Stephens’ Cousin, I am full cousin of the late Ex-Governor Alex ander H. Stephens, and have been a postal clerk on different railroads since isus. For ten years I have been a sufferer from a cancer on m.v face, which grew worse until the discharge of matter became profuse and very offensive. 1 became thoroughly disgusted with blood purillcrs and pronounced them humbugs, as I had tried many w2thout relief. Finally I was induced to use B. B. 8., which was about tbe Ist of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health and 1 rapidly gained health and strength. The discharge gradually decreased and the cancer became less and less in size until nothing remains but a scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me since I have commenced tlie use of B. B. B. bear testimony of my great improvement, and the scar on my face allows that it cured tlie cancer. 1 find that IS. 11. B. comes squarely up to what it is recommended slid l cannot say too much in praise of this wondetfuf medicine. 1 have tried them all, but 11. B. B, stands at the top as a blood purifier. The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Watch man. being the voluntary language of Mr. James A. Greer, which editor Gantt in dorsee. “Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of Athens who had a bad cancer, and his numerous friends thought that he could not live very long, as the cancer was gradually sapping tin* founda tion of liis constitution, but now looks well and hearty,” 2 Against 18. Several physicians have pronounced my disease blood poison, caused by paint, or lead in the paint, but they could not cure me. Last sum mer I used eighteen bottles of a largely advertised blood medicine, which did me no more good than so much water. I have used only two bottles of B. B, B. and am proud to say that 1 have received a greater benefit from them than from the eighteen, and am now rapidly recovering. There is no ques tion about the superiority Of 11. 11. B. over all blood remedies. 215 Reynolds street W. H. Woody. Augua, Ga., April 21st, 1816.

[Copnriyh~ , < Utst, by A. Ji. Kellogg Seutpaper Co.\ CHaP'PER XXll.—Continued. Did they have a cat at their house? Yes, certainly, and a titter went round the room, making' the lrairv mole on Mother Tartrum’s chin tremble. Did they have a kitten? The prosecuting attorney did not see that this was rele vant, but. the justice did. Yes, they had a kitten. How old was the. kitten? Four or live months old. Was it a very playful kitten? It was, but was never knoivu to open a carpet bag and hide away a gold bracelet. This produced a laugh at the lawyer's expense, and Mother Tartrum clapped her hands for joy, while tlie hairy mole on her chin was greatly agitated. The lawyer then asked Ilallie if she knew who put the bracelet in the car pet bag? No, she did not. Did she do it? “No,” very indignantly. She was dismissed and Mrs. Arnold sworn. Her examination in chief was the same as her daughter’s. Then on cross-examination she admitted that it was not dark when Helen and “Pete, the peddler,” came to her house. That Helen's brother was with her and both were soaked with rain. That Pete was a man of good character, and that they stated that Pete had found Helen and her little brother under a tree, and he volunteered to carry tlie little boy that far. She even thought that there might be nothing wrong in her coming there with Pete. Mother Tartrum at this point shook her head. Mrs. Ar nold stated that they had a eat, yes they had an old eat, and that old eat had two kittens, they were very play ful kittens too, but she had never known them to hide things in people's valises. Might not tlie bracelet have rolled from the dressing ease? It might, she admitted, but it was not likely to roll into some other persons carpet bag. Had she ever heard Helen’s character questioned prior to this event? Well, there lmd been some rumors. Mothers Tartrum and Grundy nodded tlieir heads approvingly. What were they? She could not repeat them, but they went to show that she was not as good as she ought to be. Had she not helped to circulate these rumors? She might have repeated them- Had she not advised Mrs. Stu art to discharge Helen? Mrs. Arnold was confused, and stammered out something about its being for the good of tlie family. “Speak out, Mrs. Arnold,” said Lay man. severely. “Did you, or did you not advise Mrs. Stuart to discharge her?” After a moment’s confusion, she stammered, “yes.” “And then employed her yourself?” The lady, still more confused, answered that she did. She left the witness stand greatly perplexed, but still clear as to the