THE PHILosoPHIcAL FRAME.

Ny clothing's ragged you declare9
Well, then, it can't be spoiled.
My wardrobe is of linen bare2
Ny linen can't be soiled.
No credit have /, you believer
That fact don't forget;
But then. my friend, as you'll perceive,
can not run in debt.
No dinner have had to-day?
Well, no. Again you're right;
But I'll have no dyspepsia,
Or horrid dreams tonight.
No place to sleep2 Well, I'm contents
I've often walked the street:
But then you know pay no rent
And have no bills to meet.
Twill kill me soon to live this way7
Well, why should repine?
You, too, will die, your frame decay.
And turn to dust like mine.
Should we in dust together dwell,
Though now you're dressed so fine,
a century hence no one could tell
Which were your bones, which mine.
The thought brings solace oft to me,
Though suffer here / must;
There shall be true equality
When we are in the dust.

THE IOWA LEGIsLATURE.
Both sherman and Larrabee Discuss
the PrOhibiIOry LAW.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 14.-GOY. Sher-
man delivered his biennial message to the
legislature to-day. On the Temperance
quest ion he says that though smuggling
against the influence of hypocutical friends
and the vigorous onslaughts Of its enemies,
the law has sustained itself. He claims
that there is less liquor drinking in Iowa
than formerly, and less crime,
and urges that it be so cen
tinued, and made more rigorous.
The oath of Office was administered this
afternoon to Gov. Larrabee. In his inaug-
ural address the new governor recommended
the enactment of more stringent laws for
stamping out contagious disease among cat
tie and swine, and favored the creation of
a state board of arbitration 10 settle differ
ences between labor and capital. He fav-
Ored the pensioning of all Union soldiers
and also law to govern telegraph tolls, fix
ing a maximum rate of % cents for twenty
words between any points in the state.
The governor urged fair trial Of the pres
ent liquor law. He said the law had not
yet proved a success and it was not fail
IRE. The law should at least remain upon
the law books of the state until its constitu-
tionality had been tested. He referred to the
violation of the law in large cities and said
that the honor of the state demanded that
its majesty be indicated. He thought the
whole power of the state should be used if
necessary to secure obedience

Republicans will undoubtedly carry through

Another compromise scheme suggested by
some Democrats is 10 divide Dakota by the
line Of the Missouri river a. far north as the
point over the center OF the territory, where
the river turns sharply TO the west, and
thence due north on an imaginary line.
Nearly all the population is east of this
line. West of this line there is little ex-
eept reservations, and it would be
twenty years before Western Da-
kota would be candidate for
admission. The object Of this is apparent
