The gray, unresting sea, Adown the bright and melting ehoro, Broking in untold memory, Makes music evermore. Like as in cloistering pi!e., Rich bursts of massive sounds upswell ; Ringing along dim-lighted aisles, Wilh a spirit-trnncirg spell. Soon the surf-white strand. Chants of deep peal the sea-waves raise, Like voices from a viewless land. Hymning a hymn of praise. By times in thunder notes. The blooinfug billows shoreward sarge; By times a silver laugh it float; ; fly times a low. soft d irge. Men change, and -'cease to be."' And Frapires rise, and grow, and fall ; But the weird music of the sea L'ves and outlives tbeu: all. The mystic song shall last Till time itself no more shall be ; Till seas and shores have pass'd Lost in eternity. WHAT CAME IN THE STORM. "Mother dear, I cannot leave you. Iel dc unpack my truuk am remain at home. I can find some-thin.: to do here." "Y'ou had Letter go. Ellen." The moth er spoke the--.? words in a low tone, and with her face turned away from her child ; and it was plain to be seen she had been Freaking as Le had schooled hor.-elf to speak not from the impulses (if the heart, but from the dictates ot nv-sity. .Mary Anderson was a middle-aged wo man, slight of frame ; from whoae pale, care-worn face the traces of rare beauty were not yet obliterated. Her daughter resembled her, not only in form and Jeature, but also in the expression of care and toil which cast its shadows over her face. They 'ived alone in the humble cot, just out from the village, and for years? their daily bread had been earned by constant labor. Ellen hail learned to work when a mere prattlinsr child, and a she grew older her busy hands found employment in many useful ways. And now, at the age of fifteen, she had made arrangements to go away from home and work anions; strangors. Her few clothes Y.fi been packed into a small trunk, and the stage was to call for her the followiug morn ing. It was in early winter and the day had len cold and drear. A the gnn went down the snow besran to fall, and by the time the night had set in the storm was raging furiously. " fehal! be lonesome and unhappy away from you, my dear mother," said Ellen, clinginjr to her parent's side. "The storm hns set heavily upon your spirits, niy child," returned Mrs. Anderson. She arose and put more wood upon the fire and when the blaze leaped once more up the wide chimney she resumed her seat, and for some minutes no further words were spoken. Finally Ellen drew more closely to her mother's side, and taking both her hands she said : ''Mother, if I must leave in the morning, you must tell me the story which you prom ised I should hear before I went av.ij" Mrs. Anderson clu.-ped her bands upon ' her bosom, and bowed hor head till her face was hid in shadow. "l'ear mother, I do not mean to pain you; but 0, I must know something of my fath er before t 0 out into the world. The doubts r f uncertainty are more lerdensome thai; a knowledge of the truth c:n possibly be. It he even was gui'iy of " "Hush, my child." and as the mother thus spoke, she put forth her hand and rested it upon her daughter's head. "I will tell you this story. If I knew your lather was d'-ril I would let the grave hide the sad record ; but I do not know it." The storm was increasing in fury, and as the driven snow came piling about the win dows, and the chill wind creeping through cracks and crannies1, tho mother and child drew nearer to the lire and thiidd:Ted as some giant blast hurled its load of snow u: on the quivering panes. "(), Ellen, it was on such anight as this, thirteeti years ago. The storm was ridirg in the heavens and the whisu snow was driv ing upon the earth ! It was on such a night that your father kit us ! "Ellen, you are to go away to- lu.irrow, nn l jbS we dor. i know what m;iy happen be yond this I shail fell you all ahout your lather. It w.-.a't in many 'vm-ds, darling, and if . , ,3:,it you will fiuJ it might have been wor. . 