hi 1 reluctantly consented to try it, for

"petty t,-ari" anj naj an eye to the
'"ftu chances."
ben I saw the old piebald horse hitched
''" "M green wagon, and the deacDn
1 thtrcin, and altogether moving thro'
-ite. I hurried down stairs and through
''.odihed, and took my way to the barn,
on- open the door, and following the
s of suppressed sobs, I found Jimmy
-Ling in the corner, with his head half
hidden in a tuft of hay, quivering with ex
citement and pain.
When I put my hand upon him he
shrank from the touch ; and when I spoke
his name he looked with the look of a dog
that had been beaten ; when I lifted his
Lead and pillowed it on my lap, floods of
tears gushed forth. I let him have a good
cry, soothing him and pasiinj; my handover
his damp hair.
When he grew calmer I loosened his shirt
band and looked at hi back, and as I did so,
bit my lips to suppress a scream. It wan
literally covered with livid welts, and in
some places the blood came through the
bkin.
Di awing his shirt baud up, fastening it
round his neck, and commanding as well as
I could, my trembling voice, I proposed to
him to go with me to his room aud rust
awhile.
He rose slowly to his feet, and putting
j his ban Js in mine, we proceeded toward
the house and gained the chambers in the
tauie manner I left them, unseen by .Mrs.
Thome.
I persualed hun to undress and dTn
upon the bed, and while I Lathed his ach
ing head and bruised iwli, he told uie what
the offence was for which Li-i father had beat
Liui. I'll lite ury in hh own ivorda :
"Last week he"' -rei'ering to his father ;
it was curious to see how he avoided speak
ing the word father "'told me if 1 would
di? ail the 'latere in the S -uth patch, 1
might go ehestfiutiug the next day; and
whn I a ked him the next d y he said he
did not pro.ni.te, hut I stuck to it he did,
a'id told him right where he wn when he j
aid it. Then he said he didn't care if he I
did say so, 1 couidn' t for I tau.-t pick up
cider apples, and if I'd be a good boy and
work up right smart I might go to- lay ;
but I knew he would. i't k 'u-:j h',i word, and
Silas hri.ee was a gn'mg to day and I want
cd to go too, (or the squirrels were carrying
ofl the tmis as fa-t as they coj'o, and Sile
fSiuce and all the boys have got as many as
1 Lave, and when I asked him if I might
go out he said no I shouldn't, and told me
to go over in tho buck lot and g.':t the sheep,
and I pretended to go, and went off with
the other boys to hunt chest cuts, and he
came through the woods hunting the old
mure and saw me there, ai.d aked me what
I fc'As there for, and 1 told him I couldn't
fi;iu the ii'ueep in the lot, and was looking
for 'c:u in the woods, and he sai l the sheep

he was coming thr.mgh it, and he told mo I

rather l'e lir.e Uobiesoii Cii'.oe, and have
i'.iday live with me, than live here arid be
licked every day."
What could I say? I said nothing; but
I sang him fa.it asleep, and iefc him sleep- j treated the old man well. He had the best

