Sunday Sermons.

There was u Sermon delivered in the
Court House on Sunday evening last by
an itinerant Parson, who, week pre-
vious favored US with similar effusion.
Although not professor of religion,
re protest that we are no reviler thereof
but on the contrary are one of its ardent
supporters, and from onr youth up have
been among the most attentive listeners
to its advocates; but spite of our rever-
ence for religious matters and their ear
nest exhorters, we feel constrained to
pronounce the opinion that, such feeble
puerile attempts as those emanating
from the gentleman above alluded to,
have tendency to create skeptics, and
excite contempt for the cause, rather
than to turn sinners from the error of
their ways and to gather them into the
fold of Christ, notwithstanding the very
evident sincerity with which the Rev
erend gentleman propounds the univer-
sally accepted fundamental precepts of
the Christian religion. II.

Know Nothing and Do>nothing body,
adjourned on Monday last. With that
distinguished body expired great hi-Yi
party Coming into power with an
overwhelming majority, they had an
opportunity to render the State some
service. But the discordant elements
of which the party was composed, pre-
vented them from performing the ordi-
nary duties of a government party, to
say nothing of the non-ful6lment of their
many fair promises The fruits of the
Know Nothing triumph last fall, are the
Cayote scalp law, and the return of the
State once mora to the odious States
Prison contract system. They have
bound the State to a contract with Gen.
EsteI, for which it is understood he has
been offered 800, 900.

giddy hight to which excited imagina-

CERTIFICATE

The undersigned, dcsirous of acquaintinr
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief Of
their sutferings may be obtained feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his his most sin
cere gratitude to DR.. l. j. Czapkay for the
permanent recovery Of his health. Borne
down by the distressing symptoms incident to
the vicious practice of uncomfortable passion
in youth depressed in body and mind. unable
to perform even the most trifng duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, | sought
the advice of many physicians, who at first
regarded my disease as of trihing import
ance-but alas! after few weeks, and in &C.
veral instances months, of their treatment.
found to my unutterable horror that, in
stead OF relief, the symptoms became more
alarming IN their torture; and, being told by
one that my disease, being principally con-
lined to the brain, medicines would be of lit
little cousequerc, | dispaircd of ever regain-
ing my health, strength and energy; and. as
last resort, and with but a faint hope, call
ed upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after examining
my case, prescribed some medicine which
almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain
and dizziness in my head. Encouraged by
thls result, resolved to place myself mme
diately under his care, and by strict obe-
dience to all his directions and alv;ce, nv
hcad became clear, my ideas COLLECTED, the
constant pain in my groins, the weakness of
my hIe5s, the nervous reaction of nv whole
body on the slightest alarm or excitement:
the misanthropy and evil forebodings;the self
distrust and want Of confidence in others; the
incspability to study, and want of resolution:
the frightlful, exciting, and at times pleasure
bic dreams at night, followed by involuntary
discharges, have all disappeared; and in fact
in two months after having consulted the Doe
tor, felt as if inspired by new life
that life which, but o shaort time ago, | can.
templated to end by my own hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate
from falling into the snares of incompetent
quacks, deem it my duty to offer this testi
mony to the merit and skill of DR.. Czapkav
and recommend him to all who may stand in
need Of medical advice, being assured, by nv
own experience, that once under his care a