1 We aud twenty years ago (here was not nnothe- v.u i.t i,KUl jn aJ this section so generally liked !.r his social and generous f'i::ht,cs as ras Thomas Anderson. He was the ve-y picture of mtin'.y be:iuty,and a type o! ali that was devoted. When I became his wii I was t-iv'.c-i Ly my friends ; and I certainly felt proud and hap.j y. Fur two years our life passed in joy and sunshine and not a cloud rested upon us. A little cherub had come to ble.ss us, whom we named Freddy ; :.n 1 I think Thomas held that lit tle one in his heart as something heavenly and sacred. But the boy died and sorrow C3me upon us. My husband had always been tree to drink wine when be pleased, llu-ugh until now I had never seen him dis guised in liquor. "Freddy died in June and In September following Thomas was thrown out of work by the failure of the company who had etn pl"jed him not only thrown out of work, but he lost much money which be had in vented in the concern. The long, cold win- ter passed, and he had no work to do ; and during that winter you were born. In the spring he had work again on a large mill which was being built in an adjoining town, and through the warm months he was steady at his work, though I could see that the habit of drain drinking was growing upon him. When the will was done he was out of work again, and again through the long winter he was out ot employment. He sank very low very low! Summer came again and he worked some ; but tho evil habit was upon hitn so strong that he became wholly its slave. One night just such a night as this when the wind blew, aud the driving snow filled and chilled the air he came home sadly intoxicated. Rum had made your father crazy, and he swore because yoii were not in bed; and when you began to cry he snatched you from my arms I started forward to grasp you from him and he struck me a blow that felled me to the floor. How long I remained I do not knew. Wheu I returned to consciousness I was up on my bed ; you were upon my pillow by my side, and some of the neighbors were bending over me. The story was soon told. Our neighbors heard the cry of my child and came in, finding me udou the fl jor.with my husband bending over me, trying to re vive me, while the bf.be lay on the hearth. Other help was. Grilled, and when it was known that. I was out of danger, Thomas left the house. They told me. darling, that he bent over me and kissed nie kissed me wice kissed, and groaned as though in pain and anguish, and then he went away he went out into the storm, Ellen, out into just such a storm as this thirtaen yeahs aga, and I have never seen him since." "And you have never heard from him?" "Never a word, my child." "Don't cry so, mother." "O, I cannot help If. Alas, my previous child, tears are my only solace when this subject occupies my mind." "But you have forgiven him?"' "Forgiven him ! how could I refrain ! lie kissed ire when he went away ! He was broken down and lost. He struck his wife, and dared not meet her again," "Perhaps," whispered Ellen, "He died in the storm." "I have thought it might be so, darling, but his body was never found. Hark ! n hat was that?" "I heard nothing, mother." "There it is again! Tid vou net hoar that?" "It is the howling of the blast ; you are frightened." "No.no,Ellen, I am not frightened; but I may have been deceived. It is verv cold." "I would not put more wood on now, mother. Let us go to bed." "Not yet, darling. I shall not sleep when this sto.m is howling. 0 it was on just such a night as this. Hark! Did you hear that?" "l'es," replied the daughter starting to her feet, "Somebody knocked at our door. And there it is again. Let me go." Thus speaking, Ellen took the candle and Cent to the outer door ; but when she open ed it the furious blast swept in, bringing a cloud of snow and extinguishing the light. As the moved bick, and brushing the snow from her eyes, some one came into the en try and closed the door, thus shutting out tho storm. "I am a stranjjer.iady." sai l a deep. gruff voice; . "and I have lost my way in the storm." "Cotrie in, sir," she replied. "Come in where it is warm." "If you can give hie shelter for the night I will rapay you well. I cannot go further in this storm," he said. "Good .sir." said Mrs. Anderson, moving a chair hear the fire as she spoke, "yon are f reely welcome. My daughter will take your coat, .