For the Democrat. To the Memory of Ilenric J. Couglc. Death hs hovered over a household band,: and he, the noblest and best, hath fallen a victim to the dark angel V wing. While yet in the prime of blooming manhood, with longing eyes glancing down the flower-bordered vista of futurity, fondly hoping the realization of bright anticipations, a guardian angel ever keeping ceaseless vigils oer his wandering footsteps, softly whispered, "For theo the dark angel cometh, and folding thee closely in hi icy clasp, will bear thee onward through gloomy darkness. Fear thou not, beyond the. shadowy gloom brightly gleam the effulgent rays of Immortality." Loved friend, farewell ! How rudely hath been sundered the golden links of Faiendship's chain. Dark is the shadow thrown around us. A fountain of bitterness well up ia the heart, and flooding its flowers of happiness, checks for awhile their blooming betuty. We weep for thee, Henrie; ah ! bitter flowed the teardrops, when the sad intelligence of thy death was borne back to thy many Missouri fiijndfä. Though thou wast comparatively a stranger in our midst, thy gentle and amiable disposition shed oer all around a genial ray of happiness, winning for thee, all unconsciously, the hearts of many. Thine im:ige h .ning far up the azure heaven of memory, shall eier rise and glimmer tho bright siar of a joyful Remembrance Eliza S. . . . Boone Coitnfy, Mo., May 1 3th, 1859. A Perilous flour. I was apprenticed to a decorative paint' er, but being of a bold, dat-ger-loving turn, I ran away to saa before my time was out. Afier some years of knocking about I gt tired of a maritime life, and having married and determined to stfck to the shore, I got work with a builder whose peculiar line lay in erecting tall chimneys. I had al ways a very cool head, and could stand on elevations that would make most men dizzy, and so I was soon a favorite hand with my master. We had an occasion to fasten a lightning-conductor which had sprung near tho top of a very hih chimney, and Mr. Staming chosa myself and one James Colly to do it, as the most daring of his men. About half a dozen of us went that morning with a hand . cart, containing tho necessary ropes, blocks, the kite, and a box ur cradle. Having flnrn the kite, and dropped its line aercss the top of the chimney, we soon drew up a

rope, at tho end ol which was a. block, through which ran the lino by which wo were to bo drawn up. Colly ha J only been married a fortnight; and as we stepped into the cradle, tl e men banteringly asked him if he hadn't a last dying speech to leave for hi 3 wife; and then Mr. Naming having shaken hands with us and bid us be cool and 8tead , we were drawn slowly up. It was known all over the town that the conductor was to be fixed, though as the day was not named. I did not expect we should have many spectators; but as we got higher, and the view opened under our feet, I saw tint the streets were already thronged with starers. Colly was very quiet; and when I waived my hat to the people, he said snappishly that this .vas no time for such folly, and bethought I might bo thinking of better things than how to amuse these gaping tools, who, he dared say, desirod no better fun than to see us meet with an accident. m I had come up in the best heart, thinking, indeed, nothing of the danger we in. curred; but as we drew nearer and nearer to tho tep, and had nothing, as it seemed, belonging to this world near to us but this straining tope, I began to see the peril of the undertaking. What Colly thought of it, I don't know he sat at the bottom of the cradle, ever looking out, though I told him ho would do better to keep his eyes about him, 90 that he might grow used to the height. Good Heaven! what was this? Here we were within a yard of the top projecting coping, and mill they were winding way not wlacking speed in the least! 1 guessed in a moment that they mistook our height, and that with the great purchase of that windlas tho rope would be broken when it came to the block. I sprang up, and catching the rope, climbed hand over hand to the coping. Colly, too, sprang up and followed me. He. too, got up safe; and still they went oh winding up, winding up, till tlu rope sung again with tho strain there was upon it. Then it snapped, and cr?dle, haulingHne, and the main rope with its block, fell down. Thus were we two poor men left in a most desperate situation. Poor Colly was completely dazed with affright; and the moment he got upon the coping, which was only a foot and a half broad, lie called out: 'Where can I pray? Where can I kneel and pray?' and so I said very solemnly: 'Sit down, Jem; God will hear us if we pray to him sit'.ing down.' The color of his face was of a transparent blue; and distarted and twitching, as if he was in a fit. His eyes were very wild, and drawn into a squint, and he could n't sit steady, but s craved his body backward and forward, so that I felt certain he must topp'e ever. 'Come, Jem, my lad,' I said, thinking to take tho fright off lum, 'it's bad enough but it can ba mended. Hitch up a bit and put your arm around the rod, may be it will steaJy you.' " " 'Where are you? and where is thi rod?' he asked ina very holloNr voice, though he was looking straight at me, and the rod was only a foot or two to his left. By'

