of over thirty years and has always proved a
succors.
Dr. Rand’s Specille is exhibited in the form
of pills, made up entirely of substances that
have a specific effect upon the generative or
gans. Most persons associate the idea of opera

p|an we would always recommend, as affording
the speediest way to get the e fleet of the remedy.

IBB BOAD hill murder-confession
OF MISS CONSTANCE KENT.
Our readers have probably not forgotten the
Road Hill murder m England on the 29lhof
June, I860, in the family of Mr. Kent. Mr. Kent
had been twice married. Hi* family by the first
wife consisted or tiiree daughters and a son. the
two elder daughter* leing grown up young
women, and the third, Constance, a girl of six
teen; the son. William, wa* about fifteen, by
tne second wife he had three children—a daugh
ter, five years old. a son. Francis Saville Kent,
nearly four years old, and another daughter still
younger.
On the night of the murder the Inmates of the
house Wire Mr. and Mrs. Kent, the seven chil
dren we have mentioned and thiee servants—a
cook, a house-maid, and Elizabeth Gongh.the
nurse. Duting the night the child Francis wai
tsken out of his cot. strangled, stabbed, hi*
throat cat, and his body, wrapped in a
blanket which had been drawn out from over
him, was thrown down a privy helor ging to the
home, it was very evident that the uivrJer was
committed by some oih in the hou*e. but, nt*
withstinding every efi'ort was made to discover
the mystery, the murder ha* remained a secret
until how. Suspicion was directed towaids Miia
Constance Kent, but, an investigation, absolved
her. Suspicion then fell on the nurse, and there
were not wanting those who set uu a theory
which involved even the father of the child in
the guilt of the murder. The coroner's ii quest
did riot satialy the public, ami the comaer was
loudl v blamed.
Slowly the public cariosity subsided, but not
without that feeling of disappointment winch
fol.ow the unsuccessful attempt to jienetrate a
mystery. The Kent family broke op their cs
talilislmieut and quitted the neighborhood
Nothing more of a reliable character was heard
of the case until the 23d of April, when the stal
ling intimation was conveyed to the Chief Ma
gistrate at Bow street that Miss Constance Kent
was in custody upon her own confession upon
the terrible charge, having been accompanied
to London by the Rev. Mr. Wagner of St.
Paul's, Brighton, to whom she had revealed her
guiit.
tier confession is in her own handwriting, and,
though not signed, is a* follow*
1, Constance Emilia Kent, alone and nnaided.
on the night if theS9t!» June, lhoO, murdered at
Road-Hilt Hon e, Wiltshire, one Francis Saville
Kent. Before the deed none knew of my inten
tion: nor after it of my guilt. No one assisted
me in the crime, nor in my evasion if dis
covery.
The London Star says of Miss Kent .* appear
a nee in court
iliss Constance Kent was bronght into court
amid the hushed niienee of those present. She
was attired in deep black, and walked into the
l. t. ... . 1. . i' ,.*yi . tan Cha
bv Miss Gioen, who was allowed 10 occupy a
seat near her in the dock. Although Miss Kent
wore a thi •!: vei ■ her countenance could he seen
very plainly, and these who reincmhercd Miss
Constance Kent as the slender girl of sixteen,
aid i y recogn Ilu .. penoa in the
robust and hculthlul form ot Miss Constacce
Kent ot twenty-one. She had wonderfully
changed, and iu live years had grown into wo
manhood and seemed the very pictute of health
acd good living. Her conduct in the dock was
at lii at marked with great composure, and her
icplies to the questions addressed to her by ttie
clerk to the mag strau s were given in a clear
and firm tone of voice; wIicd, however. Inapec
t >r Williamson was giving his evidence, u.nd read
out her written confession ot the mu derot her
brother, she could no longer restrain her feelings,
aud, bursting info n flood of tears, sho sunk into
a peat and hurl d her face in .a handhercliief on
the breast cl M's* Green. Her sobs were lond
and bitter, and. as may be well im igined, this
s' ene created no little sensation and excitement
in the crowded court. Miss Green, who had at
iiist assumed an altnott masculine sternness,
could ii"t remtiu unconcerned when this event
took place, and she, too, indulged in a copious
How of tears. Ultimately, Miss Kent regained
her composure and nothing afterward occurred
to outwardly mark her sense of the awful posi
tion in which she is placed.
The Hev. Mr. Wagner, of Brighton, who came
to Loudon wi lt Miss Kent, testified that he had
known her.about tweuty-ono months. In regard
to his acquaatance with her, he said:
As far »s I can remember, an Kuglish family
wrote to rce, asking for her admission to Sc.
Mny’a Home or Hosp’tal in consequence of her
having no home, or of some diffi nity respecting
her. The ‘•Home," or rather • Hosp.tal," as it
ir no w culled, is a house for religion* lud.es, and
is attached to St. Mary’s Church, ehe came
about that time as a visitor, and 1 as b on there
up to the piesent day.
The confession. i» entirely her own voluntary
act, tu the test ot my belief, it was about a
fortnight ago, as far as I can lecollect, that the
circumstances first cams to my knowledge. It
w< s entirely her own proposition tiiitalic should
be taken beiore ft LonJon Msgistiate. Sr.e her
self propo-.ed to come to Londou for the pur
pose. The nature of the confession she made to
uie was the game, i 1 imbalance, as the statement
produced in her own writing, nnd copi.d upon
the charge sheet.
1 wish to mention mu many are mine naoii
of coming to confess to me as a religious exer
cise, hut i never held o at any inducements to
her to make a public confession. 1 did not Leek
her out. or in any way salt her to come to con
fusion. She be-.self wisbe. to do so.
The prisoner was removed from tee dock and
rrmaudedto j til, to be arraigned on the 4th ol
M,iy. The greatest excitement pievails in Eng
lond in legard to this case. Tlio public feeling
was r rrcsted only hy news of Mr. I.incola's us
stagnation.__

