THE KIDNEYS.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated
nthe upper part OF the loin, surrounded by
at, and consisting of three parts, viz the
Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Inferior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as a 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 nth the bladder.
The bladderis 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 desire 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 muscles, which are engaged in
their various functions. If they are neglect
ed, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, thai
however slight MAJ be the attack, it is sure tc

Dropsy

Is a collection OF water in some parts Of the
body. and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, W.T.: when generally df-
fused over the body, it is called Anasarca /;
when of the abdomen, Ascites; when Of the
chest, Hydrothorax.

The Gravel.

The gravel ensues from neglect or improp.
'er treatment OF the kidneys. These organs
being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain it be-
comes feverish, and sediment forms. 1t is
from this deposit that the stone is formed,
and gravel ensues.

Hollands German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUN, and favored in
such manner that the extreme bitterness Of
the Bitters is overcome, forming a prepara-
ton highly agreeable and pleasant to the pail
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price OF the Tonic is $1.50
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of a
pure quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay little more and have good article I

Zohokke in one of his tails, gives
the following excellent advice:
In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony, take the bridegroom and
demand a solemn vow of him, and
give him a VOW in return. Promise
each other, sacredly, never, not even
in jest, to wrangle with each other
never to handy words or to indulge in
the least ill-humor. Never-I say,
never. Wrangling in jest, and putting
on an air of ill-humor merel y to tease,
becomes earnest by parctice. Mark
that Next, promise each other sim
cerely and solemnly, never to keep a
secret from each other, under whatev-
er pretext, and whatever excuse it
might be. You must continually, and
every moment see clearly into each
others bosom. Even when one has
committed fault, wait not an instant
but confess it. And as you keep moth.
ing from each other, so, on the con-
trary, preserve the privacies of your
house, marriage state, and heart, from
father, mother, sister, brother, aunt
and all the world. Every third OF
fourth one you draw into it with you
will form part, and stand between
you two. That should never be-
Promise this to each other. Remem-
Der the VOW at each temptation. You
will find your account in it. Your
souls will grow, as it were, to each
other, and at last will become as one.
All, if many pair had, on their mer.
riage day, known this secret, how
many marriage were happier than
alas, they are /!

The next morning in the midst of the
CONSERVATION, the constable received
word from Mr.. Rose, that stranger
had made his appearance at his house
the night before, hacked, acting very
strangely, and refusing to give any
account of himself, and that he had
detained the fellow for further devel-
opments. The delighted officer start
ed, hand cuffs in hand, for the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Rose, and on arriving
there, was met by nurse, who pre-
sented him a fine baby which had
made its advent only few hours pre-.
vious. The constable saw the joke
and sloped.

The Other Shore.

Oh, mother. where are you going tonight,
With your cheeks 10 cold. and your lips so white
My child. though the river is deep and wide,
I must cross. tonight, to the other side.
No, no dear mother, list to your son.
You cannot tonight, the bridge is gone.
Ny boy, where the old bridge used to stand,
There's place where small boats now can land;
And don't you know, mid this darkness and gloom
A boat with white sails and bright oars will como
On this angry tide with its sullen roar,
And carry me safe to the other shorei
Then, mother, II 1t is safe for you,
Let the small boat carry me over. too.
Not so, my child, for the waves run high,
Aud oh il is hard for the young to die;
To go slowly down to the deep, dark sea,
And step in the boat that is waiting for me.
Oh, mother how soflly your hands you fold,
And the kiss you gave me was, oh, so cold
And 1t makes me shudder to hear you moan;
Say, mother, must you go tonight, alonei
oh, no dear mother, list to my prayer,
You cannot go tonight, the boat is not there.
She has closed her eyes, she Is lost in sleep,
But she felt no fears for the stormy deep;
But cheerfuly bowing she kissed the rod,
And prayeriully gave her child to God.
And, little one, whilst you knelt in prayer.
That bright-oared boat was surely there.

unbroken strain of martial airs Of
England.
As he sat down one of the Senators
congratulated him upon his speech
and alluding to the above passage
said that to him it was inconceivable
how Mr.. Webster, in a certain speech
so manifestly unprecedented, could
have formed so very perfect and so ex-
quisitely beautiful sentence, which
with hours of study he could not i'm
prove. Mr.. Webster replied that the
passage was not extemporaneous; that
in his summer vacation he had visited
Qubes, and while standing on the
massive and almost impregnable cita-
del there, looking out upon the won
drous scene of national grandeur of
natures loveliness spread before him,
the idea occurred to his mind. He
Immediately took his seat upon gun,
and with pencil and paper, sketched
the thought in the most appropriate
language he could at the moments
command. Upon arriving at his ho-
tel he sat down at his leasure, and
wrote it and rewrote it, with many
interliueations and erasures, until he
had modified it into the form of words
which satisfied him. He then laid ii
aside in his retentive memory, to be
used when occasion should offer. The
opportunity arose upon that day.

The following which we clip from a
valuable exchange, is applicable to
many localities: -.
When you call at the Office for your
mail, and the Postmaster hands it out,
ash him if that is all.
If you ask for mail and he tells
you there is none, tell him there ought
to be; then 90 home and send the rest
of the family around to ask at different
times through the day.
Don't bring your mail to the office
until the mail closes, then curse the
Postmaster for not unlocking the mai
bag and putting your letter in.
When you want stamp on your
letter, tell the Postmaster to put il
on; if he don't like it you lick him
In case you put the stamp on yourself
soak it in your mouth long enough tc
remove the mucilage; it will ther
stick until il is dry.
BE sure 10 ask the Postmaster I,
credit you with stamps, if he has any
accommodation about him at all, h,
will do il.
If you have box, stand and drum

In ore of the debates in Congress,
which suddenly called Daniel Webster
to his feet, he made brief, but most
eloquent speech, apparently without
opportunity for previous preparation.
In the course of his remarks, he threw
out the following sentence, which has
ever since beepadmired as one of the
most harmonious and expressive in the
English language. He was speaking
of our military conflict with Great
Britain; Our fathers raised their flag
against power to which for purposes
of foreign conquest and subjugation
Rome, in the hight of her glory, is
not TO be compared; power which
has dotted over the surface of the
whole globe with her possessions and
military posts, whose morning drum
beat, following the sun in its course

newspaper is like a church-it wants
fostering in its commencement, and
for shot time then, as a general
thing, it can walk alone, and reflect
credit upon its location. Take your
home papers, and as many others as
you are able-they give you moro
news of immediate interest than you
can possibly obtain from any other
source; they talk for you when other
localities belle you; they stand up for
your rights; they tell who is married
and who is dead they tell you who
is manufacturer and who is merchant,
and is the mechanic; and thousand
other things which we have no space
or time to enumerate. Take your
home papers, not grudgingly, but in
liberal spirit; not as a disagreeable
duty, but as an investment that viii
amply pay the expenditure.

liloquised the farmer, as he wended
his way slowly up the lane; 'and if he

Meanwhile Burt drove along the
road about hundred yards to a place
where a muffled figure was waiting for
him. Taking his freight on board, the
mare started off at dashing rate, city

at pace that left all pursuit behind.

missing daughter entered, accompanied
by Mr.. Burton Mayfeld, as large as

forced its way on his mind. He had
been the victim of base conspiracy.
He had loaned a man a horse and
wagon to elope with his own daughter.
