TJilDER THE VINES.
John Abbott up the garden path
Walked Bravely in the autumn haze,
Yith downward looking eyes, and sighed :
"Ali ! short and evil are our days.
'By woman's folly man is led.
Earth's nations bend to evil rule;
G" i 's vintage-time is surely come ;
The '.vine-press of his wrath ia full."
Among the Trapes fair Elsie sat.
An autumn richness ia the glow
Oi rounded cheek and waving hair,
Aul happy eyes that prayed below.
"I am the Vine, the branches ye ;
4 Lov. one another," then Christ said,
Tiie maiden thought ; and 'mid pure joy
i'ur life's good boon she heard a tread.
What j.aei beneath the shadowing vines
I know not ; but with hopeful tone
John Abbott, in his church next morn,
Gave Eisie'e text, and not his own.
THE HUNTER'S OEIME.
In the autumn of 1816, while the woods
wire bright in the variegated hues which
folli-w the light touches of frost, a mounted
travpier was quietly pursuing his way thro'
a dt.rk, broad, lonely forest, in the western
j.&iti'f the State of New York.
lie I.aJ riJufii three miles since seeing a

(.:: he could get sight of another. lie was
ik0' ! ndii'g a hill into a gloomy valley,
ti;r!2h which flowed a shallow but swift
rnuni.ig stream, and on reaching the water
he J .(.-minted his thirsty beat to drink.
At that moment a man stepped out from
a t-'ji-ter of bushes into a road, or horse
path, on the other side of the Btifeam. This
man tvss dressed like a hunter, and carried
hi-, ritle on his hboulJer. In his general
appearance thre was nothing to indicate
lr.w-tiiity or wicked design, lie was of me
thiiin s'.Z't, compactly built, with intelligent
1'. atirres, and a certain air of gentility,
fc-riiirig as one more abroad from some set-tii-iuont
lor a day's sport, tbaa a profession -n'.
hunter.
A'! tiiN the mounted traveler carefully
Li'ttc.'d befbre he crossed the stream to
cr,tinue his journey, and when they came
t ceiher pleasant salutations were exchang
ed". "J ine weatherfor traveling, sir," rem.wk
ed :T,c man with the gun.
"And for hunting also, I suppose," smi
ki (he man on the horse.
"Yes, there is game enough,!.' returned
the other, '"but I am not a good hunter,
ciij can only show one bear for my day's
U'jrk to far, 'and that is almost useless to

fvac two or three hundred yards from
b.-te.-
"I will not only look at it," said the
traw!r. dismounting and fastening the
h .r.-e. "but if noi too heavy I will take it
fur you, as 1 am going the same
''
The hunter thanked him in a most cordial
Ji.aimcr, and then, as if to make himself
ajtrt'.-able. and keep up conversation, in
l lire 1 where the other was from, and learned
in reply that the latter resided in Albany,
j a nierclmnt in good business, and was
imtiing partly for his health, and partly
ti:b a view of making an extensive pur-eh-:se
o!' land.
"Weil, here we are," exclaimed the hun
t :r. an 1 the two emerged from a dense
thick'-f, through which they had slowly
f -reed their way. into an open road; "here
we are. and I'll how you as fat a beast as
juii ever saw. Ubserve where I point my
lilie."
He stepped back eight or ten feet, delib
esately raised his gun to his eye, and point
e 1 the muzzle at the head of the traveler.
There was a flash, a loud report, and the
victim fell like a dog, his face covered with
l!v,l.
I ins might, or might not have been the
lift mine committed by the man with the
r'.li. but as the traveler fell the rifle slipped
IV :si in band, an 1 he bhook violently from
I; :i i to foot ; yet he ran to his victim and
1 : . y robbed ti i in of his pocket-book, a

' t!,. ti.'i.-kit. jduugsd madly through
'-. i 'i-!, tfj into the road, mounted the trav

2-ii ene. i
V e must now suppose a lapse of twenty
years.
