THE KIDNEYS. Th Kidneya are two in number, aituatod : at the upper part of the loin, anrrounded by fat, and consisting of three parts, vis i the Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior. T he 'anterior absorbs. Interior eonaista of . liaanea or vaina, which aerve aa a deposit for the nrine and convey it to the exterior. The . exterior ia a conductor also, terminating in a single tabe, and ealled the Cterna. The nte- . rua are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various eorer- . inn or tiaanea, divided into parts, via t the . Upper, the Lower, the Nervosa, and the Mueoua. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the bility ) othera urinate without the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, we must bring in to action the muecela, which are engaged in , their Tarioua fnnctiona. If they are neglected, Oravel or Dropsy may ensue.

Win UI IVfaif wiu gravel, uiwraar, and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experiencing bnt little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively advertised, I consulted with my tamily pbya ieian iu reit td to uaing your Extract Buchu 1 did thia because I had uaed all kinds of advertised remedies, and had found them worthless, aad, some quite injurious , in fact, " I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to uae no remedies hereafter unless I knew of tha ingredients. It waa thia that prompted me to nae your remedy. Aa yon advertised that it waa composed of buehn, : cubens, and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my physician aa an excellent combination, and, with hia advice, after an examina- ' tion of tbe article, and eonaulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight months ago, at which time I waa confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after usiqg it tiree weaka, was able to walk out. '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 ee if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you, and more aatisfactory f to me. ' , I am now able to report that a cure Ia effected after nsing the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects aa I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of tho system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require ita uae n inch affectiona. M.

Each bottle of the Tonic contains one bottle ot the Bitters, combined with pure 8akta Cruz Rum. and flavored in anch a manner that the extreme bitterness of the Bitters is overcome, forming a preparation highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of the Bitters. The price of the Tonic is $1.50 per bottle, which manv persona tbink too high. They must take into consideration that the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of pare anality.

OUR SATURDAY NIGHT. Tell Me What to do. How little it matters to that ower which calls the weeks to lis Inspection whether our dailj deeds be for eood aa evil; as it matters Dot to the weeks themselves whether the days were pleasant or gloomy dark or light All these days, weeks aad years are not for ns alone. The sun shines for oth ers. The rain falls not to help us, bat in obedience to a nature which is not to be resisted. So do we ire and die for a great purpose of which each of as is apart. The great planning is not for us to know at onoe, if ever, for when we shall have reached the point of knowledge to know, perhaps as God now knows, the future, famil iar to Him will still be dark to as, though oar light be a billion times greater than now, and we who strive shall become as Gods. Such are the changes here and hereafter. Not more in tbe material than the coming life. Of these thoughts we will tell you who would read, and the why. This day, before came upon us the shades and ahadows of Satur day Night, we were at the house of a friend. It was a home of mourning. A sweet, pretty babe but Utile more than a year old had died, as we say had gone on to be our senior Over There, as we were its senior here. We were called into the parlor. In a little coffin slept the fair form which but yesterday was fall of life. The tears rolled one after another down the face of the heartwounded father, as he silently held to his heart the agonized mother. His was grief. Hers was agony! His was sorrow. Hers was like the tearing away of life! Why do mothers love more than fathers? Why do those who weave beautiful carpets', or exquisite laces, look with more pride upon the completed article, which they have been months fashioning, little by little, than tbe one who brought to their loom tbe material, then' went for more? Answer as this, and you will not ask as the other. So he mourned on the shore, while she in agony waded into the sea which her created life bad passed over, as if to call back, when He had called to comet It was a lovely face. So white and fair so pure and innocent, like the face of one we often see and worship for the love she bears us and the good she is to us when seems as though none other could or cared to understand as. Iappy child that was of earththat is of the Leal. Its little hands were folded across its bosom its ittle eyes were closed, and its lips were parted as u in tbe sweetest sleep. Did you ever see a mother in agony? Did vou ever see woman throw herself on the coffin of her darling and sob, and weep ana struggle, as li to break away and follow after to that Garden in the East? Do you not know that at times words are powerless to build replies? ' "O! tell me tell me! what shall do? 1 cannot have this so! shall die: u let me go, or tell me leU me what to do! ' Come here, yon who mourn; you upon whose brsast she leans; you whose heart is her home. Come over to this side of the room Away from there! Bring her with you. Sit ye both here, while we eit beside you. That will do. And that is right hold her face upon your breast and let her eyes be closed. Tell you what to do?" Believe! Have faith! All is well w;th the little one, as it wil in time ue wuu us wno sicep in purity, to waken in light and im mediate happiness. That little corpse; so still and beautiful in the coffin, is no more than a little house from which the occupant has gone It filled its mission! It came from the place of creation as a garment for the spirit. The garment left, of no farther uae the life that was therein has passed on to welcome you Over There aa yon welcomed it here! Passed on before tainted, stained, braised, and impnred by contact with those whose natures ate afflicted by those who become in a measure assimilated, with their surroundings, and influenced by all there is of the material, unless held aloof and gnided upward by those influences which are but the watchfulness of spirits or angels who watch over all, and

