' I 'ippoe tn, grandma," and Janet
t i ik her seat by th? fire and went on knit
ting, with a peaceful face.
The elder sisters came home with rump
led plumage, but in high spirits.
Austin lioswortb. had returned, a hand.
j"tne, polished gentleman, and had flirted
desperately with Lettie.
' Why, grandma, he almost proposed to
!!!" laughed Margaret, who was engaged
to Juden Leonardos hopeful son, and there
fire had no place for jealousy. More than
one of the company predicted that it would
be a match.
''Don't count your chickens beforo they
are hatched," called grandma from her Dll
l"w. "Mr. Austin Bosworth it do fool, I
can tell you!" '
"What an old croaker I"
They were entering their chamber across
the hall, but grandmother's ears were not
dulled by old age, and she heard them.
'Don't mind them, grandma," whisper
ed Janet, who had waited to help them lay
aside their finery.
-Hind them ! Do you think I shall,
Janet Leeds?"
. iext day Austin Jlosworth came. He
was too familliar with the old house to stop
for bellringing, and he entered, crosing the
hall directly past the parlor door, where
Margaret and Lettie waited in their taste
ful afternoon costumes, and walked on to
grandma Leeds' room.
She was there with her work, her placid
face beaming beneath the white-laced bor
der.
A gracfful, girlish figure half knelt be
fore her, wreath'rtlg with deft fingers a
bunch of evergreens into a frame for a man
tle ornament, and her eyei were lilted smi
lingly into the old lady's face.
He entered and closed- the door before
either saw htm.
"Grandma Leeds 1"
"Why bless my heart, it is Austin!
Come here my boy."
And the Cue gentleman came and gave
both hands to her in her delight.
"Jruiic, my little playmate, too 1 What
a happy meeting 1 Clara came down, dres
sed f or a call, and declared she would come.
but I told her no ! I knew the amount of
galantry I should feel obliged to use and I
preferred my first visit should be like the
old ones."
"You arc right. We arc better pleased
to have it so, are we not, Janet?"
His call lengthened itself into two hour.;,
and daring the time he told pleasant stories
and chatted like the boy of by gone days,
but not once did Alan-arot's or Lettie'i name
pas his Hps.
When he went away lie met them coming,
with disappointed faces, from the parlor,
where they had been waiting for him ; but
he oniy lii'ied his fiat and passed out. 'Then
grandma and Janet received a sound scold
ing, such as hese two knew how to give,
and the shadows of discontent aaiu fell on
Janet's spirit.
Ah, that long, cheerless winter! What
a story Jam-t could tell you of disappoint
ments, of happy parties, of which she had
no share, of moonlight rides, of joy and
oi l i
merriment: one nau on;y mat one com
forter, kind, patient grandma; for now that
Austin Bosworth had come, ti e way was
harder than before.
lie came and escorted Lettie to parties,
and sometimes chatted with grandma, but
nothing more, tine saw nothing more. She
did iKit as usual, catch the gond natured
smiles he give hr from the sleigh as lie
rode away and Lettie never told her how
often he asked for her.
Alone with grandma, Janet wKhcd for
better things, and wondering why she was
so harshly dealt with.
At last even the society of her good aged
comforter w?s denied her, and in her bed
the old lady gradually faded away. Day
and night Janet sat beside her with the
knowledge that she was beyond earthly
help waiting upon her, yielded to the
childi.h whims, ami shutting out everything
youthful and beautiful from her sight.
"Playing hou.-ahald atigel," Margaret
sai.l. s-
"Working for grandma's fortune of old
shoes and worsted stockings," Lettie cruelly
added.
Doing her duty by the faithful woman
who Lad taken the three motherless chil
dren into lir heart, and filled the lost one'
place, so far as tjod permitted, bar owti
heart said, and steadily she worked cn.
The first of May brought invitations to
the last Da!l of the Bosworth House, and
while the two elder sisters laid cut the fine
ry, Janet fo! led her tiny missive and hid it
away next to her heart, as a sacred bit of
paper bearing Austin's firm, broad chirog
raphy upon it.
That night grandma was very ill, and
when Marga.-ct and Ljttia fluttered in with
the gay dresses Janet met them and almost
forcibly put them out of the room.
"I beg yon girls, to have a little respect
for poor grandma she is very ill to-night."
"Nonsense! Don't he a fool, Janet
anybody would think she was dying."
"I believe she is."
Their reply camo in a violent slam of
the door, and Janet was left alone with her
patient.