bracelet being found in Hel en’s possession. It was found among some handkerchiefs wrapped up in a piece of blue calico goods, new, and evidently just cut off the piece. The calico was produced. She had never seen it before; it was found in Helen’s carpet bag. and Helen whispered to her attorney that she had never seen it either, until that fatal morning. Did not the goods really belong to Mrs. Ar nold? Sin* said: “No.” Mother Tartrum next took the stand and said the “gal was no better'll she art to lx*—aliens said she’d come to bad. Was not the least bit surprised when she heard she'd stole a bracelet.” On cros.s-examiiiation, said she didn’t think it nice for a “gal to be mimin' about after night with men. What men had Helen run about with after night? She heard she went home one night with Warren Stuart from meet in’. Did not other girls allow young men to accompany them home from church? The hairy mole trembled and her eyes flashed with rage. “Other gals didn't come to people’s houses with strange men 'way after night to stay all night.” When had she gone to any one’s house with a strange man? She went to Judge Arnold’s. This was thrown out with a side glance of fire. Did not Mrs. Arnold say that Helen and Pete come there before night? Mother Tartrum was caught. Her face was dark with wrath, and she left the stand more hopelessly confused than Mrs. Arnold. Mother Grundy came next and was no better. Hut the discovery of the bracelet in Helen's carpet bag, and her admission of the fact to the sheriff fastened the guilt upon her. The evidence was all in, and the justice cleared his throat, elevated Iris glasses and rubbed the top of his head, very much as if he had u painful duty to perform. CHAPTER XXIII. THE ACQUITTAL Squire Bluffers was nibbing his head as if lie was in no hurry to decide this case. He calmly surveyed the audi ence who waited his decision. His eyes rested nervously for a moment upon the pale yet calm features of the prisoner. Judge Arnold, with arms folded, sat erect, his short roan whisk ers almost horizontal with his ears. He looked triumphant. To him there was but one way a man of common sense could decide. Mrs. Arnold’s head was once more high in the air. Hallie is triumphant and Mother Tartrum occasionally sends fiery glances at Helen and her lawyer. At this moment hurried were heard upon the pavement with out, During the last moments of the trial the belated train had come in from Stratton, and these hurried steps came from the depot. Two men came in at the door anil commenced elbowing their way through the dense crowd which packed the court room. “I say, Squire Bluffers,” cried" the well-known voice of Pete, the peddler, “hev ye measured this case and torn it oft' yet? If ye heven’t, I’ve got some remnants o’ testimony to throw into the bargain.” Pete, w ith Warren Stuart close be hind him, now struggled through to the small open space about the justice. Warren’s face w<f! pale and his mouth showed a firmness that his friends had not seen before. Judge Arnold arose, bowed and smiled warmly, and took his hand. Warren’* greeting wa* cool, but h was silent. He did not speak to Helen. There was no unnatural, tragical, run ning forward and embracing a> we read of in sensational novels, they merely glanced at each other ami Mrs. Bridges felt Helen’s hand tremble. A discussion now arose as to whether the case was closed, past hearing fur ther testimony or not. The attorney for the State insisted that it was, and Helen's attorney insisted that it was not. The justice agreed with the attorney for the defense. “Now, I j *st want to till that law yer for that gal soiftethin',” said Pete. “ I think I kin make somethin’ clear.” Five minutes was given Mr. Lavnian to consult with the new witness. “What is she accused o' stealin'?” Pete asked. “ A gold bracelet.” ’’ Anv thing else?” “No.” “No money?” “No, that is only a slanderous rumor started by some designing person.” Pete then whispered for a few moments with the attorney, and they returned. The peddler wanted to go after his pack before he gave in his testimony, and wag granted permission by the Squire. He went out, and in a few minutes ! came back with his pack of goods on I his back, lie set it down on tlie floor, and was sworn. Judge Arnold looked puzzled, his wife alarmed, and Hallie confused. Mothers Tartrum and Grundy were no little perplexed, and the mole was * trembling again. “Do you know Helen Lakeman?” asked the attorney for defense. “1 do—she’s an all-wool gal, too, an’ no mistake.” “Never mind figurative speech, Pete, just answer straightforward. Did you see her on the