OYER AND OVER AGAIIT.
Over and over aputo.
No matter which way I tarn,
I always find in the Book of Life,
Some lessons I huv to learn.
I must take ray turn svt the mill.
I must grind out the golden grain,
I nmst work at niy lak with a resolute wiil,
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
Oi' even t!ie tiniest flower.
Nor cheek the flow of the golden sail Js
That run through a single hour.
B'Jt the morning dew must fall:
And the sun and the summer rain
Mu-t do their part and perform it
Over and over again.
Orr and over a sain
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over a train
The pond'n us miiUwhrc! goes.
Once doinp will not fuTico,
Ihousrh d ng be not in vain ;
And a blesMnr, failing us once cr twice,
May come if we try again.
The path that ha? on?e I een trol
Is never so rotiiih to fuef ;
And the lesson we once have learned
I never s-. hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall.
An 1 the heart to its depth be driven
AVi'h storm and tensest, we need ihoui all
To render us fit fur heaven.
A LAUREL BLOSSOM.
''A charming face, indeed I so triiht t-ml
bat.ij. Who is she, Mrs. limliei toi-.i ?''
"Mary Morrison one of our viil.-ua
lell.-s."
"And like tno?t belles soniewh;it of a

"Indeed, I never thought so until Wo.

"It is a shame. I'm sure we have ('n

whom she has known but a week !''
" I ' 1 1 rich and so hands.ji.ie," said an ithi r
young lady. "A city he.-m, too. Quite a
distinction in our rustle community," she
added, laughingly.
"Not worth Hugh Shu-lev. r.y hi!f. A
mere fashionable coxcomb, I dare s:iy. I
atn surpri-ed that a girl so sond and .sensi
ble as Mary Monisjn would aot so."
"iVir Mr. Shirley ! One may sco how
cut up he is about it."
Hugh Shirley, seated a little opart from
the group of pic ii'ekers, and concealed by
the intervening shrubs, had heard every
word of this conversation. He now ro.-e
and walked slowly away, but first I x.ked
bac-k to where M iry Mo rri.n was seated on
a mossy rock, smiling and chattinu with her
new admirer a Mr. Weston, "from the

Hiieli Shirley turned away w'tli a sharp

piesv,vl h.is lips and walked on wit'a a iLtii,
Ut'(-rivint'd step.
"I wiil at once," Le muttered to himself
r .Itit.-ly.
V.luri out of sight of the f-t of the

-she happened to he standing closer to
kini at the moment than the others,
"la that ra fault, Mary?" he replied in
a low tone to ber remark.
She turned upon him, her cheeks flushed,
her eyes flashing through halt tears.
"I, at least, tir, do not seek lor other's

Despite the indignation, there waa some
thing of reproach, in her look and tone,
that sent a thrill of hope to Hush's heart.
' Stay a moment," be said quietly, per
ceiving the attention of the others directed
towards them, "and you f-bail have your
laurel. "
"I don't care for it. I won't inconve
nience you "
Bu! luh was already picking his way
over the yi irshy ground, and the next mo
ment was halt way up the tall and slender
laurel tree, which bent beneath his weight.
Reaching up to the topmo?t bnujjh he drew
it downward, and broke off the coveted
laurel blossom, and with it descend d. As
his foot touched the cromid. an idea oc
curred to him. lie took from his vest
pocket th-3 slip of paper on which he bad
written a few moments previously, seized

Then he carefully, though with trembling
Sngers, separated the pme white, half un
folded petals of the laurel blo.-sonis, de
posited the folded paper within, closed
over it the pads, and j laced it in Mary's
hand.

low to be heaid by the others, and this time
careless of their observation. "Look with

