The Confession Of q Democrat.

Wheeler, of the Milwaukee Sc7atieez,
writes Of an incident on the Hudson
River Railroad in this wise An Old
man sat by his side, and finally address
sing him, the Milwaukeean said:
''ST, you seem to have travelled q
great distance ?"
yes, some two thousand miles"
"Ah, indeed; what part of the
iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
'Thcn you can express an opinion as
to the result Of the presidential canvass
il these States"
"No [ can't. I might have done SO
before [ left home. but now that I have
got back | confess I don't know any
thing about it.
Don't you find the sentiment very
strong for Lincoln ?"
"Ies- sentiment, indeed, rather
than sense The Re publicans enlist all
the sentiment; they are q sentimental
set.''
Seeing Twas more amused than sur
prlsed, he continued:
"See, here, III tell you. / am sixty
years old. I have raised family Of
four boys, end raised them al in the
orthodox Democratic faith. Fifteen
years ago my boy John went to Illinois,
and voted the Democratic ticket REG
uIarly. did well with John, and help
ed him stock his farm and pay off his
mortgage. he was a smart boy-was
John. Well, sir, when tie debate be-
tween Douglas and Lincoln was raging
III Illinois, John got crotchct IN his
head and became q Republican. 1t
was hard blow for me, I tell you,-
Well, Phil. grew up, and I set him up
III Dcs Moines, bought him quarter
section and told him to get married.
Phil. did well, but the first thingI /
heard was that he was a Republican,
and the young scamp tried to convert
me by writing long letters about the
Kansas muss, &c. I talked pretty
sharp to both Of them, but they both
voted for Fremont in spite of me. But
there was Roger and Dan both at home
yet, and I fe.t sure they would ne ,cr
desert the faith Of their father. I set
Roger up in Iowa alongside Of his broth
er, with a faint hope that he might re-
claim him. And Dan went of to Rock
county, Wisconsin. It nearly broke
nay heart, but what could [ do. The
boys said they now saw the crrcr Of
voting for Buchanan. Well, sir, III
few months I made up my mind to go
West myself, for the first dine in my
life, and see about things. [ did go
West, and ! happened to hear Douglas
make q speech while I was away from
hoHse. You may not believe it, sir,
but I'm going home now and I don't
know whether I ain a Democrat or a
Republican myself"

upon Divine Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other our hueg, our for

Cater Boots.

a little glove stirs up the eeart
As tides stir up the ocean,
And snow-white muslin, when is fits,
Wakes many curious notion;
All sorts of lady fxings thrill
Ny feelings as they'd orter,
But little female gaiter boots
Are death and nothing shorter!
And just to put you on your guard,
l'll give you, short and brief,
a small hotel experience,
Whic-i filed ny heart With grief
Last summer at the ''Wisconsin'
stopped a week or more,
And marked two ''booties" every morn
Before my neighbors door;
Two boots with patent leather tips
Two boots which seemed to say,
"4n angel trots around in u.s.
They stole my heart away.
And often in my nightly dreams
They swept before NY face,
A lady growing out Of them,
AS flowers from out a vase:
But O ! one morn l saw a sight
Which struck me like stone
Some other name was on the book
Those boots were not alone
4 great tall pair of ether boots
Were standing by their side,
And off they walked that afternoon,
And with them walked bride
