THE POWER oF Conscience. —One day, during August, ‘of 1851, a Tespectible farmer pamed Watts, living near From, in England, went to market, leaving his daughter Sarrah —a pretty girl of plxteen—to mind the house. Upon his return howe, he fonnd the helpless girl lying dead~in-the dairy, ‘with s#veral abrasions on her head, and other evidenevs that sbe had been foully. murdered. Aa nothing had been stolen trom the house, apparently, it was hard to imagine what had instigated the ussassin to comunit the brutal guiltyone. Three vagabond characters of . . Frome and-the-vieinity— were arrested wpon the mere ground of their being such characters, und were committed for trial; «but the jury acquitted them, there being no reliable proof of any kind to fasten proot on them. Arrangements were next iade-to arrest & man namel Joseph Sears, who had. been a suitor for the girl's hand; but he left:the writ could be served upon him ; and so the matter ended for the. time. Ten years roll. ed away’; and eve day about two we eks ago, Joseph Sears returned -to Frome an invalid He weit to a magistrate’s-to-get his remit tance form filled up,that he might draw three months’ pay due to himeon his discharge from the urmy, and exhibited 80 matiy signs of extreme unireppiness while the magistrate-was prepariag the document, that the latter asked him what was the matter. Sears hesitated fur a moment, and then with an expression of fwartul wildness in his eyes, declared that he was the murderer of Sarah Thinking thut the soldier must be mad, the man‘of law , gnde ‘avored te soothe him, telling him that 6° did not know what he was saying. Sears then repeated his former avowal, declaring that cougciousness of his crime would indeed make a madmatfof hin, if he coneenled it any longer. Finding that he wis sane, and ia earnest, the magistrate ordered his clerk to take down in writing what the soldier might say, and Seuss at onee made the following confession +.“ matdered Sarah Watts, I hope that God above .will let me live to see her again in another world. Ihave had it in my head a long time. I have been very unhappy ever since. I went away, I waise unhappy. I hope that Gdd will wash aw: ay my sins. I did it for love. It.was in August it hapened. About three o’clock in the afternoon went to the house. I thought she was worth some money, and she Wouldn't tell where -it:was.._I.told her to tell me where it was, and’t would marry. her and take her to America—I was very fond of ber—then we would live happy together said, 4 you don’t tell” we where itis, I willbe the deuth of you” I then took hold of her by the neck. I had a poker in my has, and 1 hit her on the head with it. I said £ should suffer fer it, either in heaven orin hell. J struck her in the Kitchen and dragged her into the dairy. I eaught hold of her by the feet, and put her head first.into the milk pail, and lett her in the dairy dead. I took two shillings out of & cup on the mantel piece, .1 went up stairs and searched above. [ took some clothes and went my way.andwent to sea. IT was blamed for it at.the time, and I enlisted as a soldier to get out of the way. Ihave now got it off my mind. I killed ber for leve. FE was very fond of her.” After reading the confession over, to see that 1t was correct, Sears signed his name to it and surpendered himself a prisoner to the law.— Exchange. ~— DISAPPOINTMENT AND Success:—When poor Bdwund’Kean was scting in barns to ecuntry bumpkins, borely finding bread for his wife and child, he wus just as great a ge“hius us. when he was crowding Drury Lane.
