ORAToRY AT THE ENGLISH AND AMERICAN

rule, the English barristers cannot boast of
supremacy. They have nothing Of the incre-

the halls of legislation, and who flow on like
shining rivers, equal ease, whether they have

To Dr. L. J. Czapkay, San Francisco Dear Sir
Before having made application to you, had called
upon several physicians, from whom I obtained but
little satisfaction. told by one that my disease
incurabe, and that the headache dizziness ner-
vousnes timdiy, selfdistrust, loss Of memory love
partial insanity were evidences of organic disease of
the BRAIN for which medicines would be of little ser
vice. Having brought on these symptoms by my own
folly, was almost frantic with despair when l saw
your advertisement, and called upon you. How great
has been my relief All the above symptoms have
been relieved, besides which have recovered nv bod
lily health. Believing that there many suffering
in the same manner, you have my permission to pub
lis this letter. and can refer any one to me for CON
Irritation. Gratefully yours,

CHATTER III.

When John returned to the Office he found
that Swivel had abdcated his stool for the
night and gone. So, mounting his own ex-
allied seat, he was soon plying the pen as bus
ly as ever. Now, John was lad of par
ticularly regular habits; every morning found
him at his post with the precision Of chro-
nometor; nor did he ever desert the same,
though opportunities often occurred when he
could not possibly have been detected, till a
neighboring clock, which was suspended be-
tween heaven and earth by a clumsy oilshot
from the corpus Of the church to which it be-
longed, announced by eight solemn means,
that he had cnmpleted his legtemate days
work He was scrupulously honest and ex-
act in everything. His parents were very
humbly situated in life; his father had orig
inally been a carman, with salary Of six dol
lars a-week, but meeting with an accident
which deprived him of the greater portion OF
his physical energy, he lost his situation, and
the only employment he could well perform
was such as boy of twelve years would be
capable Of John, however, was blessed
with good mother, who enjoyed excellent
health and who, from the first moment Of
her husbands accident, cheerfully SO. herself
to the task OF keeping their humble Nome to-
gether, and providing by her labor the nee.
essaries of existence for all three.
Anxious that her son should have as good
an education as was attainable by people of
their standing, John was kept till fourteen
years of age, at a free school, where Mr.. Maj
lor, making application for a boy was SO
pleased with our hero's handwriting and gen
eral requirements, that he engaged him with
out hesitation The boy was in raptures at
the prospect Of doing something towards
maintaining home, and undertook his duties
full of expectancy and hope, though on SO
small salary as that Of two dollars a-week
and when anybody suggested that for the
hnurs he was employed the remuneration
was but triaing, he would reply, "the occu-
patton is respectable, and who can tell but
what may be lawyer some day myself
and have clerks in my employ 2"
Having proceeded some few minutes with
his writing, the idea suddenly popped into
his head that he ought to look at his money
and see if it was all right, not that he had
the least fear of having lost any, but he had
been running, and an accident might have oc
cured. Accordingly, thrustmg his hand,

CHAPTER III.

When Monday morning came, John was
at his post with usual precision but the ap-
pie woman was before him. A marked
change was visible in her countenance. Her
face, usually of the ruddiest complexion, was
ashy pale, and her sloe-black eye, so wont to
burn with life aud vivacity, was dull and dim,
as though she had just risen from sick
bed.

beheld him, "have you discovered the great
mistake you made the other day yY
"My opinion" he replied, endeavoring to
look stern, for he inferred the change so visi-

The Miners Sabbath.
By A. MINER,

BY A. MINER.
The pick and spade
Aside are laid,
The miner now reposes;
And meath the trees
Enjoys the breeze
That bears the breath Of roses.
The gladsome notes,
From feathered throats,
Soft as his loved ones voice is,
Fall on his ear,
In warblings clear,
And his true heart rejoices.
With friends he walks,
OF home he talks,
Forgetting toll or sorrow;
And waits with hope
Rich veins to ope,
Upon the coming morrow.
Then to repose
The miner goes,
Thinking of those who love him;
He dreams Of eyes
Clear as the skies,
And bright as stars above him.
The Wind.
The wind is bachelor,
Merry and free;
He rovest at his pleasure
Der land and DER sea;
He rufiles the lake
And kisses the flower,
And he sleeps when he lists
In a jessamine bower
He gives to The cheek
OF the maiden its bloom;
lie tastes her warm kisses,
Enjoys their perfume;
But, truant-like, often
The sweets that he sips
Are lavished next moment
On loylier lips.
