OHE BY ONE.
'ihey are gathering homeward from evcrj land,
One by ono ;
As their weary feet touch tho shining strand.
One by one ;
Their brows are enclosed in a go! Jen crown,
Their travel-stained garments are all laid down,
And. clothed with white lainients, they rest on
the mead.
Where the Lamb lovuth Jiis chosen to lejj,
One by one.
Before tbvy rest they pass through the strife.
One by one :
Through the waters of death they enter lifj,
One by one ;
To some aro tho flood of the river still,
As they fori their way to the heavonly hill ;
To others the waves run fiercely and wild,
Vet all leach the home of the uuduGIcd.
t'ne hjr one.
We too shall come to the river si-lc,
On by one ;
We are nearer it waters each even tide,
One by one ;
We can hear the noue and d:tsh of the stream,
Now and again, through our life's deep droam
Sometimes the floods o'er tho banks o"crHow,
Sometimes in ripples the small waves go,
One by one.
Jesus! Redeem er ! we look to TLcc,
Oue by one ;
We lift oar voices tremblingly,
w One by one ;
The waves of the river aro dark and cold,
We know nt the the spots where our foe t may hold
Thou, who didst ui through iu deep iuid::i.;ht:
!!rengthen us, scud us tho staff and the light,
One by one.
Plant Thou Thy feet beside ru we tread,
One by one ;
Ou Thee let as loan each drouping head,
One by on i ;
Let '.utThy mighty arm around us bo twined.
We'll ca-t all our fears and cares to the wind ;
Savior ! Kcdtetuer ! with Thee full in view,
Smiling, gladsouiely. shall we pass through,
Ono by ono.
AN OLD GAME.
"Button ! button ! who's got the button?"
These riris (ell in hurried accents of
vexation from the cherry-ripe lij.s of 3Ii-s
Laiey Ware, ami were aecoiniatiiel by a
(airy likf avtlanehe of fa.-ciuatirig screams.
She was just about to step aboard the cars
when sne discovered her losi.
''Oh dear! it was on when I ftaited.
What can hare become of it? I can never
match it in this world !"
And she cat a look of consternation at
the vacant l;ee on her acUu, where there
should have been a large anate button.
"Why didn't you luok around fur it," she
demanded of her hand-;::v! cousin, (icrahl
Wentwortli, who was to tfte her sai'uly otart-
J ou her journey.
lie elevated Lis eyebrows at her iui.cri
ous tone, and scauued the ground at their
feet,
"What are .io looking at, Tom Shelly?
You'd better j:o leek to vour prea.-y liiachine
j-ho, utile- you can find tuy button !"
Tom Shel'y lifted his hat, Lowe 1 low to
conceal a .-hade id j uia that asei across
his lace, nid walked away, lie had cotne
to take a last look at the despotic little
beauty before she .as-ud lioiu hi vi.-Ion,
l.erhaps forever. She was the iueanialioii
tu him ol all that Was bright, winning,
sprightly and lovable ; :;iid after .--he was
f-'otiC he wouM iiiu.e and dream about her,
when .-hi', perhaps, would Lcstow only an
ccea.-ioiia!, t:ati:-i tit thought on him as an
atom aiiioii her houii.- rctnini-eences.
Ju.st then the v.a:iiit:g whistle sounded,
and .Miss Wa'.e was compelled, sorely against
her will, to submit to her loss, and proceed
ou her jourai".
She waved herhan ikerehiet Jicrald Wont
wort L waved his hat, and then the latter
overtook Tom Shelly.
"She's a hih lohed little piece, Shelly,"
lie said.
"Who? Oh yes! Mi.- Ware. Sheisto
be gone for a lon; time, I btlicve ?"
"All winter."
Tom .-iehed. Ho looked at his ru.-ty
vlothes and contrasted them with the ele
gant suit of his companion..
"Slie's pretty proud, isn't she?"'
"I'roiid its Lucifer's sister if he bad
one, laughed Wciif.vurth. "Though I
J'iu't know as I ouht to say that. 1 think
a -ood .leal of her lny.-e'.!'.
"Voudo?"
"Yes he's my cousin, you know."
";'She is very beautiful."
"And .-he knows it ton."
Tom was silent, lie did Hot feel capable
of niaintaiuintj his careless tone ; so he
i.x.Lcl straight ahead, and he pias.ted his
l.cels on the pavement with vigor as he
tstepped.
