Mil. II. R. Stevens :
I)ear Sir. I wish to give voti this testimony,
that you may know what YcKetine has done
for me. About two years ai;o a small sore
came on my le : it soon became a larjje L'lcer,
so trouble some that I consulted the doctor,
but I jrot no relief, jrrowin worse from day to
day. 1 suffered terribly ; 1 could not rest day
or night ; I was so reduced my friends thought
I would never recover ; I consulted a doctor at
Columbus, 1 followed liis advice : it did no
Rood. I can truly say I was discouraged. At
ttiie time I was looking over my newspaper : 1
aw voiir advertisement of Vegetine, the
"tireat I'.lood Purifier" for cleansing the blood
from all impurities, curing Humors, Fleers. &c.
1 said to my family, I will try some of the Vej;
etine. Pefore 1 had used the first bottle 1 be
gun to feel better. I made ui my mind I had
not the richt medicine at last. I could now
deep well nights. I continued taking the Yeg
etiue. I took thirteen bottles. My health is
good. The Fleer is gone, mid I am able to at
tend to my business. I paid about four hun
dred dollars for medicine and doctors before I
bought the vegctine. 1 have recommended
Yegetine to others with good success. I al
wayH keep a bottle of it in the house now. It
is a. moet excellent medicine.
Very respectif ully yours,
F. AXTIIONl

Dr. Stevens :
Dear Sir,- I feel it my duty to say one word
in regard to the great benefit I have received
from the use of one of the greatest wonders of
the world ; It is your Vcgeline. I have been
one of the greatest sufferers for the hist eight
years that ever could be living. 1 do sincerely
thank my Cod and your Vegctine for the relief
I have got. The Wit itinni.nii has pained me to
such an extent, that my feet broke out in sores.
For the last three years 1 haye not been able to
walk ; now I can walk and sleep, and do my
work as well as ever 1 did, and I nn.st say I owe
it ali to your blood purifier, Vegctine.
VeiikI ink. '1 he great success of the Veoe
tin k as a cleanser and purifier of the blood is
shown beyond a doubt by the great numbers
who have" taken it, and received immediate re

The light In the sky
Is never so golden, my darling.
As when thMU art nigh.
The tender wild Mowers uro spring-in?
All ov er the earth;
And birds in the woodlands are singiuj
With musical mirth.
But over my spirit is brooding
A sorrow to-day:
The thought is forever intruding
That thou art away.
I miss thee, I miss theo. my darling-.
U he bright sprinn is here;
But not half so welcomed, my darling.
As when thou wert uoar.
With Mushes, as rosy ns morning-.
The peach blossoms glow;
The wild plum lier brow is adorning-
With buds, white as snow.
The bees o'er the sweet-scented flowers
Delightedly stray:
Biit dreary to me are the hours.
For thou art away.
I nites the-", I miss theo, beloved.
The genial sunshine
Is filling nil spirits, beloved.
With gl idncss. but mine.
The zephyr's light pinions are shaking

And purple-eyed violets waking
Wherever they pasi.
The tuitle-dove coos to her lover.
And chides bis de lay;

