I beg to call the attention of our citizens

darkness of midnight and under the sccur.
ity Of lock and key. There are one or two
houses in particular which are at this mo.
ment causing more affection in this city,
than our people are aware of.
There are some two or three meu
here who seem to profess the gambling
trade and who surely do not invite the ap
proval Of the public in this unholy voca.
ton. Can this state Of things be remedied
Can this social cancer be healed?
Public feeling may induce . discontinu
ancc Of the nefarious practice. Or the jus
ticc Of the outraged laws Of Iowa might be
invoked against these houses. A fine oil
three hundred dollars would undoubtedly
have magical effect on the cupidity Of the
keepers Of these houses. And il those met

and deaf to every other consideration, fol
reasons the most serious, the writer of this
for one, would hail the termination OF thei.
evil doings, If even SO severe lninitor Of
the laws Of their country had produced
that result. Most respectfully yours,

that all your limbs and organs AYE, even

Poetry
A Tale of Society.

Two fashionable ladies' who were thought,
For married danes, much gayer than they ought
Had lsng been friends, and so attached at heart
That they indeed were seldom seen apart.
AZ length It chanced--by some imprudent act
From which suspicion guessed . naughty fact
One came 10 grief; for busy scandal :uDg
The cruel rumor with rele ntless tongue.
Her late companion (such her friendships proofD
Hearing the tale, discreetly kept aloof;
Until, by chance-as other people meet
One day they came together in the street,
When thus the angry dame expressed her mind;
"ts this the way--ungrSteful!--you defend
The injured honor Of your dearest friend I"
"Nay." said the other, IL am truly sad
On your account-it really Is too bad
Bu then, my dear, reflect what could dol
haven't character enough for two!'
Tom Hood to His Wife.
Those eyes that were br light, love,
Have now DINNER shine
But all they've lost IN light, love,
Was what they gave to mine;
Bat still those orbs reflect, love,
The beams Of former hours
That ripeoed all my joys, ICY love,
And tinted all my flowers I
Those locks were brown to see, love,
That now are turned to grey;
But the hours were spent with me love,
That stole their hue away.
Thy locks no longer share, love,
The COLDER glow Of noon
But I've seen the world look fair, my love,
When silvered by the moon!
That brow was smooth and fair, love
That looks shaded now;
But for me it hore the care, love,
That spoiled bonny brow,
And though no longer there, love.
The gloss 1t had of yore,
Still memory looks, aud quotes, my love,
Where uope sdmii I'd before.
