To the Editor of the St. CrOix Avis
Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,
In u small community like that of this
Island when one of its distinguished and
worthy members is in the course of
nature taken from among us, it is right
that a fitting tribute be paid to the mem
DRY of the departed.
The writer of these lines does not pos
sess that knowledge required to form q
biographical sketch of Major Logan,
which therefore he leaves to his more
intimate friends, but for more than TWEEN
ty years that he has bee in contact with
him as a public Officer, he has had many
opportunities of noticing those qualities
which made him not only o highly meri-
~torious public Officer while at the same
time he possessed and enjoyed the friend
ship and confidence of all who knew him.
In deep acknowledgment for his long and
spontaneous services, the writer CRATE
fully offers that humble tribute, TO the
memory of a generous gentleman and
public Officer, whose loss will long be
felt by his numerous friends, ian enemy
impossible), who knew how to appreci-
ate those virtues and talents which he so
%eminently possessed, and whose emotion
at his obsequies were strongly manifest

Caught i'm His own Trap.

A girl, young and pretty and above all,
gifted with an air of admirable candor,
lately presented herself before Partisan
lawyer.
"Monsieur, I have come to consult you
upon grave affair. I want you to
oblige man love to marry me in spite
of himself. How shall I proceed?"
The gentleman of the bar had, of course,
a sufficiently elastic conscience. He re-
fected a moment, and then, being sure
that no third person overheard him, re-
piled unhesitatingly:
"Madameoiselle, according to our law,
you always possess the means of forcing
a man to marry you. You must remain
on three occasions alone with him; you
can then 60 before Judge and swear
that he is your lover"
"And will that suffice, Monsieur"
ayes, Madamoiselle, with one further
condition"
"Well2"
"Then you will produce witnesses who
win make oath to having seen you re-
main a good quarter of an hour with the
individual said to have trifed with your
affections"
every we'll, Monsieur,I i will retain you
as counsel In the management of this af-
fair. Good day."
A few days afteruard the young lady
returned. She is mysteriously received
by the lawyer, who, scarcely giving her
time to seat herself, questions her with
the most lively curiosity.
swell, Madamoiselle, how do matters
prosper?".
"Capital, capital"
"Persevere in your design, Madamei-
selle, but mind, the next time you come
to consult Ime give me the name Of the
young man you are going to make 50
happy in spite of himself"
aYou shall have it without fail"
a fortnight afterward, the young girl
again knocked at the door Of the coun-
sells room. No sooner was she within,
than she flung herself into chair, saying
that the walk had made her breathless.-
Her counsel endeayored to reassure her,
made her inhale salts, and even proposed
to unloose her garments.
"It is useless, Monsieur" she said, III
am much better"
"Well, now, tell me the name Of the
fortunate mortal
"Weil, then, the fortunate mortal, be
it known to you, is-yourselfl'' said the
young beauty, bursting into laugh. 81
love you, | have been here three times
tete-a tets-with you, and my four wit
nesses are below, ready and willing to ac-
company me to magistrate, gravely
continued the narrator.
The lawyer thus caught had the good
sense not to get angry. The most singu-
lar fact of all is that he adores his young
wife, who by the way makes an excellent
housekeeper.

PHANTONIs.
By MARGUERITE HARP.

Beside the rolling river, beneath the trystins
tree,
burned my darling's letters, and said that
was free.
To silent months of absence Iistern remem
brance gave,
And cen erpictured features buried in the
wave.
I fingered but moment to view the moon,
lit sky,
And in the far, far distance thought heard
sigh.
l left my home for strangers, I sought the dis.
tant sea,
And yet on land or water my darling was
with me;
With white hands meekIy folded, and NOV
ing as in sleep,
Her visionary figure was ever on the deep,
She met me in the morning, she walked with
me at noon,
She beckoned me at midnight beneath the
placid moon.
/
Amid the summer brightness her words sprung
up in light;
They sparkled in the dewdrops that gemmed
the lilies white,
They flushed in vivid roses along the rocky
glen,
They starred the velvet meadows among the
homes of men;
The leaf, the bud, the blossom, had each a
tale to tell,
heard her in the valley and on the hills as
well.
In Christian lands or heather a weary life
led,
With ever close beside me my darling's
noiseless tread;
And though burned her lettetsl and cen
their ashes hurled
Into the rolling river, they followed round the
world.
They formed across the ocean, they rippled
in the rill,
And on the lake or river, her words were with
me still.
Ileft the land ofstrangers; crossed again
the sea,
And Iured BY voice and vision. I sought the
trysting tree;
l knelt in speechless anguish beforea moon
lit cross.
And read from polished marble the story of
my loss.
MY tears fell fast above her who slept beneath
the sod,
For when burned her letters my darling
was with God.