EXPOSITIONS OF SCIlIPTliUE PItOPHECY.
••Christ'sSecond Coming; is it Pre-millennial
or Post millennialis the title of a work hy the
K«v. Hichard Cunningham Ehimeall, just pub
lished for the author by John Ttowr and Edward
Briukerhotf, of this eity. The title of the work
indicates very fully its subject.
It is remarkable that whenever events of great
interest and importance ate taking place among
the nations.the attention of c.mmentatora on the
Seriptualbooks iseijiecially turned totacexposi
tion of the prophetical part. When the kingdoms
of Europe were engaged in the mighty wars of
Napoleon, and old uy ua.-dies were overthrown and
new ones set up in their places, and more than
half the civilized world was convulsed by revo
lutions, tiere appeared a great number of elabo
ra'e works aiming to expound the prophecies in
such a manner as to app-y them to contempora
ry event.i. i he great civil war of our own re
public, with the change ot institutions of wh^ch
it is tte cause, seem? to have a likeeflect. We
have nheady noticed one or tvo werzs of tilts
nature, and that before us is one of the most re
markatde for ita research »ud the care with
which it ii wri ter. Air. Shimeall ha* given to
the subject of bis work the study o many year*.
Hit tre.t.se bears evidence not only of the zeal
with wbicn he maintains his own view ot the
luhject, but of the diligence with which he has
explored the wilting* of other*. In regard to
tie second adveut of the Messiah, he has collect
ed all the different theories which have been pro
posed, stated the arguments in their favor, aud
replied to them in all instance* in which ho doe*
not accept them. ... , ......
The miijority of the Christian church at the
preneut day, as is truly stated by Mr. Shimeall,
hold that the second co/nlnz ol Christ is a spirit
ual or allegorical coming. They believe that this
coming will (.onsi-d, in the diflusiou ol religions
truth, and the extirpation of re ig.on* error in
the conv« reion of the heathen, the uaivcisal ac
ceptance of the gospel, and the general conform,
ltv of the live* Ol men to its precepts. Afr.
Shimeall includes all this in his interpretation of
the prophecies, but be gees further, and hold*
that there will be a personal anl corporeal com
ing of the Messiah, that the riven Saviour will
return to earth in ine body in which he left the
crtve—jn his glorified humanity—to dethrone
all powe s adviree t»the spirit of the Gospel, to
dsstroy Anti-Christ and his armies, to rvlo in per
ton over all the nations of the earth, and to in
augurate are fin of justice, mercy »n S truth. This
second coming of Christ, according to Mi. Shime
ail’s view, is to precede and usher in the millen
ium It will prepare the way for that ago of in
nocence, psace and :OVe which ia to succeed 'he
present ace of dissension. blo.dsUed and crime,
and to which the MiUenarlans loos u ith earnest
longings for its immediate arii val. Although Air.
Shimeall acknowledges himielf in a minority, he
give* tin nAtcesof various eminent persons, both
of ancient and modern times w ho have adapted
view* aimiUr to th so set forth in this w ori.
A part of the volume fs taken up with a reply
to Professor bhedd. of the Union Theological
Seminary In thle city, who, In hU History of
Christian Doctr.ne, affirm* that Millenarianism
by which he means similar, view* to those held
by Mr. Shimeatl, had never been the recognized
doctrine of the Chriatian Church. Mr. Shimeall
takes issue with him on this point, ,nd brings
forward many examples of peraons in the early
age* of the church, and the middle ages and iu
modern time*, who were Millenarian*. Lest the
view taken by Mr. Shimeall should be confound
ed with what la called Millerism, he takes care to
show wherein he differs from the Milleritew. Iu
the lirst place, he denica the possibility of Axing
the day and hour of Christ's second coming
though he holds that there are certain s> mptonis
from which i s near approach is to be inferred.
In the second place, he maintains that the con
flagration of the world is not, as the Mdleritca
hold, conteraporsMoti ly with the second advent
of the Messiah, since the promised reign cfChrist
on earth could not in that event t»ke place.
The reader may not accept Mr. Shiroeall's con
clusion, but he cannot look over the book with
out being interested in the discussion of a ques
tion which has mgaged the thoughts of many
emloent men in every age of the Christian era
which could occupy such a mind as that of New •
ton, and which has so strong an attraction’lor
persons of a lively Imagination when studying
tie prophetic books of fccripture.
