guide to proper management of their own homes.
1t is written with that only acquired by long
practice as writer, and the work throughout is
inspired by that purpose which has been the
uniform aim and the secret of the success of all of
Marion Harland's writings--to show the dignity
of needful labor, and the beauty, grace, and
sacredness of what is called Common Life" as
it Is developed in our American homes.

Another ROorback,

The Mr.. Pleasant Journol, and
the Sioux City JournoI, and the
Burlington Xo'rkeye, and the
Harlan journals generally, are just
now employed in making a parade
over the fact that Hon. James F.
Wilson was recently elected a dircc-
tor in the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Missouri Railroad Company,
and that Hon. VIM. B. Allison was
at the same time elected director
in the Iowa Falls and Sioux City
Railroad Company, and that each
were elected director of the respec-
tive Land and Construction Com
panics connected with these roads.
OF course tho parade of this fact is
for the purpose of putting Mr.. ALI
son and Mr.. Wilson in a position
Of antagonism to the sentiment of
the State which looks to just con-
troll of railroad corporations and of
their freight and passenger tariffs.
1t it does not mean this, it means
nothing, for certainly there is moth
ing discreditable in being identified
with railroad enterprises. All over
the State the best men of all
opinions and parties and co-opcra-
ting together to extend railroad ia
cili,ics, and every paper and every
citizen, halls the inception of a new
enterprise in the way OF railroad ex-
tension as a matter for public con
graduation. 1t is only when rail
road men claim the right of their
companies to place what burdens
they please upon the people in the
way of freight and passenger tariffs,
that they stand opposed to the pub
lie interests, and deserve the public
animadvcrsion. DO Mr.. Wilson or
Mr.. Allison so stand in their po-
sition as directors in the companies
named?
The Iowa Falls and Sioux City
Railroad Company and the Cedar
Rapids and Missouri River Rail
road Company, are Raitrood Con,-
pu,ie$ only in mime. They have
leased their roads in perpctuity to
the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany and to the Chicago North
western Railroad Company at Il fix
ed rental. They do not haze any,
thing Ia do mith moking ruiiro"d
tayit$ or rith operating their roads.
Neither Mr.. Allison or Mr.. Wilson
are, or can be, as directors of these
roads, in any way responsible for
freight or tariff charges. They
hare no interest m these chayyes,
for whether the torif he high or
hpr, their companies receire tie
sumo.
The truth is that the main, if not
the only, Importance of these rail
road and land and construction
companies Of which Mr.. Allison and
Mr.. Wilson, in July last, became
directors, relates to the disposition
of the lands of which they have be-
come possessed. 1t was with an
idea that they could do something
towards bringing about proper
policy as to the disposition OF these
lands that these gentlemen con

Victory.

Following the cheering news of
Republican victories in Wyoming a
few weeks since, comes more OF
the same fashion from California
and from Maine. Extremes have
met. California in the golden west
shakes hands with rugged, rock
bound Maine in the furthest east,
each -ongratulating the other on a
substantial victory for Republican
principles.
In California the Republicans re-
verse the order of things with a
sweep. They have elected the
Governor Qast year DemocraD
by r.ajority of nearly 5000; three
members Of Congress, two of the
districts being represented by
Democrats before; and majority
of both branches of the Legislature
which gives them the choice of a
U. S. Senator in place of Cole, Dem
ocrat.
Maine not to be out done follows
suit with a majority for Gov. Per
ham of IL 900 against little over
5000 last year, gain Of nearly
1900 in one year. The Legislature
is overwhelmingly Republican. On
the eve of the election, the Demo
cratic Central Committee sent ont
secret circular urging tormida-
Bile rally on election day to carry
the State, assuring them that vic
tory was certainly within their
grasp, and that it would "assure us
a glorious national victory in 1872. y
Bat it did not work. The Republic
cans got wind Of the plot, them
selves made the rally, and the
glorious result is before the coun-
try. When and where comes III
the reaction which is to drive the
Republican party from power? Are
these the anticipated results OF the
"\cw npnarturc.>

is the pledge, better than oath or
affirmation, that neither is to be for
gotten by the other, although the
true parting, as we all know, took
place elsewhere, rs above stairs
perhaps in the room of the old bid,
who graciously assented, and lived
back thirty years in the sound of
her daughters kiss.
The three fond periods of life are
the first consciousness of love re-
turned, the summer last before mar
riage, when all the course is smooth,
and next, the early months of the
first baby, when the man feels Il lit
tie queer and the woman is perfect
~ self-posesscd again.
The woman engaged fully and
distinctly in love is the highest type
of human fidelity. See this one,
abandoned to week of the longest
enn"i possible to her nature, the alb
sence Of her atfianced; a man
would perhaps balance it by the vi
olence of his pleasures, and smother
expectation in gaity; like the sestal
who knows not the day nor the hour
when her master cometh, the en-
gagged woman becomes, for her sake,
the subject Of her own exalted re-
spect. Her body and soul, her
walk and conversation, are purer in
her eyes because they have been
promised away. She draws around
herself the circle OF the solemn
church, and all society falls beyond
the line; but one man can cross it.
The beach, the ball, the promenade
etherealize, and, no longer partaken
in romp and volatility, find her still
higher above reproach each Satur-
day successfully, till at last, when
the season ends, and with it the last
campaign Of her beauty, she abdi.
Gates, like Zenobia, without an &C
cession, a secret or lament. A
woman in love knows when hel
mind is made up; man thinks he
| does.