F.Y M. II. MALTP.Y.
Thorite RIake lirvl been plowinc; corn
one sultry nftn..on in the1 early part
of July, had K-fi iiis team standing in
the Held, and vas a', the well for a
drink of wa'er, when he heard his six
j ear old daughter shrieking, in angry
tones:
"1 won't! I won't! Don't! don't!
Oh, I wish my papa was here! '
The p. culiar etnpli isis which charac
terised the uttentnee of this s ntence
caused the fattier to loose his hand from
the crank with which he had lifted a
intcket of water half way tip th? well,
an 1 a luinule later he ha 1 passed
through the kitchen and stood facing
the half open door at the entrance from
the hall to the sitting room.
A lady, perhaps t'.irty-livc years of
age, with f-umiy ringlets flowing over
tier shoulders, and jtis: enough of an
angry llush upon her chee" to heighten
the le;mly of her fair complexion, was
standing in t e cenfto of the room.
In her small white hands she held a
bitlt of yarn jind a large nt edle, thread
ed with coarse scarlet silk.
Fa ing her, and baci-.ed c'o ely into
(hecotneiof the apartment, beating
the air with her hands, as though to
keep bick the mot! er, stood the child
whose pleading cries were resounding
through the building.
I'nob.st. rved, yet where ho h ul a full
v"ew of mother and child, stood the
father, with arms folded across his
br ast and head sjiglitly bowed; a tall,
tla;k comjilexioned man, in shirt
sleeves and tan colored pantaloons,
his hands a- d face be.'rim:i;ed with
perspiration and t' e dust of the corn
lield, whi'e the eyes that gleamed so
steadily, yet so mildly from under the
thoughtful biow, the model head and
harmonious bearing indicated a fixed
ness of put pose that bespoke the man
a monarch, while at the same time it
wtis a warranty to any observer, that
tyranny could never flourish under this
monarch's rule.
As he stood watching his wife and
child, there wsis visible upon lis fea
tures an expression of pain, so:rewhat
subdued by a smile, that momentarily
alternated with a frown, as the devel
opments of the scene he was contem
plating proceeded.
"Now don't yell again, you little
goosel You'll alarm the wliol neigh
borhood. Jt won't hurt but just the
least lilt e minute, and tfi 11 you can
wear those splendid ear-rings that unc le
Will gave you to wear at Essie F inn s
party," said the mother, advancing a
step or two towards tt:e child.
Another shriek, accompanied by a
spiteful stamp of the little foot, and an
exclamation of
"I won't! Oh,I won't! Inever will!
I won't l ave "em in my ears at all, and
I don't want to go to Essie Flinn's
party."
"Stint up, or I'll pound you. It's
enough to spoil the 'patience of Job,' to
have you act as you do. I invited those
little town girls out here to stay a week
witli you, so you could see what nice
maune.s they had, and try and act as
they do; but you behaved so badly that
tl ey got homesick in two days. You're
a great, course, ungainly gawk, ai.d
you ought to be sent into the woods to
live with the bears, for you can't be
cultivated at all, and I never'll invite
any mote ch;:dten here. Fin wholly
ashamed of you!'
"1 don't w ant tiny more town children
invited here. I've had nothing nice
since they came. You made the girl
spoil my room, fixing it up for them.
She threw away all my nice little geol
ogy stone-i that papa said I miht keep
so that he could teach me about them
when 1 gel older, and all my speckled
egg shells, and the crimply crumpiy
mouses that 1 got from the woods; and
my little gourd shelLj with the ferns
growing in 'em; and the clam shells
full of go d and silver fish scales that
were on my little shelf; and she took
down all the vials of water where I had
put Lave-for-ever, acd Giii-go-over-ths-
ground, and Snow-on-the-mountain, to
grow. Ti.en she took mylt'artralg-; tail
fan, that grandmother Llake sent me,
down from under the looking gla.-s,
where I put it to look nice, und threw
it up on the garret. And she's put up
a great big white window curtain that
looks just like dead folkses clothes
'taint half so pretty as the old flowery
one that was there and and wh en 1
cried and scolded her, she said she
wanted to make th-j room look city
ed.' And now I've no pretty house
any more, only my play house on the
rock over the creek by the pine tree;
and when the girls were here they didn't
want to play anything pretty, and said
their ma's said they mustn't get their
clothes dirty. I wanted "em to go up
where the sassafras grows, but we had
to cross a little wee bit of a wet place,
and they were afraid of spoiling their
shoes. I took mine off so you wouldn't
scold me, but they said their ma's
wouldn't let 'em go bare feeted; and
when we went up the path to the play
house Essie's ear-ring caught in the
bushes, cause she was carrying her hat
l;ep it from ge.tig mussed; and it was
just all Maggie and I could do to get
her loose; and her ear was hint till
it bleeded; and she cried and said she
wished she hadn't come; find that
she thought that the country
was an awful bad place. And
Maggie tore I er white sipron, and said
her ma'd s oid her when she went
home. I think it's jut mean, t bi a
girl; you can"t g nowhere you wani to
cause you have to wear nice clothes.
Why couldn't 1 have I ecu Fliny or
Frank? then I could have worked out
doors with papa, and drove the nice
horses; now you want me to dress up,
so that I can t make tin; kitten swim;
and you want to put rings in my ears
so that 1 can't g -t through the bushes'.
The angry tones which al first char
acterized the utterance of the child be
came more and morn subdued as the
recital of her grievances proceeded, be
coming, at length, piteous pleadings;
the closing sentence, like that of many
a grown up child, being accompanied
by a gush of tears.
The stronger individuality of the
child had triumphed. The angry Hush
had faded from the face of the weak
minded mother, and in subdued tones
she said:
"MoHie, you will be the death of me.
You never was like other children.
Rut go now Jind tell Eiz to dress you in
your pink gingham, your milled white
apron, and drab gaiters; and .see, now,
that you keep 'em clean, for 1 cxp ct
the Clinch family carriages had driven
out of sunt, Mr. Blake crossed the
bridge over the creek, some twenty
make me Le dressed I won't 1 e seen at
all. I'll stay all the whib in my play
house till the (hiuchs' are gone; and "
The door was pushed widely open,
and as the father stepped quickly into
the apartment, the unfinished senten e
was superseded by "Oh, my papa!" its
the child sprang forward and clasped
his hand tightly in both of hers; then
continuing:
"Flease, papa, coax mamma to let me
go to my play hou&?, and not dress me
up!"
At this exclamation the angry Hush
again mounted the mother's cheek, stud
averting her f.ice from her bust and she
said, harshly:
"Well, go t your play-house, and
don't come in my sight again to-day."'
The chil l sprang to the door, ex
claiming: "Thank you, mamma! Good bye,
pipa!" and as Mrs. Blake caught a
glimpse of the ironical smile upon her
husband's face, she said:
"That young one ou zht to have been

