Honest, upright and fearless conduct
must needs have admirers, though many
people are unable to perceive actual
merit, because they live and move in a
misty atmosphere of prejudice. No
young man ought to be cast down be-
cause one or More ofhis acauintances are
inclined to reject him and underate his
merits. The time is sure to come when
modest worth will meet thereward which
is it's due, and when the long-continued
and patient aspirations for ambition
will be qualified. If a young man is
disliked and neglected by those from
whom he ought to expect the best of
treatment, let him remark that they are
but one, OF two, or three out of the
millions of humanity. While there is
life there is hopei and those who habit
ually ilI-treat others may be forced to
solicit faVors from the hands of those
upon whom they have spent their sup
erciliOusness.

the country to collect his pay, to a
farmer who sells his wheat on credit,
and not more than % bushel to any

experiment of distributing the pro-
ceeds of his labor over two or three
counties, with an additional one,
two or three distant States, for one
year, we will guarantee that he will
never, after that years experience,

JUST HOW Hii'teu lue d top! Vi lhe
National Democrat, and called my
attention to q communication from
the pen of Mr.. Rowe, the evident
design of which is to mislead and
make a false impression.
In my letter to the TRIBUNE |
simply gave a few items of passing
events in the Capital City, and,
amongst others, referred to the dis
cussion in the Assembly on the
Chaplaincy /; and / still believe my
criticism on that discussion was
mild, in comparison with what it
deserved; and | see no reason why
] should "take back" anything said
of the course and conduct of "the
gentleman from Iowa"
An attempt is made to change the
question, and say the discussion
was upon the appropriation of mon
ey to pay Chaplains; whereas all
h1aoc the discussion was upon the
following resolution, introduced by
Mr.. Foster:
Resolved, That the Speaker is hereby re-
quested to invite the resident clergy Cd the
city OF Madison to open the Assembly on
each morning during the session, with PRAYER" ."
And on this resolution Mr.. Rowe
voted no, (see journal of Assembly J
1t Is not difficult to divine the
motive which prompted the Hon. (!)
gentleman to publish the document
purporting to be from the resident
clergy of Madison. He would make
the impression that the reason why
| Gid not "pray for the benighted
members of the Legislature" was
because the "pay" would not be
forthcoming, whea he must have
known that, a'tl- ugh ! reside in
this city, / am n01 PuSto,' of cit,J
church, consequently e-os NOT aacla,1-
ed in the invitation; nor was / un-
der any more obligation to"put in an
appearance" than the several Pas
tors of your own city, or the ten
other non-oliiciating Pastors now
residing in Madison.
Further | will only say to the Great
Re1olmer that his dishonest course
IN trying to make false impressions
IN reference to myself only exhibits
the animus of the would-be Senator.
And it is cincerely hoped that the
friends of true Reform will eru0aiae
his record during the session of the
Legislature just closed upon the
liquor question, the Sunday laws,
&c., and they will see to it that he
shall not "siSrqreSe,1 them in the
Senate next winter, as / am in
formed he hopes to do.
Hoping that necessity will not
compel me again to trouble you
with a letter on matters personal,
| am yours truly,
f. TASKER.

THE first number of the SEMI
WEEKLY ISTER-OCEAN will be is
sued on Monday, March 80. The
constantly-increasing demand from
that large class who do not desire a
daily, and who are not content with
weekly installments of news, has
induced this new venture, The
endeavor viii be to make the semi
weekly edition such as to contain
| the best features Of both a daily and
a weekly newspaper. Not less than
two pages will be devoted TO tclc-
graphic news, and one page each
to editorial discussions and to com
mercial reports. The remaining
four pages will comprise colrespon-
dence from all parts of the world,
stories, and miscellaneous articles, a
literary department, q farm and
home department, and sucE other
matter as will make the SEMI-WEEK-
| LY ISTER-OCEAN interesting and
instructive to its readers Of every
condition and occupation Adver-
tisements and local news will occupy
less space than in the Daily, and
proportionately more room will be
given to reading matter. The same
high standing that has obtained for
the Daily and Weekly such an ex-
tended patronage will be maintained.
We are prepared to furnish the
SEMI WEEKLY INTER-OCEAN to-
TRIBUNE Subscribers at $3.50 per