When Mary reached the old farm house,
close by. at which the picnic supper and
d;;ne? w:;s to be lipid, she wen: up directly
to a httle dres-itig ro uj one of th several
appropriated "to the ladies." Here she
ras jilca.-ed to f-nd herself alone, the first,
one of the returning walking-party She
boiled the door and threw hcr-elf upon a
couch. "She looked excited, angry, grieved,
do'iaut, ail in one.
"To neglect me so," she said to herself,
passionately. "To become jealous, and
doubt me and neirlect me. as he h:.s done,
ever since Mr. Weston thought proper to
pay me some attention. What could I do
but to pretend not to care? And the impu
dence oi this last insult ! 'Liink rritlila.
il Lrnrs n s'-rrrf nt hrnrt ' Yes, of
course as if I had forsottnn what we read
in that Book of Flowers about my favorite
laurel. The emblem was am-dtion and he
said 'j uin without, but wiih the drop of
poi-on at iu hesrt.' That was what he
meant, just now, of course. Insolent 1"
She threw the laure! blossom angrily from
her, and burst into tears. These apparently
calmed her, for, when she presently rose,
she linked half remorseful at t ho flower,
lying broken and brui-cd on the floor. She
took it up, looked at it sadly, uutil the
tears came into her eyes,
yet I know ho tnves nie. after all. It
will, it mn.it come riht in the end. I will
let him se this evening that I djri't care
for Mr. Vetnn."
She pressed the flower carefully amid
some fuld.i of paper, and placed it in her
bosom.
"I wLh I had not broken it so that he
might, have seen me wear it this evening.
But i will tell him, and sometime when we
arc happier, I will show him how carefully
1 kept it."
Lluh Shirley was standing at the door of
the dancing rootn :fs she entered. She wore
in her hair the cluster of wild roses that had
been given to her by Mr. Yeste-, but there
was no laurel there. As she .as-ed him
there eyes for a miuule met. He was pain
and his lace wore a si ill, stern expression,
such a-'- she. bad never seen there before.
(:w;ous of her oin changed feelings to

t.'aiiibniia and this without a word, a mes
sage, a token of farewell to herself.
For sonie weeks after this Mary Morrison
went in.'o i-o.'i. ty, -ti l appeared as gay as
usual. But then her cheek paled, a. id her
spirits-V.rooped, and there followed a Ions
spell of sickness from the ejects of which
she did not. appireni !y recover during the
winter. Ar. i though the toilovvius : summer
found her restored to health, her old gay
sj.ii it had ieit her. The bright thoughtless
gni bad, in le.-s than a year, matured into
the .piiet, thoughtful Woman. Many ad
mired the change, and suitors were nut wan
ting to attest the povver of her attractions ;
yet she gave lueoi no encouragement. "I
c-ainot love any man wcil eno;:.di to become
his wife," she sal i, "aud I wid not marry
vi'lio'iclove."