In tb.e spring of 1S37 there lived in the
''!" of Ntw York a banker and a million
are, whom we shall call Stephen Edwards.
He owned a palatial mansion, splendidly
f-irm-ht-J, in the very heart of town, and he
and bis w";fe were among the leaders of the
U-bi .nab'e world. They had a daughter
ja-t turned out of sixteen, who was about
to be married to a foreign nobleman, and
feat preparations were being made fur the
bappy event.
One Jay about this period, as the great
bui.ker stood conversing with a gentleman
ir' iu another city, who bad called to see
biui on business, he observed that the latter
turned deadly pale and began to tremble.
''My dear sir," said he, in his usual tone
of off-hand sympathy, "what is the matter,
&re )-,,q ii?"
"A little faint, sir, but nothing to cause
any alarm," replied the other, hurriedly.
I am subject to spells. If you will be
kind enough to excuse me for tea minutes
" so, I will take a ibort walk and return
bs:ter."'
In ten minutes he did return ; said he
was quite well, calmly proceeded to finish
bis business with the banker, and then re
epectfully took his leave.
It was perhaps a week after this that one
night the banker was sitting by the fire in
the library, when the servant came in and
presented him with a letter. He took it
with a yawn and in the most indolent and
indifferent manner possible, but had not
read a dozen words before he came up with
a start, turned deadly pale, and trembled so
that the paper rattled. He read the note
for it was rather a note than a letter,
worked one hand nervously at his throat,
and with the other clasped his forehead and
temples. For a minute or two he seemed
to be choked into calmness by his iron will,
some terrible emotion, and he so far sue
cceded as to address the servant in an ordi
nary tone.
"James," he said, "who gave you this
letter?"
"A man air, and he said he'd wait for an
answer."
"Then I suppose he is waiting."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, show him in.
Soon there was a tap at the door and the
banker said "come in." in an ordinary tone.
The servant opened the door, ushered in
the stranger, and immediately withdrew.
l lie stranger was a man verging on sixty,
oi rougn appearance ana attire, lie wore
an old gray overcoat, buttoned to the throat
and a pair.ef green goggles, and his whole
dress was saturated with rain.
'"Take a seat," said the banker, pointing
to a chair.
o, man you, l a scami, was the
gruff reply, "lougotmy letter, and of
course, you know my business," he added.
"You allude to this, I suppose," replied
the banker, producing the letter which had
cau?ed him so much perturbation.
'Yes."
"I do not. understand it ; you must have
made a mistake."
"No, no mistake at all. I was present,
twenty years ago the tenth day of October,
and saw you shoot the man ; and if you go
and deny it, I'll have you in prison before
morning. I've laid my plans, aal if you
go playing innooeot. and refuse my terms,
I'll take care you die stretching hemp."
The banker turned pale in spite of him
self, shuddered and struggled to a seat.
"I can't give tt it would ruin me."
"Just as you say," rejoined the other,
moving toward the door, "you know what
will follow if I go this way.
He argued, urged and implored for mercy ;
at loss fearful cost. In vain. At last the
banker seeing ruiu, disgrace, death before
him if be refused atiieel to meet the
stranger, with the required sum, on the
following night, in front of the St. Paul's
church. Iioth were punctual to the fixed
time, and bills and checks to the amount of
one hundred thousand dollars changed
haod.i.
A month later there was a tremendous
run on the bank of which Stephen Edwards
was the principal owner. It was soon clos
ed. The sheriff was set to work by eager
creditors, and all the real and personal
property of the late millionaire were seized
and sold, leaving him 'a beggar and just
claims unsatisfied. Fashionable friends de
serted the family, and the proud nobleman
refused the baud of the accomplished daugh
ter. In the midst of his disgrace and tribula
tion he encouniered the man who had turn
ed pale, and became so agitated in his pres
ence a short time before.
