 At Dardancllc, Ark, on the 2Sth of March, 1860, at his fathers residence, WALTER D. HoLLowELL, infant son of Mrs. E. F. and Col. J l.. Hollowell-aged one year and four months.
 This beautious and lovely child had just begun to lisp with distinctness the endearing names ot father and mother-had just begun with his gleetul prattte to draw forth from mothers prayertul heart the blessings of loving Saviour-had just begun to he a fathers pride and mothers joy, when the ruthless hand of death tore him away from their throhbing hosonls yet, not untll even m hls eX- bring agony, he clasped them with his little arms, and angel ike, impartcd on their cheeks sweet kiss as q farewell token of his affection. Bloom ing in beauty he sank to sleep his last sleep in the cold arms oi common mother. But his httte spirit all radient with the love of God has winged it's flight to a brighter serenity in Heaven, to a home of eternal rest. '' For of such is the king dom of God" And now to you, father and mother, we can offer but consoling thought. It is the ever enduring hope of meeting the loved and lost at the golden gates of Heaven, and of dwell ing together in the garden of God, where parting Is no more Then weep not, although,
 C To part with those we love is kcenest pain,
 But here those days of grief will soon be OCT; And oh! what joy to meet that child again,
 Where none may weep, and parting is no more!"

Logic.-A writer in the Westminster Review once took position that alcohol is food, and offered the following logic in proof of it:
 Food is force,
 Alcohol is force,
 Therefore, alcohol is food. pr. Musseco gives q formula equally legitimate and conclusive, namely:
 Horse food is force,
 Whipping horse is force,
 Therefore, whipping horse is horse
 feed. To the capital logic, our John adds:
 My ma is a woman,
 Queen Victoria is woman,
 Therefore, Queen Victoria s my ma. Our Jecms thus expresses his senti- ments-rather harshly, though neverthe- less truthfully:
 The fools are not all dead,
 The writer ofthe above is not dead. Therefore, said writer is fool

Death of W. II. England. ESQ

It becomes our mournful duty, this week. to announce the death of WILLIAM H. ENGLAND, clerk of the circuit court of Prairie county, who died at lis residence in this place on Thursday morning, the l2th inst, after short and severe attack of pneumonia
 This intelligence will carry gloom and sorrow to a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances. Mir England was an esti- mable man, and worthy, useful citizen his loss will be sensibIy felt, for there were few such men. lIo was sick but short time, and his friends had no serious appre- tensions of his death, until few hours before he died, so sudden was the change for the worse in his disease. Truly, in the midst of life we arc in death"
 By the death of blr. England, the clerk 8 office becomes vacated, which, no doubt, twill be filled by appointment from tho Governor. It will, perhaps, be long time before any other incumbent of the office can fill, in every particular, the place of the deceased. Uniformly polite, cour- icons, and gentlemanly in his bearing and intercourse with whoever might be thrown in his company, he won the good will and esteem of all.
 Mir. England was .>nativo of Georgia, from whence he removed to Mississippi, where he remained few years, and then removed to this county, where he has been residing ever since. This is his third term ns clerk of the circuit court of this county, and not murmur was everuttercd against him as such. lie was in his 4Tth year, and leaves wife and five children to mourn his loss.-BrownswUe Democrqt, AprU 14M.

 EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT: Being at leisure, we thought we would transmit to you a few words respecting things in general.
 The weather is very dry. We have not had rain of any consequence in a long time. The farmers are getting along finely as to planting and preparing for another crop. It is thought by many, that this will be d good year for cropping, since there has not been rain to retard the action of far mers, etc. Tomorrow, the alternate lots Ut the terminus of the NJ. 0. and R. R. are to be sold. It is presumed the company will realize much by the sale of these lots.
 Tho nomination of R. II. Johnson for Governor meets with general appreciation. With such man at the head of gubcrna- torial affairs, Arkansas will continue to improve as she has for several years past We were truly glad to hear of his nomha- tion. Our county was in favor of Judge Gould of Bradley county, than whom there are few better men. At present there is not much political excitement. For the different offices in our county many candi dates are out For seat in the lower house of the General Assembly, Gen. c. F. Hemmingway and Col. J. w, Barrow, have announced themselves candidates. They are both democrats. 1t Is said Messrs. w. M Harrison and F.. Sandusky, of the opposition we believe, have declared their intention of becoming candidates for the same position. They are clever men, and those of them who are elected will, we opine, perform all the duties incumbent upon them with dignity and honor. For the senate, Messrs. Belser and Tibbs are can didates. They are both genteel, honorable men. It seems there was not proper con

How TO BE ELECTED. ."-Undef this caption the Washington Star uses the fol- lowing language: The late apparent election of ex-Lieut. Governor Ford, of Ohio, to be the House Printer, was donht-
 less the result of a regular bargain by and through which the profits Gin this case spoiIs) of the office were to be divided out as follows, viz: The expenses of MT. Defrecs, Of Indiana, in his recent chase after the office to be first paid out of them and then the balance to be divided out-20 per cent. to Mr. Hanscomb, of Maine or Massachusetts, a correspondent of the New ! ork Herald at present; 20 per cent. to Mr. Pansbom, an editor of Boston republican party paper, who has been writing letters from this city during the session; 20 per cent. to Glr. Moran, of Philadelphia, a nominal American party newspaper rman, representing the "Peoplc's party" interest in the transaction; 20 per cent. to De divided between Mrs. Bailey of the national Era, and Mr. ex-candi- date Mitchell, of the St. Louis Daily News; and 20 per cent. to be reserved by AIr.

with heavy head bent on her yielding hand,
And haIknushed cheek, bathed In q silver hght-s
With restless lips and most unqEiet eyes.
A maiden sits and looks out on the night,
The darkness presses close agkinat the pane,
And silence feth on the slm-tres old.
Through whose white branches steals the bite eea moo
In ftfal glesms 80 though 'twere ever bold
She hears the wind upon the pavement fAn,
And lifts her head, a. II 10 listen there
Then wearily she taps against the pane
Or folds more close the rIpples Of her hsir

And through its music all her thoughts are seen
For all the burden ofths song abe sings

To seek the pathways where II once was seen,
And strive TO still the thr0bbng Of our hearts
With this wild cry 10 God II might have beeni -

In the far Past, whence love does not return,
And strive to and among its ashes gray
Some lingering spark that yet may i've and burn;
And when see the vanness Of our task,

And folding close our garments Ger our hearts,
Cry to the winds, 10 God 1t might have been !"
