II. T. HELMBoLD, Druggst-DEAR SIR: have
been sufferer for upwards OF twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal preparations

physicians, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adj
vertised, I consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds Of adver-
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad-
vice. after examination of the article and con.
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced to use it about eight months ago,

full statement of my at the time. but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see ii it would
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 i 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 such affections.

We mnst say few words as to the
fate of the coquette.
There now stands, near the spot
where Isabella Davis plighted her
troth to Frank Savage, small house.
The fierce winds of forty winters, and
the scorching sun of as many sum
mers, have made sad havoc with its
outward appearance. The once proud
and petted child OF fortune, the
fairest OF the fair. the fayorite of
the ballroom, where beauty had
brought q score of lovers at her feet,
is the lonely occupant of the old
house. Tbs hair that onca fell in
golden curls over her shoulders, is
now reduced to few silvery threads,
and time has furrowed deep ridges in
the once rosy cheek; the form that
was once pointed out as model OF
beauty, now leans on staff for sup.
port. Her home is cheerless, and her
iireside unoccupied; life to her is de-
void of charm; weary oil the world,
and unknown to its enjoyment, she
lives, and with benumbed fingers, and
chill old age, has reason 20 lament
her indiscretions.
So ends the story of Isabella Davis,
the coquette.

MARRIED FOR BOTH WORLDS

There is n romance about the histo-
rory of Mrs. Wallace, whose remains
are to be brought here from Philadel,
phia, which exceeds the impossible in
cidents of fiction. rs far as truth does
its counterfeit. Many of our old set.
tiers will remember the father of this
lady, who was a wealthy banker of
our city. Although it was never
made prominently public, il was
known that he was scion of the blood
royal of France, and by right entitled
To the rank of Due du San Domingo.
On the fourth OF November, 1871, the
Due de Joinville visited Davenport,
and stayed some days at the old lie
Clair House. Ostensibly on tour TO
see the western country, the real OBJ
ject of his visit was to spend day or
two with his royal cousin. Sometime
afterwards Mr.. Macklet gave up the
banking business, and the quiet Dav-
enport citizen might have been seen
in all the insignia of his rank at the
royal parties given at the halls of the
Tuileries or the saloons OF Versailles.
The lady whose recent death was re.
corded yesterday was the daughter of
this prince. Upon the death of her
husband, Mr. Wallace, she refused for
two years all consolation, and lived
the life of q recluse in the house now
occupied by Geo. II. French, Esq
Here she had room fitted up in fu-
neral style; a portrait of her husband
draped in Grape was the only orna-
ment, before which was placed small
altar and a prize dieo. Mrs. Wallace
never left this room, but dressed in =
black serge gown with wimple and
white hood, spent her time in constant
devotion before the painting of her
loved and lost one. Once only, in the
depth of winter, she was missed, and
after long search discovered almost
frozen, prone upon the marble slab
which covered his remains, and be-
dewing the icy stone with her tears
Her child was carefully nursed and
when it cried was taken to her room for
its natural food and mothers care
Upon the termination of the two
years she again sought the world in
which she reigned queen of fashion
until the death of her nephew again
drove her into the solitude of the
mourning chamber for similar peri
od. Her mother having removed to
Philadelphia some five years ago, was
accompanied by Mrs. Wallace, who
from that period to her death, was
the solace of an afiectionate parent,
whose years border on eighty. Her
sorrow for her deceased husband new
er healed. and now her remains are
on their way to rest beside the one
she loved, and truly proved that as a
true women she was indeed married
| for both worlds.

| must say something of her per-
sonal appearance, although it deGes

pen. Neither tall nor short, stout
nor slim, she is of medium stature,

Her side face, looked at over her left
shoulder, is of perfect acqniline out
line, as classic as ever went into Ro-
man marble, and resemble the mack
of Shakespeare taken after death:
the same view, looking from the
right il little broken and irregular:
and the front face is broad, with
prominent cheek-bones, and with
some unshapely nasal lines. Her
countenace is never twice alike, SO
dependent on her moods. Her soul
comes into it; and goes out of it, Civ
ing her at one time the look of q su-
perior and almost sanity intelligence,
and at another leaving her dull, COM
mon-place and unprepossessing
When under strong spiritual infiu-
ence, a strange and mystical light
irridates from her face, reminding
the beho1der of the Hebrew law-giv-
er, who gave to men what he received
from God, ond whose face, during
the transfer, shone. Tennyson, as
with the hand Of gold-beater, has
beautifully gilded the same express

faculties to her lips for the full utter
ance of her message, whether it be of
persuasion or indignation, and par
ticularly when under spiritual con-
troll, she is a very orator for eloquence
pouring forth her sentences ike a
mountain stream, sweeping away
everything that frets its flood.
Her hair, which, when left to itself,
Is as long as those tresses of Hortense
in which her son Louis Napoleon used
to play hide-and-seek, she now mer-
cilessly cuts close like boys. from
impatience at the daily waste of time
and suitably taking care of this prod
igal gift of nature.
She can ride horse like an Indian,
and climb tree like an athlete; she
can swim, row boat, play billiards,
and dance, moreover, as the crown OF
her physical virtues, she can walk all
day like an Englishwoman.

The age of miracles is not vet past,
if the story of the Winking Virgin,
which comes from Rome, be true
The story goes that near the tomb of
a recently deceased and most exem-
plary lady in the Church of st. Girls
ogono picture of Our Lady hangs /;
and about month ago certain
worshipers were astonished beyond
measure to see the painted eyes, the
lids OF which dropped low, open wide
and look at them. When the news of
this strange occurrence spread, there
was no little curiosity TO visit the
church and see if the miracle would
be repeated. The consequence of this
was that the priests took the picture
away and locked it up in their con-
vent. The free-thinking eclesiastics
either disbelieyed that. miracle had
taken place, or dreaded the scandal
likely TO attach to them in the opin-
ion of their brothers if they should al
low it TO continue. But above the
door of the house of charity adjoining
the church there is a fresco of the
Virgin and child, and no sooner had
the picture within the church been
withdrawn than the miracle was re-
peated in the fresco. The fresco is
on solid wall, which fact removes
all suspicion of trickery, as it is i'm
possible to manipulate sit by means Of
wires or other machinery. Before
this miraculous fresco crowds accum-
ulate daily, and there are said to be
fifty thousand persons who have reg
istered declaration that they have
witnessed this wonderful winkine
image. The real facts in the case are
involved in nfSstery.;; dor as yet nc
one has attempted u Explain or pre-
sumed to deny the phenomenon.

INDusTRy.-Man must have occupa-
ton or be miserable. Toll is the
price of sleep and appetite, of health
and enjoyment. The very necessity
which overcomes our natural sloth is
blessing. The world does not con-
tain briar or a thorn which divine
mercy could have. spared. We are
happier with the sterility, which we
can overcome by industry, than we
could have been with spontaneous
plenty and unbounded profusion.
The body and the mind are improved
by the toll that fatigues them. The
toll is a thousand times rewarded by
the pleasure it bestows. Its enjoy
ments are peculiar. No wealth can
purchase them, no Incidence can
taste them. They flow only from ex-
ertions which they repay.
