THE COMET.
nY o1IvER wENpEIL HoLNEs.


BY OLIVER WENDELL BoLxEs.
The Comet He Is on bis way,
And singing be flies g
The whizzing passets shrink before
The spectre of the skies
All well may regal orbs burn blue,
Aud satellites turn pale,
Ten million cubic miles Of head,
Ten billion leagues oftail
On, on by whistling spheres Of light
He flashes and he flames
He turns not to the left nor right
He asks them not their names
One spurn from his demoniac heel
Away, away they fly,
Where darkness might be bottled up
And sold for "Tyrian dye"
And what would happen to the land,
And how would look the sea,
If In the bearded devils path
Our earth should chance to BET
Full hot and high the sea would boil
Full red the forests CLEAN
Methought saw and heard II all
In dyspeptic dream
saw a tutor take his tube
The Comets course to spy ;
heard scream, the gathered rays
Had stewed the tutors eye
saw fori,--the soldiers all
Were armed with goggles green
Pop cracked the guns whiz flew the balls
Bang went the magazine
/ saw poet dip scroll
Each moment In tub,
read upon the warping back,
''The Dream Of Beelzebub -
lie could not see his verses burn,
Although his brain was fried,
And ever and anon he bent
To wet them as they dried.
saw the scalding pitch roll down
The cracking, sweating pines,
And streams OF smoke, like water-spouts
Burst through the rumbling mines
asked the lremen why they made
Such noise about the town
They answered not but all the while
The brakes went up and down.
saw a roasting pullet sit
Upon baking egg
/ saw a cripple sco-ch his hand
Extinguishing his leg;
saw nine geese upon the wing
Towards the frozen pole,
And every mothers gosling fell
Crisped to a cracking coal.
saw the OK that browsed the grass
Writhe In the blstering rays,
The heritage In his shrinking jaws
Was all a fiery blaze
saw huge fishes, boiled TO rags
Bob through the bubbling brine;
And thoughts Of supper crossed my soul
had been rash at mine.
Strange sights strange sounds fearful dreaml
Its memory haunts me still
The steaming sea, the crimson glare,
That wreathed each wooded hill
Stranger II through thy reeling brain
Such midnight visions sweep,
Spare spare, o spare thine evening meal,
And sweet shall be thy sleep

A CARD FROM DR. J. c. YOUNG'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
IA OFFICE-To the aiicted.-In this age Of progress,
when science is almost miraculous everything in
place is looked upon not worth notice In view Of this
fact Dr. Young CORNER Of Montgomery and California SITS
IN stairs concluded TO leave the beaten track hther-
TO pursued by most scientific physicians THAT of waiting
for the public to find alone and publish TO the world
rs much as be- his knowledge of the healing art to let
those who are in need Of assistance know where they
find relief without fear Of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, DIR. Young would say
that for past he has pursued the practice Of
medicine in of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success and that his standing phys
clan without epoach having at time been lecturer
at the University Of Pennsylvania vencral diseases.
Upon these considerations, . Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public, knowing that they will
sustain wen earned merit.
The following few Of the many testimonials which
have appeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
from the Boston Medical Journal
Although we opposed to the system of advertising
for good and sufficient reasons still deem it but justice
TO say that Dr. Young is Of the most industrious and
indeatigabe yotares Of medical science in the United
States.
From Professor Jaskson.1 .
The subscriber is personally acquainted Dr. Young and
has much of his practice and bear testimony
his merits practitioner.
From the New York Herald
The ennence of this distinguished gentleman in his pro-
son and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation of yeneral disease makes his ser
vices invaluable to those afflicted with the above com
plants.
From the Wing and Advertiser
All afflicted with private complaints should If possible
consult Or. Young, whose medical education is sur
passed by Physician in the Country In his skill hon
and integrity, all may rely with safety while most
the medical practitioners in this city without honesty
responsibility their petensons being grounded in igno
rance and assumption.

be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted where
it his duty to thus publicly express his most sincere graft
ude to Dr. L. j. Czapkay for the permanent recovery Of
his health Borne down by the distressing symptoms Incl
dent to the vicious practice Of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind unable to perform
the most ring duty imposed upon the daily avoc2
tons Of life sought the advice Of many physicians, who
at frat regarded my disease OF ting mportance-but
alas after few weeIa aud in several Instances months,
of their treatment found to my unutterabe horror, that
instead of relief my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture; and being told 10y that my disease be-
ing principally confined TO the BRAIN medicines would be
Of little consequence, despuired Of rcganing my
health strength and energy; and a last resort and
with but faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, af-
ter examining my case, prescribed medicine which
almost instantly relieved me Of the dull pain and dizziness
IN my head Encouraged by this result resolved place
myself Immediately under his care and by strict obed
all his directions and advice my head became clear
my ideas collected the constant pain in my back and
grOns The weakness Of my limbs the reaction of
my whole body the slightest alarm of excitement the
misanthopy and evil orebodings; the sefdstrust aud
want of confidence IN others the nCapabliy to study
and want of resolutions the frightul exciting and at all
times pleasurabe dreams at night followed by involuntary
discharges, have all disappeared; aud in fact in two
months after having consulted the Docor felt rs If in
spired by lifthat lie which, but u short time ago,
contemplated TO end by my own hand.
With aview TO guard the unfortunate from falling into
the snares Of incompetent quacks deem IT my duty to
offer this testimony to the merit and skill of DR. Czapkay
and recommend him to all who may stand in need Of med
zeal advice being assured by my experience, that
under his radical and permanent win be