friends 'h it business would require his pres

Mary Morrison kicw when I.e. ea:-ie, and
it v:a noticed ilut she staved away from
i-huivh ;n(. next Sunday. Yet avoid hiin as
she v.o ii 1, they could not help meeting.
Very quiet was the interview very cold,
even thoe present thought it. A lew po
lite inquiries, a few ccmitn a place remarks,
an 1 a perfectly composed demeanor on both
dees this was all. It was plain to be seen
that each was perfectly iiidliTerent to the
other. .
Several times ogam they met, with even
le.s interchanged ren ark than on the first
interview. CMUie Jicopie uioucui inai men;
must even exist a feeling of dislike between
them.
One evenin? when it would have been twi
light but for the full moon, Mary Morrison
stood leaning upon the gate of her front gar
den, enjoying the beauty of the hour, and
the sweet breath of the flowers around her.
The house stood at the end of the village
street, iust where it commenced to be a
pretty, shady country road, and few passen
gers passed here at this hour.
Suddenly, as she leaned pensively on the
gate, the sound of an approaching step caus
ed her to start. The thick laurel hedgecon
ce:led the person, hut she knew by some
rare instinct that the step was that of Hugh
Shirley ; and the next moment he stood be
fore her.
On seeing her he lifted his hat and seem
ed inclined to pass on," as Mai f hoped he
would ; but this under the circumstances
would have seemed rude so he hesitated,
and finally stopped, with a common place
remark abrut the beauty ot tho evening.
lle looked very handsome as he stood there
a ta-ll dark man, bearded and moustached,
witli his brown brow bared to the evening
breeze. So Mary thought. What ether
thoughts she had, or what were hisTTtumghts
of her we cannot tell, but after a time al
most silence fell between the two, though
flush' still lingered.
He made cn effort to break the constraint.
"The laurel is still your favorite I. per
ceive," he observed, glancing at the shrubs,
whose glossy green leaves and pure white
blossoms gleamed brightly in the moonlight.
".Yes," she answered simply and coldly.
For this allusion brought back the recollec
tion cf that evening, ten years ago, when
she ha.l last s,een him ; and the gift of liic
laurel blossom ; the cold cruel parting.
"And I," he answered, "of a'l the flow
ers and trees on earth most dislike the lau
rel." She made no answer, but lifted her eyes
as if expecting h'ni to give a. reason.
"Because," he continued, in a low voice,
"because I cannot forget how the fortune of
my whole iife oneo depended upon a little
laurel llo-sotn aud how 1 iost it."
, There was just the faintest tinge of bit
tfrness in his tone; yet ho looked down
v.-rli calm, co!i eys into lier own as he
spoke.
"How was it?" she asked.
"Have you then forgotten ? Has it all
had ev:n I, so eulirely passed away from
your memory ?"
"If it is this you allude to," said Mary,
slightly coloring in the moonlight, and speak
ing yet more Coldly, "1 remember you gir
ing me a laurel blossom on the evening when
I Inst. saw you at. the picnic."
"Yes a l-uirel blossom. So slight a
thing to be 4 he arbiter of man's fate. A
laurel blossom which you refused to wear."
"I did not refuse. I I I did not know
that you wished me to wear it," she rejdiod
in embarrassment.
"But the paper the note."
"What note what paper?"
Ills eyes grew suddenly larger and bright
er as he looked down into hers iu the dark
ness. "Mary !" he said, quickly and hoarsely,
"there was a note concealed wkhiu that
flower. Bid you not know it ? 1 reijucsted
you to look."
She stood breathless and very pule. Slow
low there dawned upon his consciousness
the shadow of a great calamity a great
mtalnke which h:-.d hung like a cloud over
their two iives.-
"I did not know it'" she murmured, lal
terinely.
'Oh, Mary!" What a bitter pain, what
an eager, treuiuling joy was thjie in those
two words.
"Come with me," she said. And he fol
lowed her into the house.
She unlocked a little rose woid cabinet
which stood in the jiarlor, and opened a lit
tle drawer within. From this she took a
little box, containing some tissue paper,
which she 'infolded and there lay the black
ened and dried leaves of a laurel blossom.
"This is what you gave me," said she.
"I put it away as you see it , on that night,
and have never touched it since."
"Leek within," he said.
She tremblingly parted the withered pe
tals. Yes, there was something wiiliin a
narrow slip of paper, closely folded, stained
and old, ; et on which she could trace the
words written ten years before.
"Oh !" she cried passionately. "If I hr-d
but known this !"'
"Would you have worn the fl jwer, Ma
ry?" he asked, as anxiously as if his fate
still depended upon it.
Sh i only bowed her herjj upon her ban Is.
but he on! 1 see the ll.ish upon her fo-ehesd
and temples.
"Look ac me, Mary look up and answer
inc."
She raised her eyes. hitron v''-h frnrs.
Never in her early youth had she looked so
beau'iful as now.
"We have suffered for ten yesrs through
n mistake, a misunderstanding. Is it tot
late to make the rest of our live happy?"
We need not record her answer.
According to Contract;
People who have built houses for them
selves, and iu the never varying experience
of all overrun the contractor s estimate,
may find some consolation iu tho fact that
there was one man who had his house
built exactly as he ordered it, and didn't
al'er a line of his original plan, or overrun
the original contract price.
This was a peppei y old sea-captain, who

he would charge to buiid a l.oUse exactly j

"But, Captain," said the k:::.iht of the '

