J3f The year has passed into the "scar and yellow leaf " Tho days of melancholy musings have come, and tht mind involuntaril; reverts to Bryant's " Death of the Flowers," a poem of unsurpassed beauty, and one which makes tho annual round of tho pross. We present it this week without apology. It will bear rending at least once a year, and seems to improve with age : Tho melancholy days havocome, Tho saddest of tho year j Of wailing winds and naked woods, And meadows brown and sere, Heaped in the hollows of tho grove, Tho withered loaves lie dead; i'hey rustle to tho eddying gust And to tho rabbit's trend; The robin and the wren havo flown, And from the shrub the jay; And from tho wood top calls the crow, Through all tho gloomy day. Whore aro tho flowers, the fair young flowers, That latoly sprang and stood In brighter light and sufter airs, A beauteous sisterhood! Alas, they aro in tbeir graves, The gentle race of flowors, And lying in their grassy, lowly bed With tho fair and good of ours. Tho rain Is falling whoro thoy lie, But theeold November rain Calls uot out from tho gbomy earth The lovely ouos again. Tho wild flower and the violet, They perishod long ago, And tho briar rose nnd the orchis died Amid tho summer glow ; But on the hill the golden rod, And the nstor in tho wood, And the yell w sun-flower by the brook In autumn beauty stood, Till fell tho frost from tho clcor.coM heavon, As fell tho plagno on men, And the brightness of their fniile was gone From upland, gland and glen. And now when comes tho onlm, mild day, As still such days will come, To call the squirrel and the boo From out their winter homo, When, the sound of dropping nnts is heard, Though all the trees are still, And twinkle in the smoky light The waters of tho rill ; The south wind senrchos for tho flowors - Whose fragrance late ho bore, And sighs to find them in tho wood And by tho stream no mora. And then I think of nno who In Her youthful beauty died, The fair, mock blossom that grew np And faded by my side ; s In tho cold, moist earth wc laid her, When the forest cast the leaf, And won't thatono so lovely Should havo a lifo so brief. Yot not Anmoet it was that one, Like that young friend of ours, Se gontle and so beautiful, Should perish with the flowors. Iowa History. We gather some items in relation to the history of religion in Iowa, from a sermon by Wm. Slater at Burlington, anrT published in the Hawkeyo. "One hundred and eighty years ago this summer during tho sunny month of Juno tho whito man's feet first pressed tho soil of Iowa ' Fifty-five years neit December, the ownership of this soil pussed into the hands of the United States. Twenty-flvo years ago June 1st, 1853, ihis portion of our State, which lies along the Mis-issippi Ri ver, was open to civilization. The Methodist is the oldest religion in the Suite the first sermon having been delivered in Burlington in 183i,by Peter Cartwright from Mi nois. The same year a class was formed. A quarterly meeting was held, and the Sacra- wont of the Lord' Supper administered for the flint time, in 1835, by Andrew Monroe, Presiding Eldor of Taliuyra Pistrict, Missou ri Conletenre, with which Burlington was erected in 1838, and was th first house ol worship built in the State. The first Baptist church was organ inized in Danville, Dea moine County in 1834. KrOn Monday last, James E. Lewis, Eq , having received his commission arid and been duly qualified, cnti rod on the discharge of bis duties as Post Master ol Newark. ihKarlAivKat, Uev. 10. i ST 1 equnro...

A day or twongo, a poor miserable follow, a mechanic, a good "no some two years ngo, was arrested fur stealing some trilling article, llo Was drunk when ho cotQinittoJ the theft. He was committed to j;iil to await his trial to-day. List night ho was seized with mania a potti, nnd in this cuulii. ion was conveyed to a watcli hoiiHu this m iming. At intervals he appeared perleetly rational, and at others he would rave in tlio most hideous manner. Ilia ravings created stiirtlin? sensations even in that 1 1-ice used to tuch scenes.' When we fi st saw him hu was sitting quietly in his cell. Suddenly he arose and gave an inhuman howl. ' Great God!" he then screamed, "ihe devil will get me; tho devils are waiting for me! 0! this is terrible it's hell, it's hell, it's hell! Ho then sat down and covored his laco with his hands. Remaining so a minute, ho again spoke calmly at Hist: "Gentlemen, I've been a wicked man, but my only crime was drinking whiskey. O! why do men sell it! O! ain't this terrible. my stomach is all burnt out. I can't livci gentlemen. Good God! I've got to die. Die! die! die. nd then ho raved fearfully again. Suddenly ho turned to the stationkeeper and thus pitenusly plead: "Take me to the Hospital. Oh! for God'a sake, take mo to the