The hours dragged wearily, and overcome
by her long sleepless watches, Janet fell
fast asleep.
Two hour later she awoke with a start,
and in an instant she saw that dread change
in her grandma's face.
Like one in a dream she walked to her
father's door and awakened hi in.
"Father, grandma is worse. I believe
her dying. You must go to Dr. Berne.
You will find him at the ball. Go quickly !"'
She went back, and set there wearily
waiting for something for a sound, a sign
from the dying woman ; but none came.
Slowly, but perceptibly, the line settled
around the pleasant mouth, and the dark
shadows crept over the placid face, but no
sound issued from the pale lips.
Janet bent her head. There was a faint
flutter no more, and Janet clasped her
hands. Would grandma die there before
her eyes and never speak a word?
She caught the cold hand in her own, and
cried aloud :
"Grandma ! speak to me 1 speak to your
little Janet! Don't you hear me grandma ?
But (rrandma heard nothing. The dull
ness of death had settled dowu, and even as
she knelt there the breath fled, and Janet
w as alone.
She understood it all when she arose, and
sank back half fainting in the arm chair,
near the bed.
"Janet, my poor darling !"
She lifted her head.' Austin Bosworth
was leaning over her.
"My little girl! Why did you not send
rue word to night, and let uie share your
Eorrow?"
"l'ou Austin I"
"Yes, have I not . Ah ! forgive me I
This is no time or nlaee. T mU.f,) trnu no T
have always missed you, but thought it was
your own pleasure to remain at home.
Y hen your father came in with a white
frightened face, and whiupcred (o Dr.
.Lcrne, I knew you were m trouble. I came
at once, and, Janie, I shall not again leave
you.
She knew his meaning, and did not put
him away, when he held her elose in bis
arms and drew her into the parlor.
Margaret and Lettie cominr in with their
faces horrid-stricken, saw him holding her
in his arms, her tired head resting wearily
upon his shoulder, and the proud Lettie
said :
"Mr. Bosworth, I am surprised !"
1 ou need not be.
This is my privilege
now and forever."
Three days after they gathered in that
same parlor, to hear Rrandmaujma'a Ja.vt
will and testament read. After some little
directions, it said :
"And to my beloved grand-daughter,
Janet Leeds, I bequeath the Ilobnes estate,
together with my entire sto.-k of furniture
and money, amounting to ten thousand
dollars."
Janet's father smiled upon his astonished
and crest-fallen daughters.
"It was mother's whim. She never desir
ed it to be known. Therefore you were
ignorant of the fact that she had a dollar
beyond the annuity I held for her."
When, six months later, Austin and Jan
et were married, her elder sisters dared to
say that he married her for her nioucy.
He knew better and so did I.
AVTIQIITY OF A CHINESE ClTV. Six
hundred years ago, Marco Polo, the celebra
ted Venetian traveler, visited Hang-Chow.
At that time it contained a population of
over 2,500,000 souls, and was the metropo
lis of China. It was enclosed in the same
walls we see now.' and if ranted among the
wealthiest and most populous cities of the
globe. According to the best authenticated
history, Hang Chow was built in the begin
ning of the Chow dynasty, 1,1 2.'! years be
fore Christ. At that time Cartiage and
Troy were flourishing, Home had not been
founded, Athens was in her infancy, and
Solomon had not yet dedicated the temple.
To day the very sight of Troy is lost in the
night of antiqity, the "iSiobe of Nations"
is in the dust, the glory of Athens is known
only in the chronicles of Homer, and the
traces of the Temple of Solomon are only to
be found by laborious rcrearch. What a
train of dreamy musings it suggests that
amid all these changes and chances there
stand these gloomy walls and towering
temples, contemporaneous with hoar anti
quity which to all outward appearance,
still prcssive a set calm atid statuesque com
posure !
How to Get Slkep. This is to many
persons a uiatter of high importance. Ner
vous persons who are troubled with wake
fulness and excitability usually have astrong j
tendency of blood to the brain with cold ex
tremities. The pressure of blood on the j
brain keeps it in a stimulated or wakeful
state, and the pulsations in the head are of
ten painful. Let them rise and chafe the
body and extremities with a towl or brush,
or rub smartly with the hand to promote
circulation and withdraw the excessive
amount of blood from the brain, and they
will fall asleep in a few moments. A cold
bath, or a sponge bath, and rubbing, or a
good run, or a rapid walk in the open air,
or going up and down stairs a few t imes just
before retiring, will aid in equalizing circula
tionHnd promoting sleep. These rules are
simple and easy of application in the castle
or cabin, and may minister to the comfort
of thousands who would freely spend money
for an anodyne to promote "Nature's sweet
restorer, balmy sleep."
