Wednesday, Oct’r 25, 1876.
A correspondent of the Constitution
alist, speaking of C. W. Seidel, E: o .
says: In our travels over the country
we hear him prominently spoken of in
connection with the clerkship of the
next House of Representatives. So far
as efficiency is concerned, we know if
no one better qualified for the position,
and it is believed he will be elected by
an overwhelming majority.
John Adams, colored, was elected to
the Legislature from Lee county by a
large majority, but a few days after
wards, the county suveyor, in the course
of his rounds, found out that the Hon
John lived exactly seventeen feet out of
the line, 'and hence could not take his
seat from Lee county The Democratic
candidate, therefore, is elected, and tncp
Hon. John lacks just .seventeen feet o
the State Capitol.
<£> ♦
In 1873 the number of bridegrooms in
England who could not write even their
own names in the marriage register
amounted to eighteen per cent. The
number of women entering wedlock, but
who had to affix an X to their register,
was as high as twent-five per cent. In
1874, the per centago had decreased to
seventeen and twenty four respectively.
London, strictly controlled by the Cen
tral School Board, had only eight per
cent, of men and thirteen of women who
could not sign the marriage register,
while Bedfordshire had twenty seven
per cent, of men and thirty-three of wo
men laboring under this disability, and
North ‘Wales as many as twenty-six
per "cent, of males and thirty four per
cent. of females.
A SCOW'S INTELLIGENCE.
The Carson Appeal is responsible for
the following “true story
“There is a young man residing here
about who became interested, recently,
in a discussion about animal instincts.
He said he had been witness of several
wonderful evidences of these instincts,
one of which he had refrained from
relating for fear he would not be believed.
Back in one of the Eastern States, where
he was born he said among his father’s
stock was' one remarkable cow. She
was a great pet, and would leave the
rest of the herd for the society of all or
any one of the family, to whom she
would listen as if she understood exactly
what was said. His father sold the
farm and bought another about three
miles distant, and this cow would listen
to the story about it and their proposed
removal to their new home at a certain
time. This cow was expected to become
a mother shortly, or about the time of
their removal; but when the time came
to remove, the cow could nowhere be
found. So the family took their depart
ure from their old home regretting the
loss of their pet cow ; but on arriving
at their new house they were equally
surprised and delighted to find that then
old pet preceded them three days,
where she had taken up her home and
given birth to a fine calf.

CONFESSION OF A STEPMOTHER.
A lady of my acquaintance made to mo the
following confession, which I will relate in her
own words as nearly as possible ; “When Mr.
Lee and 1 were married, his lit,lc daughter, Jane,
was two years old, and a very nice little girl she
was, and a very affectionate child too. For some
time Jane was the idol of my heart; hut' in a few
weeks, unaccountable as it is, my ardor began
to cool, and continued to do so, until 1 regarded
Jane with downright aversion. The quick in
tellect of the child was not long iti seeing the
difference, and, with tears in her eyes, she would
often ask mo what was the matter. She gener
ally received an unmothcrly answer, and was
told to ask no questions. When my own daugh
ter, Mary, grew up to be two or three years old,
1 own that there was a vast difference made be
tween them. The nicest dresses and play things
were always given to Mary, and when she be
came tired of them, poor Jane had to giv up
hers to her. Mr. I.ee often looked dull, and
sighed ; but be never scolded. Jane seemed
never to enjoy herself only when sitting by her
father, and that circumstance almost made me
hate the child. She was not cross or disobedi
ent, either to me or Mary; for I made her mind
Mary as faithfully as ever a trembling negro
obeyed her mistress in time of slavery.
Jane once asked Mr. Lee something about her
mother; but I ordered her to do so no more.
The tea. s stood in Mr. Lee’s eyes, and lie at
tempted to speak, but he choked up. Now,
when I think of it, I can see plainly that the
neighbors saw my partiality ; but then 1 did not
think they would ever notice it,. After a while,
Jane began to louk pale and feeble; the luster
had left her eyes ; and she seemed setlied down
in melancholy and deep despondency The
truth is, (but 1 hate to oo*n it,) I wished she
would die. She was soon confined to her bed,
and said but little. One beautiful September
evening, when we had company, Jane asked me
to roll her bed where she could see the beauti
ful setting sun. I went and whispered to her:
“If you ask such a request, again you will be sorry
for it.” She said no more. The company were
talking on various topics ; and among others,
tney spoke of the beautiful full moon, just then
rising above the eastern horizon. Jane asked
her father to take her in his arms and let bet
look at it; “for,” said she, “I shad never see
that lovely moon rise again.” He carried her to
the window, and remained a few minutes. She
remarked, “how clear and bright, and beautiful
that full moon appears! I shall never see it
again ! Take me to my bed Ipither, lam so
cold ! I can not live till morning!” lie laid her
down, gave her a few drops of laudanum, and
she soon tell asleep. I retired to my room to
sleep; but my conscience smote me so sorely,
that I slept but little..
After a while I dropped off to sleep. I was
very abruptly awakened by cries and sobs in
the sick room. Mr. Lee came into my room and
said, “Poor Jane is almost gone!” I arose,
went in, and went to her bedside, but she was
speechless. She held out her little thin pale
hand to me, which I took in mine. 1 kissed her
pale cold cheek and said, “1 love you my darling
child.” A heavenly smile lit up her counten
ance ; for though she never spoke again, I know
that she perfectly understoodjrne. In a few mo
ments she was gone to the land ot the ble sed.”
Against the lady was done her confession, my
tears were flowing thick and fast; but she told
me to dry my tears ; for it was all a dream.
“Though,” said she, “I am a stepmother; but 1
never was inclined to show partiality; and bad
I been, this frightful dream would have set me
right,” Now, .ladies, you who are stepmothers,
keep tlii 3 dream, and read it occasionally, and
be| certain that you act right with "your step
children, and God will *bless you for so-doing
in time and in eternity.

Rev 0 T Walker, formerly pastoral' Bowdoin
Square Church, Boston, and at present settled in
Providence, It. 1., must be deemed as reliable
evidence. No one should fail to observe that
this testimonial is the result o 'two years’ expo

Walker’s family, who now pronounce it invalua

1 lie Best Evidence.
The following letter from Rev E 8 Pest, Pas
tor of the M J', Shurcli, Natick, Mass., will be
read wiHi interest by many physicians; also
those suffering from the same disease as afflicted
the son ot the Rev F, S Best. No person can
doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about
the curative power of Vegrtixe.
Natick, Mass , Jan, Ist, ISTG.
Mr. 11. It. S sevens— Dear Sir: We ’nave
good reason for regarding your Vegetixk a med
icine of the greatest value. We feel assured
that it has been the means of saving our son’s
lite. He is now seventeen years of age; for the
last two years lie has suffered from necrosis of
the leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible A council of
able physicians could give us but the faintest
hope of his eve ■ rallying; two cf the number
declaring that he was beyond the reach of hu
man remedies, that even amputation could not
save him as he had not vigor enough to endure
the operation. Just then we commenced giving
him V kcktike and from .hat time to the present
he has been continuously improving, lie has
lately thrown away Lis crutches and cane, and
walks about cheerluby and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in a little time lie will be
pi rfeetly cured.
lie has taken about three dozen bottles of
Vecetixe, but. lately uses but little, as lie no
dares he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully vonrs,
E. S. BEST,
