A certain young man was frequently
cautioned by his father to vote for

do SO, and soon after received a bonus
to vote for Mr.. Peck.
His father, astonished at his voting
for man whom he deemed objection
able, inquired his reasons for voting
so. Surely, father said the young

A certain young gentleman could
not overcome his love for the ardent
and applied to DIR. VIII for advice.
The DIR. promised to cure him, provid
ed he would follow strictly the advice
given. Having pledged himself to do
this, the DIR. had him confined in a
room for three weeks, allowing no
one to see him, and during that time
he was furnished with nothing to
drink, except very mean article of
whisky, all of the edibles sent to him
being seasoned with the article. The
bread that he ate was even prepared
with whisky, instead of water. The
DIR. was certain that he had effected a
complete cure, but ON releasing the
young man, what was his astonish-
ment to learn that his patient couldn't
eat anything unless it was completely
saturated with liquor.
Moral-'Tis better to endure the
ills we have, than to fly to those we
know nothing of.

DIR. BROCK ON ENGLISH BAP-
TIsTs.-Rev. William Brock, ID. d..
now a representative English Bap
fist i'll this country, spoke, recently,
at a large gathering of his brother
en- in Chicago, who came together to
give him welcome. The Times
thus reports his remarks:
DIR. Il. referred to the unwisc pol
icy of surrendcring the freedmen
into the keeping of their late OPP
prcssors, and cited Jamaica to prove
what would he the result. The
Shareholders would do all that was
in their power to make the state OF
freedom more intolcrable than that
of the slavery from which they had
escaped. He also gave very inter
esting account of the baptist edu-
cational interests in England, di-
rcctcd principally to the education
of young men for the gospel min
istry. AS an evidence that the
Baptistsof England were live pco-
pie, he stated that they had raised
in two years and a quarter, ESQ, 900
sterling for church extension pur
poses. The London Association are
building one church every year in
some one of the JcrbS of that
great metropolis. Mr.. Surgeons
church had $500 members and was
undoubtedly the largest Christian
church in the world. Mr.. LandelrS
had 800 members. His own had $50.
Baptist Nocl'S $50. The Baptist
churches of London are strong and
aggressive bodies. But You have
no idea, here in this land of entire
religious freedom, Of the difficulties
under which the nonconformists of
England labor,in the shape of church
rates, Easter dues, and a great many
other annOyanccS growing out of an
established church. He closed with
IN eloquent appeal for hcpreserva-
ton of harmony and t'ratcrnal rela-
tons between England and America
united by common ties of blood
and common christianity. But it is
possible in Il brief sketch to give
only il faint idea Of the address.
which was full of humOr, good En-
gliSh scnSc-SomctimcS eloquent
pcrvadcd with beautiful spirit
rcdolcnt of kindness and marked
with religious tcrvor.
1t is safe to infer that DR.. Brooks
late Sojourn at the South has not
dcmoralized him on the subject o.
slavery. His English heart reveals
that its fibre is at this point of the
trucSt kind.

DEMOCRATIC lEOGRAMME.-lIl Is
interesting to see the Democratic
party in Connecticut, New IIamp-
shire, Vermont, and in other parts
of the country, recording itself in
unanimous opposition to the Consti-
tutional amendment. There is Il
certain foSsilizcd consistency in the
act. The Democrats opposed the
warrior the Union, through the great
majority of their leading men and
presses; they resisted the employ
mcnt of negro troops; ey de
nounccd the emancipation policy;
they threw their whole strength
against the abolition amendment of
the Constitution; and now that Con
gress has proposed another amend
mcnt, the Just sequel of the forcgO-
ing measures and calculated to
merge the whole national cOntrOvcr-
Sy in the renewal Ofpcrmancnt union
and peace, they resist that also.
One might suppose that they would
have learned more practical wisdom
by this time. But the truth is, that
10y invctcratc devotion to slavery
and their ill-disguiscd sympathy
with traitors, they have condemned
themselves to Il course from which
they cannot divcrge. Solong, then.
as the issues of this political era re-
tain any vitality, and perhaps ioI
some time after they are really dead
and disposed of, we may expect to
, see the Democratic party cropping
in the same old bog Of pro-slavcry
scccSSionists, rcactionary and illib
5 cral ideas. The prospect is not with
on. its pleasant features to all ami
f mated by purposes in better accord
: ancc with the age.
