Harper's Bazaar says: From a false
regard to public opinion. or as matter of
convenience; or for the mere purpose of
securir g home and being settled in life,
thousands enter into the most sacred of
human relations with no such feelings
toward each other as will lead them TO
bear and forbear. There is feeling
that it is somewhat disgrace to a wo-
man to pass through life unmarried, and
shrinking from that obloquy. multitudes
marry according to the forms of law
when they are not drawn together
by any qualities of mind and soul, and
there is no true marriage of heart. What
wonder, then. that discomfort and mis-
cry arise. and divorce, if not sought, is
often desii ed.

RICHMOND,
FLOWERS.

Give flowers bring flowers of every hue,
From garden-bed and field,
To deck the green above the breasts
That made the Northern shield.
Pluck off the sweetest orange blooms
And roses white and rare
But not for marriage altars now,
Nor for the ouug brides hair.
Ask lilies for their palest buds,
And violets for their blue
Ask wood and dell for greenest leaves
For those who died for yon.
And lay above the blossoms cold
Where brave hearts now repose,
The lilies pale and violets blue
And orange bloom and rose.
And when the other June shall bloom
Through all the years to be,
Bring flowers as sweet and fair as these
For those who died for thee.

Anson Burlingame, while a stu
dent at the University of Michi-
gan. wrote an essay on history, in
which he expressed the opinion
that "by close application young
man, in one years time, can be-
come acquainted with the princi-
pal event which have trsnspired
since the creation of the world,
and thus certainly make himself an
ornament of society, and that
therefore it seems strange that any
individual will rather waste his

Iy leaves him cause to regret. =

For the Palladium.
The Rented Pew System.

The Rented Few system.
Mr.. Editer-We have boen for some years
an interested spectator of the two systems of
seating in churches; aud, whilst we have held
to the plan of renting, we have tried to view
the matter in an unprejudiced light, and be
open to conviction.
A few Sabbaths ago, we attended -
church, where the seats are all free. 1t was
an unfavorabIe day and the audiance-room
was about two thirds filed; but the seats in
the front part of the church in the vicinity of
being in the rear, consequently, the minister
had his congregation close about him, in full
range of his earnest Christisn pathos. Hav-
ing a position where we could see the faces
of the hearers, it was plain to the observer
that the chain of mental association between
preacher and people was unbroken, and he
held them, almost imperceptably to them.
selves, until they realized in their own souls
the Importance of the great truths so clearly
and forcibly Gelineated, and, as heart went
out to heart, each one seemed to realize there
is a duty for me, and left the house of God,
feeling stronger for the battle of life by the
ciation--all mingled, as it were, into one
harmonious whole.
The evening OF the same day. we went to
- Church where the pews are rented, and
as we entered, the contrast forced itself upon
the mind. There was large, comfortable
audience room, with the people scattered all
over it-a few in one seat and one or two in
another, and a large number of pews in the
vicinity of the pit unoccup:ed-leaving the
speaker the inspiration of empty benches, hich,
in itself, is not very encouraging!
The minister, man of superior natural
ability, with talents finely cultivated, and en-
inenty fitted by rich religious experience and
self lf-consecration, to occupy the sacred desk
as teacher of the people. As he proceeded
with his discourse, his own heart warmed
with interest, and his courtcnance gave evil
dence that his own soul responded to the
burning words of eloquen ce that flowed from
his lips. few in his congregation appreci-
ated it, but as we looked in the ia es of
those who were listening to him, 1t was evil
dent 1hat the chain of association was not
there--it was broken by the spaces between
the people, and between the preacher and the
people, and we were panied to believe that the
effect of these sublime truths, spoken with
the JUNCTION of the divine spirit was. iE a
measure, lost on the congregation, because of
the scattered seating. 1t is an old saying, but
none the less true, that off you want to kin
die FIRE get the brands all together" SO they
will catch the sparks that vitalizes them and
experience proves this truth in various asso-
ciationa of life. Y. S.

The KIDNEYS.

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 tor
the urine and convey it to the exterior. The
exterior is a conductor also, terminating in a
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 expeis, the lower retains.
Many have desire to urinate without the
ability others urina te without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs in children.
To cure those affections, we must bring in
to action the muscles, which are enga ged 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, 1t is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers,
as our flesh and blood are supported from
these sources.

The Gravel.

The gravel ensues from neglect or improp.

being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain Il be-

from this deposit that the stone is formed ,