this I knew he was gone blind with the fright; and self-presirvation said: Don't go near him; but then i remembered his

new-wedded wife, and that taking him all through, he was. always a very decent 8örl of fellow, and 1 thought how I should have liked him to have him done if I had been in his case, 60 1 determined to run a bit of a risk in hi9 favor. Of course I durst not get on my feet; but working myself on by my hands, I got to him, and putting my arm around his waist, and telling him as cheerily as 1 could to keep cool, I got him with his arm round the the round. It had, however, sprung the stapling for five yards f own, and was so loose that ii swayed with him, and I expected any ramuh 0 see him falling head and heels down,F,ud the rod tearing away with him. There was a graat bustle down below: people were rushing round the yard and pushing to get in, but as yet there were but some score of men at the foot of the chimney, and, by close looking, I saw them put somebody on a board, and carry him gently to the engine-houst. One of the men walkad after with a hat in his hand; then I knew that somebody had been hurt with the tailing cradle, and that it must be poor Mr. Staming, as none of our men wore hats. 1-lcarncd af'erward that our men were so taken up with sorrow that so good a mau and so kind a master should be killed, that for a while they had never a thought about us; and the people outside imained that we had come down with the cradle, so thu3 were we left in total isolation for fall twenty minutes. While I was watching them below, feeling very sorry for ray poor master, I was startled by a wild laili fiom Colly, who began making cat calls, and yelling as if he was possessed. Thon I knew, of course that he was gone mad. Even now I trembla wl.en I think of that tim-j; it wa3 horrible to peer down the shaft, black and sooty and j awning, and scarcely less so to look outside and see a flight of pigeons sweeping round at considerably less hei ghth than wo were. Then Collv thank God ! he was so dazed that he could not see me called my name three times, and I sat fairly cringing in dread that his sight might clear, and with a ghastly grin, and chewing with his mouth he begnn working himself toward me. I worked away from him as noiselessly as I could, with every hair of my head standing on end. He followed me twice around that horrid coping, making most hideous noises, and then being come a second time to the rod, he got an idea in his muddled head that I was fallen orer, for he never lost a sense of where he was all through this trying time. Then he tried to get on his fe3t; but at the risk of my own life, I could not let the poor fellow rush on certain death without one more effort; and I cried out for him to sit down, and he cowered down like a whipped dog, all trembling. I suppose it had been put into his head that I was a dead man speaking to him. That morning my wife had got a letter from her sis'er in Canada, and as there wen parts we could not make out, I had put it in my pocket, intending to get our time-keeper to read it for me. It had a scrap of uncovered paper at the bottom; by another good providence, I happened to have a bit of red lead pencil in my pochet. 1 wrote on the paper, 'Get U3 down Colly 's gono mad; this I shut in my tobacco-box, and was fortunate enough to drop just at tho fret of a couple of men who were standing by the engine-house door. Directly all was bustle to rescue us They got the kite up again, and and I watched it mounting slowly, slowly; and when the slack twine fell between Colly and myself, I took it in my hand and could have kissed it. Poor Colly, with his teeth chattering, still fane ed I was a spirit, and I did all I could to favor that idea until they got another cradla up to us. Then having got him in, I scrambled in myself, and clutching him fast, I shouted for them to lower; and so we were got down, he wrestling and fighting with me all the way. He was in a mad-house for some months and then went to seavengering, for he never could face any heighth again; and I never have had the same dear head since that rdventure. Ohio Democratic State Ticket. The Democratic State Convention at Columbus, yesterday, nominated the following ticket: For Governor Rufus P. Kanney, of Trumbull county. For Lieut, Governor W. H. Safford, of Ross county. For Auditor of State Wm. Bushnell, of Ashland county. For Treasurer Jacob Reinhardt, of Franklin county. For Judge of Supreme Court H. A. Whitman, of Fairfield county. For Board of Publio Works Jas. Tomlinson, of Washington county. For School Commissioaer ChasS Allen, of Harrison county. This 13 a strong ticket, and contains the elements of ability and popularity. , Judge Ranney is one of the first men in tho Stale, and when on the Supreme bench gave a dignity and character to it that none of his successors have since preserved. He was nominated by acclamation, and should be unanimously elected. Tho other candidates all possess popular elements of character, and as there is a lengthy campaign before them, time will developo them to the people. Everything seems to have passed off smoothly and harmoniously. All the signs presage th? downfall of Republican mis rule. Cm. Enq. 27. .

