The Tale of a. Leg.
NOVEL MODE OF ADVERTISING--AN AMU
SING MISTAKE
Soon after the introductiet► ci the
celebrated mechanical, false lege and
arms, a certain Dr. B--=--opettecl
office on Broadway,lbr the purpose of
applying them for the Wry - Ea of those
whom mischances had itismombered.
These appliances w'..re a very great
improvement upon the old-fashioned
wooden and (*rt legs, and, as a natur
al consequence, they wore eagerly
sought for, although their great cost
precluded Many from possessing these
adjuncts to locomotion.
Ono day Dr. B. was waited upon by
a young lady who-had hobbled around
two years on a cork contrivance, which
a railroad accident had compelled her
to wear : but the price was far above
her moans, and so the poor creature
was about to hobble away again, still
cork-legged and unrequited, when Dr.
B. wzs suddenly harnassed with an
idea.
"If you will permit me to refer to
the limb," said he, "and will consent
to show bow well and naturally it
works, to those whom 1 may send to
you, I will adjust one of my best pat
terns for you, without a cent of pay."
Tho offer was taken into considera
tion by the young lady and her fami
ly, and it was finally agreed to accept
the offer, the term of exhibition to
extend over a period of three months.
Tho leg was adjusted, and not only
"worked" splendidly, but looked equal
to the original; in short, she was able
to throw aside her cane and promen
ade with grace, with only trifling
difficulty.
Bat by-and-by the doctor's customers
bOgan to come to her for the purpose
of examination. At first it was far
from being pleasant, but in the pres
ence of her mother and sister the ex
hibition of the artificial limb ceased to
be a bore ; and she began to talc to it
with pride, dressing the inanimate
member so tastefully and •superbly as
to provoke many compliments and
queries to which was which.
One day a gentleman called at the
house and inquired for Miss S-.lle
was a lawyer's student, very bashful
indeed, and came on an errand for his
employer, who still had the case of this
young lady's mother vs. the railroad
company who had:maimed her daugh
ter.
The young lady had by this time
learned to treat the whole affair as a
matter of business, and when she
hoard that a caller was waiting in the
parlor, she went down as she would
have gone upon any other duty.
Me young gentleman bowed and
blushed as she entered the room, and
supposing that he was somewhat eon•
fused about making known his errand,
she boldly approached it herself.
"I suppose you have come to see my
log," she said, drawing a chair up in
front of him.
The poor student, if he blushed and
stammeredibefore, he was entirely
crimson and unspeakable now.
he stammered, and again
she came to the reroute.
"Never mind excuses, it is simply a
matter of business," she said, at the
same time displaying the limb. "You
see I can use it just as well as tke oth
er, and very few, if any, would notice
the difference. I can assure you
that—"
"Don't mention it; I am only too
happy to show you that all the doctor
claims for his limbs is true. I can
walk for two miles without experien
cing the least difficulty."
"But my dear young lady, I wish
to see your mother," said the blushing
student, the moment he could in the
slightest way get command of himself.
"There is no occasion for that, sir ;
she does not wear a leg of this kind,"
continued the interesting exhibitor.
"But, but—l am Mr. NV's clerk—he
wished me to—" and casting a side
long look at the beautifully-rounded
mechanism he broke down again.
"Oh, Mr. W. Oh, my! I thought
you came from Dr. 8., and wished to
see my false leg. I beg pardon."
"01, there's — no occasion for excuses,
I assure you ; it is a very natural mis
take, and I have boon very delightful:
ly entertained by it."
-
The young lady retired with any
number of blushes, while her mother
made the proper excuses and explan
ations.:
Tue TESTS OF FRIENDSIIIP.—The hardest
trial to those who fall from affluence and
honor to poverty and obscurity, is the discov
ery that the attachment of so many in whom
they had confided was a miserable shallow
ness. 'Adversity is a sure test of friendship.
Flies leave the kitchen when the dishes are
empty; leaves drop off before the breath of
winter; ravens desert their bancatet at a sud
den noise, becoming mere specks on the hori
zon. Friends such as those are indeed but
"summer friends"—mere parasites that cling
as long as the sap surges through the tree.
A true friend sits in the centre of the
heart, and is for all times. Calamity increa
ses his sympathy; suffering enlarges his char
ity; adversity does notblunt his consciousness
of duty. Our need only reveals him more
fully, and binds him more closely to us.—
Prosperity and adversity are both revealers,
the difference being that in the former our
friends know as, and that in the latter we
know them. Bat, notwithstanding the gree
diness and insincerity prevalent among men,
there is: a vast deal more of esteem and
fellow yearning than is ever outwardly
shown. There are more examples of unadul
terated affection, more deeds of silent love
and magnanimity than is usually supposed.