Would Sixa It. A story is told of an
old clergyman who has the most unbounded
faith in Watt's hymn book. He was fond
of saying that he could never open any page
without finding an appropriate hymn. A
mischievous son of his thought it would be
a good joke to test his father's faith. So
he took an old song and pasted it on one of
the pages of the book, over a hymn, so
nicely that it could not be easily detected.
At church, on Sabbath morning, the minis
ter happened to open at that very page,
and commenced to read :
'Old GWmes is dead,-'
There was a sensation in the audience. He
looked at his book ; but such was his faith
in Watt's hymns that he undertook it again,
commencing with the same line. There
was another sensation in the audience.
Looking at it again, and then at the con
gregation, and then at at the choir, said he,
"Brethcren, it is here in the regular order
in Watt's hymn book, and we will sing it
any how."
A "Iovyer," in whom the Promethean
fire burns bright and effulgent, has worked
out the following elegant specimen of litera
ture and rhyme :
"O ! Sally 'tis my chief delite,
To gais upon your eyeses brite ;
iIy luv lor you, by gosh, cirpasses
The luv I fele for rum and 'lasses." 1
POLISHING THE WINDOWS.
Mrs. Whipple's daughters were the most
stylish girls m the town. There were four
of them, all handsome, aud queenly, and
cultivated, with a little fortune of their own,
which was left them two j-ears before, and
which they were to come in full possession
of when they were twenty-one, but not a
moment before.
Of course the young gentlemen of the
village kept their eyes turned towards the
Whipple family. If there was a ride, or a
walk, or a party or sociable, nothing could
be done unless these four pretty maidens
were concerned in it, much to the disgust of
the rest of us, win had no special expecta
tions, whatever might be our individual pre
tensions to good looks and culture.
There was another member of the Whip
ple family. This young lady was a neice of
Mr. Whipple, the chill of a favorite sister,
who had been unfortunate, and who died
not long after her marriage. The child was
such a pale, puny creature, with such awk
ward, shy ways,that she grew Cinderella-like,
in such domestic obscurity, that none of us
knew much of her until the event happened
which fam about to relate.
Cousin Ned was always an eccentric geni
us. Ha had been traveling all over Europe,
and was the author of "Letters from Paris,"
published in our paper, that were thought
very brilliant because they described the Eu
ropean fashions in a vivacious way, and cut
us Americans up for trying to ape Eugenie,
when we ought to have enough sense to know
that the styles of one country were illy
adapted to another.
Cousin Ned was regarded as a great catch.
All the Whipple girls were delighted when
they heard of his intended return, and made
me promise to bring him over as soon as he
was at leisure. Indeed, they had been very
attentive to me on his aecount.as I very well
knew, and I was just foolish enough to be
patronized by them, although I knew they
barely recognized me at Saratoga when we
met there one summer.
Among my letters that morning, I found
one from Ned. lie had arrived in New
York, and was only waiting, he said, "to
purchase me the hatnlntMiie silk at Stew
art s, before coming to us.
As I knew there was to be a birthday
party at the Whipple's, I ran over to show
the letter, and beg them to allow me to tel-
i. v.. i 1 .1... l.i t I
'"i"-1" lu "ie; .V"" ,Y"g-.,
iu scasuu I'jr me lesiiviues.
We were all sitting in the back parlor,
talking over our new dresses and trimmings,
when Mrs. Whipple came in hastily.
"Now, girls, this won't do ; some of you
must polish the windows in front. Bridget
is all out of sorts this morning. She says
she will wash them, but she will not have
time to rub them, and that unless somo of
you will help her she'll quit, and it will be
just like her to do it.' So if you know what
is for your interest, do fly around and get
her good natured again."
"Where's Said?" asked all th'e girls in a
breath. Said was the orphan niece, and
was expected to do everything that Bridget
didn't.
"She's sick with one of her terrible head
aches," Mrs. Whipple said, with an indig
nant toss of the head.
"Well, she's always sick, seems to me,"
Cecelia cried out harshly.
"I've been expecting she would give out,
ever since my birthday party has been an
nounced," said Hose, spitefully.
"I should think you would be ashamed of
yourself," Mrs. Whipple returned, as if
there was a slight sense of justice left in her.
"Said has worked like a dog ever since this
party wan talked of. Look at the piles of cake
she has made, and the creams and whips, to
say nothing of the dresses and furbelows. I
should think you might have some mercy on
the child."
