the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the firs*

these important c^gans. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

the moonlit scene. His companion
stood close beside him, and after a
short, interval took his arm. when j that
they stepped forth upon the porch, j this

■When Tyrrel was left alone lie
strolled forward to the terrace, and
passing round to that end which over
hung the cliff, near the door that
opened from the library, he leaned
his breast upon the parapet and
looked down uixm the wild and beau

bright moonbeam where it glowed
like silver, and the shad s. rendered
deeper by the contrast, seemed to
brood over a black and impenetrable
abyss. Occasional glimpses were seen
of the river below, as it sparkled
along such portions of its channel as
were not hidden in the darkness. The
coolness of the hour and the solitude
of the spot were not ungrateful to
’th* - mood of Tyrrel’s mind, whilst
the monotonous music of the river
fell pleasantly on his ear. He was
not unheedful of these eh irms in the
scene, though his thoughts were bus
ily employed with a subject foreign
to their contemplation.

of his present, self communion, “the