We are one of those who believe that the
world is not quite so bad as misanthropes
would make it; if we are wrong, we cannot
help it—our opinion carries much satisfac
tion witn it. The world has its snare of be
nevolent impulses and generous motives; and
ff we fail to observe it, is because, in all pro
bability, that wo ourselves are selfish and
bigoted.
TAKE MY HAND, PAPA.—In the dead of
of night, I am frequently wakened by a little
hand stealing out from the crib by my side,
with the pleading cry
" Please take my hand, papa!"
Instantly the little boy's hand is grasped,
his fears vanish, and, soothed by the con
sciousness of his father's presence, ho falls
into sweet sleep again.
We commend this lesson of simple, filial
faith and trust to the anxious, sorrowing
ones, that are found in almost every house
hold. Stretch forth your hand, stricken
mourner, although you may bo in the deep
est darkness and gloom, and fear and anx
ious suspense may cloud your weary path
way and that every act will reveal the pres
mei) of a loving, compassionate Father, and
give you the peace that passeth nll under
standing.
The darkness may not pass away at once,
night may still enfold you in its embrace, but
is terrors may be dissipated, its gloom and
sadness flee away, and en the simple grasp of
ho Father's hand, sweet peace will ho given'
and you will rest securely, knowing that the
'morning cometh.'
A VERBOSE preacher in England, who
could be found only on Sunday, being obliged
to secrete himself during the week to avoid
his creditors, was in this wies criticized by a
waggish hearer: That man," said he," is
invisible six days of the week, and incompre
hensible on the seventh.'
The Mount 06 4 '
ais Tunnel.
On Christmas
ndty7ofthtehewAloroknmteCneennis
gaged at eith©e e e
tunnel m e t r. nd clasped hands through
the open'- age in the solid rock where
the tw o gangs came together in the
Buw.. .assful prosecution of their stupcnd-
P . us work. This great tunnel unites
Franco and Italy. it is nearly eight
miles long; it passes under three groat
Alpine mountains, at a depth of 5,484
feet, or more than ono mile beneath
their loftiest summits, and its cost so
far has been 170,000,000 francs with
very low wages paid to the workmen.
The work was begun in 1857, so that
it has taken thirteen years to perfor
ate the mountains, and it will proba
bly require half a year more before it
will be ready for railroad travel. It is
said that one thousand men were killed
by explosions and falling rocks during
the thirteen years that the work was
progressing. Perforators, driven by
compressed air wore used to bore the
I rock, at the rate of nine feet a day.
The holes made were then filled with
[ powder, and the blasts touched off by
[ electricity. The stone and dirt had
to• be removed several miles to get it
out of the way.
This great tunnel ranks among the
improvements of the ago, alongside of
our Pacific Railroad which stretches
across the American continent ; the
Suez canal and the Atlantic cabl es
Its success will give encouragement to
similar enterprises that are talked of
—such as the b4ring of a tunnel or
passage way for railway and general
travel under the Delaware and Schuyl
kill rivers at Philadelphia ; the North
and East rivers at New York. and
even the more formidable sad stu
pendotis project of tunnelling the Brit
ish channel, so as to afford direct com
munication between France and Eng
land.
The Mount Coals Tunnel wiil bo
entirely in the interests of peace. In
case of war between Franco and Italy
it would bo useless to either nation,
for at either end it could be easily
made impassible. Armies would have
to cross the Alps as did Hannibal and
the first Napoleon, so that the natural
barriers, in time of war, would still
remain. So of the Atlantic Cables, and
all the great enterprises of the age.
War can and does in a very short
time destroy what it takes years to
build up— hence those great improve
ments servo as additional motives to
keep the peace between the civilized
nations of the earth.
The Flight of Time.
Another year has rolled away, and
another now year is before us. At
such a juncture we cannot avoid re
flection, and amid all the distractions
and gaiety of the season wo cannot
avert the intrusion of a few serious
thoughts, thoughts of the past.
W bile we make a review of the past
twelve months, it passes before the
mind like a :panorama, and hero and
there we would that the picture of
happy recollections might remain
awhile; then others we glide swiftly
over as being of inferior enjoyment.
Time does fly.
