sufficient proof of her innocence; and besides,

let himself down over the rock. He alighted
among the bushes, took his mistress in his

he helped to chafe her hands. and bathe her
forehead with perfumed waters!

SENSIBLE REMARKS.

The Bucyrus Forum of the 18th instant,
has some sensible remarks on the duty of the
members of the Democratic party, The ex-
citement inseparable from the selection of our
delegates to Charleston has well nigh disap-
peared and very soon no vestige of it will re-
main. Let US all prepare for the contest which
is rapidly coming upon US, and be ready to
meet our opponents and overthrow them. We
endorse every word in the extract fiom the
Forum, which is as follwes:
1t is useless TO disguise the fact that we ara
on the eve of an important struggle, struggle
which will require every Democrat to do his
duty to his country, and his God. To succeed
in the next Presidential canvass will require
union, harmony and perseyering efforts on the
part of all unhinching Democrats. "These are
the times that try mems souls" esThess are
the times to sacrifice personal animositiss upon
the altar of our country" Nothing but this
eoncihatory spirit will save the Democracy from
defeat. l.ti srss sH 81 81

THE CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN.

He is above mean thing. He cannot stoop
to fraud. He invades no secrets in the keep
ing of another. He betrays no secret con-
ided to his own keeping. He never struts in
borrowed plualage He takes selfish advan-
tase of no mans mistakes. He uses no igno-
BILE weapons of controversy. He never stabs
in the dark. He is ashamed of inuendoes -
He is not one thing to a mans face, and anoth-
er behind his back. If by accident he comes
into possession Of his neighbor's counsels, he
passes upon them an act of instant oblivion.
He bears sealed packages without tampering
with the wax. Papers not meant for his eyes,
whether they futer at his window or lie open
be fore him in unguarded exposure, are sacred
to him. He profanes no privacy of others,
h. wever the sentry sleeps Bolts and bars, locks
and keys, hedges and piekets, bonds and secu-
rites, notices to trespassers, are none of them
for him. H may be trusted, by himself, out
of sight--near the thinnest partition anywhere.
He buys no Office, he sells none, he intrigues
for none. He would rather fail of his rights
than win them through dishonor. He will eat
honest bread. He tramples on no sensitive
feelings He insults no man. If he have re-
buke for another, he is straightforward, open
and manly. H can not descend to scurrility.
Billngsgate doesn't lie in his track. From all
profane and wanton dialect his lips are chasten-
ed OF Woman, and to her, he speaks with
decency and respect. In short, whatever he
judges honorable he practices toward every
man. Clayton.

CoNJUGAL AFFEcTIoN.-Of all the gratif-
cations human nature can enjoy, and of oil the
delight it is formed to impart, none is equal to
that which springs from a long-tried and mu-
tual affection. The happiness VIII ch arises
from conjugal felicity is capable of withstand
ing the attacks of time, grows vigorous II age,
and animates the heart with pleasure and de-
light, when the vital fluid can scarcely force Il
passage through it.
No man ever prospered in the world without
the consent and cooperation of his wife, let
him be ever so frugal industrious or successful;
and it avails nothing if she is unfaithful to
this trust, or profusely squanders IN pleasure
or dissipation those sums which toll and appli-
ca.ion gained But if she unites in mutual
endeavors, or rewards his labor with an endear-
ing smile, with what confidence will he resort
to his merchandise or his farm-hy over lands
sail upon the sea-meet difficulty and encoun-
ter dangers-if he knows that it Is not spend
ing his strength in vain, but that his labor will
be rewarded by the sweets of home How
delightful it is to have friend to cheer, and
companion to soothe the solitary hours OF
grief and pain Solitude and disappointment
enter into the history of any mans life, and
he is but half provided tor his voyage who
finds but an associate for happy hours, while,
for months of darkness, no sympathising part
ner is prepared.
Prudence and foresight can neither ward off
the stroke Of disease nor prevent the caam-
ties which are ordained by heaven. Afluen ce
cannot pur hase release from pain, nor wealth
cool a fever in the blood. The best endow-
ment is, heart ready to sympathise, and life
that is absolutely bound up in his. As enjoy
ment derives additional relish from anticipation,
SO misery loses the poignancy of its barb in
the bosom formed for sympathetic kindness.

A WAR ON The PRINTERS.

The disposition which is so manifest in the
Ohio Legislature to retrench III relation to the
printing of the laws and otherwise to display
hostility to the newspaper press, seems to have
taken hold of the assembled wisdom of Wis
cousin, also, which, aS its first demonstration
made descent on the printers in the shape OF
law to reduce their fees for legal advertise
ments. The movement in the Ohio Legisla-
ture to abolish the printing of the laws of the
State, of general nature, in the various coun-
ties, is in our opinion silly and uns:atesman
like effort. If the people arc expected to obey
the laws they ought to be put i'll position to
know what they are, and this can be done in
no way so cheaply, easily and certainly as to
publish them. There may be abuses at this
time existing in relation to their publication
and these should be corrected, and provision
made for a more prompt publication of the
general laws; but it is an act of sheer folly to
abolish the publication entirely. As to the
retrenchins fit in the Wisconsin Legislature,
it too, is absurd. IF the General Assembly in
that State, as well as Ohio and all other States,
was to repeal all laws fixing the rates for legal
Advertising that would be sensible step. A
printers fee bill for legal advertising, when
fixed by law, may be too high or too low, be-
sides it is no more appropriate for Legislative
action than it would be to fix the price of oats.
corn, broad cloth, shoes and boot or anything
else. 1t should be left as the printing of any
individual is left, subject to the same pro ratio
rates, without any legal restraint. The sooner
this principle is introduced the better for all
parties As to the abolition of the printin
of the laws in the newspapers, the majority in
this legislature may think it appropriate to ex
cIude the statutes Of their creation from the
gaze of the people, and they may be right in
one sense about that, but still the people must
conform to and ought to know what they are

Our Schools.

MEssRs EDIToRs.-The public mind
in this city has been for the past
week or two considerably excited on the
subject of our schools. This is all YER
ry natural, because our schools have
been the chief pride of the city, and all
good citizens of course have much soil
citude on the subject. Allow me to ask
youto repub1Sh in the Telegraph, short
extract from the report of the Board of
Education, which appeared in your pa
per on the Goth of March 1860; it is as
follows -
EASIER TO LOWER DOWN THAN TO
RAILS UP.E 1t is much easier to pull down
than to build up. 1t requires educated
mind to construct an edifce Of beauti.
full and symmetrical proportions but
no particular skill or intelligence is de.
manded to mar it, or raze it to the
ground. Works of art and monuments
OF genius, may be defaced by hands that
could never restore them. A PAINTING
may be condemned, because too muc6
expense and labor has been bestowed
upon it; if so it needs no artistic hand
to obliterate its finer delineations and
cheaper its value.
Our scoools are in the hands of the
people; if the majority so will it, they
can easily be lowered down so as tc
lose the respect of intelligent men but
the influence that lowers them down
VIII never be likely to raise them up
again. The enlightened sentiment o
the age-the sentiment that with assid
uous care looks after the highest inter
est OF the people, is never found seeking
to lower the standard of our common
schools, or other institutions oflearnino

FIRE.-A fire was discovered in the
house of Mr.. VIM. Golf, halt mile
South of this city about o'clock last
evening, When it was discovered, the
flames had made considerable progress,
but by the exertion of the neighbors,
the fire was extinguished before much
damage had been done. The fire is
unquestionably the work of an incendia-
ry, as the house was untenanted, and
hay was found sattered from the barn
to the house. The building was insur-