"Tljey s.y you're t!:e best ltian iu Iun
nine's ma. liiue -h ,n, Shtily. How's that?"
"Curse the iiiael.iiur-ihop and its grease
and dirt!" cxehiuiel 'uo'y. "I wuh I'd
cho.-en seme more genteel lu hiess."
"Well, it isn't as neat as it might bo, to
be sure. IJut still, when you get up to tho
top, it's ail right. Look at Dunning how
he stands iu the community. He began by
kindling tlx fires, you know."
Here the two turned off' in different di
rections. Their brief couveration passed
from Wcntworth's uiind immediately ; but
Tout remembered it. dwelling and lingering
on each word, and turning it over and over
in his mind. There was no torture so de
lightful to hitu as to hear Lucy Ware talk
vd about, and to meditate on whatever con
ccined her iu near or remote degree. He
watched by stealth her smiles, and was an
gry with all the world because ho could not
resist the infatuation. For he ought to
have dismissed her from his thoughts W'tii
contempt nftcr the refused one night to ;jci i
to a concert with him beeauoe he did tot !
dress well enough. He was wounded and
cut j but the circumstance did not bring
common sense to his head. lie sulked and
toiled, and hoped with a miserable.doubting
hope, and pocketed his fifteen dollars a week
and was still an abject slave.
Miss Ware was going to New Y'o.-k to
spend the winter with a wealthy aunt, and
now he had her last words to think ot-a
command to go baek to his greasy machine
shop !
When he left the shop that night it was
to walk home with slow steps and athought
ful face. Humiliations in which there were
gleams of sense, energy and purpose, ran
through his head.
He found supper waiting, and sat down
opposite his mother with an absent, preoc
cupied look. -
Are you tired, Tom ?"
"No, not particularly." .-
"I thought you looked so."
"Duuniug began at the bottom, didn't
he, mother? And why can't I work up to
where he stands now? Yes, Wen worth
was right. I'll do it !"
"Do what, Tom?"
"Oh, nothing only I'm not going to
stand at the lathe all my lile I can tell you
that."
"Why, what's the matter, Tom ? Aren't
you doing very well now?"
"No. I'm nothing but a greasy, begrim
ed lalorer. Hat I'll make my mark yet, or
give up the gho.-t."
"Mercy ! dou't talk so. I thought you
were very well satisfied."
"Satisfied !" contemptuously.
"It is wrong to murmur against one's lot.
We ought to be thankful "
"Don't mention the word 'thankful' to
me ! l'ardon me, mother, I don't mean to
speak unkindly ; but well there's goiug to
be a change, that's ail."
"You dou't mean that you're going to
leave Mr. Dunning?"
"No, no."
"What wls it about Mr. Wentworth ?"
"Oh, I met him to day" Tom blushed
"and he reminded ute of how Dunning be
gan as a chore hoy, and of the way he stands
now. And I thoungt, why can't one do it
as well as another? Why cau't I do it?"
Tom looked at his tuy the r in a defiant,
argumentative way.
"I'm sure I don't know," she replied,
slightly nonplussed. "Iut you shouldn't
deceive yourself by building air castles."
"I'll take care of that. But I've got au
idea that I mean to work out. It may
amount to nothing."
"What is it, Tom ?" '
"I cau't toil you now. You tnow tha'
brain .sometimes makes more money than
hands, li I could only in vent sometliiiifi."
Mrs. Shelly shook her head doubtfully.
"Inventors are generally hair Lralned crea
tures." "Not by a good deal-! Y'ou ought to be
a.-hained to .-lander them. Think of what
they have done for the. world. "
Tom left the table with his meal but half
fit:i.sl.ed, and threw himself down on the
couch. l'utriiM; his hand in his pocket it
e title in contact w.'.th something that sent a
Ci'ioisofj flood to his face. He roc hastily
a id went up tu his room. Ill lit a lamp,
and smiled in exultation as he laid a small
ohieet on the table. It was Miss Lucy
Ware'j missing button. Y'es, Tom had seen
it when it dtopped, picked it up,and resolv
ed to keep it as a remembrancer of the tan
talizing siscn who had fco bewitched him.
