PSALM OF MAEEIAGE.
Tell me not in idle jingle,
"Marriage is an empty dream !"
For the girl is dead that's airigle,
And girls are not what they seem.
Life is real ! Life iu earnest !
Single blessedness a fib !
".Man thou art, to man returnest I"
Han been spoken of the rib.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined and or way ;
But to act that each to-morrow
finds us nearer marriage day.
Life is loug and youth is fleeting,
And our hearts, though light and gay,
Still like pleasant drum pre beating
WedJimr marches all the way.
In the world' s broad Geld of battle,
la the bivouac of life.
Be not like dumb driven cattle !
Be a heroine a wife !
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead !
Act act to the living Present !
Heart within and hope ahead 1
Lives of married folks remind us
We i-an live our Jives as well,
And, departing, leave behind us
Such ezeampies as feball "tell."
Such example that another,
Wasting time in idle sport ,
A fotlorn, unmarried brother,
Seeing, shall take heart and court.
Let us, then be up and doing.
With a heart ou triumph set
Still contriving, still pursuing,
And each one a husband get.
GAIU OS LOSS.
"What did Mr. Ictt want?" asked Mrs.
Bell of her husband.
She had been watching the two men for
some time as they stood talking in front or
their pretty dwelling, wondering what it
could be that interested tlicra so deeply.
Mr. Isett had been urging something upon
her husband, which he had steadily refused;
though once or twice he seemed to hesitate.
Mr. Isett she thought unusually excited, it
not angry, when he left her husband and
walked away.
"He wants to rent our new hou.e and
etore on the cornerof Elm and River streets,
and offers to pay a thousand dollars rent."
The face of -Mrs. Bell flushed instantly,
and a pleased hght came into her eyes. -
"A thousand dollars !" she exclaimed,
"why, we've never thought of over six
hundred. But," and her voice fell, "isn't
it promised to Mr. Edwards?"
"Yes; and Mr. Edwards must have it."
"But not for six hundred dollars.""
"That is the rent I asked ; and for his
business it is all he can afford. Indeed six
hundred is a good rent, and will pay hand
somely on the cost of this property."
"Still, Henry, if we can get a thousand,
we ought to have it. A thing is worth:you
know, what it will bring."
"Isctt's offer is a great temptation, I will
confess," said Mr. B-Al "But I don't
want to rent the properly. I don't like his
business."
"Oh, as to that," answered Mrs. Bell,
who had a great, deoire to become well off
in the world, "we can't shut him up, do as
we will. Our place isn't the only one in
town. His business will go on just the
fame, decide as we may. And I don't see
that it can make much difference, whether
it le carried on at the corner of Elm and
Kivrr street, or somewhere else."
"Maybe not," said the husband, begin
ning to waver in his good resolution now
tliat Mrs. Bell spoke so decidedly in favor
of renting the property to Mr. Isett, who
wanted it for a drinking and billiard saloon.
'"Bat," be added, with something of refret
in his tones, "I am committed to Mr. Ed
win. "
"'.No lease has been signed," said the
wife.
"Still, I have passed my word t Mr.
Kdwards that he should have the house."
Vou must get out of it," said Mrs. Bell
firmly. "We can't afford to throw away
K a year."
Mr'. Bell was resolute, and her husband
yielded. It is not usual for a woman to
tke the wrong side in this way, but Mrs.
IMI loved money and the world. She wan
ted to ?t rich, and, we are sorry to say it,
;d-i t care much how the riches came.
so the houe was rented to Mr. Isett, who
fi'ted it up for a drinking saloon in a very
attraetive style. It of course became known
over the town that Mr. Bell had broken
hi-, word to Mr. Edward, the dry goods
iwchaut, and for an advance of $400, ren
ted the new bouse for a drinking and gam
ing den. As this house stood in the best
portion of the town, people talked a great
deal about it, and much feeling was excited
against the Bells after the saloon was open
ed. aid a plain sneakinz neighbor to Mrs.
Ecll "You'll rue the dav it was done,uiind
i tell you."
There was something so earnest and pro-
Ptetic in the woman's voice, that Mrs. Bell
felt a strange uncomfortable feeling creep
nio ner heart.
"People who dig pits for others, some
t'tues fall into them themselves," added the
netgnbor.
"Who's dug a pit?" asked Mrs. Bell,
"lf angrily.
"You and your husband, and it is at the
"rntr of Lira and River streets. A great
many unwary young men our sons and
brothers, and husbands it maybe will fall
into this pit ; and I do not see that you can
hope to escape the peril any more than the
rest ot us. I saw John Toiand going in
there yesterday, and he is no older than
your Henry."
A sudden crimson, and then a quick pale
ness overspread the face of Mrs. Bell.
"Four hundred dollars a year will be a
poor compensation for his ruin, I'm think
ing, Mrs. Bell ; and there is no more securi
ty for him than for any of our children.
You have put us all in equal peril. But if
your Henry is enticed into this den now, or
in half a dozen years hence, as I doubt not
he will be, the boy will have our pity, but
not his mother. Good morning."
