zion.

The !SchleS wig Holstein question,
which, during the former part of the
year, Threatened to become one OF the
most strio;i- European complications,
has been finally solved by treaty of
peace signed at Vienna on the Both of
October. The treaty still needs rattica-
ton by the Danish Riysraad, but no one
doubts that this ratification will be Civ
en-, and that nus the cause of the long
teu,i between lanes and Germans will
be permanently removed.
The details OF the treaty do not mate
rally differ from the articles OF the pre-
limnary peace which was agreed upon
by the beliigerent powers several
months ago. Denmarl, cedes the three

The ;aty Of peace may, therefore, be
regarded as another step toward u per-
| maneat solution Of the nationality
question. in which the Progressive par
ty Of Europe is deeply concerned. For
in proportion as the feuds about the
rights of nationalities are settled, and
the frontiers of European countries are
readjusted in conformity with the ac-
tual extent of the different nationalities,
the greatest obstacle to the success Of the
Progressive party of Europe will be re-
| moved, and an important battle in its
war against monarchy ard aristocracy
will have been won.-N Y. Tribsoac.

III J. CLENENT.


Within thy temple, Lord, to-day
With songs Of gladness we appear;
Thy goodness prompts the sacred lay
Thy goodness shown through all the year.
The seed-time came, with sun and rain
Thy promised blessings still to prove
And every waving field of grain
Is but the banner Of thy love.
We give Thee thanks that not in vain
Have patriots bled this purple year;
That many n Southern, sulphurOus plain
Has heard the Northern victor's cheer.
We praise Thee that thine arm has stayed
The wrath of old and envious powers,
And that, with spirits undismayed,
We chung to Thee In darkest hours.
Preserve us still in perils dire,
And speed our triumph DER the foe,
That freedoms ven-enkindled fire
May make all hearts with joy Oerfiow.

LINN COUNTY. lien, who muir.
dered a man named Townsend last fall
in Story county, has been.sent to the jail
of Linn county, at Marion, for safe keep
ing until trial. Townsend and McMul-
len were journeying to Idaho when the
murder was committed.
The Washington Democrat, rabid
Copperhead sheet, has suspended for
want Of sufficient support to sustain it.
-Catharine McCardle, convicted at
the October term of the District Court
Of Jackson county, for the murder of her
husband, and sentenced to be hung on
the 9th of December, has had her SEN
tence commuted to hard labor in the

She is now about sixty years of age.
Andrew Thompson, residing near
Elkader, in this State, had his barn, five
horses, five hundred bushels of oats and
eleven tons of hay, beside lot of wheat,
two sets of harness, and other things,
totally destroyed hy fire on the morning
Of election day. 1t Is supposed to have
been the work of some fiendish incen-
diary.
The Newton AdpOcate learns that $.
N. Linley, ESD, of that place, one of
the commissioners to take the army
vote, has written letter to his family,
in which he says that in all probability
he will not be home until next spring.
He arrived at Atlanta, and was there
when the communication Of that place
with the North was destroyed by Gene
raj sherman, and Atlanta burned. He
cannot get back, but will be compelled
to accompany the army in its march to
Charleston.
1t has been discovered that il regular
system exists in some parts Of this State,
among unprincipled persons, to defraud
the sacred fund now being raised for the
establishment of an Iowa Soldiers Or
phan Asylum. The scoundrels collect
falsely pretending to be agents
of the fund. Reverend Pearl =. ingalls,,
the agent, gives notice Of caution to the
people OF Iowa, and says that agents
within the limits of their own county,
and persons authorized by the County
are the only proper persons

The Des Moines Register says sutti-

for the calling together once more Of the
Chicago Convention, in order that it
may die decently and in order, and not
be dying loose all over creation. Hear
the Hon. g. W.--he is sensible TO the
last:
We suggest 10 the Executive Commit

ton the propriety OF calling that body
together, and give it the opportunity to
adjourn sine die. The Convention by
its own resolution. is gifted with q kind
Of quasi Immortality, dependent upon
the vOltion OF its Executive COMMITTEES.
The gentlemen of the Convention are
naturally uneasy under this doom of
eternal organization. After demolish-
ing their PLATFORM, it is the refinement

Influence or the Mother.

1t is the earliest of all human infu-
ences No one can tell when it begins
1t is coeval almost with our birth,
certainly with the first and faintest
dawn of intellectual consciousness
Long before the days Of fartherly cor
rections, or of scholastic discipline, or
of pastoral care, silent, gentle, but
powerful influence is already passing
from the face and voice of the mother
TO the heart of her child.
She has, as it were, the first word /;
she has the early spring Of the soul all
to herself, to SOW the precious seed
Long before the deceiver and betrayer
can approach with their hattering lies,
she may be, through the grace Of God,
laying the foundations of holy principle
deep within the heart The earliest
lessons are the deepest; the earliest
memories are the most abiding
The mothers influence is, of all
Others, the most constant. No other
agency can, in this point Of view, be
brought into comparison with it. 1t
surrounds the little ones like an atmos-
phere.
A mothers influence is also the most
lasting. The life and the JOY of home,
its gentle sway does not terminate on
our leaving the parental roof Like a
guardian angel, it still follows us
through all the future scenes of life.
1t is said that poor slave-bOy was
separated from his mother while yet O
child, and settled, under hard master,
on a plantation thirty miles away.
Though thus at no great distance, they
were scarcely ever permitted to meet
one another. But the heart Of the
child was still in the home Of his
mother; her smiles cheered him in his
tolls, and her image visited him in his
dreams
My mother" he says, occasionally
found an opportunity TO send me some
token Of remembrance and affection
sugar plum or an apple; but l scarcely
ever ate them; they were laid up, and
handled, and weptoyer, till they wasted
away in my hands
Touching, sacred words So there,
too, and among those hapless children
of oppression, the sanctity of home is
felt; nor can long and weary absence,
nor all the power of tyrant law, rend
asunder those hearts whom God, by his
own blessed bond, has united together