How impressive is the thought,
when wo open a book, and upon tho
fly-leaf we recognize our scrawl, made
some ton, twenty, or fifty years ago
We remember the day, the hour, all
the circumstances of our placing it
there. We say, "It seems as though
it was only yesterday." The book
may be a gift ; wo prized it and still do
prize it, and the "Presented to" awa
kens a multitude of thoughts. That
book we have road and re-read ; we
have cherished its choice companion
ship and that also of the giver. Tho
giver may have gone from us long ago,
lost to ns in death or in life, still the
book remains. Faded it may be, aged
and worn, but mellow with time and
sacred to memory. We seem to re
member more of its contents than we
do of most of our other books, and the
pleasure of its perusal often excites us
more than anything else.
We mark the places that knew us
years ago, but they know us no more.
Wo visit them and changes stare us in
the face at every step—crumbling
away and rebuilding, clearing out and
leveling over seems only to satisfy the
tooth of time. Once familiar faces
wear:an air of failure and 'sadness, or
an assumed cheerfulness with a broken
heart scarcely able to sustain it. Oth
ers hasten to and fro in the busy marts
we were wont to traverse. They buy,
sell and calculate as did wo; their
minds are active, their feet are unwea
ry, their hands are not idle, pushing on
the untiring schemes of Commerce,
Art and law. ,
"Where is the world ?" cries Young
at eighty. "Where is the world in
which a man was born ?"
Like the clouds upon a windy day
our moments hurry by, and whilst the
tickings of the old clock tell that time
is fleet, wo are growing old, and where
roses bloom upon the fairest cheek,
wrinkles are insensibly being sown
there. Everything admonishes us to
take note of time, and to fill up the
years with actions good and true.
"Youth is not rich, in time it may be
poor; part with it as with money,
sparing; pay no moment but in pur
chase of its worth, and what its worth
ask death beds, they can tell."
When our success and happiness in
life and in eternity depend much upon
the care we exercise, wo should hus
band every moment, improve each
fleeting hour, fading day and passing
year. Grasp every opportunity of do
ing ourselves and others good, and
when
"Looking backward from our manhood's prime,
See not the specter of our misspent time."
Among the most important change,s
made in the new tariff, which went into
effect on the Ist of January, are the fol
lowing : Teas, from 25 to 15 cents ; cof
fee, from 5 to 3 cents; new sugar, from
3i. to 1$ cents; sugar above No. 7, from
4 to 2 cents ; refined sugar, from 5 to 4
cents ; • cane molasses, from Bto 5 cents;
brandy, from $3 to $2 ; liquors, from $2 50
to.s2 per proof gallon; wool, from 30 per
cent. to 11 and 10 cents; steel railway
bars, from 2i and 10 per ceneto 11 cents;
pig iron, from $9 to $7 ; cast and wrought
scrap are each increased $1 per ton. Fifty
two articles, mostly drugs, are placed on
the free list; and the tarif on forty articles
reduced.
The welcome news that the last rock of
of the Mont Cenis tunnel has been pierced,
and that the workmen from both ends of
the mountain have joined each other in
congratulations over the event, is announc
ed by cable several days ago. The accom
plishment ef this great feat in engineering
is a greater triumph for France than she
has yet won on the battle-field, and one
that will be of far more practical advan
tage to the world. Islay and France are
now united, and the dangers of the pass
age of the Alps forever overcome.

TII E KIDNEYS.
G LASS,
GLASS,
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part of the lion, surrounded by fat, and con
sisting of three parts, viz: tho Anterior, the In
terior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine
and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a
conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and
called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with
the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into pane, viz: the Upper, the
tower, the Nervous and the igneous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a dcsiae to
urinate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their var
ious functions. If they ore neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight :nay he the attack, it is sure to effect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sot:recs.
.GOUT, on RIIEUMATIS74.—Pain occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concretions. .
TIIE GRAV . EL.—The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
Dnoosv is a collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, according
to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Allman= ; when of the
abdomen, Aeeites ; when of fhe chest, Rydrothorax.

IL T. llEL3ieouk, Difuggiat:
Dear have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and have been under the
treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experi
encing little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buell.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and, some quite injurious; in fact; I despaired of
over getting well, and determined to use no reme
dies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It
was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of huchu;
cubebs and juniper beiries, it occurred._ to me and
my physician .as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice after ar. examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist, I conclud
ed to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my
room. From the first bottle I was astonished and
gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement might
only be a temporary, and therefore concluded to
deter and see it 11, .oam i,frk:Cl7 - & — priVel. cure;
knowing then it Would be of greater value to you,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is effected
after using the remedy fdr Sive months.
I have not used any now for three months, and
fell as well in all respects, as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor—a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system.• I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections.