And the neighbor went away hastily and
in much excitement, leaving a troubled
heart behind her.
Mrs. Bell had never thought of this. A
few minutes after the neighbor left, her
son Henry came iu from school. He was a
bright boy of thirteen. His face was ani -mated,
and he said with much interest in
his voice :
"I've been all over Mr. Isett's saloon.
It is fitted up elegantly."
"Why mother 1" exclaimed the boy a
moment afterward, "what's the matter, are
you sick ?"
"I did feel sick ; but it's over now," an
swered Mrs. Bell,-in a choking voice.
"It's such a nice place," fcaid the boy,
taking up his theme. "There are- ever so
many pictures, and mirrors "
"Henry, my son!" said Mrs. Bell, inter
rupting him "I don't want you to go to
Mr. Isett's. It's no place for boys."-
Henry's countenance fell. He looked at
his mother doubtfully.
"It's our house, isn't it?" be asked after
a little, while.
"No matter if it is!" replied bis mother,
speaking with some irritation. "It's no
place for boys, and don't let me hear of your
beinjj there again. '
"Now mind, Henry, you are on no ac
count to go near Isett's saloon."
Her anger pushed him away, and weak
ened her influence over him.
The neighbor had planted a thorn in Mrs.
Bell's pillow, and it kept her awake for
most of the uight that followed. On the
Dext morning, as her son was leaving for
school, she went with him to the door, aud
gave him this parting injunction :
"Now mind, Henry, you are ou no ac
count, to go near Isett's saloon."
"No ma'am'" replied the boy. But the
very injunction proved a temptation. The !
serious way in which his mother treated tbe
matter, magnified it in his thoughts, and
kept it before him.
On his way home from school, one of bis
companions said :
"I've got some money ; let's have a glass
of beer at Isett's. It's a splendid place "
"I can't go there," replied Henry.
"Why can't you?" (
"Mother won't let me."
"Poohl She'll never know anything about
it. Come along."
Henry still hesitated, but his companion
urged, and at length he weakly yielded.
The thought of her son bad not bsen ortt
of Mrs. Bell's mind all the morning. She
felt that he was in danger, and her heart
trembled for his safety. She noted the
hours as they passed, and after the clock
struck twelve waited in nervous impatience
for-Henry to come homo. After ten or fif
teen minutes had passed, she grew restless,
and a feeling ot vague concern crept into
her heart. What if he had disobeyed her,
and gone to Isett's saloon ?
It was half past twelve when Henry came
in, entering quietly by the back door. But
Mrs. Bell's ears were quick to detect the
sound of his feet.
"Henry," she called from ttie sitting
room. lie answered -and came in wlicre she
was. Mrs. Ball's keen eyes detected some
thing wrong in his face.
"What has kept you so late?" she asked.
"I stopped at Will Marshall's to look at
his rabbits," he answered, covering his dis
obedience with a falsehood.
As he said this, Mrs. Bell caught the odor
of beer on his breath.
"You've been at Isett's!" she exclaimed
sharply, aud with such confidence in her ac
cusation, th,it the boy's self control . forsook
him, and he turned his crimsoning face and
guilty eyes away, not venturing to stammer
a denial.
"And thi, after what I said to you when
you started for school," said Mrs. Bell, in
mingled anger ana distress.
"John Toiand coaxed me," murmured the
boy.
John Toiand! Does he go to your school !"
"Yes ma'am. He sits next to me."
A dark shadow, as of some great impend
mt evil, fell over the inotner. one was
- r - '
frightened.
"1 shall tell your father of this," she said
in a helpless kind of way.
"Father goes there himself; I've seen
him every day," replied the boy, gauiiug
some courage. "Any how he owns the house,
and let's Mr. Isett have it ; and I dou't see
that it can be such dreadful bad place."
Mrs. Bell was confounded aud silent The
visit of her neighbor on the day before, and
the plain way in which she had spoken, had
startled and unnerved her. Her mind was
filled with a vague dread. Evil portent was
iu the very air. Now it began taking a def
inite shape. The pit, of which her neigh
bor had spoken, stood dark before her imag
ination, and she aaw the feet of both son and
husband on the crumbling brink.
Well for her and well for thorn, if that pit
and crumbling brink had only been things o
imagination. Alas for her, and alsoforthem,
that they were more than figures of speech 1
A few years, and the neighbor's prophecy
that she would rue the day the house on Elm
and River streets had been rented for a bar
room, was sadly fulfilled. Husband and son
were in the pit ; how many more had stum
bled over the uncertain brink wecannot tell ;
but many, ah, too many ! had goue to ruin
over the threshold of that new end attrac
tive saloon.
Four hundred dollars a year in six years
amounted to the sum of $2,400. So much
gained I And what was lost ? Let us see !
We look in upon Mrs. Bell, and find her
sitting alone. Her face is greatly changed.