Hospitnl. They'll give me medicine there; maybe it will euro n e. Gentlemen, this is the worstcase of mania-a- pottt you ever saw. Tell the doctors at the Hospital so, and let them try end cure mo. Let every man say, this is the worse case that ever happened, and if I euro this man, I'lKdo a great thing. Oh, hell! I'm eat up with whisky. My stomach is all on fire, oh, oh, O! God, save tne! And then his ravings became terrible. Once he attempted to dance, but his action become demoniac. Large doses of a mixture for such cases were given him, and he finally became somewhat quieted. It was a terrible exhibi tion of that awful disosso, the delerium tro mcins. Beware young men, keep away from the foul sinks of hell; shun tho bloated ven der of whiskey as you would a viper. "Woe unto him that pnttcth the bottle to bis neighbors lips." (in Ctnitntra'al. Country Papers Their Use. Country Papers aro of much more uso than the people imsgino. They aid in directing public 'attention to matters in which every citizen of the country is more or less into: ested. They contribute, in a variety of ways, to to (he formation of public opinion on subjects of public interest. They aid in giving character and importance to the county in which they aro published.They stimulate a taste for reading, and dis seminate, in the course of one year, a vast amount ol useful information which would not reach n portion of their readers through anv other channel. They are of essential use in a family in fos- toting a taste for reading among children. Country papers enjoy a great a .vantage in this respects over papers published nt a distance; beca se many of their items aro of a l ical interest, which naturally attracts a child's attention. The advertising columns of these papers are particularly attaactive to this class of read ers. Country papers, by Ihe local information they contain, are often the means of drawing new nnd valuable citizens to the county in which they are published. To tho objection we do r.ot unfrequcr.tly hear urged against the support of counliy papers th;u the price enarged for them is too high may be replied, that the price atwliich the paper can bo afforded, depends mainly upo- the number of subscribers. The chief expense in tho publication of a paper, consists in setting up the matter, one thousand, or even ten thousand copies can be furui hed at a very small addition to the cost over and above that of composition. A father's Advice. Many years ago, I remember a young man leaving his parental roof to do for himself.-- On the eve of quitting his native mill-village, his father placed a roll of bank bills in his hand, with thi9 advice "Jostah. you are aro about to go out into the world where its a good deal wider than tis here and no fence round it neither. Take them bills; and mind ye, keep your fingers onto 'em light, for the wind's mighty apt to blow 'em where you'll never see 'em again. You haintgot a hard finish odicat ion, but I tell yo, Josiah, common school lamin' is jist as good as the hard finish, if you only know how to handle it. Dor't swear dou't throw the dips don't play keards don't hang about taverns but yer may chaw torbacker, cause yer dud doc. Don't cheat anybody what can't afford to stand it; them as can, you may put the hard finish onto as thick as yon like. Keep a stiff upper lip, Josiih, and don't let nobody impose on ye. II (bey do just you bring out thetn hard-finish licks what yer old dad has guv ver for herimnce." Sersed him IUonT. A few diyi sineo, man residing near Galena. Illinois.took a load of potatoes to that town to sell, but not boing able lo get a higher offer than 10 cents a bushel, he declined selling, and threw the load into Fever river. He was arrested thereupon taken before the authorities and fined $14 for obstructing the navigation, Political Power in tho Free and Slave States.. Before tho admission of Minnesota, at the last session of Congress, thora were sixteen free and fifteen slave States. Tho white population of the Connor, by tho census oC 1850. was 13,238,670; and of the latter 6,412,C05. The toinl population of tho frea States, was 13,434 780; nnd tho free population of the slave Suites was G,412,GU5. Tlu sixteen free Smtes have in tho United States Senate thirty-two members, and the fifteen slove Stales thirty Dividing the Irco population nf each section by its number of Senators, it will bo seen that each Senator from tho free stutcs represents 419 h31 free citizens; while each me from the elavo states represents only 213,420. The House of Representatives in Congrers consistsof 234 members; 144 from the free and 00 Irum the slave states. Stating it in round nuiul ers, thirteen million fiuo citizens in the sixteen free Slates are represented by 144 membors ninety thousand to each Representative, and