How he avoided being Ktl't.

An amusing story of Dames Barrington Recorder of Bristol, is related by one of the British press. . Having to appear for a plaintiff in a case at Clonmell, he 'let into the defendant i i no measured terms. The individeual inveighed against not being present, only heard of the infectives, ifter Barrington, howover, had got back to Dublin the defendant, aTipperary man named Foly, lost ao time in paying his compliments to the counsel. He rode all day and all night, and covered with sleet, arrived before Barrington's residence, in Harcourt street, Dublin. Throwing the bridle of his smoking horse overthe railingof the area, he announced his arrival by a "thundering knock at the door. Banington's valet answered the summon?, and opening the street door beheld the apparition of he rough-coated, Tipperary tire-eater, with a large stick un der hia arm, and the sleet sticking to his bushy whiskers. Is your master up!' demanded the visitor in a voice that gave some, intimation of the object of his jonrney. 'No,' answered the man. 'Then give him my compliments, and say Mr. Foley he'll know the name will be glad to 6eo him. The valet went up stairs anil told his master, who was in bed, the purport of his visit. Then don't let Mr. Foley in for your life,' Barring.on, 'for it's not a hare nor a brat-e of ducks, he has come to present me with.' The man was leaving the bed-room when a rough wet coit pushed by him. while a thick voice said, by your leave, and at the same moment Mr. Folev entered the bedroom. 'You know mv business, sir, said he to Barrington; 'I have made a journey to teacl you manners, and its not my purpose to re turn until I have broken every bone in your body, and at the name tim he cut a figure eight with his shillalah before the cheval glass. You do not mean to sty that you would murder me in bed,' exclaimed Daines, who had as much honor as cool courage. No,' replied the other, 'but get up as soon as you can. Yes,' leplied Daines, 'that you miht fell me the moment I put myself out of the blankets No,' replied the other, I pledge you mv word not to touch you till you are out of'bed.' You won't.' No.' Upon your honor?' Upon mv honor.' That is enough, said Daines, turning over and making himself comfortable, and seeming a3 though he meant to fall asleep, 'I have the honor of an Irish gentleman, .and may rest as safe as if I were under the casil guard ' Tho Tipperary salamander looked marvelotisly astonished at the preended steeper, but soon Daines began to snore 'Haloa! says Mr. FoI-y, arent you going to get 'No,' said Dains, 'I have the word of an Irish renileman that he will not strike me in bed, and I am sure I am not iroini; to iret up to have my bones broken. I will never get up again. In the mean time Mr. Foley, if you should want your breakfast, ring the bell; the best in the house is at your service. The morning paper will be here presently, but be s.ire and air it before reading, fir there is nothing from which a man so quick ly catches ''old as reading a damp journal,' and Daines affected to go to sleep. The Tipperary had fun in him as will as ferocity; could not resist the cunning of the counsel, 'Get up Mr. Barrington, for in bed, I have not the pluck to hunt so droll a heart. Tho result was that less than an hour afterwards, Daines and his intended murderer wre silling down to a warm breakfast. The latter only intent on assaulting a dish of smoking chops. Judge Pcttit. A correspondent of the New York Post (Republican) wiitingfrom Muskotah. Iv. T., under date of April 15. says: Our new Jude, Jude Pettit, of Indiana. commenced his judicial labors by holding a term of the Uistrct Court, during the past week, tor Atchiton county. The official course of his honorrives eminent satisfaction to all parlies. His charge to the Grand Jury was lumitious and effective; his rulings were marked by the most rigorous impartiality, and his manner while on the bendi, (which consisted of an inverted dry goods box. with an arm chair thereon,) was the perfection of dignified suavity. The time of the court was most ly consumed by the trial of a fellow from Leave iworth, for murder. The offense wa. committed last Christmas week in one of those abominable stews which shelter a large proportion of the inhabitants of our metropolis, and the prejudice against the prisoner in his own county wa3 so violent that the venue was changed in order to obtain an impartial jury. The council on both sides were miserably inefficient and frequently irritated the court to a display of that petulant egotism which is one of its weakest points. The prisoner was acquitted without deliberation. Judge Pettit'a appearance is singularly judicial. His height is medium, but his proportions ara immense; so large, 111 fact, that ho obliged to pull off his chair whenever he rises from his scat. His smoothly shaven countenance wears a smile of gracious defferencc. A well defined river of baldness flows from his crown, between two accurate shores of hair, and discharge it self into the broad bay of his face. Gold spectacles, raiment of . the glossiest and most elegant black, and linen of the exactetst outline, , complete a tout ensemble well ca'culated to excite aw in the ignorant and admiration in the intelligent. Why is a kiss like 6candal? Because it passes from mouth to mouth.