"Ioo'c bui me," exploded the Captain.
"I want the hou-o accoiding to my plan."
"Certainly," Soid Shavings, "but you wid
not let mo put in " -.
"Not one single thing," roared the Cap
tain. "I pay you t buiid the house exact
ly as I have di awn the plan. I won't have
anything put iu ; obey orders if you break
owners."
"Very well, so bo it," said Shavings,
...l.r.r not!r... rise rricf was fixed lor
a dwelling according to plan, to be finished j
in six months' tiuie, and the Captain sailed ;
away. Ititurnii.g home, he was waited on
by ih i builder, and the new mansion visited.
Its exterior was quite correct, pretty greon
blinds, front door, with trellis, all complete,
and so were liist floor, entry and rooms.
"And now," said he, "we will go uj to the
chambers."
"All right," said Shavings, "coiuc out
side to the ladder."
"Outside ! wny, Chips, what d'ye mean
by that? 1 want to go up stairs."
'"Can't do that, sir; there are no stairs."
"No stairs!" exclaimed the astonished
mariner, '"no stairs?"
"No, indeed, replied the linperturaoie
builder, "you refused to let me have a single
thing not down in the plan, and that con
tained no stairs. 'Obey orders, if you break
owners.'" - .
The captain was fairly caught, for in his
drawing he had utterly forgottcu this im
jiortant portion 'of his dwelling ; and his
peppery temper had prevented the carpen
ter from pointing it out to him. Since then,
it is said, the captain always gets in a pas
sion when any one stares at lam.

We want no gold. Great Britain ;
The score now on our slate,

Can ever liquidate.
There are char'd timbers lying,
Upon the ocean's floor;

And many a stately vessel.

That once sailed from oir sea ports,
By Yankee sailors manned.

The lollowing letter lroiu Kev. Father
Fariell, was read before the recent Italian
Unity meeting, New York :
St. Joskpii's, .tan. 12, 1ST1.
TntvDDOitF. BoosKVKI.T l.'citr Sir: I
regret that I cannot be present at the meet
ing in favor of ii iliati Unity. Italy divi
ded has long been the prey of the foreigner.
As I would not like to see foreign soldiers
on my own native soil, nor would I consider
it an evidence of the contentment and hap
piness of the people, so 1 would not wish
to see Italy occupied by foreign troops ; nor
could 1 consider their presence there as an
evidence of the contentment of the people..
According to the old theory and practice of
hhiropcan nations, people may be given and
taken away without their consent. All that
must be chanced before the people can be
contented.' They must own themselves.
Standing armies muft be abolished. Navies
also, except a few vessels furnished by each
ua: ion for the protection of commerce on
the high se;rs, must be got rid of. It is a
monstrous injustice to tax and oppress peo
ple beyond endurance, to gratify the policy
and ambition of kings.
How long ignorauce will keep people from
seeing bow easily they might get rid of their
grievances, and the cause ot them.it is hard
to tell ; but I am convinced that it cannot
be long. Thouch it is not for me to predict
what the destiny of united. Italy will be.still
i do not boliuve that nlie wiil flop where nlie
is. Tin y hivo yet a creat deal to learn and
practice. The people of the' OKI World
don't understand what equality before the
law means; for, if they did, they would
soon gt rid of aristocracy by inheritance or
patent, which, like caste, is the greatest
curse of the world.
The pcojile, too, of every country and of
every creed, have so long been persecuted
on account of religion that (hey do not un
derstand our th :o.y and our p.-a.itica of civil
and religious lioerty. When they come to
understand and practice it the world over,