BE THY GOD'S, THY COUNTRY'S AND TRUTH'S!"

who have power to protect and sustain those who believe in them the most. We mourn with yon, for you are alone, or beerft of an object of love. But yon should not mourn. There is more than this of life. In the coming years, if you love the memory of that little one, as it grows and is schooled in the Eternum it will come again to you not n flesh and blood, bat in good thoughts, suggestions, good ideas, and all these, until you will be touched by the light of progress, and long to leave this education by the fireside to become a teacher aiatl suggester, as are millions Over There, whose minds are operating on matter and improving as as a people, as the sunlight ri pens fruit for oar delectation. While you are weeping, the loved one is not lost, bnt already at work. It is like a bird, trying its pinions in the Golden Garden. You loved it here, as God loves us all. As the Creator loves His own creation. And it is well you did for this is the proof that we are all more or less of Him, or Godlike in our nature as we love truly, without baseness of passion or life of lust. Look not upon the little house where your darling lived. The loved one is not there! It has entered upon a work, as we all shall in time. We are taught a beautiiui lesson Dv deatn. We are taught that this life is nothing but a dressing-room. A room where tbe creations of man, God's agent, are sorted and tried and fitted fo r that work we shall have to do in exact proportion as we are able, or fitted by that nature and those ex perienced which fit or unfit us as we allow them to. While you are moving, the one who died, or rather began its new ife, is not idle. It is not to live in idleness Over There. None of us will! The improvements which mark tbe earth will tell us that those who died are still at work. They work through us as comes red to the rose from the influences we cannot explain or account for but which, nevertheless, do ex ist! As children who grope in the night, when wrongly taught by bad nurses, fear ghosts and strange creatures of fancy in tbe dark, so do we who are taught by bigoted men more than a liberal God wander in the dark, fearing evils and penalties which exist only in the imagination. It is not ordained that infants nor adults snail roast in a liquid mass of brimstone, or on livinar embers, but it is ordained that mind shall work upon matter that we shall have work to do after we we have passed away, as we have now, and that we shall be happy in our next life in proportion as we are pure-minded, liberal, and therefore crowing, and therefore of use in furthering the great plau of progression which will go on. and' on, and on lor ages, till we shall have lost the memory of our present life as now we have no knowledge of any one before this. We shall be selected for work Over There as we are here. As we build now with our hands, here so shall we build when thero. As we employ others now, so shall we employ others then. Personally, we do not expect that we shall direct others to build railroads, and to invent new machinery to hasten progress, but we snail nave a woiJ- to do. We shall have it given us to operate upon the minds of others as our own mind is at times operated uponas an our minds are, more, or less, by un seen, but none the less existing influences. We may, perhaps, be employed in suggesting Ideas and words, or manner of speech, to those who shall live here after we are gone. We shall, as we hope and believe, write many a line and chapter through other minds, hands, and pens telling of the Eternal, as men can bear it and will study as now we print and scatter by means of the inventions of the age and enterprises of man We shall never be idle. It will be our part to suggest good thoughts to those who will walk where we now walk work as we now work untlll they shall know more light, and be able to tell more, exactly as we know more now and can tell more than years ago, before we had by labor, earn est looking for and long suffering, been given the power to speak