"I rather think ycu do not know me.
sir," said the gentleman, with a formal
bow.
' "Your face seems somewhat familliar.but
I can't name you," returned Stephen Ed
wards. "Permit me to bring myself to your rec
ollection, then, as I wish you to know me.
A little more than six weeks ago I was talk
ing to you on business, when you observed
that I turned pale and became agitated."
'"Ah, yes; I remember you now."
"I did nut tell you why I was thus affect
ed. My eyes had just chanced upon a curi
ous seal, which had once belonged to a
merchant named Philip Sidney, who was
shot in the western part of this State some
twenty years ago. I knew you to be the
villiau who committed the foul deed."
Merciful God !" exclaimed the banker,
with a blanched face and quaking form.
"Yes, I knew you," pursued the other,
and a week after I disguised myself and had
an interview with you in your own mansion.
V'ou remember that, of course."
"Cut," gasped the trembling wretch,
"Did I not pay you your own price to keep
my secret ?"
"Yes, and with that rery money, and
what other I could command, I was enabled
to buy up enough of your bills to make
that run upon your bank which broke it,
and foresd ruin upon you."
"And what would you do, now that I am
ruined ?" inquired the ruined man with a
deadly calmness of desperation.
"Now, that I have had my revenge, I
want you to know that I, myself, am the
man you attempted to murder, and did rob.
I am Puilip SiDNEy. Behold where the
ball struck and glanced !"
And he took off his hat and showed it.
"God be praised 1" ejaculated the other.
"God be praised that you are still living !"
and, unabb to restrain his emotion, he burst
into tears. "Oh, sir," he continued, "you
have taken a load from my souL Though
poverty, distress and beggary are staring
me in the face, I am not guilty ot murder,
and am more happy than I have been for
twenty years, with all the luxurious sur
roundings of wealth. It was my first and
last crime. I have never been able to tell
how I was so tempted to outrage my nature
as on that fearful occasion. Now, sir, do
what you will, only, I pray, be merciful to
my family.
"I forgive you," returned he, extending
bis hand "I forgive. .You have been fear
fully punished already; God has seen prop
er to bring us together, let us hope, for our
present and future salvation, to endeavor to
so live as to deserve the blessings we re
ceive, I restore you and your family above
want ; and for the rest, I trust we will soon
have ta render an account in another world."
Philip Sidney kept his word ; and the
still enterprising Edwards soon accumulated
another fortune.
Dr. Johnson's Pudding".
Last summer I mads an excursion to
Scotland, with the intention of completing
my serious of views, and went over the same
ground described by the learned tourists,
Dr. Johnson and Iioswell. I am in the
habit of taking very long walks on these
occasions ; and perceiving a storm threaten,
I made the best of my way to a small build
ing. I arrived in time at a neat little inn,
and was received by a respectable looking
nan and his wife, who did all in their power
to make meconfortable. After eating some
excellent fried mutton chops and drinking a
quart of ale, I asked the landlord to sit
down and partake of a bowl of whiskey
punch. I found him, as the Scotch gen
erally are, very intelligent, and full of anec
dotes, of which the following may serve as
a specimen '.
"Sir," said the landlord, "this inn was
formerly kept by Andrew Macgregor, a
relation of mine ; and these hard bottomed
chairs, (in which we are now sitting) were,
years ago, filled by the great tourists, Dr.
Johnson and Iioswell, travelling like the
lion and jackal. Boswell generally prece
ded the Doctor in search ot food, and being
much pleased with the look of the house,
followed bis nose into the larder, where he
saw a fine leg of mutton. He ordered it to
be roasted with the utmost expedition, and
gave particular orders for a nice puJdifig.
'Now,' says he 'make the best of puddings.'
