Co OPERATION OF THE WRE-No man ev-
er prospered in the world without the coop
Grafton of his wife. If she unites in mutual
endeavors, or rewards his labors with an en-
dearing smile, with what confidence will he
resort to his merchandise or his farm, fly over
lands, sail upon seas, meet difficulty and en-
counter danger, if he knows that he is not
spending his strength in vain, but that his
labors will be rewarded by the sweets of
home. Solicitude and disappointment enter
the history of every mans life, and he is but
half provided for his voyage who finds but
an associate for happy hours, while for his
months of darkness and distress no sympa-
thising partner is prepared.
The VIRGINIA DEMocRAcY-The Richmod
Enquirer agonizes over the critical condition
Of the Virginia Democracy in the following
ugubrious strIins:-
awe believe the conviction is universal that
the Democratic party Of this State has not
been in so critical a condition since the great
overthrow of 1910. The ranks of the enemy
are largely recruited from variety of sources,
aud, what is worse, our own strength is seri-
ously impaired by smothered spirit of dis
affection. This state of things has not es-
capped the observation of Wing editors; and
hence, ;hey manifest n confidence anda true
uence which contrast strangely with their
habtual despair and pacific disposition. There
are Democrats, too, of sagacity who look for
ward to the next canvass with mistrust and
apprehension"

thought that you can, and therefore NAV, live
above labor, and without work. Among the

help the right or defeat the wrong Who can
think with any calmness of such miserable
careerY And however It may be with you in
active enterprise, never permit your influence
to go in hostility to the cause of truth and
virtue. So live, that with the Christian poet,

Peculiar circumstance.

On reference to resolutions adopted
by St. James Masonic Lodge, in to-
days paper it will be seen that owing
to peculiar circumstances" they were
denied a right, which has from time to
time, been called in question, and it is
high time that some expression should
be given to we'll grounded indigna-
ton which the peculiar circum-
stances referred to, has occasioned.
We take upon ourselves the cham
pionship; and now that We have the
expressed feelings of a respectable
body to justify us in the warfare, We
throw down the gauntlet and defy all
and singular, every jot Of power that
can be brought against US.
A brother of one Of the respectable
orders-(the Masous, the Odd Fellows
or the Sons Of Temperance), has en-
ished a good work Of charity. and
Christian benevolence, and is called by
death, from the scene Of bis earthly
labors: the Catholic Church gets up
some factious claim to the body-it is
taken to the Church. church to
whose dummery of nonsense, and an
ti-republican spirit, the Giving was Vi
olently opposed; and here the mum.
merry Of misbegotton jagron, wrong
ly denomiDated Latan, must be said to
offend the living, and outrage the
dead. The bretheren of the deceased,
to whom he was allied by every tie Of
affection, and to whom his services, of
true christianity and benevolence were
given, have followed their departed
friend to the threshold Of the Church.
they have come voluntarily to offer
the last rites to their departed friend
and brother, and to fulfil request
made to them, at the bed side, when
the grasp Of death was upon him.
Contrast the feelings Of such a
band, under such circumstances, with
the cold calculating forms Of a relig- !
ion that levies q tax, and measures its
service according to the silver beam
A religion ever grasping, ever dissatis-
fed unless it be turning gold into its
Golfers, and coming silver out Of the
ignorance and cupidity Of the multi
tude-that would pry into the secrets
Of the family circle-sell licenses for
the commission O. crime, and put a
check if it could, to the workings of
Gods Intelligence in the minds of
men. Tell us not to be moderate
ask us not to be temperate; our blood
boils at these things, that would take
the garments Of the Holy religion Of
Jesus Christ to cover their deformi-
ty!
Let US turn again to our picture Of
The procession of friends and relatives
who have followed in solemn pace the
body Of their brother to the threshold
Of the church. Here they are met by
\ Priest who denies them admission
, foreigner whose politieo-religious
system, does not permit him to become
4 citizen-a man who knows no lord
Dr. master, and offers no allegince,
ave to some mere man like himself
who is cloaked with the sanctity ofSt
Peters at honorable old Rome, and
claims" the homage Of all nations
What absurdity! What impiety
What SANDER to common sense and
reason!
And pray let US ask, where does
he church get the power thus WELD
ID? On one hand it obtains strength
rom the tyrant to whom it has ever
,cen faithful ally; and on the other
rom the weakness of the female ,
character. and the ignorance of an H. I

The LOUISIANA CANE CurrEn.-
Yesterday from polite invitation
from the Hon f. H. Hatch, We had the
pleasure to examine working model
. patent Cane cutter, now at the Peni-
tantiary. In the culture Of the Cane,
this machine is calculated to econo-
mise, not only labor and expense, but
to work . material saving, DOW lost in
cutting with knives. It is calculated
70 do the work of about 100 hands in
cutting season. The machine is SIM
PIE and We make no doubt will meet
entire success. The power necessary
for moving the carriage works two
horizontal circular saws. that are de-
signed to cut the Cane uniformly.
