A Mormon, whom we call Bro Nehi Gibons, took a wile at-the bk ino age of 25. He was pious industrious, and seemed to be per: ly satisfied with his bride, w] name was unfortunate for a herc being plain Mary Ann. She was best of wiv"es, and she sang in choir, bore Nelli a child, and hel to Cultivate his vine and fig t Their apricots and pear trees g and flourished, their cattle and sn increased, and notlri -g seemed wi ing in this comfortable establishrn which was the envy of every yoi ful saint. Still, there was a skeldon in closet. Mary Ann had a secret ? a passion. ?She wauled Nelli to t? a second wile ! This was not b because he was ;i good and true m and devoted ami able-bodied, but cause she had .set her mind upon other wife he was to take. M; Ann wanted to provide for her bo.? friend, Susan, who was in every u deserving of Nebia affection, a who loved Nelli as purely and really as Mary Ann herself! Tl: had conferred together about it. i ry Ann, who could iiot. be hap where Susan was- not?-even at Nel -ide-hail broken the subject to -an, and her clearest suspicions w? ion firmed by the secret disci osi "hat Loth the ladies loved the sal saint. Far from feeling indignant at ll frank and forward confidence,-Neb wife received it with delight. S gave her maiden friend every ass rance that their nulluni choice w worthy of their united ambition, ai they set to work to compel Kobi accept another Mrs.GibboUfc It I ing unseemly for Susan to do mo than put nerself as frequently possible in Mr. Gibbon's way, tho p! ripened slowly, and, <a coitferni with one of llie Bishops of the Clini c he recommended both ladies to mal the consummation a subject ol pray?. They lifted up their hearts togetli that it might bo revealed to Ne what good "ifts he '.va.-: neglectin but Nehi i arden ed his heart, and r fused to extend his table cloth. He was ns yet ignorant of the ne helpmate intended for him, but ( tho suggestion of Mrs. Gibbons th he was not. glorifying his manhoc and his family, he said that a pa was enough, and that he had no wii to marry". Under the.se circumstance a little ext renie diplomacy was ai judged necessary, and Airs. Gibbon to compel a' marriage, declared th: her household work was too onerou and finally affected to be grievous] ill. Nehi Gibbons, unable to resi this description of appeal, obeyed tl desire of his wife, Mary Ann, but tl woman he married-was not Susar He was too blind to guess the.perse intended, and he married an entire! different woman. Grave complications ensued upn this-precipitate action of Nehi Gil bons. The peace of his family Wi disturbed, and none the less becaus 'after -the usual period, the secon Mrs. Gibbons had a baby. Mar Ann redoubling her efforts, met wit no other success: 'than that Mr. Gil bons took a third wife, and this tim also it failed to be Susan. The thii effort was more directly made, un with less diplomacy, Mrs. Gibbo: 1 the first suggesting expressly that he choice was her bosom friend ; an the power of candor wa", never f weil attested as on this occasion, fe Mr. Gibbons answered: " Had I thought Susan would hav accepted me, my dear Mary Ann, should have made her my wife befoi I proposed to you !'* Thus piety ann patience wei crowned, friendship was rewarder rmd Susan and Mary Ann being love ly in life, in wedlock were not divider VE^EAXCEOF AXIXDIAX GIRT,. A singular case of jealousy whic recently occurred in Western Tex a; is given in the El Paso JB&rdd. J seems that a man named Chandos, native of Rochester, in England, ha made love to a beautiful half breer sixteen years old. Thc girl waa liai Apachee and half' French.' In add) lion to her great beauty she was in telljgerit, vivacious and as active am alert as an antelope. She was genii and affectionate, and no one suspecte' ; her of possessing the teriible passioi . which jealousy snbsequenfly arousei ! in her bosom. Tho English lover unfortunate!; became acquainted with a white gil named Wilson ho was on a visi from a South State to her friend in Western ' ..<?. Miss Wilson wa beautiful an.i ?eeomplished, and he .. civilized graces proved moro than ? '< match for the barbarous attraction of. the Apachee girl. The result wa ? that Chuudos deserted the ha!f-breer and became engaged to Miss Wilson - The wedding day was set. On hear * ing of the faithlessness of her lover the hitherto undeveloped instincts o her Apachee blood were roused t< all their savage fury in the untutored breast of the belle of the forest. Arming herself with a revolver, she went to the residence of her lover, crept softly to his room and shot him through the heart as he was writing a. note to his betrothed. She was ar rested a few hours afterwards and confined for the night in an old lo? cabin, in default of a prison. But her friends rescued her, and she (led to the wilderness, there to take np her abode with her mother's wild kin dred. A New Lucretia Borgia. . Brief mention was made in a tele gram in Saturday's Notus