evening she went to Mrs. Arnold's?” “Yes, sir.” “Where did you see her first that evening?” “ It was under a big tree in the lane. She an’ her little brother had stopped under it, out o’ the rain.” “ What did you say to them?” “ I got ’(‘in to go with me to Judge Arnold's house,” said Pete. “ I was goin’ there to stay all night, an’ I car ried her little brother.” “ What time did you get there?” “It was just about sundown. It was still rainin’ an’ I couldn’t exactly tell the’ time, but it was a good bit afore dark.” “ Who met you at tlie door?” “ Nil’s. Arnold.” “ You stayed there all night?” “Yes.” “Where did you sleep that night?” “Up-stairs, right over the parlor.” “ Ait- you an early riser?” “ Yes, sir. I’m all ers lip before any body else. I want to see the sun come up shinin’ through the tree tops as bright as fifteen-eent calico.” “Was you up early that morning?'’ “Yes, an’ I had left my pack in the hall an’ I went down to see if any PETE TESTIFIES. thing was damp, an’ when I gits down there I heard somethin’ rattlin’ behind my pack, an’ pullin’ it ’round saw a party little white kitten playin’ with a gold bracelet.” “Would you know the bracelet?” “1 think I would: there was two lit tle dents like somethin’ had bit it on tlie under side. I took my knife ail’ cut a cross jist. between ’em.” “What do you say as to this being the bracelet?” The lawyer handed Pete the bracelet which had been exhibited so frequently that morning. “That’s it,” said Pete, “an’ here’s the cross I mark ! with my kuife.” He exhibited it to the justice, who was now all interest and attention. “What did you do with that brace let Pete?” asked Mr. Layman. “ I thot that bracelet belonged to Miss Lakeman. Her mother lied a pair like ’em once, and I was sure it wus hers, and she or her brother lied (trapped it there. I took a piece o' goods from my pack an’ tore off this piece (here he held up the blue calico which had puzzled Helen so much), then 1 wrapped up this bracelet an' put it in Miss Lakeman’s carpet bag. I lowed to speak to her about it, but I forgot it. There is the other remnant o’ the piece in my pack,” taking it out and fitting the two pieces together. “Now, by the leave of the court, I will ask Judge Arnold a question,” said Mr. Layman. Leave was granted. “Judge, where did you purchase this bracelet and the mate to it?” “1 bought them,” said the Judge, still calm and dignified, “at the ad ministrator's sale of the property of Mr. Benjamin Lakeman, deceased.” “ Had they not been his wife’s jew elry?” “I do not know.” “They belonged to the family?” “I suppose so, 1 paid forty dollars for tue nan. “We are now willing, your Honor,' said Mr. Layman, “to risk this ease with you.” The justice was smiling a smile which was rather dangerous to the prosecution. “Well, gentlemen,” he said, “this certainly puts anew feature on the case. I shall be compelled to discharge the defendant.” Mrs. Arnold, to her credit be it said, arose and was first to grasp Helen’s liaml and congratulate her. “Helen, my dear, forgive us for the great wrong we have done you.’ “Forgive me, Mrs. Arnold, for I, too, have done you a wrong by accusing you, in my mind, of knowingly perse cuting me.” “I think that ye all owe me a forgive ness, or a good kickin’, I’m not sartain which,” said l’ete, lighting his pipe. “It seems it nil grew out o' one of my blunders. But I kin now sell ye cal icos, linens ami worsteds goods cheap enough to make amends fur it all” At this moment Clarence burst into the room. “Squire!” lib cried, “this girl must go to our house, Her brother is djr “She l-t *nt liberty to go whore she pleases. She is disehargcHl,” said the jiistivt*. “Let no take her,” said Warren. “Warren! What, are you here?” eiied Clarence. “Great goodness! hut this is lucky.” “Did you bring your horse and buggv ?” “Yes.” Warren then spoke a word to Helen, whose pale face grew sad. She took his arm, and they left the court room. All defiance left the face of Hallie Ar- j nold as she saw Helen let', triumphantly away by Warren Stuart. CHAPTER XXIV. CONCLUSION. The good may triumph, but are never triumphant. Only the wicked exult at j their own success and the overthrow of an enemy. The truly noble man or woman never delights in the downfall of another, even though he be an enemy. Triumph and joy were all darkened by the startling intelligence that little Amos was dying and had sent to see his sister. She did not know, but in her imagination had pictured a part of the | little fellow's sufferings. The Lord had been g ood to her, and she prayed God to spare the little brother, if it was llis holy will. Yet, ever