A wealthy old farmer was Absalom Lee,
He had but one daughter, the mischievous
Kitty;
So fair and good and so gentle was she,
That lovers came wooing from country
and city.
The first and boldest to ask for her hand,
Was trimly-dressed dandy, who wor-
shipped her tin;
She replied with smile he could we'll un-
derstand,
"That she'd marry no ape for the sake OF
his skim
The next was merchant, from business re-
tired,
Rich, gouty and gruff-a presuming old
Young Kitty's form and sweet face he adj
And thought to himself " 1 can easily win
her.
So he showed her his palace, and made
bluff bow,
And said she might live there; but wick
edly then,
Kitty told him she had long ago made
rash VOW,
"Not to marry bear for the sake of his
den!"
A miser next came he was fearless and bold
In claiming his right to Kitty's affection;
He said she'd not want for home while his
gold
Could pay for cabin to give his pro-
lection;
Half-vexed at his boldness, but calm in a
trice,
She courtesied, and thanked him, and
blushingly then
Demurely repeated her sage aunt's advice,
Not to marry hog for the sake of his
pen!'
The next was farmer, young, bashful and
shy;
He feared the bold wooers who came from
the city;
But the flush on his cheek and the light in
his eye,
Soon kindled flame in the bosom of
Kitty.
Ny life will be one of hard labor" he said;
'But darling, come share it with me, if
you can -
az suppose" she replied, gaily tossing her
head,
"I must marry the farm for the sake of
the mani"

"GOOD AND BETTER"

A father sat by the chimney post &.
On winters day enjoying roast;
By his side maiden young and fair,
A girl with wealth of golden hair; Z.
And she teased the father, stern and cold,
With a question of duty, trite and old;
Say, father, what shall a maiden do
When a man of merit comes to WOO?
And, father, what OF this pain in my breast {?
Married or single-which is the best?
Then the sire to the maiden young and fair,
The girl of the wealth of golden hair,
He answers, as ever do fathers cold,
To the question of duty, trite and old;
8 She who weddeth, keeps Gods letter;
She who weds not, doeth better.''
Then meekly answered the maiden fair.
The girl with the wealth of golden hair;
win keep the sense of the Holy Letter,
Content to do WELL without doing BETTER.

H. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist
Dear Sir: have been a sufferer for upwards of
| twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kidney
affections, during which time have used various
medicinal preparations, and been und.r the treat
ment of the most eminent physicians, eXperienc-
! ing but little relief.
| Having seen your preparations extensively ad-
vertised, 1 consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
| did this because had used all kinds of ad-
| vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
| and some quite injurious: in fact despaired of
ever getting WELL and determined to use no rene
dies hereafter unless l knew of the ingredients.
1t was this that prompted me to your remedy.
AS you advertised that it was composed of buchu,
cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me
and my physician as an-excellent combination,
and, with his advice, after examination of the
article, and consulting again with the druggist,
concluded to try it. I commenced its about
eight months ago, at which time confined
to my room. From the first bottle I was aston
ished and gratitied at the beneficial effect, ard
after using it three weeks able to walk out.
felt much like writing you a full statement of
my case at that time, hut thought my improve
ment might only be temporary, and therefore con-
cluded to defer and if it would effect perfect
cure, knowing then it would be of greater value
to you and more satisfactory to me-
am now able to report that cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invigorator of the
system, do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in in such atteeti3ns
Should any doubt Nj. McCormicks statement,

THE MAIDEN'S WINK.

A cavalier rode by cottager's door,
And a maiden sat thereby,
The cavalier bowed to his saddle full low,
And the maiden winked her eye;
And years rolled on, and the maiden worked
By her door, and still would think
Of the cavaliers bow, and the knight he
thought
For aye on the maiden's wink.
And years rolled on, and the maiden heard
No more of the courteous knight
But, perchance, he called on her name and
thought
Of her wink, as he died in fight.
But the maiden lived the merriest life,
For the Doctor he came one day,
And she winked at him with her arch blue
eye,
And he married her straight away!

The KIDNEYS.

T,HE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
Il situated at the upper part of the loin, sur
rounded by fat and consisting of three parts, viz:
The Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior:
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of It's
sues or veins, which serve deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exterior
is conductor also, terminating in single tube
and called the Ureter. The ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings
tissues, divided into parts, viz the Upper, the
expels, the lower retains. Many have desire to
urnate without the ability, others urnate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections must bring into
action the muscles, which are engaged in their
various functions. If they are neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect
his bodily health and mental powers; our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
