bradley appeafipg against him, and
sentenced, 70 be transported for life,
q priyate iptiraation being at the
time conveyed to Mr.. Bradley that,
ia consequence OF his tender years.
the sentence would not be rigorously
enforced, but he wonld be separated
from his tribe, taught some honest
trade, aud if his conduct merited it
at q future day.. receive a pardon.
The mother considered Mr.. Brad.
ley as the author of her misery, and
vowed the most bitter vengeance
against him, which, however. was
little needed. The gypsies almost
immediately afterwards removed
from the neighborhood, and nothing
further was heard of them.
The circumstance was altopether
forgotten, for, in fact, it had been
scarcely thought of, save by the
mother, and the farmers again felt
that their poultry yards were safe
from the intruders.
Mrs. Bradley was, one summers
day, shortly after this, playing with
her child on the lawn before the
house, looking ut it with mothers
fondness, rs it tumbled upon the
grass. when her attention was called
to something taking place in the
house, and she left the child for
few minutes to itself. On her re-
turn to the lawn, which was almost
imm ediately, to her great surprise,
the little girl was no where to be
seen; she thought, at first, it might
have strayed into the plantations,
and these she examined in the most
rigid manner; but without finding
the object of her search, and despite
the persevering and almost unceasipg
efforts that were made to discover
whittier it could have wandered. no
clue could be found to afford the
least hope.
Rewards were offered by the dis
tracted parents to those who could
give any information that might lead
to its discovery, but in vain, for no
one came to claim them, and all the
endenvors Of the servants and neigh
bors, persevered in for many days.
were fruitless, for the child was never
found.
Neither Mr.. Bradley, nor his wife,
from that time ever regained their
usual state of mind, they had no
other children to reconcile them to
their loss, and were ever recurring to
their pretty Jane" thinking wheth-
er it were dead or living, and, if
alive, what might be its fate. The
cause, or means, of its disappearance
remained altogether n mvstarv Mr.
Bradley, i'll addition to his grief, at
finding himself childless, saw, with
sorrow, that his wife was ever accus-
ing herself for the loss of her child,
and but for her negligence, it might
still have been with her. It was in
vain he strove to console her, and
showed that she was not to blame; it
preyed daily and hourly on her
spirits. and though she felt his kind
ness in framing excuses, she could
not forgive herself.

Hon. +. +. Woodbridge.

We have seen it stated in some Vermont
paper that there were efforts being made in the
district now ably represented in Congress by
the gentleman whose name stands at the head
of this article to supplant him by the nomi.
nation Of some new man.
We allude to this subject here and now for a
particular purpose, and not so much on Mr..
Woodbridgc's accosnt; for we have exchange
ed no word with him, and have no means of
knowing whether he is really DESTROYS to be
returned or not 1t does seem to us, howev-
Grand this is the point that we desire to
make-that this displaying of thoroughly
competent and useful man upon the ground
that somebody else, or some man in another
portion of the district wants, or is entitled TO,
the place, is neither wise nor judicous. This
notion is predicated upon the principle that
offices are created for men and not for the
State, aud that wise, capable, intelligent
legislator must be turned aside to make room
for some new conner because he desires the
place, and thinks it his turn, and is satisfied
that il belongs to his county
We have watched Congress for many years,
and we state what we know, aud what obser,
yation and experience has taught US, that
able and judicicus Legislators are not made in
a day.
Though we have selected Mr. Woodbridge's
name as the caption of this article, we intend
ed to discuss a principle, rather than to dwell
upon the personal and statesmanlike eharac-
teristics Of the man himself.
Mr.. Woodbridge has been in Congress for
several years, and all the while has been stead
lily rising, and now stands among the foremost
men in the House. He has gained this posi-
tion by his own talents, worth, industry, and
good sense. The loss of such man, in these
times, from the national halls of legislation,
can be lily afforded, either by his district or
by the nation.
Mr. Woodbridge is a very efficient and use
iul member Of the Judiciary Committee, and
also of other important committees He is
more of aworker than speaker, though he
sometimes addresses the House, hut he never
speaks unless he has something TO say He
is, as a speaker, always fluent clear, and CO.
gent, not unirequently eloquent, and iuyaria-
bly, commands the attention of the House.
He is sound Republican, wise and exper-
fenced legislator, and an honest man. We
trust that his district will return him, both
for their sake and the good of the country.

BERLIN, July IL, loOo.
There are two men in Gemauy--not in the
territory comprising what is called the North
German Confederation, but on the original, IN
habited by the German race, and to which
Austria proper belongs by right--two men
who are intended by Providence to carry out
the principles Of reform to which aspires that
intellectual nation which has long suffered I'M
der the rule Of tyranncal despots. II true,
they are both servants Of monarchs, who with
their dynasty have forever had the mainte-
nance of their power, more at heart than the
happiness Of the subjects over which they
ruled But these monarchs were compelled
by the spirit of the age to give way to re.
forms and to the imperative will Of the ma
tions, or to lose their crowns for themselves
land their descendants for all times.
Prussia was destined to take the lead in
these reforms, and Bsmark has shown his
ability in craftsmanship by teaching his King
how to give way to the demands Of the people
without the loss Of his prestige as the crowned
head Of the nation, and by showing the nation
how reforms can be carried out in a civilized
State without sanguinary conflicts and civil
