The Wisconsin Democracy IN Trouble

We have before mentioned the coalition
formed at Milwaukee between the Demo-
Gratis and the Know No.hings. The Chi
cago Press, of Tuesday, says:
The so called Democracy are having a
nice time IN Wisconsin. The Germans
throughout the State are repudiating their
ticket, and they are losing many more votes
from this cause than they have gained from
their nice little side arrangement with the
Know Nothing party. Seeing how things
were going, they finally resolved TO follow
the example of Douglas in Illinois, by stalk
ing everything upon the assumed issue Of
the political and social equality of the negro.
But their orators had not more than opened
in full cry upon this tack, before the Re-
pubicans thrust in their faces the record Of
Mr.. Cross, their candidate for Governor,
on this subject. The dignitary, it seems,
only few years ago, headed a petition for
negro suffrage! According TO the Douglas
gospel, Mr.. Cross, the Democratic candi.
date for Governor of Wisconsin, is in favor
of the political and social equality of the
negro with the white race" and all those
who support him for that office are in favor
OF amalgamation and all its concomtants
AT the latest dates from the seat of war
much swearing and drinking Of bad whisky
were in progress.

A woman can keep a secret.

The following authentic story will invali-
date the often repeated charge against women
that ssthey cannot keep secret" Some years
since, a lady called at glover's shop in the
outskirts of the city Of London, and purchased
a pair Of gloves for the immediate wear, obser-
wing at the same time, that she was on heI
way 10 Burnet--that she had left her gloves al
her friends house where she had called, and
that she WIS apprehensive of being benighted
IL she went back for them. The glover fitted
on the gloves and the lady, after paying for
them from purse well stocked with bank
notes, steppe.. into her carriage, and proceed.
ed on her journey. She he'd scarcely reached
Finchly Common: when highwayman stop
ped the carriage, and demanded he money
He entreated her not to be alarmed, as he had
no intention on her person-if she surrender
ed her property, il was all he wanted, declaring
that distress, and not his will, urged him to
this desperate act, and he was determined to
remove his pecuniary wants, or perish. The
lady gave him her purse, and the desparado
rode of.
After he was gone, and her fright bad sub
sided. the lady imagined, that in the address Of
the highwayman, she recognized the voice Of
the glover she had Just before dealt with
This conceit struck her so forcibly, that she
ordered her servant to drive back to town
not choosing, size said, to venture farther over
the heath.
On her arrival at the glover's, she knocked
and gained admission, the glover himself open
Ing the door. The lady desired to speak with
him in private. The glover showed her to a
back parlor; when she exclaimed, am
come for my purse, OF which you robbed me
this evening on FinchIy Common!''
The glover was COMPOUNDED and the lady
proceeded" It is of no use for you to deny
it. lam convinced, and your life is at my
mercy. Return me my property, and trust to
my humanity"
The glover overcome with gnilt, shame and
confusion, confessed the crime. returned the
purse, and pleaded his distress. The lady, af-
Ter ,itable admonitioa, gave him ten pound
note, babe him mend his way of life, and keep
his own counsel adding that she would not
divulge his name or place of abode. She kept
her word and though the robbery was stated
in the public papers, the discovery was omit
ted and il was not until yecently, that min
ute account + this singular transaction was
found among the papers Of the lady alluded 70.
Even in the private memorandum, the name
and residence Of the glover was omitted; and
the secret, in that particular, rests with the
lady in the grave!

Business q means Of Grace.

Wesften hear Christians complain of their
lsanness and emptiness. and attribute it to
their business. II they are correct in the
cause Of their want Of religious enjoyment,
then either they are engaged in wrong BUSH
ness, or they are pursuing it in wrong man
ner. No lawful business-and Christ ain
cannot engage in any other-pursued in prop
er manner, will injure the religious enjoyment
Of the child of God. He that has the love Of
God in his heart, and does his whole. duty
each day, toward God and man. will never find
occasion to charge the blame Of his leanness
to his business. The true Christian, who does
all that he does to the glory Of God, is never
more happy than when full of bushes. Let
him connect his business with God let him
work for God every day in the week, and con-
secrate all his income to the furtherance Of
his cause In the earth, and he will find that his
business, instead of being hipdrante, will be
heip--a real means Of grace to him. Instead
Of letting his business swallow up his religion,
his religion will swallow up his business. To
all the dear brethren who are crippled il their
religious enjoyment by their daily callines,
would recommend the course pursued by Nor
mand Smith.
