
was full of their friends. He said
they expected from these reports
to raise a regiment in the second
district; and, he added, "we did
raise regiment, but by G. it
was on the aOrOng side"

Madame de Stael,

Nj. Michelet thus sketches
Madame de Stael:
Madame de Stael, was, unhap-
PLY for herself, not handsome.
Her features in general, and her
nose especially, were large her
her figure stout; her complexion
far from attractive her gestures
were rather energetic than grace
full. Standing with her back to
the chimney, her hands behind
her, she would command atten-
ton by her virile attitude and
her powerful conversation, till
one almost doubted her sex. Yet
at this period she was only TWEEN
ty-fve. Her arms, however,
were beautiful, and her magnif-
cent hair, falling in rich, massive
curls, and her Juno-like throat
and bust caused her features to
appear more feminine. But her
greatest charm, that which atoned
for all defects, was her eyes
those wondrous black eyes !
black, inundated with flame, ra-
diant with genius, with goodness,
with every passion. Her gaze
was a world in itself; even an
enemy could ill leave her pres
ence without exclaiming "Oh
the good, the noble, the excel
lent woman"

connection with and persistent adherence TO-,
and support of his so called Chief Of Army
Police, person expelled from Gen. Grants
army for using thu cavalry and the wagons
of government to obtain cotton, instead Of
bringing in subsistence or guerrilIas, as it
was his official duty and professed anxiety to
DO. Firmly established under ROsecrans,
he, among other things demanded all the Con-
federate money in the banks and exchange
Offices at Nashville, and then instituted and
carried on an extensive and rcmorseless sys.

Gov. Johnson's pressing and repeated re-

and finally became tho element Of the mis-

THE CALL FOR 100000.
cov.rnor,. Proclamation.
srArR o. Iowa,

sSvSAAsVA>
Il srArs o. Iowa, !
| ExgcrTvx 0FyIcE, Oct. 20, 1868,
The President Of the United States ha
called on this State for her quota Of thre
hundred thousand men to fill the ranks Z
our veteran regiments, and has appealed I
me and to the people Of this patriotic Stat
to see that the men arc promptly furnished
as volunteers, before the 9th day of Januar,
next. A draft will be made on that day (
make up any deficiency.
Iamin informed by the Provost Marshal Gen
eral that the quota Of the State of Iowa un
der this call is SOLE.
shall endeavor to have proper credit Civ
en- for volunteers raised during last quarte
and those now raised for the 9th cavalry ant
18th battery.
The recruiting officers for the differen
counties will soon be announced by Proves,
Marshal Generals Department.
The inducements to the recruits are sci
forth in the different orders, &C., which will
be herewith published. In addition to these
the recruits for an old regiment will serve
under officers Of experience. in camp and
field, who know what is needed by the men,
and how, promptly to obtain it, and thus
make the men comfortable.
Besides all this, the recruit will have the
satisfaction and honor Of belonging toa reg
iment which has earned a reputstion--a reg.
iment that has pride in it's history. in main
tanning the honor OF the State, and has
the confidence Of superiors. He will be as
sociated with men who have learned To repose
confidence in themselves and who will quickly
impart the same confidence TO their new as.
sociates.
The new recruit will have the privilege of
selecting the regiment which ne will join,
and by the time the term of service Of some
of the regiments expire in 1864. will have
become educated in his duties and have q
chance for promotion.
! hope the men of Iowa win promptly meet
this call. Our State has hitherto always been
in advance Of all calls made upon her. Shall
she still keep in the advanced Shall we cheer
the hearts and strengthen the hands Of our
brave boys in the field, by filing the ranks
of the gallant regiments which have been
fighting for their country and the flag of the
Union! Let US give to the United States
officers all the assistance in our power to aid
them in their efforts. !::nt counties, towns
md individuals vie in their efforts to meet
The demands Of the General Government
Let US all work for that end. Let u give
'reely Of our time and nesns to promptly Gil
our quota.
Ny term Of service as Governor of this
State will soon expire, and it would be to me
source Of profound qualification if the State
should meet promptly this, as it has met
very other call during the term Of my office.

A lady, the wife If an officer in the South.
ern army, recently arrived in Norfolk, says
she came from Mobile, Ala, and reports that
that city was threatened by the Federal troops
who were near enough when she left to watch
the movements Of the rebel garrison, and the
inhabitants were beginning to thinH that the
city would soon fall into our hands, IA there
were few available troops in the city, and
they were sesorting 10 deceptive measures,
to Keep up the appearance Of larger force
than they really had. Even the women dres.
sed in mems clothes and paraded in the out.
skirts of the city as soldiers, and should the
city be attacked no resistance could DO made
by the present force.
