While WILLIAM d. SEWARD was pursuing his
course Of study at Union College, Schenectady, N
Y, he became greatly enamored Of young lady,
who was then the reigning belle Of the city. At
tending the same college was a young man, Of
wealthy parents, by the name Of Chevalier " no
was also greatly in love with the same lady.


Seward at that time had little to boast of in the
way of wealth, and although a young man Of
marked ability, he could not vie with young Chov-
alier, whose parents supplied him with all the
money he desired The young lady preferred Sew.
ard but her parents preferred wealth and she soon
became Mrs. Chevalier.


But alas for human hopes How often are we
doomed to disappointment ? Hardly were the
happy couple united, when both parents utterly
failed the bright dreams Of wealth vanished, and


life in all its stern reality of earnest toll was upon
them. Unacoustomed to labor, ignorant of the
most common afairs of life, they were as helpless
as children. Chevalier tried various employments
that would all into use his education. He failed
as a clerk; he could not teach his education ap-
pearcd of no value to him whatever and what lit
tie he did earn his wife laid out in gewg gaws, and
few years found them occupying mi erable un-
derground rOom and CheValier saving wood from
door to door, around the streets of Schenectady


In due time Seward graduated with honor, and
commenced his useful career. Step by step no
forced his way up from obscurity; fortune smiled
on his efforts, because he possessed the power Of
adaptation, and knew how to suit himself to cir
oumstanoes. Soon he found himself honOred by
the people, and placed at the head Of the govern
ment of the Empire State. But through ell his
prosperity he could not forget the object of his
early love- Whenever business or pleasure called
him to Schenectady, he never failed to seek out the
abode of Mrs. Chevalier; and many a substantial
token, in the shape of ar ticlo of luxury for
The table, rticle of wearing Appara bore testi-
mony of the sincerity of his friendship for the
fortunate lady who possessed his hearts best
affections.


We think the above reminiscence never appeared
in print before; and as personally acquainted
with Mr.. Chevalier, We can vouch for its authen-
ticty.

A NICE MAN.-Once upon a time John
SWEET, then at the head of school affairs in
this State, was reported to have drank q
glass of wine. while on tour through the
northern portion of California, whereupon
the rebel press set up fearful howl of
condemnation. But SWEET is not q Metho-

South:


In this town whisky has got the inside
track, and every good man should use his
utmost endeavors to induce men to become
temperate. Many family in this place
feels the curse of whisky. and we are not
surprised that such is the case from the
number of whisky mills along each side of
Main street. Rev. o. P. Fitzgerald, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction. came
here last week to the Teachers Institute.
The next day after his arrival he went into
certain rum-hole in this town with a
crowd of men and with them drank at the
bari This for Methodist minister, and
man who holds the position he does in our
educational department, is enough to pro.
yoke the contempt of every decent man. We
do mot care whether Fitzgerald guzzles
whisky at home or not, but considering the
hold whisky has on this town at present, we
decidedly object to his coming to Watsonville
and taking it publicly, with crowd, in

INoossIsIENr.-The Democratic leaders in
the North are laboring very hard to, prove
that Seymour favored vigorous prosecution
of the war FOR the Union. On the other hand,
the Democrats of the South proclaim that he
was opposed to the war. In speech at
Louisville, Kentucky, few days ago, Garret
Davis said of Seymour:


He never gave any aid or support to the
Government in prosecuting the war, when it
could be avoided. True. be sent troops to
Pennsylvania in 1868, but it was because he
was unable to do otherwise. He was forced
to send out soldiers by the Government, but
his sympathies were with the South


The Southern Democrats are correct
Seymour never aided the Government when
he could avoid it, and his sympathies were
always with the rebels.

REPUDIATED.--A we'll known and life long
Democrat of this county, in the course of a
conversation With us on Monday, stated that
it. was his deliberate intention not to vote for
seymour and Blair. We replied that he
would perhaps come to different conclusion
before election day. He replied that his
mind was fully made up, and that he had
arrived-at this conclusion after mature re-
Election. Said he: Seymour and Blair
were not the choice of any respectable num-
Der of the Democratic party, and they only
obtained the nomination by thwarting the
expressed will of at least two thirds of the
party. In order to do this they resorted to
low wire pulling, fraud and bribery, as
honestly believe. Seymour, Belmont, and
their clique of professional political specula-
tors ruled the Convention, and the voice of
the people was smothered under their fraud
and gold. To support him would be direc,
bid for similar frauds in future, and, for one,
I'm for nipping the curse in the bud, and
showing wire-pullers that they cannot drive
the people to do anything which their .judg-
Tent condemns. In this opinion and deter
mination I'm not alone, but several of my
neighbors also believe that endorsing wrong
and fraud will never vindicate the right.
No, sir; Seymour and Blair will not get my
my vete." We will add that this man is
gentleman of intelligence, and his support
would be an honor to any party.