Elated with bis good luck, he immediately
wen: out in search of his friend, arid saw
the giant of learning slowly advancing on a
pony. 'My dear sir,' said Boswell. out of
breath with joy, 'good news I I have just
bespoken, at & comtortable and clean inn
here, a delicious leg of mutton ; it is now
getting ready, and I flatter myself that we
shall make an excellent meal. Johnson
looked pleased. 'And I hope,' said he.
'you have 1 espoke a pudding.' 'Sir, you will
have your favorite pudding,' replied the
other.
"Johnson got off the pony, and the poor
animal, relieved from the giant, smelt his
way into the stable. Boswell ushered the
Doctor into the bouse, and left him to pre
pare for his dcliuIoL-s treat. Johnson, feel
ing his coat rather damp, from the mist of
the mountains, went into the kitchen, and
threw his upper garment on a chair before
the fire ; he sat on the hob, near a little boy
who was turning the meat. Johnson occa
sionally peeped from behind his coat, while
the boy kept basting the mutton. Johnson
did not like the appearance of his head ;
when he shifted the basting ladle from one
hand the other hand was never idle, and
the Doctor thought a', the same time he
saw something fall upon the meat, upon
which he determined to eat no mutton on
that day. The dinner announced Boswell
exclaimed, 'My dear Doctor, here comes the
mutton, what a picture I done to a turn, and
looks so beautifully brown! The Doctor
tittered. After a short grace, Boswell said
'I suppose I am to carve, as usual ; what
part shall I help you to?, The Doctor
replied
'My dear Bozzy, I did not like to tell you
before, but I am determined to abstain from
meat to-day."
'O dear 1 this is a great disappointment,
said Boswell.
Say no more, I shall make myself ample
amends with the pudding.' Boswell com
menced the attaek, and made the first cut
at the mutton. 'How the gravy runs ; what
fine flavored fat, so nice and brown too. Oh,
sir, you would have relished this prime
piece of mutton.'
The meat being removed, in came the long
wished for pudding. The Doctor looked
joyous, fell eagerly to, and in a few minutes
nonrlv finished all the pudding 1 The table
was cleared, and Boswell said, 'Doctor,
while I was eating the mutton you seemed
frequently inclined to laugh : pray, tell me
what tickled your fancy ? The Doctor then
literally told him all that had passed at the
kitchen fire, about the boy and the basting.
Boswell turned so pale as a parsnip, and
sick of himselt and the company, darted out
of the room. Somewhat relieved, on return-
ine. he insisted on seeing the dirty little
rascally boy, whom he severe y repriman
ded before Johnson. The poor boy cried ;
the Doctor laughed.
'You little snivelling, filthy hound, said
Boswell, 'when you basted the meat why
did you not put on the cap I saw you in
this morning?'
'I could nt sir, said the boy."
'No! why could' nt you?' said Boswell,
'Because my mammy took it from me to
boil the pudding in 1
The Doctor gathered np his herculean
frame, stood erect, touched the ceiling with
his wig, stared or squinted indeed looked
nnv wav but the rieht way. At last his
mouth wide open (none of the smallest.)
and stomach heaving,he with some difficulty
recovered his ffttiath, and looking at Boswell
with dignified contempt, he roared out,
with the lungs of a Stentor 'Mr. Boswell.
sir, leave off laughing, and under pain of
my eternal displeasure, never utter a single
syllable of this abominable adventure to any
soul living while you breathe.' "And so,
Vir'" said mine host, "you have the positive
fact from the simple mouth of your humble
servant. " An gelo't Remin ixcenset.

A story is going the rounds about a girl
in Chester, Vermont, dying from tight
lacing. An editor, commenting on the fact
says : "These corsets should be done away
with; and if the girls can't live without
being squeezed, we suppose meu can be
found who would sacriGce themselves. As
old as we' are we would rather devote three
hours a day, without a cent of pay, as a
brevet corset, than see these girls dying off
in that manner. Office hours almost any
time."
A young lady who sometimes indulges her
wit, "without regard to expense" of feeling
on the the part of those at whom the barb
ed darts are hurled, recently asked our
village dry goods clerk this question :
"Why is your mustatche like my back hair?"