"Well. I guess she can manage to polish
those windows," Hose said, laughingly.
"You don't think I'm going to stand up
there for everybody to look at who goes by ?"
"It you never do anything worse than
polsh windows, you never will have occasion
to blush for yourself," the mother said.
"Well, I should blush to be seen doing
Bridget's work, and if she cannot do it, then
Said must."
"Said 1 Said !" Rose screamed at the foot
of the stairs.
"Well!" answered a sweet, pleasant,
voice from above.
"Bridget wants somebody to polish the
windows.
There was a little pause, as if gathering
strength to take up thecrosa then the sweet
voice answered
"I'll come right down." r-
"Well, hurry up, they are all cross Brid
get and mother."
"Yes, dear."
Rose came back to where we were sitting,
but somehow the beauty of her face had all
disappeared.
Presently Said came in with a white hand
kerchief resting on her curls like a dainty
morning cap, and with a chamois skin in
her hand.
I do not suppose I had looked at Said for
two whole years as observantly as I looked
at her then. Was it possible this was the
sallow, peak-faced girl that had been called
"Said?" Her form had rounded into the
finest proportions. The blue eyes looked
from under the lor g silken lashes with a
depth of tenderness in them, such as one
sees in the pictures of nuns grieving for the
lost love of this world, and yearning for the
sanctification of that to coma The pensive
rounding of the smooth cheeks and graceful
curving of the red lips were perfect, and
every motion was graceful and winning.
Said passed near pie with timid recogni
tion, blushing as if she expected no return
to her salute. I don't know what impulse
made me rise and put my arm around her
neck tind kiss her, but the girls all burst out
laughing when I did so. in such a sarcastic
manner that Said slipped hastily away, but
not until 1 had seen the tears in her beauti
ful eyes.
"What made you kiss Said?" Rose asked
tartly, when I was seated again,
"I could not help it," I said ; "she's the
prettiest creature I ever saw."
Rose pouted.
Said took the steps and mounted boldly.
As she stood there with the lace drapery
falling around her, with her perfectly mould
ed arms moving over the glaes, I thought
what a pity it was that Cousin Ned could
not see her, for it would be exactly the kind
of picture to take his fancy.
Just then some one entered the front gate,
and came along the gravel walk.
"Bless me," Rose cried, springing to her
feet, "there is a stranger," and away she ran
to arrange her toilet.
Cecelia simply tucked her pretty foot on
the cushion, and opened a book in the most
graceful way imaginable.
"Do get down, Said," gasped Mat; but
Said went on polishing, as if she had not
heard.
Mat went Jo the piano and struck a plain
tive chord, just as I recognized the voice of
Cousin Ned.
O 1 ... . -
oucn a time as we hau then I liose was
called, and eame down in a silk dress, and
was so surprised, and so delighted, and it
was so fortunate he had come in season for
the party. There was no end to the raptu
rous exclamations.
Mrs. Whipple had somehow taken off the
working gown she had been wearing all the
morning, aud came sailing forward in a hand
some wrapper. She kissed him on both
cheeks in such a motherly way,and then af
ter a time, made him try her raspberry shrub,
and walked him all over the premises to see
the improvements that had been made siuce
ho went to Europe.
Ned was in his manners a gentleman, and
listened as if she wa3 telling him what he
was most eager to know, but every once in
a while his eyes glanced toward the front
windows, where Said was polishing, without
a word of apology, or an attempt to leave
her work. When the gh-vsscs were cleaned,
and she had gone from the room, Ned asked :
JiAUaw-me to inquire how it happemwMrs.
Whipple, that you are fortunate in having
beautiful servants as well as elegant daugh
ters? Must every thing be beautiful that
comes within your pleasant circle ?"
Mrs. Whipple laughed, and the girls
laughed, but no one said, (he young huh is
our relative, and so Ned stiil supposed that
Said was a house servant.
When we were passing down trie walk to
bo home and while Mrs. Whipple and her
daughters were still at the ball door, we
came near Said, who was standing auicng
the rose bushes, culling buds for vases.
"Said," I asked, "may I introduce you to
my Cousin Ned ? You hare not forgotten
each other, I trust?"
Said blushed the color of the roses she
held in her hand, but with perfectly lady like
grace, saluted him.
Ned was embarrassed any one could tee
that but he did find words to 6ay he cer
tainly had not recognized her as he came in.