from the heart by higher education , and more and more in accordance with the duties of life. Others who die and pass Over The River will have their work to do. Some will suggest this, and some that. We shall help each other more than here. As we know more we shall be more liberal. Those who are in the dark dare not go far from the chair in which they rest lest they cannot find it again. Bat those who have light can go far out with no fear. for they can see where they ' star ted from can go on and on and on leaving chairs aa in a row for othera to rest in as they walk the road, but dare not quite press steadily on, though the way is clearer and the road be easier the farther we walk therein. Some of those who shall go with us to the Beautiful Eternal will have their work ss we shall have ours. They will see things from a higher life than those who livo on earth will see, and will suggest by dreams, thoughts, ideas and unexplained influences, how to improve, and build, and press ahead, and progress. And those of earth who listen to these whis perings, and adopt the good sug gestions coming from a purified source, will grow better here, and when they go Over There will be given work to do, and will meet with as friends and co-workers those who guided them when they knew it not. While those who do not care to study here will be ig norant there also, and will be given only work in accordance with their faith, earnestness; liberality and honesty here. "Tell you what to do?" Labor and wait! Believe! While your mourned one is working There, do you work here, and help others, as we are helped by those who have gone before us to the rest beyond the Saturday Night. 'Brick" Pombrot. STARVATION IN PARIS. A Mayor (Perplexed by Left-handed Marriagea-A Cat Served Up for Christmas. In order to form an opinion with regard to the condition of the poor er classes, I went into some of the back slums in the neighborhood of the Boulevard de Clichy. The distress is terrible. Women and children, half starved, were seated at the door steps with hard y clothes to cover them decently, They said that as they had neither firewood nor coke, they ware war mer out of doors than indoors. Many ol tbe .National uuard, in stead of bringing their money to their families, spend it in drink and there are many families, composed entirely of women and chil dren, who in this land of bureauocracy, are apparently left to starve while it is decided to what category they belong. The Citizen Moltu, the ultra - Democratic Mayor, an nounced that in his arrondissement all left handed marriages are to be regarded as valid, and the left-handed spouses of the Nation al Guards are to receive tbe al lowance which is granted to the legitmate wives of these warriors. But a new difficulty has arizen. Left handed polygamy prevails to a great extent among tbe Citizen Moltu's admirers. Is a lady who has five husbands entitled to five rations, and is a lady who only owns the fifth of a National Guard to have only one fifth of a ration? These are questions which the Citizen Moltu is now attempting to solve. A few days ago Mme. Hamelin was discovered dead in bed in garret in Belleville, of cold and starvation. Her husband had been under Louis Philippe, Ambassador at Constantinople. I went to see what was going on in the hotl&e. of a friend of mine in the Avenue de l'lmperatrice who has left Paris. The servant who was in charge told me that up there they had been unable to ob tain bread for tbree days, and that the last time that he had presented his ration ticket he had been'given about half an inch of cheese. " Ho w do you live, then?" I asked. After looking mysteriously round to see that no one was watching us, he took me down into the cellar, and pointed to some meat in a barrel. "It is half a horse," he said in the tone of a man who is showing some one the corpse of bis murdered victim . "A neighboring coachman killed him, and we salted him down and divided it." Then he opened a closet in which sat a huge cat. "I am fattening her up for Christmas Day. he observed.-London Daily News.

The dreadful aspect of the bat tlefield outside Paris, after the great aortie, is thus described by a correspondent of the London Timer. There ia a park just at the . ex treme end of the village Villiers, on the Paris aide. Before and all around it raged the battle on both days the 30th of November and 2d of December. The chateau is officers quarters . How it suffered! There ia scarcely a window aaah left in one aide of it, and to . ap proach it there is no necessity to to make use of the entrance gate. The wall's smashed from top to bot tom in a dozen place. I entered near the gate, and the first sight I saw was ten dead Saxons in a row. Their faces were covered, and three of their comrades watched over them. Passing through the works in the direction of Paris, I walked oat through an embrasure In the wall and came upon rising ground. It was one of the hottest parts of the bsttle field, and al most the center of the field of fighting. Heavens, what a sight! To see men advancing under fire of forts and falling every stey; to see the French and the Saxons amid that horrid din of artillery shooting one snther down with chassepot and needle gun; to hetr the hurrahs,' followed by a volley, and as the smoke cleared away to find the lines thinned and living men ad vancing over the prostrate bodies of dead and dying was horrible, but nothing like so horrible aa the sight of this battlefield, with hundreds of dead lying there it the cold air, the sun shining on their ghastly features aad stiff forms while the cannon on Avron and Nogant were thundering with a sound which shook the earth for miles around. . One of the first groups I came upon was composed of - sixty French soldiers. A few Saxons and Wurtembergers lay around them; but the Germans had already removed and laid ia their last sleeping places most of their dead. The center of the group was formed 'a close line of forty-six. Yoa could not have placed a body beV ween any two. They tell shoulder. to shoulder, just as they stood fire. By far the greater number were on their backs, with their feet to Paris and their heads to Villiers. Alas! it was painful evident that many of them, and of others whom I saw subsequently, had not died in stantaneously, but had lived, probably many hours, without a hand to lend them succor, and in piercing snow and frost. One poor fellow lay on his face. He had two rifle wounds in his back. He bad partly stripped himself, and he died with a hand on each bullet hole. Several had taken off their knapsacks and placed them under their hAftrla- Mil an villrti hA hr.a.th. ed their last breath. Others clinched their water bottles in one hand, but had been unable to remove the cork, and died without being able to wet their lips in their last agony. Some, in their sufferings, had burrowed their faces in the thick clay on which they lay, and turned their bloody and earth-stain ed faces upward before they expired. Two I saw who had their arms fixed and their fists clenched, as if, while dying, they were engage'd in a pugilistic encounter. Only very few were on their sides. These had their knapsacks under their heads. There were men on whose faces beamed the smile of an infant, and whose countenances were like handsome wax work. The expression of others was that of terri ble agony. Every feature was contorted; their legs had been con vulsively jerked up until their knees stock into their stomachs. w and their fingers and thumb nails had been squeezed until thev be came rivied into the palms of their hands. Behind, before, and at the corners of a line of forty-six dead men were others, Saxon and French. One had a frightful wound in tbe face. He had pulled his hands up into his sleeves to warm them but his cap had fallen off, and the blood clotted on his hair till it was all in bloody mats. Near him was another who had taken a biscuit from his knapsack and the bottle from bis aide, and had partaken of a little or both. More than one of the slain had