At right the deacon came home, turned
out his horse, ate his iipper, and then in- j
i;edifd where Jimmy was. Mrs. Thorne I
did not know. He looked surprised, not to i
say alarmed, took dowu his hat and went at I
a quick pace toward the barn.
"Soon he came back, nnd I'll confess it
I chuckled to see that he looked pale and
scared. I ha i a good mind to ktep stii!
and let hun pet what Theoiore Wiutlirop
calls a "prickly scare," but he came direct
to me and asked me if I knew where he
was. I reluctansiy answered :
"Up stair in bed, and asleep," and added
nialieioiHy, "sick too, and I shouldn't won
der ii he lias to have-a doctor before he
gets through with it."
The deacon shot an inquiry from beneath
his Fhrggy blows, and went up stairs. I
wouid have given all the apples in the orch
ard to have seen him as he bent over
his
beaten boy.
He came down with a slow and hesitating
step, with a 1 "k on his face that 1 thought
boded much good for Jim.
Strange Jim told a lie !
Who taught him ?
One day I'eaeon Frisbie enme to Deacon
Thorne to buy a cow. The irrepressible
Jim was on hand to drive up the cows, with j
instructions to leave th
of the Lest ones
in the field.
They were driven into the milking yard,
duly inspected by Deacon Fris,Lie, praised
or uepneaieu vy jwm ahuiuc, - ui-u
, t.. n ti nJ i.
iety to keep or sell an .- particular one lay in
the scale. At last, by skillful manoeuvering,
Frisbie was induced to choose the poorest
one in the lot not only in flesh, but every
way. And what think you decided him to
take her?
Deacon Thorne said to Jim :
"What do you think mother
when she finds out I've sold '
will
Old
say
Fill
Pail?"
"O, she'll tear," replied Jim.
Did she tear? Not at all ; she bore it
with most Christian meekness; merely say
ing to Deacon Thorne, when he and Deacon
Frisbie came in to finish business by trans
ferring fifty dollars from one pocket to an
other: "You always manage to sell the best cows
and keep the poorest. I guess you will find
6onie difference in the butter now 'Old
Fill Pail's' going."
At which Jim snickered behind his hat,
and was ordered to go and feed the cows.
Strange Jim told lies!
Who taught him?
Deacon Frisbie was invited to stay to din
ner. He graciously a-ented, anl tho two
deacons settled themselves comfortably in
their chairs and had a good time talking
over church matters.
When dinner was ready wo all set down
together ; and Deacon Frisbie ask ed a bles
sing, in which he praised Deacon Thome,
and Mrs. Ihorne, and Jim, aud "the stran
ger within the gates," (meaning me,) and
I really expected to hear him give thanks
for the old spotted cow, but he stopped just
short of it.
Dinner done he shook hands all around
in a friendly manner, and departed.
Whi'u he was safely in the road, Deacon
Thorne chuckled audibly, and observed to
his wife with a sly puke in her side :
"Old Fill Pail, difference in the butter,
eh ?"
To which Mrs. Thorne replied? with a
jfrave, cunning smile.
Neither chuckle. poke or smile was lost ou
the ever preseut Jim.
Strange Jim told lies !
Who tauuht him ?
The Little L'oy's Rebuke. There was
once a very old man who lived in a house
with his -on. The o!J nnn was deaf, his
eyes were dim, and his legs weak and thin.
When he was at the table he could hardly
hold his spoon, so much did his h md shake;
and at times he would spill it on the table
cloth. All this vexed his son's wife; and
they made him sit in a corner behind the
stove. Then he ate his food from an earth
enware di; h, a'l 1 he had not too much to
e it, as you may guess.
Well, on? day ids trembling hand could
nit hold his dish. It fell to the floor ami
broke. At this the sin's wife was so vexed
that she spoke harhly to the old man. His
on iy answer was a deep
i,.
sifch. Then slit
bought, a bowl of wood, niit of w hich he ale
his food. Not long after this his giandsoti,
a boy about seven years of age, was seen
at work hollowing out a log of wood. His
parents couldn't guess what he was tiying
to do. The little boy said nothing to any
one ; but kept at his work on the log, and
looked very grave, as if he had some woik
on hand.
"What are you doing there ?" s-.ked the
boy's father.
The boy did not want to tell. Then his
mother a-,ked :
''What are you doing there, my son ?"
"O," said he, "I am only iraking a
trough, sueii as our hogs eat out of."
"But wh.it are jou making it for?
"I aai making it for von and father to eat
out of -.heii I grow up a big man," said the
b y.
The parsnts looked at each other, and
burst into tears. From that time they
airree upon political questious. In dispute
one day, one of the disputants lost his
temper, and called the other a liar, fool,
and so on. This was his weakness. He
easily lost his self control ; and then he
was very abusive ; and then repeated. Ou
the occasion referred to, he was so chag
rined at the exhibition h? had mad.: of his
passion, that, he soou called upon his neigh
bor, penitent, and purposing an apology.
We give, in substance, the apology :
"I am ashamed of myself for being so
abusive in my talk with you. To think I
should call a neighbor and' friend, a liar,
fool and knave ! I am very sorry, and I
have come to apologize. Foritive me, I
know not why it is that in my talk with
you I lose my temper. But the fact is you
talk so much like a jackass, I can't help it !"
Ax Allegory. The old man was toiling
through the burden and heat of tho day, in
cultivating his own land, and cultivating
the promising seed in the fruitful lap of
yielding earth. Suddenly there stood before
him, under the shade of a huge linden tree,
a vision. The old man was struck with
amazement.
"I am Solomon,'"' spoke the phantom, in
a friendly voice. "What are you doing
here, old man ?"
"If you are Solomon," replied the ven
erable laborer, "how can you ask this? In
a;y youth you sent me to the ant. I
its occupation, and learned from that in
stinct to bo industrious and to gather.
What I then learned I haTe followed out to
this hour."
"You have only learned half your les
son," replied the spirit. "Go again to the
ant and learn to rest in the winter of your
life, and to enjoy what you have gathered
up."
A few Sundays ago, as Mr. Becchcr was
about commencing his sermon, a stout,
fatherly-looking man was endeavoring to
make his way through the crowd, to get
within a better hearing distance of the
distinguished orator. At that moment, Mr.
Beecher's voice rang out the words of the
text: "Whoartthou?" "Who art thou ?"
again cried out the dramatic preacher. The
stout party, thinking himself in the wrong,
perhaps, by pressing forward, aud believ
ing himself to Le personally addressed,
startied the brethern and nonplussed the
reverend chieftain, by sedately replying :
"I'm a xig merchant from Cincinnati, sir.
I hope you ain't mad. There aiu't nary
chair, or else I'd sot down." Plymouth
church didn't recover its serenity for ten
minutes.
A Mother's Words. A youth of eigh
teen or nineteen years sat at an open win
dow a look of paiulul perplexity in his
face, apparently occasioned by a letter he
held in his hand. After sitting thus lor
some minutes, he muttered to himself:
"Yes, 1 must go, if I don't Brown and
Smith will laugh at uie, and call me righ
teous overmuch ; and after all there's no
great harm in it, for I'll go to church in
the morning, and it's only to be a sail down
the river aud spend the day in the coun
try." Still, he pressed his hand on his fore
head for au instant, then rising hastily, he
said :
"There is no use of bothering about it, I
must go."
As he rose, his eyes lighted on the set
ting sun, and as it did so his whole expres
sion changed ; a sweet yet sad look played
over his face his thoughts were elsewhere
another scene was before his eyes. The
dark street had disappeared, and in its stead
a neat country cottage had rien. He tho't
he was there. Once more he saw the hills
that rose near that cottage door ; once more
the Line waters of the lake glistened Lefore
hitn, once more he sttt in the cottage gar
den with hh widowed mother aud watched
the setting sun.
Once more that mother's words sounded
in his ears "John don't forget your God
ard fle'il not forget you. 'Ilemeinber the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.' Though sin
ners entice you to break it consent thou not.
O, when you're tempted to do wrong dou't
forget to pray ! Never let the sun -o down
on a praverless day. May the God of the
faithful guide yem may the Lord Jesus be
your Saviour !"
Yes, six months had passed since he
heard these woris, and yet they seemed to
sound in Ins ears. Tears filled Lis eyes.and
rising, he folded his hands and kneeled in
prayer, and then taking up his pen, he
wrote thus ;
"Thanks, Brown, for yonr invitation ;
but I cannot accept it. My duty to God is
to obey his commands, aud he hath said :
'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy.' Spending the day in idle pleasure
is not doing this, and I wish you would
think over the subject, and not go your
self." How great is the influence of a pious
mother's word. How wonJorful the an
swers to her earnest prayer.
Use of Lemons. When persons are fe
verish and thirsty beyond what is natural,
indicated by a metalic taste in tho mouth,
especially after drinking water, or by a whi
tish appearance of the ,'ic-atcst part of the
tongue, one of the best "coolers," internal
or external, is to take a lemon, cut off the
top, sprinkle over it some loaf sugar, work
ing it down into the lemon with a spoon,
aud then suck it slowly, squeezing the lem
on, aud adding more sugar as the acidity
increases, from being brought up from a
lower point. Invalids with foverishness
may take two or three lemons a day in this
manner, with the most marked benefit, man
ifested by a seuse of cooluess, comfort, and
invigoration. A lemon or two thus taken
at tea time, as an entire substitute for the
ordinary tea of summer, would give many a
one a comfortable night's sleep, and an
awakening of rest and invigoration, with an
appetite for breakfast, to which they are
strangers who will have their cup of tea and
a hearty supper.
A dusky Adonis took his Dulcinea to the
fair at Bowling Green, Ky., last week, and
in rambling through the grounds came to a
tank in which a crocodile fresh from the
Nile, was disporting himself. "Watdarar
scaly ting am in dar?" languidly inquired
the damsel. "Dat," said Johnsing,
momentarily taken back, and scratching his
head in perplexity. "Dat, miss, am a co.i
cubiuc from de shoresob de Nile."
Said a loving wife to her husband : "Will
you never learn, my dear, the difference
betweeu real and exchangeable value?"
The husband, tired of politicial economists
in petticots; replied: "Ah, yes my dear, I
know your great learning and many virtues.
That's your real value. But I also know
that none of my married friends would
exchange wives with me. That's your
exchangeable value."
The art of painting on marble, which, if
ever kuown, had been lost for centuries, has
at length, after years of experiment,, been
brought to a high degree or perfection, by a
New York artist. In brilliancy of color his
specimens are equal to oil painting, while
the pigments when once fixed, are perma
nent, and cani ot be injured by ihe action
of the atmosphere, water or acids.
"Well, David," said a poor but worthy
citizens to one of the State street magnates,
"the world has prospered with you, and
thevsay you are immensely rich." "Well,"
replied David, "perhaps it is true, but we
cannot take our gold with us when we go."
"It would melt if you did," was the quick
retort.
A young lady fell asleep in a hotel parlor
recently, and was awakened, like the "sleep
ing beauty," by a kiss on her mouth. Her
indignation can be imagined when she dis
covered it was oue of the bell boys who had
been sent into clean the windows.and whose
excuse was, that he wanted to tell his friends
that he had actually "kissed a live lady."