of the ar rest at New Brunswick, New Jersey, of Mrs. Lydia Sherman, by officers from Connecticut, who charge her with having poisoned at different times three husbands and two step children, the offspring of her last husband by a former marriage. Tho New York papers of Saturday state that this woman married a Jerseyman ?early ten years ago. and, after living with him three years; he died sud denly, and under circumstances which occasioned considerable comment. The second-husband was married in Con necticut, and died under equally sus picious circumstances, but, aS'nothin'g was there known of the former mys terious death, no action .was taken Early in 1870, at Bereft Connecticut, the woman married Nelson H. Sher man, a widower, with two children,' one six, and the other fifteen.years old. Within nine months, these three died, all under the sam? unaccounta ble circumstances. After .the death of the oldest child, which occurred last, Mrs'. Sherman went to New Brunswick' to visit, and went also to Philadelphia. Immediately after she bad-left, succeeding the death of the child, the friends of Mr. Sherman took steps t? investigate the matter, and to that end had the body of Mr. Sherman and those of the' fvo chil dren exhumed.? The officers who came on to make-the arrest state that undeniable evidence of poison was found upon all three of the bodies, and that it was plainly seen in the stomach - of the last burred of the three. Th?y also state that they have boen able to fix upon the alleged murderer" the purchase of poison similar to that of which traces were found. The poison was vegetable and of an' inusual character, thc officers being unable to give its name They were armed with warrants and A requisition from Governor Jewell. The statements of the officers leave no doubt that the woman is guilty ol' one of the most, startling and sensa tional series of crimes that has ever been committed. On being charged with the crime she ga*e no appear ance of guile, and beyond the timide surprise and the assertion of her in nocence; did not seem to be at all affected. ( '.\ LIFOKXIA CHERRIES.-Uncle Neri is a character, a genius, a philos opher. With ;i!I his professional an tipathy lo everything certain, ho is occasionally surprised into an ac knowledgment ?>!' the merits of some thing brought to his notice, lt may be nothing more than 'he cul of a garment, the speed (<i horse, the architectural beauty of a building, or thc quality or size of some specimen of vegetable production ; but he im mediately qualifies his remarks with, " Oh, it does very well for these re gions ; it wouldn't be much in Cali fornia though." .We had some very large, fine cher ries on the table one day last sum mer. Alter surveying them for a moment, Uncle Nod remarked that they beat anything he ever saw, and then there was a snort pause ; " that is to say around here." " Uncle Ned," said I, " you never saw a cherry in California larger than those." " Weil, perhaps I didn't." " Why," said I, " how large are they in California, and how do they sell them? ' " Well," he replied, with all the gravity of a judge, " that depends something,, of course, upon the season of the year. They vary in size as well as in price. They sell them by the pound, and if you only want a few pounds they generally charge about 25 cents a pound; but if you want a whole cherry, they'll let you have it for 15 cents a pound." DRIED UP THE WRONG MAN.-The following is related of one of the brethren of a certain church as hav ing occured a year or two sidle, but for obvious reasons not let mit of the select circle where it has always been a sou' ce ol fun. A gentleman who is much gifted in prayer, and likes to talk of Sunday School, and whom wc v.ill call B., for short, attended an evening prayer. VV'lijle the bell was ringing to hasten up laggards, B. 'improved the opportunity' by send ing an eloquent appeal to the throne of grace. Thinking Ihe bell had been rung enough, another member said very imperiously to one of those small boys who arc always around, in and ont of season, " Go and tell thc fellow to stop." A small boy never did understand anything as h J was told to do it, and this small boy was not likely to stultify himself in that manner. Instead of going to the sex ton and silencing 1 that dreadful bell.' he threaded his way down the aisle, where B, was warming to his work and in a loud hissing voice, saul, " l?eie, jiow, Mr.-says for you to dry up that j" Poor B. blushed a brilliant scarlet, cul off an earnest invocation in the middle of a sen tence,'and all the balance of the eve ning sulked in sullen silence. At the close of the meeting he demanded of the offending member an explanation, which was satisfactorily given, and the 1 unpleasantness' amicably set tled. A Connecticut paper feelingly and sensibly remarks : When Moses got up -flirts to bother the people of Egypt, his head was level. They aro 11 a little t!;c meanest thing, known in science.

