IIow beautiful is woman
In her right and proper sphere,
Fulfilling her high mission,
With heart and brow sincere
With strong and steady purpose
To guard the right from wrong,
And fill the whole creation
With the glory of her song.
'Tis hot mid fields of carnage,
Nor where wild factions rise,
Mid the clang of politicians,
That a woman's glory lies
Nor in the learned professions,
AU tending day by day,
To sear the finer feelings,
That a gentle woman m|g£
Complete her sacred duty**'
But by the mourner's side,
To whisper consolation—
And when men's souls are tried,
To comfort and encourage
With words of holy cheer,
And send them forth to conquer,
With minds more firm and clear.
'Us hers to train the youthful
In virtue's holy way
To call the erring mortal back,
Who.se feet have gone astray
To smooth the furrowed brow
And watch till stars grow dim,
Beside the fevered couch of pain—
Willi low and earnest hymn
To make the shades of sorrow seem,
By christian meekness bright,
A blessing in diguise,
To lead unto celestial light.
'lis hers to teach her sons to grace
Oar legislative halls,
And in their wisdom ready stand
To meet their country's calls:
And thus she guides the helm of State,
And thus she wields the power,
To make a prosperous, happy laud,
Which is her rightful dower.
Then what can woman wish for
Ift
ihe practice of medicine ami Surgery, and are
prepared to attend all calls in the line of thelf
profession. Punctual attendance and reasona

Terrible lucideut9 of War.
liis stated by Mr. Nolan in his *4IIh
Ury of Cavalry," that an officer of the
14th dragoons received a sword wound
al :lie buttle of Ramnugger, in India,
fur^ier illustration of the
skill of the Sikhs in ihe use of this
weapon, Oapt. Nolan says: "A huge
dragoon was found quite dead. His
head had dropped forward from a cut on
the back of the neck, which had severed
the spine, and al this very action, it is
said that whilst our poor fellows labored
in vain to draw blood, a touch from the
Sikh's sword across the arm or leg left
the bold Englishmen at their mercy, and
they soon hacked them to pieces. One
officer, who was in the campaign, said
he saw an English dragoon putting his
bands to the reins to try and turu his
horse, when a native horseman, dropping
his 6word across them, took off both
hands above tho wrist. A Sikh, alter
the retreat of our cavalry at Chillianwal
lo galloped up to the horse artillery, cut
down and killed the two men on the lead
ing horses of ihe gun, one after the other,
and approachod the third, a cool fellow,
who, after seeing how badly his com
rades had come off with their swords,
instead of drawing his, stuck to his whip,
with which he Hogged off his assailant's
horse, and thus saved himse!f! A squad
ron of 3d dragoons charged a goel of
Sikh horsemen undei Maj. Unset, and
he himself told me that they opened out.
giving just sufficient room for the suqad
ron lo enter. The dragoon rank going
at the charge, gave point to the Sikh next
to him. The sword struck in the lower
part of his body, but did not penetrate
sufficiently to disable him so the Sikh
cut oack, hit the dragoon across ihe
mouth, aud took his bead clean off." .,.

Tergiversation.
Bid you ever go a fishing? Did
never feel pity for the poor worm whe
you saw it writhe in agony in vain eiv
deavora to escape from the sharp hoolt
that was entering itb vitals and depriving
ii of life? VVe have, and we feel pitjr
now for those poor worms. Dodge, JonqR
and Ilenn, who have been impaled b||
Mr. Grimes, and left to extricate thent*
selves from their predicament as be«|
they can. In his first address "to thip
people of Iowa," Mr. Grimes referred
to speech of Senator Butler, in whicf§
he averred that Iowa would be in bettek
condition with negro slaves than witfe
her foreign population. Messrs. Dodgp
and Jones immediately took the matter
up and addressed a note to Mr. Butld|
on the subject, and then triumphantly ptp
raded his answer, in which he denies
and attempts to prove this by referring
to a speech in which he didn't siy it,
and from which he did say it, and froifr
which Mr. Grimes, in reply, quotes thin
exact words used by Mr. Butler, ami
fully substantiated the charge, as fire*
made.
No wonder if our Senators were anx
ious to disprove the inference that thep
sat quietly and heard such a re marl#
without reply or rebuke.
Mr. Grimes also stated that a distill*
guished Representative of Georgia haA
said that Iowa would be ft sieve
in fifteen years.
Messrs. Dodge and Jones wrote to th^
Georgia Senators, who had never beelt
accused, and received a denial, of courafi_
This they paraded with great gusto as
refutation of Mr. Grimes' charge.
Sincc then, Mr. Henn has addressed
notes to all of Georgia's eight represetP
tativrs.
All the replies state directly that
writers never used such an expression
except the one signed by Stephen^
Retae and Chastnin. and which is i||
Mr. Stephens' handwriting. This sayii
"No such idea certainly was ever a£'
vanced, or any one from which such aa,
inference could be drawn, any speeejr
made by either of us."
.3
This is denying that of which M|t
Stephens was never accused, and studio'
ously avoiding a dtnial of that of whicft
he was accused. Mr. Grimes nev«w^
said the remark occurred "in a speech
but pointedly and plainly stated that
was uttered in private conversation, iar
the presence and hearing of Judge Me
son, of Burlington, commissioner o£
patents. Judge Mason is a Democrat,'
holding office under the Administration,
and naturally sympathising with his fel&'
low Demociats, the Iowa Senators sml
Representatives. He has been brougift
forward publicly by Mr. Grimes, as (ft
witness. No denial has come from hinflj^
and the dental from Mr. Stephens is e?
sive—denying that he made the remar
in a speech," which he was not accusedl
of doing, but not denying having give
utterance to the remark in private cor
versation, which was the charge made.
Mr. Stephens' denial is therefore a taei
confession, and goes to stiengthen Mis
Grimes' original charge.