John B. Mcfjrath, E-q., of Naw York
city, Upon reading the h-lter of Kev. Far
rell, in the Tiihunf, wrote to the editor of
that, paper the following t
To the EJitorof the Tribune Dear Sir:
Even the tuitd spirit of liberality pervading
this letter was repugnant to some of the
Catholic powers ol. this city, audit was re
sulved that Father Farrcli must be removed.
Outside and I have coed grounds for be
lieving political liili'.ience was brought to
bear on Aichbi. hop McCiO: key, arid he smu
mojied his toulcil to try the case. Feeiing
the unusual importance of the subject, the
Archbishop called in as additional council
Fathers Kiley of St. Mary's Church, Curran,
ot Andrews, and Lyn:ieUei', of St. Mi
chaels, i'no result was a vote iu favor of
removing Father Fairell from his church,
the three outside counsellors voting unani
mously lo.- the motion. Father Farrell re
ceived a note from the Bishop last Tuesday
informing him ot the action of the council,
and informing him thatjie must retract or
be removed, lie Kill tint retract.
Father F;.rre!l was nlaeed over St. Jo
seph's Church some fifteen years ago, sue
ceeuing FatherMcCarron. The church was
then heavily in debt. L'nder his enicLuit
management it bus become independent, and
is now a large owner o! real estate, and in a
better condition thau any church in the city.
All this has been accomplished without
pressing tho people in any way lor money,
and solely by the no: le lessons of truth, lib
erality, and progress which he has taught.
I. as a member or his church and congrega
tion, an Irishman and a t aiholic, born in
Catholicity, while admitting the prerogative
of the Bishop to remove any pries t, with or
without cause, beg to enter my protest not
so much against his removal as the cause
which has led lo an event so much to be de
ployed by all true Catholics and lovers of
liberty the world over; namely, the free ex
ercise and expression ot his opinions on the
present political position of Home and Italy.
It matters not whether 1 agree with Father
Farrell's opinions or not. the right which I
claim lor myself ol giving expression to my
opinions, I will ever insist on for others, as
a Catholic. In this instance, I fully agree
with Father Farrell. What is the opinion
of a priest worth, if he is to be punished
aud persecuted for givinsr it expression ?
A few days ago New York turned out to
do honor to tho Fenian exiles, their sole
virtue being an adherence to principle and
the faith that was in them, and because
they ojiposed the views and policy of the
rowers that be, they were incarcerated in
British prisons. To day a man remarkable
lor his piety, his age, his sanctity, his learn
ing all that adorns the Christian minister
is f truck down at our feet for an act in
every respect similar. How lone is the en
lightened spirit of the Nineteeth Century
to continue pandering to such narrow bigo
trv and prejudice as this? Youw faith

THE KIDXEYS,
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at tho
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat and
e in.-istitg of three parts, vii : the Anterior, tb
Interior, 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. Tbe exte
rior is c conductor also, terminating in a. single
tute, and called the I'retcr. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, via: the I'pper, th
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper
c.Tpels. the lower retains. Mary have a desire ta
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently occurs
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ao-'
t:n the muc!es, whieh are engaged in their va
rious functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
Tbe reuder niut also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affeo
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and tlood are supported from these sources.
Goirr, ok KnEi iijtisk Ptin occurring in ths
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and
chalky concretions.
The Gravel. Tbe gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys These er
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.
JDsorsr is a collection of water in some parts of
the body, and beara'diiferent Dames. according tar
the parts affected, vix: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of tbe
Abdomen, Asciteh ; when of the chest, Uydrotho
rax. Trsatucbt. Helmbold's highly concentrated
compound Extract Euchu is decidedly one of th
test remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rteumatisui,and gouty
affections. L'nder this head we have arranged
Dvsurie, or difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent dischar
ges of water; Strangury, or stopping of water;
Hematuria, or bloody mine; Oout 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 tLe lata Dr.
1'bvsick, in these affections.
This medicine increases tho power cf digestion
and excites the absorbents info healthy exercise
by whieh the watery or calcareous depositions
and all nnnatnral 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, 1867.
II. T. HeLUBOLi), Pruggir t:
Dear Sir: I 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 been under tbe 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 liuchu.
I did this because 1 had nsed all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and eonie quite injurious ; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting will, and determined to nse no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this tbat prompted me to use your remedy.
As yon advertised that it was composed of buchu,
iubebs end juniper berries, it occurred to tneand
uiy phjsician as an excellent combination, and,
ith his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and consulting again with the druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its nse about
eight mouths ago, at which time I was confined
to niy room From the rst bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the hci;cficia! effect and after
using it three weeks was able to walk ont I felt
much like writing you a full statement of my case
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect care,
knowing then ic would be of greater value to yon
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a care is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used 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 nice tonijacd invigoratorof the
system. I do not mean to be without it whenever
eccasion may require its use in such affections.
