Dark Hours.

There are hours, dark hours, that mark the
history Of, the brightest year. For not whole
month in any one of the millions of the past,
perhaps, has the sun shone brilliantly ali the

days in every year. And yet the mists and

and fitted heedlessly away. The cruelest
of the ice fetlers have been broken and dis
solved, and the most furious storm loses its

what matters it? Man is born hero and it
is only by darkness and storms that heroism

into blaze of glory, and the storm bears it
more rapidly to its destiny. Despair not, then.

"a LAWYER Ticket,

The Experiment recently published fam

Well, the Locofoco State Convention has

the ticket which it has nominated, eleuem or
t,0elUe of the fourteen candidates on it are
LAWYERS! and one OF the remaining can

ever, endeaVored TO compromise the matter
by selecting men for these important places,
who, although they write themselves Esquire
and have the certificate of the county clerk in
their pockets, would hardly be suspected of
being Lawyers, and if fairly tried, would be
acquitted of the charge in any court of COM
petent jurisdiction. Think of that STRIPPING
demagogue from Cincinnati, Pug6. as a can
didate for Attorney General! There are
dozen counties in the State, in the bar of
which either or all of the five candidates for
Supreme Judges would rank as second or
third rate lawyers. We are not willing, how
ever, that the Experiment should take the
benefit of this compromise Nearly all its
State candidates are called lawyers, and we
must therefore insist that it shall print its own
words under them at the head of its columns,
thus: ,E5 ~ r..a--