-,ir ; and when you are warm you shall have refreshments. Our pay will be in the knowledge lHat we have helped you. Are you ill ?" "No, no, mndard, I am very murh fa tigued. I have had a hard battle with the storm." "Can you tell rrte," he said, after he had warmed his hands, "if a woman named An derson lives hereabouts?" "My name is Anderson, sir." "Mrs. Mary Anderson?" "Yes sir." "Ah! am I so near the object o? lay search? I have a message for Mary Ander son. I promised, months ago, when in a far distant land, that I would find her if I could, and that I would give her a message from" "I'tom ivhrfm?" asked the hostess, trem bling and holding her breath. "I think." replied the stranger, again spreading his hands out towards the fire, "that he was once a friend of your's, as he has since been a friend of mine. Thomas Andtfrsrin his name was. Do you remember him?" The woman bowed her head upon her folded hands, and as she seemed ready to sink, her daughter hastened to her side. "No, no, Ellen, I am strong dot. Go and sit down. The shock is past. He lives!" A little while afterwards Mary Anderson rai -ed her head, and spoke to. the stranger again. As she had told her child the shock hsd passed, and she had gained control of herself. "Thomas Anderson was my husband, sir." "So he told me, ma'am." "You said you have seen him. Where ?" "In a far-off land, wheri the noon day sun rides, high in the heavens while it is midnight here." "You said you had a messaee from him." ' "Yes, lady." "Give it to me. Oh, tell mo what he said." The stranger put his hands out again to the fire, arid his frame quivered as though he were cold. In a few moments he said : "Thomas Anderson told me bis story told it with tears running down his cheeks, and with many bitter sobs. He told me how he left bU wife and iufant child how he had sank from bad to worse, and how in a moment of madness, he struck his faithful companion to the floor. When he saw what he had done fear aud remorse seized upon him, and when his neighbors had come in, and he saw his wife in better hands than his, he fled from his home. Shame and dread drove him on, and by the time the f mad fire had gone out of his veins he found himself in A place where great chips came and went. He resoived that he would be a man again if he lived ; but he dared not return to his home until he could carry with him some proof of his sincerity. He went in a ship bound for India, and he meant when he had grown strong, to write home cheering words to his wife. But it was not to be so. In the Iudian Ocean the ship was cast away upon a strange Island, and he with three others, the only ones saved of the crew, remained three years. Finally a Spanish trader picked them up, and once more they were cast upon the African coast, where two more years were spent. At that time Anderson was picked up by an English ship, bound for Australia. He landed in Melbourn, where he remained until I got ready to leave him. He has been a man he has done well and if he knew that hia w'ue had forgiven him, and that she would let Him come home ; he would spend the rest of . his life in trying to make some atone ment for the past.'' "O, sir," cried Mary Andersen, clasping her hands and weeping while she spoke, "you don't know how good and noble he was before he suffered ! O, if he cdiild know how I Dave loved him how I have borne his image in my heart, forgiveD always he would not stay away." "But lady, Thomas Anderson will come back to you no longer poor. In the sand he has gathered for himself much wealth. He has gathered a sum that might seem al most fabulous to the honest people of this place gathered it not for himself no, no ; but for those whom he hoped to bless For his wife and child." "Come he rich, or come he poor come he to give me succor, or come he to be nursed in weakness and want if he only eowes with the love he pledged me in the bright morning of our youth, I will take him to my bosom and bless him with a wife' true- ofToefion." So spoko Mary Anderson ; and as the words fell from her hps the strong man star ted to his feet with his arms outstretched. A moment he stood thus, swaying to and fro, and then, as though all his life and strength had left him he sank down upon his knees, and covering his face with his hands, he sobbed aloud : "O, God ! Thus upon my knees how often have I prayid for this! uiy wife ! my child !" They were down by his side their arms were about him they called him husband and father and the bright fire-light shone l-pon their mingling tears. In the morning the storm was passed and the sun came brightly up. Late in the forenoon the stage came along the road with strone, busy hands and dug through the drifted snow ; but Ellen Anderson did not go away in it. And many suns arose, heam iug warm and brk'htly upon the