A Democratic Marriage. There is a
little place called Tonawanda, lying on the
Niagara river, Erie canal and Central Rail
road, about midway between Buffalo and
the Niagara Falls. It is a small place, aud
yet it requires two counties to contain it.
The people there are in a habit of going
strong for the Democratic ticket ; but we
never heard until quite lately that the obli
gation to do so forma a part cf the marriage
ceremony in that classic locality.
The following is an exact copy of a scene
which took place there within the last week.
It is furnished by one who was present, and
was so moved by the magnitude of the joke,
that he insisted upon its being pat in print.
The scene is the office of a well known
aud most popular Democratic Justice of the
peace and counsellor. Enter two Dutch
innocents, of large proportions and counte
nances, who inform the Squire that they
desire to be made one. At the same mo
ment a gentleman from Niagara Falls, is
called in by the functionary to witness 'Le
ceremony.
The parties being properly called, the
ceremony proceeds thas :
"Hans, is there any reason; why yort
shouldn't marry Katrine?"
'Nine.'
'Katrine, is there any reason why you
shouldn't inarry Hans?'
'Nein, noiu."
'Do you Hans, promise to love, honor and
comfort Katrine as your wife '.'
'Yaw.
'Do you, Katrine promise to love, honor
and obey Hans, as your husband V
'Yaw, yaw.'
'Then in the name of the people of the
S-a!eofNew York, I pronounce you man
and wife; and you colemnly swear, to sup
port the Constitution of the United States,
and the Con.-titution of the state of New
York, and to vote the Democratic ticket
every time it comes around?'
Hans 'Yaw.'
Katerine 'Yaw.'
Squire (to witness) 'Can you best that
in Niagara Falls?'
Witness very positively I should
think not. ' ' Osiceyo Advertiser. j
NoTniNG Like Grammar. Nothing like
grammar ! Better go without a cow than go I
without that. There are numberless "pro-
fwKurs" wKo go "tramp, li4iup, Uauif, my '
boys!" aroun-J the country, peddling a weak
article, by which "in twenty days" they
guarantee to set a man thoroughly up in
the English language. An instance in point
comes from Greenville, Alabama, where a
"professor" had labored with the youth
of that people, and taught tl.em to dote on
grammar according to "Morris's" system.
During one of the lectures the sentence,
"Mary milks the cow," was given out to be
parsed. Each word had been parsed save
one, which fell to Bob L., a sixteen-year-old
near the foot of the class, who commenced
thus : "Cow is a noun, feminine gender, sin
gular number, third person, and stands for
Jtirv."
"Stands for Mary!" said the excited
professor. "How do you make that out?"
"Because," answered the noble pupil, "it
the cow didn't stand for Mary, how could
lary milk her f'
List week the labors of the persons who
had been boring for the last eighteen months
in Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraska, for
alt water, were crowned with success. At
the depth of six hundred feet, below the
surface, in a stratum of sandstone, a lead ot
the great subterranean sea of salt water was
?truek, and the briny current came strug
gling up around the auger and shot up into
the air some eight or ten feet. It has since
flowed strongly and steadily, and with great
force and increasing strength, forming a
briny rivulet. It is believed by the experts
who have seen the flow, that when the auger
is withdrawn aud tubing inserted, a btreaui
ot water will be projected from the well to
the height of fifty feet, making it the most
uiagniticeut artesian well of salt water in
the world.
Professor, said a student in pursuit
of knowledge concerning the habits of ani