Some time, perhaps, he would return it. He
chuckled as he thought of her discomfiture,
and her blissful ignorance of who was the
possessor of the lost trinket. Then the
fooli.-h fellow gazed at it long and earnestly,
finally placing it in aii iusido pocket of his
vest.
lie went to a shelf on which was ranged
a choice collection of scientific works, took
one down and commenced reading, l'ut
his thoughts refusing to concentrate I hem
selves on the subject, of the book, he finally
Hung it aside and went down stairs. He
a-t.jiiished his mother for the rest of tht
evening by being unusually gay and viva
cious. Ho perpetrated fearful jokes, and
both laughed until the teats r.m down their
cheeks, thus insuring a good night's rest.
Hut a chance was coming. Tho nest day
Tom bought pencils, compasses, and draft
ing paper, and in the evening shut himself
up iu his room. This was repeated the next
evening, and the next, and at the end of a
week his mother learned to look no more
for the ploasar.t hours they had been wont
to spend together al'l-T tea. Tom grew pale,
and his face assumed a thoughtful, resolute
look. And soon he drew half of his two
hutid'.-cd dollars from the bank and fitted
up a little workshop in a back chamber.
Here the sound of filing and hammering
was heard Hte in tho hours of almost every
evening. Tom was working out his idea,
whatever it was; and it was plainly no
child's play with hiui, but a game in which
he had staked his all a battle for life or
death. His earnest face told this, always
soberly meditative now, and scarcely ever
relaxing into a smile. His mother noticed
this; Mr. Dunning noticed it; his friends
noticed it; but he discharged all his daily
duties with rigid fidelity, and gave short an
swers to expressions of concern. And thus
the wiuter passed.
One August day Mr. Dunning said :
"Shelly, you are entitled to a vacation, and
you look as though you needed it. Go off
for a couple of weeks. Your pay shall go
ou the same."
"I don't want it now, sir. I'm all
riht."
"Ah, but I'm afraid you are not all right.
You are pale and thin."
"I would prefer to work on for tho
present," persisted Tom. "I may want a
vacation before long. I'll ask for it when
I do."
"All right. Don't be afraid to mention
it. Only do not wait till the busy season."
For the nest three weeks Tom stuck later
.than ever to his little work shop, evenings,
and often tolled until the wee small hours
were tolled out by the lonely, solemn town
clock.
At the end of that time he went to Mr.
Dunning with bright, almost happy-looking
eyes, yet with a jaded exhausted air.
"Now, sir, I want my vacation."
"Whew!" said Mr. Dunning. "We've
just got in some big orders you know."
"I can't help it, sir, I must have a
week."
"Y'ou mit st?"
"I'm sorry, sir, but rather thaa not have
it I'd lose my place."
"Why, what's the row, Shelly ? Anything
going wrong ?"
"No, sir. I hope you'll pardon ray per
sistence, but can I go for a week ?"
"Well, yes," said Mr. Dunning, reflec
tively, "I suppose so. Y'ou ought to have
taken it iu the summer, though. Dut
sit.ee you ask for only a week, you shall
have it."
That night Tom packed something very
carefully in a small box, bade his mother
good bye, and started for Washington.
"Upon my word, Shelly, I didn't know
there was so much in you !"
Tom Shelly and Mr. Dunning were clos
eted together iu the lalttr's private office,
with some papers spread out before them,
aud a small brass model of a machine stand
ing on the desk.
"Well, sir, since you approve of it, and
think it likely to answer its purpose, sup
pose we talk business."
"Dusiness?"
''Y'es. You have capital, and I have the
patent. There's money in the machine, but
it will take money to bring it out."
"Very true."
"Well, your capital invested in these
works is one hundred thousand dollars.
I'll put in my invention at fifty thousand,
and own one-third of the establishment."
"Ha! I should think you might!"
"Or, if you like, I will travel two months
aud see how the thing takes before we airkc
any agreement.''
"Don't you think you've cot your ideas
up rather high on the matter?"
"Perhaps I have," answered Tom, coolly ;
"but I don't propose to go begging, and
Jet others grow rich out of what I ou'-'ht to
have-."
"Such things are all experiment" ei
risks."
"I know, sir ; but you see what it is.and
the need it supplies, and it is for you to say
whether jou will run the risk of taking hold
of it."
Mr. Dunning paused and reflected. "I
will look the matter over," he said at length,
"and you may come here to morrow eve
ning." This was as satisfactory as Tom expected,
and so he withdrew.