bouse of Mary Anderson ; but the light and warmth from without was uothiug to the light aud warmth within. The love of the earlier time had been re hewed, aud the noon day of life turned to wards the evening wilh promise of joy made richer tnd more enduring by the stern trials c'f thi3 dark years which ended in the winter storm. A Laughable Incident. The train from Mobile to Jackson recently brought up a lot of oysters which was something never beore seen by some darkies present, who began to examine thetu with great as tonislitnent. "Whar he mouf ?" exclaimed one of the most inquisitive. "How utu eat, eh ? Gol ly ! I tiuks um nuffin 'cept a bone. Yah 1 yah!" he continued, laughing at his own wit. "I 'spec' S"iue white man tiuk nigga a fool when he call dat ting ister. " Just then he discovered an oyster slightly open, and seizing it he eyed itclos'fely. Not satisfied with this examination, he placed it td his nose ; but no fooner was that organ Inserted between the shells than they closed, when the dafltey howled with pain, and called out: "Pull utft off! pull um off!" But the more the oyster was pulled, Ihe more it would not let go j and so poor Cuf fee danced and yelled, his frantic efforts to rid himself of his uncomfortable nasal or nament, were both ludicrous and painful. '"Hit um with a stick," said a buxom wench ; and in a moment the oyster was knocked right and left with a hearty will, but Cuffee head went with it. "Pineh he tail;" cried a little nig, "and he sure let go." But there was no tail to pinch, and Cuffee seemed doomed to wear the oyster forever. At this moment an "intelligent contraband" whipped out a knife, and it soon severed the oyster. Cuffee looked at the shells with amazement, and finding the oyster tooth less, threw it away with the remark : "Um got no teef, but he gum it powerful !" The Number Seven. No one who reads the Scriptures can fail to notice the frequent occurrence of certain numbers ; and in both 'he Old and New Testaments we find that unusual promi nence is given to the number seven. The Old Testament opens with the crea tion of the world, which is said to have oc cupied six days, and the seventh was devo ted to repose ; and among the Jews the seventh year is also consecrated to the rest of the year, and is called the sabbatical year, and the seven times seventh year is styled the year of jubilee. It would be almost impossible to mention all the instances in which the number seven occurs in the Scriptures, but we will briefly notice a few of them, and perhaps some of our readers may be interested to search for themselves for a number which figures so conspicuously in the sacred writings, and to whose religious significance many scholarly minds have given much time and thought. In the Old Testament we have the seven days of the week ; we find also that in cer tain sacrifices the sprinkling of blood was repeated seven times; that a leprous house was closed for seven days, and afterward sprinkled severi times; the ennseerardi of the priests continued sOveri d iys ; the feast of the tabernacle la.'ed seven days, and children were not circumcised until they hr.d reached their seventh day. All are familiar with the story of Jacob, who served seven years each for Leah aal Ilichel. In Phar aoh's dreams, of which Joseph was the in terpreter, the number of seven as applied to the kine and the ears of corn, signified the seven years of plenty and of famine that were to come upon the land of Egypt. Seven years were required to conquor Canaan, and tho temple was seven years in building. Naaman was commanded to wash seven time in Jordan. In compassing the city of Jericho, seven priests, bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns, preceded the ark; they thes marched about the city seven days, and on the seventh day seven times. As a magical charm, Samson was bound with seven green withes, and seven locks of his hair were woven with the web. In the New Testament we have the seven baskets of fragments. In Matthew xviii., 21, 22, we read : "Then came Peter to him, and said. Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, nnd I forgive him ? Till seven times?" "Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee until seven times, but un til seventy timec seven." In the book of llevelation the number seven is used very frequently. There are seven churches of Asia, seven stars, seven golden cand'esticks, seven spirits of God, the latub with seven horns and seven eyes, the book V7 i 1 1 ovu Htsalts neven with seven trumpets, seven thunders, seven viils with seven last plagues, the earthquake destroying seven, thousand men, and the beast and the dragon having each seven heads. The witnesses prophesy in sackcloth the half of seven years, and lie unburied the half of seven years. From sacred history we pass to profane ; and 4ifn . large number of examples, we will mention the seven ages, tlie seven cham pions, the seven hills, the seventh son of the seventh son, the seven sleepers, the sev en wonders of the world, the seven stages of life (Shakespeare), and the seven wise men. In astronomy we have the seven stars called Pleiades, situated in the ne::k o! the constellation Taurus. Ye read of the seven-fold shield of Ajax of seveu fold rage ; and Milton says: . 0f every henst. and bird, nnd insect stnll, Came sevens and pairs." There is an ancient coupleti by ThotiiaS Ileywood, who lived in the seventeenth cen tury, which runs thus : "Seven cities warred for Homer, being dead. Who, living . had no rdiif to shield his head." It has been frequently sttted that severi is the number df hours that sliould be deves ted to sleep. Ve remember a little couplet on this point, which amused us in our child hood : ".Nature requires five, custom takes seven, Laziness nine, and wickedness eleven." Sir William Jones gives the safest coua rel in regard to this matter : "Seven hours to Sure, to soothing slumber seven. Ten to the world allot, an 1 all to Heaven." Seven is often used to indicate a great number as "seven times as many," "Sev en score," and "Double seven times ;" and to refer to tho Bible once more, we find in Proverbs this passage: "The sluggard is wiser in his own coneeit than seven men that can render a reason." Leaving the sober paths of sacred and profane history, we find that the number seven has also been popularly adopted iri (he field of wit aud humor; however we will give but one example, and that Li ah ancient riddle : '-As I was going to St Ives, t met seven wives ; Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack bad seven cats,, Each eat had seven kits. . -, JJow many were going tJ St ites?' Wrapped in its selfishness and devoted to its pleasures, little does Society know of the troubles which weigh dowa the spirits of its members little does it know the many hearts which never feel a ray of un shine, or of the gloom which thickens around some fair form until hands white and soft obey the suicide's will. Yet amid the giddy throng, there is many S heavy heart, many a fainting spirit which has borne bravely up until now and now despairs. Nearly all go unknown, urfpiued, their sad story un told. But like straws upon the ocean in lone time a few scraps of heart history will drift to us. Out West, when a notoriously lazy man is caught at work, they say he is meddling with industry. A Poor ClR.bencT. A correspondent of a New York paper, who has recently visited Hayti, writes as follows : As I stepped ashore at Port-au-Prince, I met an orange girl, and asked her the price of her fruit per dozen. She replied, "forty dollars." I mad J up my mind that that un fortunate young woman had escaped from a lunatic asylum, and I noticed a wild Icok about her eyes as I passed on, without say ing anything. But when a miserable, beg garly native took a message across the street fof me, and demanded only $400, I thought ii time to remonstrate, and I refused to give the audacious swindler anything, expressing my opinion of him in English, which he didu't understand. But when I saw a hat marked $2,000, a light beean to dawn upon me. I held lip a five dollar gold piece, and the shopkeeper took it, gave me the hat.and then shoveled out about a bushel of dirty "change." Then it was explained to mo that the currency of the country is a paper money, so depreciated that 500 or 600 gourdes, or dollars, of it are equal only to one dollar in hard money. The Island was flooded with it, and it has been so nearly worthless, at one time.that $10,iH)0 in paper iras equivalent to $1 in gold. After I had stuffei all my pockets and my hat with the change, I immediately paid the ill-used messenger his $100 with a few hundred thrown in, for having called hitn names in a language he didn't understand.