SWEET PELE.-There are many rpciDes for aking a sweet pickle of fruit, all ( wljich aro complicated and tediou The following, which : will answi equally for damsons, I pluas, choies, apricots ami peaches, j serves evoi purpose of a Sae flavor ed, handsoe pickle, of good .keening 1 qualities, fd has the nd van tage of giving bu little trouble : Prepare your fruitfi for preserving, stoning it, and tb veu pounds bf fruit take 1 three; andoneifiaH' pounds -of clean brown sugar, onepintof vinegar, and, one ounce each of cinnamon in sticks,/ f I sprig mace and cloves.

Then pour '? the vinegar off again, put it on to i boil, and when hot pour in the fruit j and boil all together until they are j clear and transparent. This does ' just as well as the repeated scaldings usually reccomraended. PEACUES.-To pickle peaches the simplest is the beat way; Take the large Georgia peaches, wipe them with a coarse cloth, fill a jar with them, drop in a small handful bf black pepper, cover all with venegar, cold, and your pickle is made. GRAPES.-Fill a jar with ripe grapes; to.each gallon of ripe grapes add one pound of white sugar. Cover, with cold vinegar. WALNUTS.-Take a peck of wal nuts or butternuts, tender enough to be easily punctured by a-pin ; put them in a jar and pour over them a very strong brine,. boiling hot. In a fortnight they , will have begun to brown considerably, when they should be taken out' drained ahd laid in the san until they ' turn blade. Restore them to the clean jar, and, having boiled two gallons of vinegar with two ounces each *,of all-spice, cloves and whole, grains of black pepper, and a little mace, pour this spiced vinegar hot over them. After six months an excellent catsup may be made of this pickle, by mashing the walnuts (which have become soft), boiling them in-the vinegar, and straining.all through a sieve. This will keep many years, and is very tine for eating with iish. CATSUP.-For ordinary purposes the most useful capsup is that made from tomatoes.

The' result of his experience, which we will give in his own words, is of unspeakable importance to the material interests d' the cotton grow ing country, placing us above and be yond the necessities and annoyances ot' our present system of labor. His account of his success which is far beyond his most sanguine .ex pectations, is largely vouched for, and is as follows : " I lost a large amount of money in 1806, tho year succeeding the sur render, in my farming operations and despaired, almost, of the future of the cotton section, in the many sleep less nights I passed thinking over my. own affairs and what the future hs.d in store for myself and neighbors, whose dependence for existence rest ed solely upon agricultural produc tions, of which the culture of cotton vas the chiefest, the main stay, in fact, of the cotton States, the founda tion upon which was Built all they enjoyed of prosperity in manufactu ring, in banking, in merchandizing, in all that went to make up the sum of their varied industries and inter ests, threatened, as those interests seemed to be, about to' suffer extinc tion by a system of labor that made ?the cost of production of the cotton crop greater than the value of the article produced. By inspiration, for it could have been nothing el-'e. ii, 'occurred to me that could the annual "killing ot the plant by frost be pre vented th? plant might become a Atc -a fruitful, ever-bearing tree. "Success has exceeded my most sanguine expectations, my wildest dreams. I will tell you.exactly how I proceeded and describe the result. In tho.spring of J.8?J I selected a spot, of ground, about 40 feet square, planted tn tire centre ai cotton seed, tended it carefully ; ?ill September I built abant it a pen'some eight feet, square and coveredit'With glass1, kept a trherrnotueter in it, and by the aid of a small stove, kept life ami growth in the plVtnt until 'May of lSb8, afc a'tnvFiich time I removed the pen. During'the summer of '68 my plant grew till it became .a small tree. In tile fall bf the year I picked 800 pounds, of seed cotton from it and built another pen on tlie same plan, tut larger than the first ; followed the same process through the winter and again removed my pen in thc spring of '69. That year I picked from what was then a tree, cotton that made a bale of 476 pounds. The tr.ee. had now grown sp largs that { deemed it safe from frost, and in the winter of '69 and 70 I left it^npro tected.