through her ears the words kept ringing: “Not my will, but Thine, be done.” Warren and Helen spoke but fi w words on the drive. They both felt that it was a drive to the scene of death, and both were uttering silent prayers for strength to bear up under the coming trial. The old farm house is in sight. Rose stands at the gate looking patiently down the long road. She evinces no sur prise at seeing hey brother and Helen. Her face shows traces of weeping. The father meets them at the door. No word is spoken, but they are con ducted at once to the chamber of death. Mrs. Stuart arises from the bed where she has just completed the sad task of straightening out the little limbs and closing those eyelids forever. Tin* hired girl pauses by tlu* bed-side, and gazes for a moment on the sweet face of her little dead brother. There is a smile upon his face, and Mrs. Stuart says the last words lie uttered were: “Yes, mother, I come—l come!” lie suffers no longer. He had gone to the world of eternal peace aid youth. He was now in’the arms of his mother, in that Celestial City not made with hands. Was tins death? No, though we call it death. A change is a far better term. Was this an act of Providence? We poor, short-sighted mortals are apt to criticise the acts of AlmydiU: God. The languagaof Job was in Helen s mind: “Is there not an appointed time for man upon earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hireling? Asa ser vant earnestly desire th the shadow, and as a hireling looketh for the reward of liis work.” Job VII, Ist and 'id. “If a man die, shall lie live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come.” Job XIV, 14th. Yes, little Amos, did live again. His change had come, and her heart told her it was better for him. Helen felt lonely ; though kind words were spoken to her. There are always so many things to suggest the presence of the departed, long after they' have left us. We seem to hear their voices in the halls, and each garment suggests their presence. Often in the night, Helen seemed to hear the painful cough which had long afflicted her brother. She would start up from her slumbers, so real did the vision seem, and it would be some min utes before she could convince herself that little Amos was liot alive and in the tlesh once more to suffer. Again and again did she in dreams live over the scenes and trials with mat iitue orotner wnom she lovea near-, er than life. DEATH OF AMOS. Both Mr. and Mrs, Stuart did all they could to console poor Helen. Brother Blaze, the minister, came. Oh, what a world of consolation is a good pastor in the hour of sorrow and death. Who can speak such words of comfort as the man of God? •‘Suffer little children to come unto tne and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” he said to the fair mourner. Mrs. Arnold and her husband sent regrets and words of comfort to Helen, but deemed it best not to attend the funeral. Pete, tle peddler, came, and offered the best of his stock for burial clothes. Rose Stuart was Helen’s dear est comforter, not even excepting War ren, who found himself placed in such a strange position that he could offer but little consolation. The only satisfac tion Clarence had, was that he had thrashed Bill Jones, “the destroyer of that child’s life.” The funeral was set for an early day. Rev. Blaise took for his text “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketli away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” The sermon was not noted for elo quence or rhetoric, but it was full of hope and cheer, lie did not, as many ministers do, preach all ’round the sub ject, but right at it. lie said the body lyihg before them was only the casket which had contained little Amos, but that he had left this frail tenement of clay, and was now with his parents in the eternal home where night never comes. There was no cause for weep ing, it was the change of which Job spake. That which was our loss was his eternal gain, and yet as selfish mor tals we could not hut shed tears and long for the society of the departed. His closing remarks about the final meeting upon the shores of the better land, where friends and relatives among that angel band would greet us with loud hosannas, was so stirring as to cause many sobs of tender sympathy and hope, and there we would find the little boy no longer a cripple, but one of the fairest and brightest of all that an gelic host. When the sermon (which was preached in the school-house) was over, the nail-bearers, six bright little ■bovs. carried tne coffin out. and it vrm piacert in the hearse. Then a Inn? string of vehicles, persons