When he went home he asked his mother
(to whom he had confided naught of his
plans) how she would like to live in Judge
Graham's house on Main street.
"The J udge is going to Europe and wants
to sell."
"What is that to us, Tom? We can't buy
his house."
"Well, we may be able to .otne time."
"Sometime! What away you have of
looking ahead, Tom."
"It's better to look ahead than behind, I
think."
Tom went up stairs, threw him-elf back
in a chair.and took Lucy Wiire's button out.
He fingered the memento over and over,
gazed on it, and finally pressed it to his lips
stealthily, as if he feared soma one might be
looking. Then ha wondered what Mr. Dun
ning's decision would be, and revolved in
his mind all the contingencies of success or
failure. Ho slept but little that, night, for
his whole future hang on the interview of
twenty-four hours hence.
New-year's night I A silver wedding I
Mr. Dunning's mansion was thrown open
and thronged with his friends, It was no
stately affair. The children were there as
well as the old folks, and tho Jiouse was
aglow with merriment and good cheer.
There were beautiful presents, smiling
congratulations, aud shaking of hands;
bright-eyed girls with dazzling Presses and
shining white shoulders ; dignified matrons
iu stately silks and diamonds ; benignant
fathers in glossy broadcloths and sober kids;
elegant young men in swallow-tails and
white vests; screaming children, with wild,
delighted countenances ; and the buzz and
rustle and din and clatter of the crowd that
had dismissed dull care for the nonce, and
was bent on making a night of it.
Tom Shelly was there and so was Lucy
Ware. The former was surrounded by
friends and new acquaintances eager to con
gratulate him on a recent important event
namely, his admission as partner with Mr.
Dunning.
"Duuning & Shelly has a very respecta
ble sound," said one.
"Accept my congratulations on your good
fortune," eaid another.
"Well, Tom, your luck has come at last,"
"Y'ou deserve your luck every lit of it,"
were the words of an old friend.
Tom received all this with due grace and
modesty. A few ventured to sound him, to
test his intelligence, bnt were speedily sat
isfied on that score. He was a thoughtful
reader, and possessed a little stock of books
that many of those around him would have
done well to substitute for the unwholesome
sweetmeats with which they were wont to
regale their minds.
In the meantime Tom is soliloquizing
mentally. lie is growing restive and longs
to speak to Lucy Ware. Rut he wonders
how she will receive him whether his good
fortune will make him more attractive to
her. And if it docs, and if certain hopes
he has cherished are fulfilled, will it be 7re
that wins Iter, or something else? Will it be
a cash match or a love match? Or won't it
be any match at all, and is such speculation
idle? These were perplexing questiotis,awd
Tom found himself unable to consider them
with that coolness of judgment he had re
solved with himself to bring to bear on the
matter.
At last Tom approached her, and as he
drew near felt a choking thrill. She was
just as beautiful as ever, and gave. him a
glance out of her liquid black eyes that
rippled up from under the long lashes like
a flood of sunlight.
I?ut in spite of the wild canter into which
his blood was fired, he bade her good-evc-ning,touching
her gloved palm, and uttered
some commonplace remark with very praise
worthy nonchalance.
Just then a set was forming t3 dance, and
one couple was wanting. Of course Tom
asked Miss Ware for the honor, etc., and
the two marched on the floor.
"Y'ou will allow me to express my pleas
ure at your newadvancement.willyounot?"
she asked, in a tone in which there wai just
a shade of tremulousness.
"Oh, certainly, it you take enough inter
est in me to feel any pleasure at it."
"Why of course I do. I always feel in
terested in those deserving of success."
Her tone was quite frank now.
"Oh, that's it, is it?" said Tom, a little
disappointed. The sparkle in Miss Ware's
eyes dilated a little."
"Well, I got it by hard work," he said.
"I went back to my greasy machine-shop
that time, as you bid me."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten about it? It was
when, you went to New York to visit your
aunt. Y'ou lost your button at tho depot,
you know, and told me to go back to my
greasy machine-shop if I couldn't find it."
Miss Ware blushed scarlet. "Oh, do
not speak of that. It was very rude in me.
I supposed you had forgotten it. I was on
ly in fun."
"Dut I wasn't." Tom's tone was rather
stern, and Lucy looked up quickly. "I
made a vow then."
"Oh, dear ! I hope I wasn't the means
of your making a vow."
'Do von 9 -A...J oupiniaeyou ww v. tine
then? Is there anything so very alarming
about making vows?"
"I dou't know. They're so very seldom
kept."
"Ah, but this one is partially fulfilled al
ready, a:td will be entirely some time. Only
one thing can prevent it."
Miss Lucy did not ask what that one
thing was, but grew reserved, and during .
the rest of the quadrille did not look into
Tom's face with her ptcvious unembarrass
ed freedom. Tho conversation had been
carried on disjointed!)' during the pauses iu
the dancing. When the last figure was fin
ished M i.-.s Ware said :
"Oh, dear, I am so tired of dancing !
Let us walk in the other room and see what
the children are doing.
Her hand still rested on Tom's arm, and
they made their way into another apart
ment, where a merry throng of boys and
girls were partaking of the pleasures of
that old and exciting game, "IJutloii ! but
ton! who's got the button?"
"That's a good old game," said Lucy.
"Uutton! button! who's got the but
ton?" came iu ringing tones from one of
the children.
"I've got it !" cried Tom.
"No sir; I've got it myself!'' shouted a
merry blue-eyed girl.
A little scene of confusion followed, and
tken the game, went on.
Lucy Ware looked up at Tom in sur
prise. "What made you say that?" she asked.
"Because it's true," he answered, look
ing at her with a curious twitch of the eye.
Lucy looked puzzled.
"Do you want to see it?"
"Y'es."
He reached in his pocket and held some
thing in his hand"
'"Why," she exclaimed in amazement,
"that's mine ! Where did you get it ? It's
the one I lost."
"I know it."
She blushed vividly, and was utterly mys
tified, and said, "Please explain."
"I picked it up when you lost it that
time."
"And why didn't you give it to me?"
"I took it to my gTeasy machine-shop."
"Please don't?"
Tom laughed, grew serious, and whisper
ed, "I kept it because I loved you. And
I haven't got over it yet. I made n vow
to keep that button till I worked my way
out of that greasy machine-shop, and its
ownsr cared enough for it to pay for its res
toration by becoming my wife."
"But my saeque has gone out of fashion
and the button will be of no use to me. Aud
besides, I think you ought to be willing to
give more than a button for what you ask."
Tom siezed her hand and exclaimed, "I
can give the whole love of an undivided
heart a life-long devotion a love as un
changing as the sun that shines ! Will that
do?"
"I don't know but it will," she mur
mured. And so the matter ended.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part of the loin, turrounded by f it. and
consisting of three parts, vis : the Anterior, the
Anterior, 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 tho exterior. The exte
rior is a conductor aljo, terminating in a single
tube, ad called the I reter. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder
Tbe bladder is composed of various coverings
or tijiues, divided into parts, vis: the Tpper, the
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently ocean
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muccles, which are engaged in their va
rious functions. If they ere neglected .Gravel clt
Dropsy may ensue.
Theredaer mart also be made aware, that hows
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported fpitn these sources

Tab 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.

the body, and bears different name, according to
the parts affected, vis: when generally diffuses

II. T. IIPLWiW'i.o, Druggist:
Dear Sin: I have been a suffer"-, Trtr upward
of twenty years, with gravel, fctEdllsr and kidney
affections during which tlnie Ihave'use4 VaYiotiJ
med icinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment of the roort eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensive?? 4
vertised, I consulted with n-.y family physician la
regard to using your Extract liuchu.
I did this because 1 had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found thorn worthless,
and some quite injurious ; in fact. I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use 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 buchu.
tuhebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and conuhing again w ith the druggist, I
concluded to try it. 1 commenced Its use about
eight months ago, at which time I was corlfined
to my room. From tho tret lcttfo I was astonish
ed and gratiGed at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
much like writing you a full statement or my caso
at that time, but thought my improvement mfght
Only bo temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and sea if it would effect a perfect core,
knowing then it would be of greater valuo to yoa
and more satisfactory to me
I am now able to report that a cure is effected
after using the remedy for live months.
I have cot used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid ot any unpleasant
tasto and odor, a nice ionii and invigoratov of the
system, I do not mean tu be without it whtnever
occasion may require its n in such affections.