John Quincy Adams. Some short time since Mr. J. Trezevant, editor of the Augus [Arkansas) BulkUn, wrote a lett to Hon. John Quincy Adams, of- M? ?achusetts, upon political matters, e pressing, among other things, the a prehension that, as he puts it, ? wi! arant's yaet patronage, most unser juloualy used, he would not yield tl Presidential chair, even if. defeat?

And, with me ; would doubtless hav^becn as it ha* een with you, that ,: the tender mer les of reconstruction had been "bard r to bear- than all the horrors . of in asive war." . I should have . been ailed by misgovernment, robbed by nported knavery of the pittance .hich the war had spared, exuSpera ?d by wilful and persistent misrep ssentation, and cruelly condemned ^hopeless impotence for the imputed nilt of cowardly crimes I abhorred, should haye boen condemned, too ) hold my personal liberty at the "d of a mercenary.carpet-bagger .or ie whim of a military satrap.

In ?such a caee I link I should be sulky, but I know should be silly if I yielded to the ?eling, for whence must my relief ame if my last estate is not to be ame worse than the first ?

' ? s ' Cumulative Voting. j A perplexed candidato for office in Maine attempted once' to get out ol' a dilemma by declaring that he was in favor of the Maine Liquor Law, brit, opposed to its- enforcement. Wo oc cupy similar ground on the question pf'cumulative voting. Wo are inj .favor of that mode, of gathering the j suffrage? of the-people," but we are. opposed to employing that-mode here ! and now. If. it were in use in Rich- j mond, at least two members of tho j House of Delegates would next fall j be chosen by the negroes; and. we , are not anxious that they . should ] choose even one. But the worst re-! suit of the system in the South would bc that it would render the negroes perfectly independent of th?- whites j even of their own party, and enable j them to elect persons of their own ! race, to every office or position of trust j* in proportion to their numbers. They could in Richmond choose at. least! thirteen out of the thirty members of ? ? the City Council,' and .thi* without L: consulting the wishes. or- whims'of Pori er, Humphreys, or any' other j: white Radical, 'jyt cresent the ne groes are governed by :heir white associates, since they are io a minori ty,'^ and can succeed only bf having white associ?tes enough to convert rheir minority into a majority. But' adopt the system of cumulative-vo ting, and they could, snap their fin gers at the carpet-baggers *iid scala wags, and choose negroes to repre sent them in tho City Council and the State L?gislature in exact pro portion to their voting strength. Richmond (Va.) D'ispaten. A few weeks ago Henry B?sch, aged 22 years, of No. 101 Forsyth street, was stung by a fly on the neck and in a little time the wound had developed into a painful tumor, the insect probably li ving been feasting on some poisonous substance. An abscess was formed, and he was at leng'h admitted ro Bellevue Hosp i t il cn the 5th instant, suffering from alt the symptom? of blood poisoning, ile was very restless and could with difficulty'be subjected' to the proper treatment for the cure of'/ii ?3 disease, uri Wednesday night he managed to steal from hi's w.i rd, and wy means of a sheet, climbed from the veran dah to the ground; and then overfhe outer wall. Yesterday morning' he was found by a night watchman sit ting on thc pier at the foot of Twen ty-sixth street, gazing absently into the water as if contemplating -self destruction..'

All will do well' to heed this testimony of a farmer who has known how hurd to struggle for a footing on ?i free soil without capital is, and how valuable and comparatively" cheap are the aids which good reading brings to hiui.