but in the woods. She cannot be cul
tivated." "And so l.mg as you continue to
drive her out of t'-e house you must ex
pect her to run wild. Mary, young as
she is, is a stude; t of nature, h'lie ab
hors deception and fraud, an 1 every
kind of sham. You are continually
forcing upon her a c tie of behaviour
which her intuitiveness repudiates, be
cause it is false," replied Mr. Blake.
"And you would have me d; ess her
like a Leggar, and let her run in the
sun till she is as black as a siiuaw, and
coarse ns our boys. Mr. Blake, it's
your fault that she acts a.s she does. 1
would have pound d her stuLbornnrss
out of her long ago if you had not in
terfered. Xow s' e will always be a
great coarse country gawky, and I will
always be ashamed of her,"' was the
pettish reply.
"Mrs. Blake," replied tin husband,
with positive emphasis, "our boys are
not coarse; they are gentlemenly and
well behaved much more so than the
boys belonging to those families, the
girls of which you set before our
daughter as models of manners.
"I am a farmer, work hard and pay
my debts. You keep servants to do
jour house work, and you dress like a
lady of fortune. 1 am w lling you
should, because this is adapted to y.-nr
taste. But, can you not command the
dignity which rightfully belongs to you
as a partner in, and mistress of, this
home? And can you not teach our
children that they are by birt'i right
ladies aud gentlemen, and that to ape
the style and manners of persons, or
classes, is unworthy of true men and
women."