THE Cedar Falls Gazette, which
at the outset Of the contest for Scna-
tor gave a mild support to Allison,
at Il later stage of the game occu-
pied the topmost rail of high
fence, and finally week or two
since alightcd on the Harlan dung
hill with great rutfling of feathers
and portentous cackle, seems dis
posed to make amends for its pre-
viously enforced silence on the
Senatorial question. Its later issues
abound in quips and cranks and
squibs and pungcnt punches and
gibcs and smart hits-besides some
not smart-and all the small engi-
merry of which Snyder knows the
use SO well, all designed to advance
the cause Of Harlan-and Melendy.
Snyder appears to enjoy the popgun
practice hugely; Harlan and Melen-
dy are no doubt agreeable; it harms
nobody, and we do not see why the
readers of the Gazette should not be
grateful for the introduction of a
very amusing feature Of the paper.

sented to enter the directories of
these companies. They 1eiered
that for tile benefit Of the companies,
for the benefit Of the unsettled sec
tons Of the State, for the benefit
Of the State at large, these lands
ought to be cheaply and rapidly
sold, and this is what their eonnec-
ton with these roads means.
If, then, this parade Of these
"entlemcn's railroad connection was
intended to intimate that they are
opposed to the efforts of the people
to place proper restrictions upon
railroad tariffs, it is simply a gross
misrepresentation. We can say, so
far as Mr.. Allison is concerned, that
he has most emphuticdUy recognized
the right IF a State to control the
railroads arithin Tier borders, and 10
regulote their charges. While we
don't conceive that the question is
one having any just connection
with the Senatorial contest, we
meet it thus plainly, as Mr.. Harlan's
friends have brought it forward
Dubuque Times.

TaEuany Checked.

The precious nest OF Democratic
thieves and pirates which consii-
tute the city and county government
of New York, and arc known as the
Tammany ring, have at last received
Il setback in their guilty career.
Impelled by fully aroused public
sentiment and on the complaint OF
John Foley, q private citizen and
taxpayer Of that city, Judge Barn
ard, of the Supreme Court, granted
IN injunction which practically for
bids the Board Of Supervisors Of the
county of New York, Hall, Connol-
~, Tweed and Sweeney, from rails
ing any money by taxation or other
wise, or from auditing bills against
the corporation until such time as
n full statement of the financial sit
uation of the city is forthcoming.
The complaint sets forth in detail
some of the more fragrant rascalities
of the ring. 1t shows that s2o, oo0,-
900 is the largest amount which
could legally be raised for all pur-
poses for the year 1871; that, of this
sum nine millions should have been
set apart for payment on the city
and county debt, and yet, that du-
RING the first six months of 1871 the
rascally ring had expended for Sour
rent city expenses" 100000, 900, four
millions; in excess Of the whole
amount authorized to be raised for
the year, including the payment on
the debt. To provide for this latter
purpose the ring were about to issue
bonds when brought up with round
turn by the injunction. In this
strait the Tammany thieves arc hav-
ing q lively quarrel among them
selves. \ Jonah being deemed
necessary to save the sinking craft,
Connolly is selected by his confed-
crates for that role. Hall demands
his resignation but Connolly re-
fuses to resign. 1t is also reported
that Peter b. Sweeney, the brains of
the villainous quartette, is about to
abandon it to it's fate.

How They Are when they are in
Love.

Froma Cape May Letter by George Alfred Town
send.
Nothing is so pretty rs to see the
engaged folks part on Monday
morning, the fowler to go back to
business for Il whole week, the en-
shared to stay at the Cape counting
the days of his absence. To see
this scene you must get up ut six Of
the clock, for it is the early train
that the young men of business must
take. The young man in his dus-
ter, little dragged out, slips down
with his valise, and at the foot of
the stairs, spying the inexorable ON
nibus, halts II minute to let the bird
catch up to him. Also II little worn
with early rising and late last eve
ming, the bird hops down stairs in
her yellow morning plumage, and
formally shakes the young man by
the hand; and as he recedcs, and
turns once ut the threshold to look
back with that glance which is the
respectful ycarning Of all that he
knows or hopes for, it meets, already
fixed, the birds farewell, poured out
of her eyes like note OF melody
That look is the loving solace of the
week, the one ration on which love
must march for six days, till Satur-
day briggs another rendezvous. It