Six years make, usually, but light impres
sions on a woman at her time of life ; but
here the change is striking, and sad to be
hold. There are lines of trouble all over
her faded countenance. Her eyes are heavy
and have a dreary expression. The room iu
which she was sitting has a neglected air,
and the furniture looks worn and faded.
There is something in the atmosphere of the
place that suggests ill fortune.
She rises and goes to the window, where
she stands looking out, her face expectant,
but anxious. She starts, then leans her ear
to listen. A voice breaks on the air, in a
few words of a familiar song. Her face prows
pale, and she sinks into a chair.
"Then merrily, merrily sing !"
The voice "is thick and maudlin. She
hears the door open, and stumbling feet in
the room below. It is her son Henry. Six
years gain of $400 a year, and this loss!
And if this were all I But it is not. Her
son has followed in the father's footsteps.
The new saloon thrown in his daily path to
business, had proved too strong an allure
ment for Mr. Bell. Public sentiment had
been against him, and setting himself in op
position to public sentiment, he had iu the
beginning given countenance to Mr. Isettby
frequent visits to his new saloon, and when
ever he went there he drank, of course. He
went, alas! too often. Ere he dreamed of
danger, the fatal appetite was formed, and
his feet were going down into the pit. Neg
lectof business came, as it always comes in
cases like this, and at the end of six years
Mr. Boll was a sinking instead of a rising
an.
It took but'a few more years to complete
the work of ruin. In due time the house at
Elm aud River streets passed, by sheriff's
sale, into other hands. Then one piece of
property after another went out of his pos
session. In less than ten years from the
time that Mrs. Bell, tempted by her love of
money, urged her husband to rent their new
house for a drinking saloon, he found her
self in poverty, with a drunken husband and
a vagabond son ; a sharer in the sad evils
she had been instrumental in bringing upon
her neighbors.
A Canadian lady having caught a trou
blesome rat in a trup, determined upon hav
ing some sport with it. She took the trap
into the sitting room, called in a terrier,
opened the trap, jumped upon a chair, and
the fun commenced. The rat first whipped
the dog, and then made away with a tame
raccoon, which the lady called to her assis
tance, then fought another dog and a broom
for an hour and filteen minutes, and finally
escaped through the window.
A correspondent avers that while passing
a Female College, where young ladies go to
"receive the last touch of grace, and grace
fulness," a feeble lady hanging on her hus
band's arm was cheerily saluted from a
groop ot misses in the yard with "Say!
what arc you holdin' ou to his arm for ? He
ain't a goin' to run off." Then in the words
of Artemus Ward, they all remarked "tee-
hee." lie thinks they must have nearly
finished their education.
A French lady, on her arrival in this
country, was careful to eat only such dishes
a she was acquainted with, and being, on
one occasion asked to partake of adish,uew
to her, she politely replied, "no, I thank
you, I eat only my acquaintances." She
thought she had expressed herself in admi
rable English.
Some boys at Fort Dodge, Iowa, played
European war. The "Prussians" burned
a haystack behind which the "French" had
taken refuge, and dislodged them. The
owner of the haystack say be doesn't know
much about this war business, but he'd like
to see the man that pays for his fodder.

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
npper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat, and
consisting of three parts, viz : the Anterior, the
Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tie
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. Tb exte
rior is a conductor also, terminating in a single
tube, and called the Ureter. The areters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of Tanous coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, vix: tbe Upper, ta
Lower, tbe Nervous, and tbe Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to
nrinate without the ability, others urinate with
out 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 va
rious functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sura to affec
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
Gout, or Rheumatism. Psin occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomaoh and
oil alky concretions. "
Toe Gravel. 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.
Deopsv is a collection of water in some. parts of
the body, and bcarsjdifferent names, accoiding to
tbe parts affected, viz : when generally diffused
over tbe body.it is called Anasarca ; when of tbe
Abdomen, Ancite; when of the chest, llyJrotho
rax. Treatment. Hclmbeld's highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and gouty
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Dysurie, or difficulty atd pain in passing water.
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent dischar
ge of water; Strangury, or stopping of water;
Hematuria, or bloody urine ; Gout and Rheuma
tism of the kidneys, without any change in quan
tity, but increase in color, er dark water. It was
always highly recommended by the late Dr.
Physick, in thee affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion
and exoites the absorbent into bealthy exercise
by which the watery or calcareous depositions
and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain
and inflammation are reduced, and it is taken by
men, women and children. Directions for use and
diet accompany.
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25, 1S67.
II. T, Helmbold, Druggist:
Deak Sib: I nave been a sufferer, far upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I bave nsed various
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment ef the most eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief.
Having seen your preparation i extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I bad used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and bad found them worthless,
andsome quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to ose no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
Ai you advertised that it was composed of buchu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and.
ith his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and consulting again with the druggist, 1
concluded 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 astonish
ed 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 caw
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore eoncluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect 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 tbe remedy for five mouths.
I have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Tour Bachu being devoid ot any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system, I do Hot mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections
