an actress by taste, pretty by general eonccs-
sion was conyertedp in Boston last week.
An early passion for the stage finally brought
her upon it; first in England then in Boston.
She was going home from the theatre one
night with her sister, also an actress, and while
passing a church was attracted by hearing
some one eXhortinG in a loud way she went
in, her sister would not The next night not
being cast in a play, she visited the church
instead OF the theatre. She became convinced
that she was a great sinner, that the theatre
was a bad place, that it was her duty to aban-
don the stage. At length her mind became
50 much disturbed, that she left the theatre
aud sought peace in Christ" destroyed her
stage wardrobe aud eschcwed Shakespeare and
Bourclaut. Daring ucr remarks She took ac-
caslon to express ali oppinion that the theatre
was an exceedingly bad place-in fact, no other
than the gateway to hell" The influence cf
tue theatre she felt sure, was baneful to the
morals andpcty of people, and none could
attend tie one and have the other She closed

Messrs, Editors In the Democrat
of Saturday last, l have read of the dem
onstration of the laborers of Davenport, de-
manding work or bread.
Without going into any disquisition OF the
present organization of society. one thing
must be admitted by all, that "the laborer
is worthy of his hire" This demonstration
of the laborers shows clearly that there is
something wrong somewhere they certain
ly should be at work, and as certainly sho'd
not be clamoring for bread.
There is probably more grain in first and
second hands in Scott county to-day, than
the whole amount that has been here on the
2lst day of June since the settlement Of the
country. There is also any amount OF labor
that might be done to advantage. Then
what is the difficulty?
The price of produce is so low that farm
ers cannot employ men at any profit, at
price that they are willing to work for
Farmsrs can afford to pay hands for raising
corn the price Of two bushels per day, fo'
raising whsss one bushsl to put in the crop