He blush ingly gave it ud when th e answer,
sharp and rather -satirical, caused him to
blush still more : "Because it's alldoicn !"
"Mother," said a little shaver the other
day, "I know what I would do if I was at
sea, and the men were all starving, and they
should draw lots to see who should be killed
and eaten, and it should be me I'd jump
into the water." "But," "said the mother,
"they would fish you up." "No," said he,
"for I wouldn't bite."
A Western editor accused another of
having stole his report at a meeting, which
was recognized by certain earmarks. The
retort courteous is that the first editor
"should tie his ears over the top of his head
while writing, to keep them out of the ink
bottle."
An Albany girl wants to know whether
the woman's rights movement includes the
right to do the courting. If it does, she is
in favor ot it ; as the men in her Ticinity
are bashful.
Cotton plan ting in California has proved
a profitable speculation. One planter who
experimented on 200 acres calculates the to
tal expenses at $6,700, and the net profit at
$7,925.
Mark Twain says that the Sandwich
Islands dish of plain dog "Is only the
cherished American sausage with tha mys
tery removed."

THE KIDNEYS.
Th Kidneys ar twoin number, sltnated at th
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat, aad
contesting or three parts, via? the Anterior, th
Interior, and the Exterior
The anterior absorb Interior consists of tit
sues or veins, which serre as a deposit for th
nrine and convey it to the axtarior. Tb xt
rier is a cuuduotor also, terminating ia a single
tub, and called the Ureter. The areters ar ea
netted with the bladder.
The bladder is composed ef varices covering
or tissues, divided into parts, vis : the Upper, th
Lower, the Nervous, and the Maeoas. Th uprer
expels, the lower retains. Many hare a desire ts
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out tb ability te retain. This frequently occur
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring lata ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their va
rious funetions. If they ere neglected, Gravel er
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader most alro be made aware, that hew
ever slight may be tbe attack, it if tur t arse

and blood ar supported from toes source.
Goer, or Rrbcb atikv. Pain occurring la th
loins is indicative of the above diseases- They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomach aad
chalky concretions.
The Gravel Tb gravel ensues from eegleot
or improper treatment of the kidneys These er
gans being weak, the water ia not expelled from
th bladder, but allowed to remain; it become
feverish, and sediment forms. It i from this da
posit that the ston is formed, and g'rave! ensues.
Daortr is a collection of weter in son parts of
the body, and bears'difTersnt names, according to
the parts affected, vis: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; whoa of th

n. T, Ilri.wsoi.n. Druggist:
Dbab Sib : I hsv been a sufferer, fer npward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I bav used variou
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment of th tuost eminent Physicians, iperia
eing but ltttie relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia
regard to nring yeur Extract Bneha.
I did this because t had ased all kinds ef sd
vertiied remedies, and bad found them worthless,
and ome oolite injurious; in fact, I despaired f
ever getting well, and determined te as no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients
It was this that prompted me to as your remedy.
Asjou advertised that it was composed of bacba,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to m and
my physician as an excellent eocnbinatioa, and,
m ith his advice, after aa examieatioa of th arti
cle, and consulting again with tb druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced it as about
igbt months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the first bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at tb beneficial effect and after
nsing it three weeks was able to walk oat. I fell
ranch like writing yon a full statement of my eas
at that time, bat thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore eoncluded
defer and see if it would effect a perfeot cure,
knowing then it would be of greater vain to 70a
and mora satisfactory to m.
I am now able to report that a cor ts effected
after using the remedy for fiv months.
I have not used any now for three months, aad
feel a well in all respects as I ever did.
Tonr Boehu being devoid oi any tmpleasaa
taste and odor, a nice toni.iacd Invigoratoref tb
system. I do not mean to be without it whenever
ecasion may require its use in such affections.