THE kidneys;
The Kidneys are two in number, si mated at the

The anterior absorbs Interior consists of" tie

rior is a conductor also, teAninaticg in a single
tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder it composed of various coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz : th Upper, til
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. Th npper
expels, th lower retains.- Many hare a desire to
urinate nithont the ability,- others urinat with

H. T, Helmboi.d. Druggist:
Dear Sir : I nive been a sufferer, fer npwsrat
of twenty years, witb gravel, bladdef and kidney
affections, during which time I bay used various
medicinal preparations, and been nnder tb treat
ment of 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 your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertieed remedies, and had found I hem wrthif,
and om quit injurious; in fact, I despaired ef
ever getting well, and determined te us n rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of th ingredients.
It was this that prompted me to us your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of bnchn,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to m and,
my physician as an excellent eoinbinatiem, and,
ith his advice, after an examination of th arti
cle, and conalting again with th druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its us about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the Erst bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect and after
using it thre weeks was able to walk out, I felt
much like writing yon a full statement of my eas
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefor eoneluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect euro,
knowing then it would be of greater value to you
and more satisfactory to me.
I am cow able to report that a cur is effected
after using th remedy for five months.
I have not nsd any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid ot any unpleasant
taste and odor, a pice tanicacd invigoratorof th
system. I do not mean to be without it wh-never
occasion may require its use in such affections.