six million free people in the fifteen slave States aro represented by 00 mem-bers sixty-six thourand to each Ropresenta. live. This difference between the freo population of their two sections and the representation arises from the fact that, in determining the ratio of representation to which each State is entitled, five slaves are reckoned equal to three free citizens. There are in the slave States, by the last census, 3,200,304 slaves. These are reckoned, in fixing tho ratio nf representation from each State, equal to 1,920, 1822 5 free citizens. Such is tho representation accorded to what is called slavo proper. ty. That property is represented in the Na tional Legislature, but it is not, according to the pro-slavery interpretation of tho Constitution, entitled to citizenship. If slavo property had not this representation, the number of Ripresantatives from tho jj-ee States would be 159 instead of 144; and jn the slave States 75 instead of 90 This would be a gain of 30 in the free States, making their representation more than double that of the slave States, Were such a change made, Kentucky, Lou. siana, North Carolina and Tenncsseo, would each lose one representative; Alabama. Geor gia and Mississippi, would each lose two; and South Carolina, three; Illinoisjntiiuna, Maine, Michigan and New Hamshire . would each gain one; Ohio and Pennsylvania would each gain two; and Now York, three. There are 29G electors fir Piesident, chosen at each Presidential election. Ol these the sixteen free States, with a free population of 13,000,000 elect 17C; nnd tho fifteen slave States with a free population of 6,000,000' less than one half as many, elect 120. nearly three fourths of the whole number. But the popular vote cast at the last Presidential election in tho free and slavo States, will show this disparity in a Btill stronger light. This vote nt the Presidential election in 1856, was in tho freo States, 2,958.058; in tho plave States, 1.090.216. Smith Carolina choeses her electors by tho Lcgisiatu ro, consequently her popular vote is not included in this estimate. Making all duo all wanco for this omission, the popular vote lor Piesident, in 1856, in the free Slates, exceeded that in the slave States nearly three to one. The aggregato voto cast in the following ten States, viz: Maryland. North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas., Delaware and Texas, was less than thato! the single Stale of New York; thn total voteofall the ten States. belng571,-531. whilo that of New York was 597.383; ar.dyet, according to the present system of conducting Presidential elections, those ten States ore entitled to sixty-four electoral voles, and Now York only thirty-five. Threo freo States, New York, Pennsylvania, and Now Jersey, cast 6S 00) more votes than all the fifteen S.avo States; yet tho former have only sixty-nine electoral votes, and tho latter 120. Taking the voto at tho last Presidential election as a basis, in the freo States, 16,812 voters is the ratio to each elector; while in the slave States, the ratio is only 9,095. According to the Presidential vote in 1856 a Presidential candidate may yet be voted Cor by all the slave States, with just enough free State votes to elect him, and yet may not lie a choice of tho majority of tho voters. If a Presidential candidate were to receive every voto in tho slavo States, and all the votes ii Connecticut, Illinois and Indiana, and all the votes in tho thirteen other tree States were cast against him. he would have 149 electoral votes to 147 against him. But the popular vote against him would be more than three quarters of a million, only a quarter of a million less than the whole vote in the slave Slates. These States and the freo States of Connecticut. Illinois, and Indisna, having together one hurdred and forty-nine cleclurial votes, cast in 186, a popular vole of 1 644, 084; wbilo the remaining thirteen Free States having only one hundred and forty seven electoral votes, cast a popular vote of 2,404.-221, making a majority in favor of the latter oC 795,238. Once more, suppose whit some may think not an improbable case, that a President were olectcd by tht slave States, aided by Pennsyl-vaniaand New Jersey, he would then have one hundred and fifty-four electoral votes to one hundred and forty-two against him; but according to tho returns in 1856, his one hundred and fifty-four -electoral votes would only represent a popular vote of 1,650,037, while the one hundred and Corty-two electoral votes against him would represent a popular vote of 2,299,176. or a majori'y of 619,130. nearly two-thirds of the popular Tote in the slave gtatet, Look Before You Hick. A minister recently, while on his way lo preach a funeral sermon iu tho ccuntry, called to see one of his mamb.'rs, anolil widow ladv