THE GAZETTE. 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. _ * > For The Gazette.] 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.

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.
