In days past, among the un-
enlightened, and up to the
present time, in our day and
generation, no one article Of
drug has been in as frequent
use, or considered more relia-
BILE, than Buchu. scarcely a
druggist among US but manu-
factures and has on sale a fluid
extract of Buchu. None of
these, however, have attained
the rare celebrity as that OF
which Fl. 7. Helmbold, of 594
Broadway, New York, is manu-
fac turer and proprietor. His
contains other ingredients, all
of which are freely mentioned
in his advertisement, and are
named in the dispensatory in
use by all colleges Of pharmacy
and by regular physicians.
Add to this the fact that these
Il
same regular physicians are
recommending it in all cases Of
diseases of the kidneys and
their connecting organs, is Ger.
tainly an evidence that this
medicine possesses virtues sell
dom accorded to advertised
remedies.
There are counterfeits of this,
the genuine, in existence; SC
those buying should see they
get none other than that o.

an extensive reputation, in
making her usual round of Wis.

who was equally we'll known
as a temperance man and
a hater of tobacco, too. After

smoking some very strong to-
bacco, to the infinite disgust of
her host. The man maintained
his composure several minutes,

The Sense Of Smell.

FROM an article in Ptttndn.'s Naqdziae
for March we clip the following:
Now the question is, .baIl VIC leave
these delicate instruments of soreo az
mere accidental pleasures. or sboU wo
take them up into the regions of science
and art, and make them not ONLY sourc.e
OF sensuous pleasure, but educators in
Tie process of cultivating The inaaina-
ton and refining the tone Of society ?
II sweet and rare odors are as beautiful
IN Their way as the glow of sunsets, or
the dreamy sheen Of moonliehts. or the
sounds OF music, or any other beautiful
Ihihgs That come TO US in the evcr-turning
Kaleidoscope of Nature, why not have
galleries for the exhibition of them, as
for pictures and statues, or as for CON
certs of music? Why not open conserv.
atories OF rare flowers to the public. or
adorn our rich houses in Fifth avenue
with vases Of prophyry, aud alabaster.
and malachite, filed with rare and deli.
cate essences distilled from flowers. and
herbs, and precious woods, so that visi-
tors may take whifs of them as they
take glances at fine pictures? WHY not
open sch ools for boys and girls, in which
instruction shall be given in the qualities
OF odors? Will you say that is noed.
less, tor children take naturally to what
Is odorOlogically good and sweet? Not
always. A youth of an Israelitish fam
lily came into our house last winter. so
rankl y scented with musk that the whole
place, from garret to kitchen. suffered
tor twenty-tour hours. The youth eyi.
IDENTIFY delighted with musk, or at least
thought 1t an unobjectionable odor; aud
l dare say his parents thought so, too.
For the worst OF il is, we don't perceive
our own disagreeable odsrs. Tobacco
smokers don't; onion and garlic eaters
don't; stable boys dou't. Druggists
don't know how their stores smell. nor
cohblers over their lapstones in their un-
ventilated little back workshops, nor

seventy different stenches? Then some
reformer must have convinced the people
OF the otfeuse, who forthwith set up the
manufacture of Colognc-water as an an.

OF smell must be educated, like the other
senses. Vulgar men and women may be
as easily knC wn by the qualities of their
perfumes as by their dress or conversa-

Practical Ethics.
THE GRAND COMPREHENSIVE pr,v

All the rules for our conduct may l,o
brought together under one rule, and be
embraced within il, and that is-y,,r
RULE OF LOVE.
This is a rule so foreign to all the iccl.
ing of the natural heart and Of the nat
ural wisdom Of men, that we find il not
IN any OF tho codes Of antiquity, either
OF barbarous or civilized nations. and
only IN lev faint intimations. or rather
bind graspings for it in the writings of
the philosophers. 1t is found only in
the Bible, and Is stated thus: "Thou
shalt love the Lord tliy God with all thv
heart, and with all thy mind, and with
all thy strength, and thy neiahbor as
thyselt" This is called the "Law of
Universal Love-" and also "The Golden
Rule" Our Savior says that upon these
two-loye to God aud love to our fellow.
mcr-"Hang all the law and the proph.
cts" And he also says that 'these are
the whole duty of man"
This double rule Of love IL to rovorn
all our. conduct, and is the great rule to
en- brace all other rules All rules of our
conduct are to grow ont Of this, to be TO-
iiated to it, and compared with it. And
IN proportion as they agree with IL they
are accepted and followed, aud in propor-
tion as ;hsy differ from it, they are b be
accepted.
This rule, if it could be found prac,i.
cable, would surely be much easier and
pieasanter than the rules and methods of
violence and revenge devised by men
aud dictated by their natures. 1t would
also be more philosophical, and thtfefore
beautiful, to refer all rules to one to
which they are all related and from
which they all spring, Whether this

Waiting for the Spring.

Ae breezes stir the morning,
A silence reigns in air;
Steel blue the heavens above me,
Moveless the trees and bare;

Patience! the earth is waiting,
Waiting for the Spring"
Strong ash and sturdy chestnut,
Rough oak, and poplar high,
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the wintry sky.
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her ouivering,
As though she, too, were waiting,
Waiting for the Spri0g,

If haply where stand
But one stray note of music
May sound in all the land.
why art thou mute, q b,ackbird?
o thrush, why dost moi sing!
ALI surely they are waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
Q heart! thy days are darksomc;
D heart! thy nights are drcar;
But soon shall streams of sunshine
Proclaim the turning year.
soon sball the trees he leafv,
Soon evtry bird sliull sing;
Let them be silent waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