on horse- I ( :-\v “EIIE TIIUI'W HER ARMS ABOLT HIS KECK.” back and on foot followed it to the neighborhood burying-grouiid, i\ liei o the father and mother of the child were buried. There he was laid away by their side to rest till the resurrection mom. . Helen returned home with hose. blie as yet knew nothing of the discovery on her wild lands, and of the good fortune which was about to befall her. Supposing herself still poor and de pendent upon her labors, she, tne next morning after the funeral, announced her intention of ojiee more going out into the world to seek employment. Warren asked her to come with him in the parlor, and when alone lu* said: “ Helen, a few weeks ago we were be trothed in the sight of Heaven, I loved you then, 1 love you ten times more now, but I am for the present going to request that our betrothal vows be sev ered. lam not worthy of you now. Trembling with strange emotions she consented that his proposal be with drawn. “Now,” Warren went on, “ we are free to go where we will, and choose whom we may, are we not?” “ Yes,” she answered, sadly. “When 1 avowed my love and pro posed marriage, you were poor. 1 loved you then. Now you are rich and may desire a husband who is in your own sphere.” “ What do you mean?” she asked. “Do you not remember the wild, waste lands set apart to you?” . “Yes.” “ A miner has discovered a valuable lead and silver mine upon them. He has sent by me a proposition to you to give you one hundred thousand dollars for half the tract,” Helen could hardly believe her ears, yet Warren convinced her of the truth. “ I could not hold you to your be trothal vows made when we were equal. You '-ihfjL -iii*w and can (Sfcwosr my self or whomsoever you may for a hus band.” For an answer she threw her arms about his neck and wept for joy. Mr. Layman, wlm had an eye to business, at once began suit against Judge Arnold for false imprisonment, in the name of his client. The Judge who was alarmed, offered to compro mise the matter by deeding the I*l umber farm back to Helen. When Helen heard of the proceed ings she went to Newton and ordered the suit dismissed, saying: “ I can forgive as I hope to be for given.” Nor would she even take the farm by way of compromise. The Lord had been good to her, and she would per mit the Judge to retain it. Such a noble nature could not fail to be the subject of favorable comment all over Sandy Fork neighborhood. Even Mothers Tartrmn and Grundy sounded her praises as a “good gal.” Warren Stuart sought a location for the practice of his profession in a West ern county, and, after a year’s absence, ho returned to claim his sweet young bride. The wedding was a quiet affair. Our friend, the peddler, was present, lie having insisted upon furnishing the bride the wedding outfit, which was of the finest, he said, all wool with fast colors, not a shoddy thread in ’em.” Rev. Allyn Blaze officiated. Helen had disposed of her mining lands at a fabulous juice to those Western jeoj)ie. The mines only proved fair, though remunerating the purchasers. One more visit to see that the grass and flowers were growing on the graves of those she loved, and then, kissing her many friends adieu, the young bride left Sandy Fork with her husband for their new home, made 1 comfortable by her own wealth and I industry. Pete, the juddler, sometimes roams there in his wanderings, and is always | a welcome guest, He disposes of his j pack invariably at the doctor’s house, I where it is made into clothes lor the people at the poor-house. Our story D finished, and if it should make the burden of even one of those unfortunate girls who work in other people’s kitchens lighter, we shall feel that this story has not been written in vain. [the end.] Women Teachers in France. The new mles promulgated by the educational department in France, pre sent several changes. Women are ad mitted as teachers at the age of seven teen, but men not until eighteen. A very important clause provides that in public schools of every description all instruction is to be given exclusively by laymen. This takes from the clergy their last hold on elementary education, for hitherto they have had the right to nominate in the schools a certain num ber of teachers who were not subject to the regulations under which the Govern ment teachers worked. These teachers were under the direct control, not of the Minister of Education, but of the su perior of the religious society by which they were appointed. lu the new rules, too, the regulations respecting the qualifications of teachers, both pub lic and private, have been made more stringent— X. }'.