I3ad Sisrris.

While traveling from place to place in the last few montlis, we li3e marked on our note book quite a number of "siy-ns" and 'notices' of peculiar orthography, or peculiar something else. Here is the one that hangs over the door of a country hotel in Ashtabula county: 'Boarding an Logging Such a sign would bo more appropriate for a saw mill! At a prominent station on the Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad, the following stopprig piace is neraiiiea: 'Meals, at. all. hours' 1 In a village store, in the region of pines, we found this spirited notico sticking on the door: 'Pure tar and Sperts. of Turpin for. sail here.' Written in bold characters above the door of a carpenter's shop, in another burg we read: 'No cutting Up Aloud hear.' We put on our 'long face' there. Some poor fellow's goods were advertised for sale in ono of the inland townships thus: Konsabels tail.' We considered that the extremity of the law ! While the iron hotse was taking a drink, or in other words was At water, somewhere in North eastern Ohio, we observed the POST It was wii some difficulty that we passed the 6aloon with this inviting notice: Piesan Kakes an Outers Frida Wuiis' We uaw the following somewhere: 'Missouri. House.' And at another place: 'grssarice and pro Duse store.' Once more and we shall quit: 'Skule master wonted Enquire at Dees'k Nu. 5 of the present town ship.' We had a mind to stop and 'take up skule' there ! 3T Lnporte is the banner county of the State the 'Garding of Hoosierdom.' It consists of several beautiful lakes, six or seven or fourteen newspapers, eight military companies, and &c. It is a splendid county; and the Laporte editors, probably knowing it tobe a splendid county, have appointed a day and are going to hold a State Editorial Convention of iheirown in Plymouth. Plymouth is in Indiana up noith, and is a large city of fifteen hundred inhabitants, besiJes the Postmaster and is, on the whole, a capital place being the capital of Marshall county to hold a convention. You can get there by going around the railroad. Martinsville Bulletin. Bro. Story talks as if tho people in his part of the State didn't know what kind ofa place Lapor:e is. Well, we always supposed they din't. Wh.u a deplorable state of ignorance they must be in, to be sure. Laporte, sir, comprises almost the whole of Northern Indiana, sir. Plymouth claims the residue. If the editor of the Bulletin will just make his appeara-ices in Plymouth. abut tlie time of our Convention, we'll let him taste of the "goodies" and show him the Postoffice. Laporte Times. A Lover Digs His Own Grave. A short time since a young couple belonging to Russell. Geauga county, concluded to 'jine fortunes' and get married. The hopeful swain had not quite reached his twentieth summer, and the blushinc bride was not one year shor of 'sweet sixteen. The respective 'daddys and 'mammya' had given their consent, and all things seemed prosperous, But "The course of true love never did mn.imooth.' On reaching Ciiardon, where the knot was to have been tied, a license was refused them, because the stony-hearted justice at Russell had given formal notice that the swain was unable to support the expense of the new calico. Home dejected and desparing, returned the swain. Life to him, would ne'er look bright again. When daik night closed o'er the sky, to the grave yard did he hie. There a grave both wide and dep he dug to contain his poor carets when, broken hearted and throughly disgusted with this wicked world, he should lay him down and take his long, long sleep. ' Whilst in the midst of his labors some one disturbed him, and unhappy grava digger rushed off frantically and hid himself in Painesville for three whole days. U.timately the flinty-hearted justice relented, the legal consent was given and the twain were made one flesh. The 'boys' in Rüssels have completed what the desparing 'lovyer' began.