He stopped to select a bud from the fragrant
mass, when Rose cried out from the hall
steps
"If you are ready, Said, we will arrange
the flowers."
A little tremor passed over the beautiful
lips, but she bade us a pleasant good morn
ing, and went in.
"In what" capacity does that young lady
serve in her aunt's family?" Ned asked, af
ter he had swept off innumerable dandelion
blossoms with his cane.
"It would be difficult to say. She seems
to be as much a maid of all work as any
thing." Ned was absant-minded from that day
forth. I wore the gorgeous silk Ned had
brought me from Stewart's, to the party,
but no one knew better than I how bowdy I
looked beside Said, in her cool white muslin,
looped up with moss rosebuds.
As no one seemed to notice her, all being
absorbed in their admiration of the Misses
Whipple, Cousin Ned took her upon his
arm, and, lam afraid, would not have left
her the whole evening, had not Mrs. Whip
ple summoned her to take round the ices. I
wish you could have seen Ned's face then ;
it flushed all over.
The long and the short of the story is,
Said became my cousin, and we are as fond
of each other as if we were sisters. At first
the Whipples were very indignant, but when
Ned discovered that Mr. Whipple had made
Said an heir equally with his daughters, and
refused to allow his wife to receive a penny
of the money, they became very patrpuizibg
and kind.
As Ned was amply able to buy the Whip
ples all out, and then have money to lend
them, he cared very little for their likes or
dislikes. Said is as happy as the days are
long, and blesses the hour when she was
called upon to polish the windows.
We do not suppose that every young lady
who polishes windows will see her lover ceme
up the gravel walk but no sensible girl
should be ashamed to be seen doing any
thing that is useful and domestic, since no
one whose opinion is desirable will think
the less of her for being thus employed. A
wise man will sooner forgive one for doing
too much than too little. Laziness is the
mother of many vices.

Th Kidneys art two in number, situated at th
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat. and
consisting f three parts, tie: th Anterior, th
Interior, and the Exterior.
Th anterior absorb. Interior consists of tia
saes or veins, which rv as deposit for th
urin and eonvy it to Lb xtrir. Th exte
rior is a conductor also, terminating In a single
tube, and called th t!rtr. Th nreterj ar eon-
nected with th bladder.
The bladder ia composed of vartoai coverings
r tissues, divided into parte, via: th Cpper, ta
Lowr, th Servous. and th Mucous. Th opper
xpels. the lower retain. Many have a desir to
urinate without th ability, others nrinat with
out th ability to retain. This frequently ocean
in children.
To car these affections, w must bring Into ac
tion the mascles, which ar engaged in their va
rious function. If they er neglected, Gravel er
Dropsy may nsu.
The reader must also be mad aware, that how
ever slight may b th attack, it ia sur to affect
th bodily health and mental powers, as oar flesh
and bloed are supported from thes sources.
Ooct, or Rbkckatism. Pin occurring la th
loins is indicative of th above diseases. They
occur in parsons disposed to acid stomach and
chalky eoncretins.
Tnn Gravel. Th gravel ensues from negleet
or improper treatment of the kidney These er
gans being weak, th water ii not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from thii de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
Dnorsr is a collection of water in some parts of
the body, and bearEjdifTerent names, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of the
Abdomen. Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrotho

compound txtraet Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseasei of th bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism .and gouty
affections. Under this head w aav arranged
Dysurie, or difficulty and pain in passing watr,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent dischar
ges of water; Strangury, or stopping of water;
Hematuria, or bloody urine ; Goul and Rheuma
tism of the kidneya, without any change In quan
tity, nut increase in color, er dark water. It was
always highly recommended by the lata Dr.
Pbysick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion
and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise
by which the watery or calcareous depositions
and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain
and inflammation ar reduced, end it ia taken by
men, women and children. Directions for use and
diet accompany.

II. T, Helviold, Druggist:
Deae Si : I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have nsed various
medicinal preparations, and been nnderthe treat
ment ef the most eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician in
regard to using yeur Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had nsed all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and .onie quite Injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to us oe rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this that prompted me to nse your remedy.
As yon advertised that it was eomposed of buchu ,
tubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me end
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and comulting egain with the druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its as about
eight months ago, at which time I waa confined
to my room From the first bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect and after
using it three weeks was able to walkout. I felt
much like writing you a full statement of my ease
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and ace if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then ic would be of greater value to yon,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a care la effected
after using the remedy for five month.
I have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Tour Buchu being devoid ot any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tniand invigoratorof the
system, I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its nse in such affections.