NUMBER 27
Democratic Platform, Adopted a
Columbus, Thursday. May "a.
1866. -

Resoloed, That the Democracy of Ohio
will adhere in the present and in the fu-
ture as in the past, with unfaltering fdel-
tity and frmness to the organizations Of the
Democratic Party, and to its ancient and
well settled principles as enuneiated by
Thomas Jefferson, the great Apostle Of
American Democracy, and as acknewl-
edged and accepted by the party from the
foundation of the Government; and espe-
cially of equal taxation, and Of repre-
sentation of all States subject to taxation.
Resolued, That the one great question
of the day is the IMMEDIATE AND UNCoN-
OPTIONAL RESTORATION OF ALL THE
STATES TO THE EXERCISE OF THEIR
RIGHTS WITHIN THE FEDERAL UNION UN.
DER THE Constitution; and that we will
cordially and actively support ANDREW
JOHNSON, as President Of the United
States, in all necessary and proper means
to carry out his policy as directed to that
end; and especially in securing .immedi-
ate representation in the Senate and House
o. Representatives, to the eleven States
from which it is now unconstitutionaily
and arbitrarily withheld, unless on the
degrading condition of inferiority in the
Union, and of negro political and civil
equality enforced by the Federal Govern
ment. III
Resolued, That for the purposes above
set forth, we will cordially cooperate in
public meetings, conventions and at the
polls, with all men, without reference to
past party positions, who honestly and
by their acts and votes as well as by their
professions, support the President in his
policy of restoration as now declared.

expense of the leading patriarch of the
church. There is a legend that one day
a woman went to Brigham for counsel
touching some alleged oppression by an
officer of the church, Brigham, like true
politician, assumed to know ber: butwhen
it became necessary to record her case,
hesitated and said:
"Let me see, sister-I forget your
name"
"My name?" was the indignant reply
why, l am your wifel"
"When did | marry your"
The woman informed the president, =
who referred to an account book in bis

A Thirty Thousand Dollar Job

The head clerk of large firm in
Charlestown promised an old customer,
one day, half bale of Russia duck to be
on hand precisely at one o'clock, when
the man was to leave town with his goods.
The firm we're out of duck, and the clerk
went over to Boston to buy some. Not
finding truckman, he hired man TO
take it over in his wheelbarrow. Fin
ishing other business, on hit return to
Charlestown, the clerk found the man not
half way over the bridge, sitting on his
barrow half dead with the heat.
What was to be done ? 1t was then
half-past twelve, and the goods were
promised at one. There was not mo
ment to lose. In spite of the heat, the
dust and his fine. light summer clothes,
the young man seized the wheelbarroW
and pushed on.
Pretty soon rich merchant whom the
young man knew very well, riding on
horseback, overlook him.
"What," said he, "Mr. Wilder turned
truckman l''
"Yes," answered the clerk. "The
goods are promised at one o'clock, and
my man has given out; but you see / am
determined to be as good as my word
"Good, good!' said the gentleman and
trotted on.
Calling at the store where the young
man was employed, he told his employer
what he mad seen.
"And | want you to tell him" said the
gentleman, "that when he goes into bust
ness for himself, my name is at his ser.
vice for thirty thousand dollars"
Reaching the store, which he did ir
time, you may be sure the high prices
set on his conduct made amends for all
the heat, anxiety, and fatigue of the
LOB.
| Keeping has s0ord. You see how I'm
Iportant it is regarded. 1t is one Of the
best kinds of capital business man car
have. To be worth much to anybody, q
boy must form character for reliability
He must be depended upon. And yor
will'like to know perhaps that this young
man became one Of the most eminen
merchants Of his day, known far and wide
both in Europe and this country. His
name was S. v. s. Wilder, and he was tht
first President of the American Trac
Society," Childs Paper.

special train of cars. 1t SO happened
that the Superintendent was strong
Wing. On Bob's making known his err

his road did not run any special train fer
the President.
"Whatr" said Bob, ibid you not fur

General Harrison?"
= "Yes," said the Superintendent, pat
ting Bob on the back, "and if you'll bring
your father in that shape you shall have

IRON FOR CHICKENS. An exchange
says that when piece Of iron is thrown
into trough where chickens drink water,
they are not affected with chicken chol-

that his chickens are thriving, while those
of his neighbors are dying daily. As the
chicken cholera is raging to some extent
throughout the country, it might be we'll
to try it. Iron will not hurt fowls, and
