The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1872-10-11
PLAIN DEALER,


No man can be wise upon an empty
stomach.
To know how to wait is the secret of
success.
Reprove thy friend privately; CON-
mend him publicly.
The happy man is the Que who con-
siders himself so.
How sweet it is to have the bird in
the bosom sing sweetly.
Temperance is corporal piety; it is
the preservation Of divine order in the
body.
When We meet in heaven we shall
sec how little we knew about it on
earth.
No man ever did a designed injury to
another without doing a greater to him
self.
1t is more difficult and calls for high
er energies of soul to live martyr than
to die one.
What can We say more for ourselves
in our prayers than He has said for US
in his promises?
What an absurd thing it is to pass
over all the valuable parts of a man,
and fix our attention on his infirmi-
ties.
1t is easy to look down on others;
to look down on ourselves is the diff
Guilty.
The heart Of a wise man should re-
sembles mirror, which reflects every
object without being sullicd with
any.
The Dubuque Herald says if things
so small can have comparison that
Aleck Clark's speeches are better than
Judge Wright's
One Of Blaine's highest Ames
seems to have been Cakes Ames. So
with Wilson and others who saw fat
goose in the Pacific railroad.
Of course, the next thing in order
with the Radical press will be series
Of astounding revelations concerning
the moral depravity Of Ex-Governor
| Curtin.

4Ox6O for $780," were adjoining in
scriptions at the Sea Cliffs camp-mcet-
ing grounds
An Omaha paper advises the people
not to make SO much fuss about the
shooting of a constable, as there are
forty candidates for the office.''
From Atlanta to the Sea-" the
Liberals have swept things, marching
through Georgia."
A mistake was never more aptly
opposite than that Of the State Press,
which by shifting of the types, head
ed the Straight-Out Love Feast at
Des Moincs, Wool Growers Conven-
ton.
A Radical paper in Kansas denies
in terms Of volcanic Indignation, that
Henry Wilson or any Of the rest Of 'em
ever had cents worth of stock in the
"Mobilc railroad company.
Two notable events have occurred
in Pennsylvania politics within short
time. Ex-Gov. Curtin has come out
for Buckalew and Greeley. Yerkes
has come out (of State PRISON. for
Hartranft and Grant.
The Worcester Gazette says: "For
a good, round, fully-developed "straw"
commend us to the vote taken at the
reunion of the Thirty-sixth Massa chu-
sets regiment: Grant, 225; Greeley, 2.
1t was this regiment which during the
late war carried three hundred and
ninety-sev en- hen-roosts without the
loss of a man.
The best joke yet was perpetrated
yesterday on Surrogate Taggart.-
When introduced to Governor Alvord,
he held out his hand with the re mark:
That's a good Grant hand, Governor.
Then l regret have not something
to put into it," replied Old Salt.

arc the only ones l was ever in in my
life said Mr.. Lincoln. Every likely"
responded the rogue, ''but I've been
in all the rest"
