THE ANGEL OF THE HEARTH.

"Come to me darling; papa's

ther, as she extended her arms af-
fectionately to d little girl os three

playthings to climb upon her ia

nance, and without a glance of

side. Not word was spoken, and
the gloomy man sat sad and sui
len. his mind wholly absorbed

Although husband and a father,
he was evidently in no humor to

The child, not at all discour-
aged by the forbidding look of her
parent. crept gently upon his knee,
and placing her tiny arm around
his neck, the other glided affec-
tionately over the opposite cheek,
while her innocent lips pressed
gently the troubled brow. In q
subdued breath she whispered,
Nellie loves papa SO much," and
she drew her little soft hand car
essingly down either side of that
care-worn face until they met be.

Observe the effect! Twas elec-
trical; the stern features relaxed,
the sullen gloom disappeared, and
the whole countenance assumed q
lively animated expression.
The scene was most touching.
Words fail to express the exquis-
ile beauty of such a picture. AS
the transformed parent drew the
little girl to his BOSOM and press
ed kiss upon that innocent, up-
turned face, the finer feelings Of
his manly nature were in his voice
as he said:
''No, my child, papa could nev.

I've Been Thinking.

pve been thinking, Eve been tn hiking.
What a glorious world we're this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbors' less.
For instance you and I, my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
OF matters that concern US not,
And other people mock.
I've been thinking, if we'd begin
10 mend our own affairs,
That possibly our neighbors might
Contrive to manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend
Ii may be so with others;
1t would seem strange if it were not,
Since all mankind were brothers.
Oh! would that we had charity,
For every man and woman.
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know to 'serr is human"
Then let us Danish jealousy
Let's lift our fallen brother,
And as we journey down LIES road,

British Neutrality.

"The Alabama depredations have been
relied upon as sufficient reason by
many, who do not appear to reflect on
the conclusions to which it would lead ::
that the United States were so power-
less that they were unable to defend
their Mercantile Murine from one small
war vessel So says the Montreal
Herald, which but echoes the views Of
leading English journals on the Aiaba ma
claims question. But this sophstical
argument will not stand. The act of
recognizing the Confederacy as the equal
OF the United States on the ocean. so
hasty as to be practically hostile, has
ever been held To be the essential cause
of our complaint. 1t was what destroy
ed our commerce, by making armed
cruisers possible. Its anlmus was but
TOO obvious. But for that act the war
might have been greatly shortened And
it's offensiveness was not more conspcu-
Gus than its illegality. That England
does not desire to stand by that act in
the future, as rule OF conduct, we have
/ ad abu ,dan; evidence during the last
few weeks. Prussia was prompt to ar
raign the British Government for its
questionable neutrality, aud 'perfi'iious
Albion unwilling to have another Aia-
bama case, was equally prompt to bark
en-. 1t cannot be very long, in the rap
! iG march events, before England VI i'll
be forced 10 acknowledge her wrong to
us, by coming over to our own doctrine
| OF neutrality, as she has already come
over TO the American doctrine Of natur
alization. If we maintain our ground
with the reason and consistency we have
| thus far displayed. we shall secure full
! expia,ion for the wrong done US. by fla
! ally erecting the broad American doc
| trine Of neutrality as the platform of the
| leading commercial nations of the globe.
| md the question between us will not be
settled until, with the payment of our
claims against England, she con cedes the
wrong character of the act by at least
proposing to reconstruct international
relations on the firm and enlightened
basis OF the American principle. We
should never accept the settlement ol
! individual claims as a settlement of the
question of neautrality, for the reason
/ that this question: IS much more thal q
matter of individual complaint, as it il
likewise one OF larger scope than of dol
! lars and cents merely. Oar merchants
were innocent losers by the very laws
which the English Government has lately ly
confessed are inadequate to prevent
| breaches of Neutrality, and therefore
| furnish the ready incident through which
/ the case is to be practically reached.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat and consisting Of three parts, viz : the
Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit for
the urine and convey it to the exterior. The
exterior is a conductor also, terminating in
single tube, and called the Uterus. The ute
rus are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed Of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz the
Upper. the Lower the Nervous, and the Mu-
cous. The upper expels, the lower retains.
Many have de sire to urinate without the
ability Others urinate without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring in .
to action the muscels, which are engaged in
their various functions. If they are neglect
ed, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that
however slight NAV be the attack, it is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers,
as flesh and blood are supported from
these sources.

prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was cor posed of buchu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me
and my physician as AN excellent combina-
ton, and, with his advice, after an examina-
tion of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, concluded to try it. l COM