who lived near tho road ho was traveling. Tho old lady had just bser, miking sausages; and she felt proud of thsm, they woro plump, round and sweet. Of course she insisted upon the minister taking soma of tho links home to his family. Ho objected on account of not having his portmanteau along. This objea-tion was soon ovarrulod and tho old lady after wrapping them in a rag. carefully placed a bundle in each pocket of tho preacher's capacious coat." Thus equipped ho started to tho liincral, While attending to tho solemn ceremonies of the grave, soma hungry dogs scented the sausage, and wore not long in tracing thsin to tho pickets of the good man's overcoat. Of coutsa this was a great annoyance, and he was several times under the necessity of kicking the whelps away. The obsequies at the grave completed, the minister and co: gregation repaired to the church, where the funeral discourse was to be preached. After ihe sermon was finished, tho minister halted to make somo remarks to his congre. gation, when a brother, who wished to have an oppointmcnt given out, ascended the sttps of the pulpit and gavo tho minister's coat a hitch, to get his attention. Tlio divine thinking it a dog having a design upon his pocket, raised his foot, gave a sudden kick, and sent the good brother sprawling down tho steps. "You willexcuso me, brethren and sisters!" said tho minister, confusedly, and without looking at the work he had just done, "for I could not avoid it. I have sausages in my pockets, and that dog has been trying to grab them ever since I came upon tho premises'! Our readers may judge of tho effects such an announcement would have at a funeral. A Epread Eagle Toast. At Prentico Centre Mo., on the 5th, the following wa tho second regular sentiment: Our Nation Begotten am d tho storms of tht sixteenth century, its infantile movements wero dim and indistinctly seen on board tho May Flower, on tho rock of Plym-mouth.at Jamestown.on tho Plains of Monon-galicly, and on the heights of Abraham; the 'capricious squalls'' of its infancy were heard in the loa party at Boston in F.ineuil Hall, on the plains of Crncord, Lexingto", nndB-in-ker-hill; in his boyhood ho run bare footed and bare-headed over the fields of Saratoga, Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and Yorktown and whipping his mother and turning her nut of doors; in his youth hosTrodo over thYpr'aT-" ries of tlio boundless West and called them his own, paid tribufo to Iho despots of Bar-bary in powder and ball, spit in his father's fuce from behind cotton balsa at Now Orleans, whipped the mistress ol tho ocean, reveled in the halls ol Montezuma, straddled the Rocky Mountains, and with ono foot upon golden sand and the other upon codfish and lumber, defied the world; in his manhood, clothed in purple and fine linens, rides over the ocean in palnco steamers, sends his thoughts on wi -gs of lightening to the world around, thunders at the doT of tho Celestial Empire and the portals of distant Japan, slaps his poor old de-crepid falhor in his face, and tells him to lie careful how ho pecks into any of his picaroons, nnd threaten? to make a sheep pasture ofall tho land thnt joins him. Whr t he wil-do in old age God only knows. May he live ten thousand years, and his shadows never be less. A man greatly in debt nn hisdcath-hed.sai'l to his friends: "I only wish to live till I have paid my debts " His friends commended the motive of his prayer, arid ihe suk man in a low tone proceeded: "And if heaven would grant me this favor, I know my life would be very long indeed." KtCKiso Cows I have a way to stop kicking cows, or to keep them from stepping while milking. It is this: I begin quito moderate, nnd when they hoist a foot I give the teats ft jerk. By following this up it will stop any cow, for a cow very m".ch dislikes to havo her teats jerked. If a cow gets in the habit of starting off, I hold on the toats as hurd as I can, which cures her ol that caper. Curb fob tiib ihtr or a Mad boo. A writer in tho National Intelligencer says that spirits of hartshorn is a certain remedy for a bite of a mad dog. The wound should be constantly bathed in il an 1 3 or 4 doses diluted, taken inwardly during the day. The writer tried it in Brazil, lor the bite of a scorpion, and found it to relieve pain and inflaina-tion almost immediately. Kodlk Sestimbxts. Condemn no m,n for not thinking as you think. Lot every one enjoy the lull and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let every man uso his own judgment since every tuac must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach in any kind of degree, to the spirit ol persecution If you cannot reason or persuade a man into tho truth, never attempt to force him into it If love will not compel him, leave hiin to God the J udge of all.