A portion or tae . edge had been shot' off it The chassepoU and needle guns were still in many a dead man's hand, and lying between his arm and body. Similar were the sights all oyer the plateau between YUiiers and Brie, and Villiers and Champigny; and among the corpses were knapsacks, helmets, ahakoes, boyonet and manv a letter sealed - and di rected to relatives and friends in German and French." ' Near a cemetery, situated on the , battle field itself, I saw between 200 and 300 dead Frenoh soldiers collected, placed closely together, they had been removed from where they had fallen and collected in that spot for burial. All were regulars, and a considerable proportion of them were men of at least twenty-five or thirty years of age. They trere dead nearer to Paris than any spot I visited, though the fortifications a ere much too close to be at all agreeable, and Neuilly-sur-Marue and Fontenay-sous-Boit seemed to be within a few minutes' distance on my right and left. I hope there were no wounded. No armistice for the removal of the. dead 1 and wounded had been agreed to, but both sides had been removing them by night. Last night some of the German wounded were found among the dead, and are now in hospital. What must have 'been their sufferings in snow , and frost since the 2d instant, for they had been lying out day and night since then, if not since the 30tb! A Maaonic Project. , In Tennessee the Masonic frater nity have projected a novel plan for taking care of the widows and orphans of deceased members of the "mystic tie." In each grand di vision of the State 1,000 or more acres of land are to be acquired by gift or purchase, and this land will be cut up into small ; lots of one or two acres, with a small cottage on each lot. A portion of the land will be reseved for a school house and church, thus making the locality a sort of community by itself. In most cases there will be children old enough to care, for the land, raisiog vegetables and fruits for the market, and any deficiency of food and raiment will be supplied from the benevolent fund of the grand division. The seventy .two Masonic lodges of the State, have already raised nearly eighty thousand dollars toward the object to be accomplished, ar, by aaoi.hr year will have raheJ the amccnt desired, before naVisg - a prc tical test of the project. " Railroad Progress in tire United Ntateaia 18TO. ' The year 1869 closed amid a perfect mania to build railroads, and in the early part of 1870 over 15,000 miles of new road were projected. The rapidity with which the continent of Europe, especially Germany, absorbed American railway securities, stimulated railroad building in this country, and many roads were projected which were far in advance of the wants of the , country through which they were to pass, but while the number of miles prjecled was 15,000, only 6,574 miles were com pleted and opened to business. i From the annual review in the I Railroad Journal we get the statement tuat me number or mues or railroad opened in the United States, at the end of 1870, was $54,435, at a cost for road and equipments of 92,573,526,109. The increase during the year 1870 amounted to 5,574 miles, at a cost for road and equipment of 8234,916,300, or an increase of ' 11.41 per cent in mileage, and 9.58 per cent, in cost over the previous years figures. lais increase in 180 must be regarded as satisfactory considering the drawbacks consequent on the outbreak of war in Europe. . The , Railroad Journal says: 'The largest increase .has been in the States of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, where railroad construction has been stimulated to the , utmost by town and country subscriptions in the form of bonds. In Alabama and Georgia the oompanies building railrords" have been : encouraged by State subsidies.' -. Ta is process of stimulation and encouragement has already borne some fruit in Alabama, where six millions of bonds, one-third issued direct by the State to a railroad, and two-thirds indorsed by the State, are now in default on their Janaury interest. It would be very desirable if railroads could, in all cases, be built without the loan of the bonds of States, counties or towns ; and those communities which are free from obligations of this kind are certainly to be congratulated. Says the Louisville Commercial, Judge , Dunham, of tbe Criminal Court, recently took a tilt at the abuses of the grand jury system by that body, one of the principal of which was the summoning of an entire neighborood to testify to some trivial : matter that should never be heard in a court He ordered the sheriff to serve no grand jury summons hereafter that was not ordered by the judge.