Echoes From Albany.
Deai: IIekald: One afternoon in
the closing days of May last, ere the
City of Flattsmouth had lapsed into
slumbering stillness from the tumult
of High School exhibition, a person of
tired brain, but bright expectations,
was observed hastening along Main
St., to take the train which stood wait
ing on the track. The familiar " ding!
dong!''of tho engine bell, the presenta
tion of farewell bouquets and the
friendly shake of the hand, then all
were left behind. A rattling along the
bluffs, and a crossing old Missouri's
muddy stream announced tho depart
of a teacher of '73.
Two months have passed away;
broad find rich praries lie between the
teacher and the duties and associa
tions of the days spent in Flattsmouth.
The " lost opportunities" of teaching
the" young idea" have succeeded them
selves by tho delightful exp rier.ces of
vacation in the East. But 'mid pleas
ures and palaces when'er he has roam
eJ, the IIekald still comes to him a
bright message from home. And to
day as it wings its way from afar and
settles like a true Plattimouth bird in
this city of the Empire State, it calls
up fresh memories of the p:i:;t and
brings with it, welcome news of the
present. Xow friend IIep.ald, sup
pose you step aboard one of the mag
nificent floating palaces that ply be
tween Albany and New York, and
accompany this person as he leaves
this quaint old city for a trip to the
Metropolis. You sit on deck, and as
you leave the spires of Albany in the
distanee, you make excursion: from
fore to aft, and find a magnificent pan
orama spread before you.
You are approaching Hudson, on the
opposite side from which, Church,
the Artist, has made himself a home;
and surely no fitter place for a student
of nature could be found. Xow your
attention is taken by a bluepiieon the
southern horizen which you know to
be the first faintly visible outlines of
Catskill. X'earer and nearer you ap
proach and they loom up higher and
higher before you until they attain an
altiiudeof over five thousand feet.
These mountains were called by the
Indians the mountains of the Sky, ami
here, according to Indian belief, was
kept the treasury of storm and sun
shine. Fast New Flafz, Ilyder Fark,
onward you glide till you draw near
Foughkeepsie, where is located Vassar
College. It is a thriving city, and be
ing a thriving city, and being promme
nently and beautifully located, is call
ed, the Queen City of the Hudson.
Passing towns and villages innu
merable, you wind into the Highlands.
Beautiful, grand, majestic Highlands!
Storm King the highest point of the
Highlands, meets your gaze. It was
named by X. F. Willis whoso country
home of "Idlewild" is situated upon
its northern terrace. Beyond this
comes Old Cro' nest, a rocky, precipi
tous mountain, near fifteen thousand
feet high. It is the scene of Rodman
Drake's "Culprit Fay."
Turning abend in the river, you are
in full view of West Point. West
Point takes much of the travelors at
tention. It is the most commanding
point on the Hudson. Then are the
Military academy, the Parade Ground
and Barracks, mostly visible from the
river.
Opposite the Point is Constitution
Island, where may be discovered glimp
ses of the cottage home of Mrs. Warn
er, authoress of "The "Wide Wide
World." On tho southern slope is
Undercliff" the home of the late Geo.
P. Morris. A little beyond is a very
pretty little island called Iona, nestled
among the hills, it is a favorite pic-nic
spot for parties from Xew York.
Opposite you see a bold projection
rising one thousand eight hundred feet
high, which is known as Authony's
nose. Erving's History of Xew York
tells how it was named. Rounding
Anthony's nose, you ste sugar loaf
mountain. Looking opposite are Fort
Montgomery and Fort Clinton of Rev
olutionary fame. You find yourself
next Kidd's Point. It is famous in
history by its associations with Capt.
Kidd. the pirate, and it is here that
his ship is supposed to have been lost
with its immense treasure.
You are now in full view of Peeks
kill so named by one Jans Peek a
Dutch Skipper. In 17f7. Peekskill
was the head quarters of Israel Put
man. There is the summer home of
Henry Ward Beecher. Passing on you
see a sharp, stony bluff extending out
into the river. History tells that
that Gen. "Wayne in July 1770 with a
company of picked men, scaled this
cliff at midnight and captured the
British garrison entire. Looking to
! IIIB ffll, join r" m -i t iv- . - n -- 1
of Joshin Smith. The ho.-f Mill
stands plainly visible. Sing sing next
comes in view, its principal obji ct id"
interest being the State Prison, .lu.st
before you reach Tarn town you see
the pretty village of Irvington iii hon
or of Washington Irving w ho had his
residence named Sunnyside. This is
the identical " Wolfert's Roo.it." A
little above is the far fumed Sleepy
Hollow, haunted of old by the hca.lh ss
horseman pursuing Ichabod Crane' the
luckless suitor of Katrina Van Passel.
The old Dutch church still stands
in the valley and in Us peaceful church
yard Washington Irving lies buritd.
Before you rise the majestic Pal.isadcs
of basaltic formation. The highest
point "Indian Head" rises five hundred
and fifty feet. On a picturesque ; dope
opposite, you -see the Convent and
Academy of Mount St. Vincent, one
of the most imposing edifices on the
Hudson. Passing Spuyteu Duyvel and
Washington Heights, which w;.s at
one time the home of Audubon the
Xaturalist, you como to Heights of
Hoboken histot icallp remembered as
tho place where was fought the dia l
between Hamilton and Burr.
Delighted with tho view." you hao
seen, you close j our eyes in order to
paint them more intelliblo upon the
tablet of memory. The shrill whistle
of harbor steamers causes you to open
them to awake from your mind
painting, when you realize that you
are passing al:n..:t numberless wharves
crowded with shipping from all parts
of the world. You exclaim, Xew
York at last, after eight hours of trav
el through scenery unsurpas.-.cd in
America. The boat steams into her
dock; the call of tickets, :md yu:i are
finally jostled by the crowd into the
London ol Ann 1 ic.i.

