this morning:
The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1872-10-25

The tory journals of London rcjoice
warmly over what they conceive to be
the utter discontinue of the democrat
ic-libcrals in our recent state elections,
and exult in the promise Of President
Grants reelection. It is a comfort,
at any rate, not to have the sympa-
thies of such newspapers. When they
praise nything American, we naturally
wonder what our countrymen have
done to deserve such retribution. The
British press has no affection for the
press of this country. 1t hates, when
it cannot conveniently manifest con-
tempt for us, and we can scarcely re-
member an instance within the past
twenty five years in which, between ita
gross ignorance of American affairs,
and its grosscr prejudice, it has ever
eondesccnded to do US ''even-handed
Justice" During our late civil war i
was quite as complimentary to Jeffer
son Davis as it now Is to Presiden
Grant, and sang just as many hosanna
over the occasional defeat Of th
Northern arms, as It does at presen
over those of the allied democrats AM

1. Be brief: this is the age Of tele-
graphy and stenography.
,. Be pointed: don't go all round
a subject without hitting it.
3. State facts: don't stop to NOR
alize-that's drowsy business. Let the
reader do his own dreaming.
4. Es:hew preface, plunge at once
into your subject, like bold swimmer
into deep river.
5. If you have written a sentence
you think particularly fine, consider
seriously about drawing your pen
through it. A pet child is always the
worst of the family.
6. Condense make sure that you
really have an idea, and then record it
in the shortest terms possible.
I. When your article is complete,
strike out nine-tenths Of the adjectiyes:
the English is a strong language. g.,
s. Avoid all bigh-Aown language !:
the plain Anglo Saxon words are best.
Never use stills when the legs will do,
8. Make your sentences short
every period is milestone, at whicf
the reader may halt and rest himself
10. Write legibly.

OCTOBER. .

"Grey mists at morn brood DER the earth
Shadowy as those on Northern Seas;
The gossamer's filmy work is done,
Like web by moonlight fairies spun,
And left to whiten in the breeze.
Fair sails the thistle's hoary down;
All summers fewers have passed away,
This is the appointed time for seed,
From the forest oak to the meanest weed
A time Of gathering and decay"
The summer has indeed gone !! The
bright tints Of the gay flowers have
faded. and the motely garb Of the
trees speaks only Of maturity and de-
cay. The leaf, the flower, each serves
a purpose in the world, and having
more or less accomplished it, departs.
Solemn thoughts are suggested by the
accession of autumn, the falling of the
leaf, the mist-hung scenery, and fading
vegetation. for there is enough of the
poetic temperament OF the majority t."
apply the analogy to human life,
"which groweth up like the grass and
tomorrow is cut down and withcred."
October, in the Roman calendar,
was originally the sth month, and
hence it's name, which it retained after
the beginning of the year, had been
changed from March to January. In
Roman mythology, October was sacred
ta Ma-s-~0 0ctnher fnrewarns us of the
short days and cold nights, Of rafting
hail and penetrating slcct, Of bowling
winds and dismal fogs and mists.-
Though warning US that "thesc miscr-
les" are en- route, October is generally
a very pleasant month OH this side of
the Atlantic, "Old Probabilities gen.
orally giving us weather that may be
called comfortable and scasonable"-
neither too hot nor too cold.

when it is usual to look back upon the
past aud publicly thank the Almighty
for his mcrcies and his blessings and.
WHEEEAs, If any one people has
more occasion than another for such
thankfulness, it is the citizens of the
United statts, whose government Is
their creature subject to their behests,
who have rese, we'd to themselves ample
civil and religious freedom and equality
before the law, who, during the last
twelve months have enjoyed exemption
from any greyious Or general calamity,
and to whom prosperity in agriculture,
manufacture and commerce has been
vouchsafed; ..
Therefore, By these considerations
T recommend that on Thursday, the
2Sth day of November next, the peo-
pie meet in their respective houses Of
worship, and there make their acknowl-
edgements to God for His kindness and
bounty.

Beautiful Forever.

We do not know to whom the reader
is indebted for the following lines, but
think few will read them without
pleasure, aud that some may profit by
the lesson they teach. ...
How to be beautiful when old!
can tell you, maiden fair
Not by lotions, dyes md r;sn'vuts
Not by washes for your hair,
While you're young be pure and gentle !;
Keep your passions we'll controll'd,
Walk, work, and do your duty,
You'll be handsome when you're old.
Snow-white locks are fair as golden,
Grey as lovely as the brown,
And the smiles Of age more pleasant
Than youthful beauty's frown.
IT'S the soul that shapes the features,
Fires the eye, nttunes the voice;
Sweet sixteen. be these your maxims,
When you're sixty you'll rejoice.
Our young maidens should, as Cicero
says, .follow Nature as a Divinity"
Powders, paints and washes but help
the destroyer, Time, to fade the fairest
brow, and rosiest cheek.
IT'S the soul that shapes the features,
Fires the eye, attunes the voice
"Snow-white locks are fair AZ golden. -
There is no use in trying to be what
one is not. "Follow Nature as a
Divinity" She must not be caricatur-
ed, Age has beauty as well as youth.
Who will deny this to the well-spent
life? Though the body grow old and
inarm, the mind may glisten, and age
be most beautiful without the gloss Of
art. We find fault with what is
spurious only. The beautiful in Ma
ture is essential to the pleasures of the
well-organized mind, and that mind
which is most matured and enlightened
is most susceptible Of it. If beauty
were not essential to the mind We
would not have the flowers Of the field
to minister delight to man and beau
tify the earth" Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one o
these even arrayed like thai
little wild flower, on the ruins, o
which Mrs. Hemans says, 1T gild'
destruction with smile and beautifie
decay" We repeat, follow Natur'
as Divinity" Let the girls lear
lessons Of modesty and beauty fron
the innocent flowers. Even in thei
dress they may copy innumerable d.
signs from the flowers, and learn 0
the harmony Of colors, and charms Q
light aud shade, but away with you
dyes. powders. paints. washes an
"waterfalls."

thing else. The "I-told-you-so'' men
have moro faith in evil than in good,
and in temper than in reason Let
them understand that the half secured
is better than nothing--.that we are
laying the foundation Of a great. future
that we are fighting not so much for
men or party, glad as we should be to
aid both. as to put down an Admins
tration which has made wilderness of
the South and covered the people there
with more debt and more disaster in
time Of peace than during the whole
war.--From the N. Y. Express.
