Be7s- DR.. L. ]. Czapkay.-The gentleman
whose name forms the caption of this notice is
one of the few modern physicians whose appli-
cation to his profession and devotion to the af-
ficted, render him alike an ornament to the
one and benefit to the other. a Hungarian
by birth, he sought with Kossuth to place his
country among the nations of the earth, beyond
the oppressors rule, that her sons might re-
joice in the practice of those prccepts which
are alike our glory and our pride. In his efforts
so to do, he has reaped the reward of Intellectual
resistance to oppression, and "a home and a
country know him no more" Apart, however
from his claims upon our consideration as. a
patriot, the testimonials of character and ca
pacty which he brings entitle him to public
confidence, to the exclusion of those who pos
sess neither the one or the other. As gentle
man his character is untarnished as physi-
clan, his skill unsurpassed and to those whose
imprudence has left upon them the taints of
disease, we conscientiously commend him
with the assurance that in him they will find a
friend whom to know is great gain The Dr.'s

The Engine Song.

| With a clangi
| With clank and clangi
With a clamor, a clank and clangi
With clatter and clamor a clank and clang
With veins full of fire,
And the artery, steam,
Reused to the pulse
OF feverish dream
With gray plume trailing,
Fleecy and pale,
Like mist boats sailing
To sea with the gale
With the ring and the rattle
Of lever and wheel,
And the blow and the battle
Of track and of steel;
With tremulous spring,
Like the launch of a wing
From the condor cliff, where The wild vines
cling.
An eagle of iron with sinews of steel,
And blow of pinion, like avalanche peal
With talons of flame and blaze N the blood
/ tunnel the mountain and compass the fiood,
startle the morning and shiver the noon,
And splinter the radiant eyes of the moon
From pine and from granite to orange and palm,
From storms of sleet fury to zephyrs of balm,
From Alleghan summit to Michigan wave,
From the life of the East to the pioneers grave,
Dragging train
AS flying prisoner dra9S his chain;
Climbing the grade
Painting and sullen, but undismayed.
Then away to the prairie with antelope speed!
Betting the forest and skimming the mead
Awaking the bear from his underwood lair,
And startling the deer to leap in The air
Breaking the Indians solitude rest,
Pushing the buffalo far to the West,
Skirting the current with spur and with thong,
Where the drain of the continent thunders
alongl
Mixing and mingling
The races of men,
Bearing the Now
In advance of the Then.
Then ceasing the rattle
OF lever and wheel,
And parting the battle
OF track and of steel;
And ending at last
The roll and the race,
And checking the flight
With gradual pace
With clatter and clamor, i clank and elang;
With clamor, clank and elank;
With a clank and clang;
With clang!ll

THE JURYMAN:
n SKETCH.
BY MRS. L. MARIA CHILD.

PETER BARKER belonged to that nu-
merous class, who are neither better nor
worse than other men. Left an orphan
in his Infancy, the path of life was rough
and lonely at the outset. He had a vi
olent temper and good heart. The
first was often reused into activity, and
punished with energy kindred to it's
ewD3 the last remained almost undevel
oped, for want of genial circumstances
and reciprocated affection. One soften
ing gleam fell upon his early path, and
he loved it like the sunshine, without
comprehending the great Law of attrac-
tion that made it 50 very pleasant
When he attended school in the winter
months, he always walked home with
little girl named Mary Williams. On
the play ground he was with her, always
ready to do battle with any one " ho
disobliged her. Their comrades laugh
ed, and called him Mary's beau; and
they both blushed and felt awkward,
though they had no idea what courting
meant Things had arrived at this state
of halfrevealed consciousness, he being
fourteen years old and Mary twelve,
when her friends removed to the West,
and the warm, bright influence passed
cut of his life. He never rightly knew
whether he was in love with Mary, but
years afterward, when people talked to
him about marrying, he thought of her,
wondering where she was, and whether
she remembered him. When he drove
his COWS home from pasture, the black
berry bushes on the way brought up
visions of his favorite schoolmate, with
her clean cape bonnet thrown back, her
glossy brown hair playing with the winds,
and her innocent face smiling upon him
with friendly greeting She was the
best and prettiest child I ever saw" be
often said to himself; "I wonder wheth-
er she would be as pleasant now."-
Sometimes be thought of going to the
West and seeking her out. But he knew
not whsge to find her; his funds were
small. and his courage sunk at the
thought. sob, it is many years since
we were children together. Perhaps I
should find her married" Gradually
this one ray Of poetry faded out of his
soul, and all his thoughts fell to the
common prosaic mould. His lot was
cast with rough people, who required
much work, and gave him little sympa-
thy. The image of his little mate float
ed farther and farther away; and more
and more seldom her clear blue e. es
smiled upon him through the rainbow
mists of the past, or from the air-castles
of the future. In course of time be
married, after the fashion that large
proportion os men do: because it was
convenient to have a wife, and there was
a woman of good character in the neigh
borhood, willing to marry whoever first
offered her respectable home Her
character bore the stamp of harmless
She was industrious and patient, but
ignorant, dull and quietly obstinate.-
The neighbors said she was we'll suited
to him, ho vas SO tough and passionate