h.tve taken (lie nece ;s a.. : ;-s

pany, its grant was an independ-.-ut
one, not mud"! by refcrance to the
third section of the. act of IS-"..', an 1
hence not subject to the provisions of
said sect-ion. The question was be
fore Judge Dillon, of the United States
Circuit Court who decided it as fol
lows: "After a careful consid' ration of th"
language of sections is, l't, and - I of
the act of ISO:), upon which the rights
of the Burlington Company rest, and a
comparison of it with the language
used in respect to tho main company
and its branches, my judgment is that
t lie grant to the Burlington Company
is an independent grant , not made, by
referring to the grants to the, other
companies, and therefore, that section
i of the act of lSi;, whatever may b,
its scope? and effect, has no application
to the Burlington Company. This
last road was not a part of the origi
nal schemes; it was to have no gov
ernment bonds, aud was simply aided,
as many other roads in Iowa. Wi-con-sin,
Minnesota, ami other States, have
been by a grant of public lands."
See .'!d Dillon, page old and ol7.
The act of ISfil, by w hich the B. cl
M. acquires its land grant, was an
amendment to the original act of lsi;-.',
as it w;is held by some that the third
section of the original act applied to
this amendment. Judge Dillon, how
ever, decides very clearly that it does
not.

Xi-:w Yop.k, August , ."5 a. in. The
raid on Granger stocks was resumed
yesterday morning, and the heavy fall
of rain seemed to stimulate the b -ars,
and depress sellers correspondingly.
The market was lively throughout and
sales on change were conducted in tia
usual frantic manner. Tho wildest
rumors were afloat about the impend
ing catastrophies, dreadful failures,
and the like. One report said that
Jay Gould was irrctreival.ly ruined,
but where it came from or how it orig
inated could not be traced. Persons
who professed to know were positive
as to Jay Gould's being long on the
Western Union and Lake Shore an 1
short on the Granger stocks. Disinter
ested brokers were certain, at any rate
that Gould's brokers were throwing
over Xorthwestern common stock as
rapidly as possible. From all reports
about Jay Gould's embarressmet, it
would be inferred that he was liable
to flatten out as easily as the most or
dinary sidewalk speculation.