The first account we have of the cigar is in tho works of Na- varrette and Las Casas. and is quoted by Irving. In describing tho Em .oyiga of Columbiis he says: "They beheld several of the natives going about with fire brands in their hands and certaindried herbs which they rolled up in a leaf, nnd, lighting one end, put the other in their mouths, and con tinued inhaling and puffing out the smoke. A roll of this kind they called a tobaco, a name since transferred to the plant of which the rolls were made, thou!: that is the hatiie by which the cigar is to-day known in Cuba. Oviedo speaks of it (History Gener al dc las Indian) as among the evil cus toms of the Indians of Cuba, very perni cious and producing insensibility. Their mode of smokiug was by inhalation through the nostrils by means of a hollow forked cane, the forked ends being inserted in the nostrilsj the other end applied to the burn ing leaves of the plant." Ignorant Bnvs. At an examination of the boys in the city of Rome, who applied for admission to the receutly opened lyce tim, most Of the applicants; although they Had studied for years at the old Papal schools, were found to be almost incredibly ignorant. A tall lad of eighteen was asked what geography was. He did not know it. "What is Saidiuia?" "A river." "The Ardriatic?" "A mountain." "Milan?" "Ah ocean." Another was questioned about the history ot Italy. He was utterly igno rant, and when the examining professor expressed some surprise at his lack of knowl edge, he replied haughtily, "You must bear in mind, sir, that I am a Roman, and not an Italian !" "tommy B , one night returned to his domicil in a state of uncertainty that was ridiculous. Pushing heavily against the door, it opened, and Tommy fell Sprawling across I he threshold. His prolonged and ineffectual efforts to regain an erect position aroused his wife, in bed in the next room, who said: "Tommy, is that you? What is the matter?" "Yes, it's me; nothing's the matter, 'cept this here bee's got too much honey on its wings to g-g-git into the hive." Said an aged minister a few wchUs tfgr : "Fellow einhcrs,. if you were told that by going td the top' of those stairs yonder (pointing toa rickety pair at one end of the church) you blight secure your eternal sal vation, I really believe hardly any of yon would try it But let any man proclaim that there was five hundred dollars up there for you, and I'll be bound there would be buch a getting up stairs as you. never did see." I pressed her gentle form' to me, and whispered in her ear, if, when I was far away, she'd drop for me a tear. I paused for cheering words, my throbbing heart to cool; and with her rosy lips she said, "Oh, Ike, you're such a fool 1" "You want nothing, do you?" said Pat. "Bedad. an' if it's nothing you want, you'll find it in the jujt where the whisky was. AW. WALTERS, Attobsbt at Law, . Clearfield. Pa. Office in the Court ilonse I f TALTER BARRETT, Attorney- at Lew.

' The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tis sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte rior is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube, ad called the V reter. The ureters are con nected wilh the bladder The bladder ia f mposed of various coverings or tisiues, divided into parts, vis : the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retain. Many have a desire to urinate without the ability, others urinate with out the ability to retain. This frequently occurs iu children. To cure these afiscliena, we must bring into ac tion the muscles, which are engaged in their va rious functions. If they ere neglected, Qravol or Dropsy may ensue. The redaer mut a'so be ma le aware, that how ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers, as onr flesh and blool are supportci from those sources , florT. ok RnciMATtsa Pin occurring in the) loins is indicative of the above diseases.

It is from this de posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.

Dtuggist: Dear Sir: I bsve been a sufferer, for upward of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I bave nsed various med iciual preparation. ai.d been under the treat ment of the most eminent Physicians, experien cing but little relief Hiivirg lien jour preparations e.t'crvvcly ad vertised, I ennsn'ted with my family physician id regard to using your Extract iliich'u. I did this because t hiid nsed ali kiiids of ad vertised remedies, nnd bad found ibmn worthless, and eoine quite injurious; in f.-tct. 1 despaired of ever getting will, and dctrrutii.ed to u.-o no rem edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of bucbu, inbebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my physician as an excellent combination, aud, with bis advice, after an ex ami nut ion of the arti cle, and eon'uiting again with tin druggist, I concluded to try it. 1 commerced its use about eight months ago. t wii ch li::ie i wis confined to my room From the Trst Ix.t'le I was astoniib ed and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk oat. I felt uiufh like writing yon a full statement or mycus at that time. Eit tbonght my improvement might only be temKrary, and therefore concluded to defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you ftnd more satisfactory to me I am now able to report thit a cire is effected a.te. using the remedy for five mouths. I havo not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Yoar Kuchu being devoid ot any rnpleasani taste and odor, a nice tenii and invigorator of the system. I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may renuire its use in surb affections. M McCOtiMICK. Should any Sou'bt Mr. MeCormick'a statement, he refers to the following gentlemen : Hon.
