publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. L. j.

health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices of uncomfortable
passion in youth, depressed in body and mind
unable to perform even the most trifing duty i'm
posed upon the daily avOcatiOns Of life, sought
the advice of many physicians, who at first regard
cd my disease as of triiling Importance but. alas
after few weeks and in several instances
months Of their treatment. found. to my unut-
terabe horror. that instead Ofrelief the symptoms
became more alarming in their torture. and being
finally told by one that the disease being prnci-
pally confined to the brain medicines would be of
little consequence. despaired of ever regaining
my health. strength and energy and as n last
resort, and without faint hope, called upon DR..
Czapkay. who after examining my case. pre-
scrlbed some medicine whchplmost instantly re-
licvcd me Of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head Encouraged Ivy this result, resolved to
place myself Immediately under his care. and hy
strict obedience to his directions and advice,
my head became clear, my ideas collected the
constant pain in my back and groins. the weak
ness Of my limbs. the nervOus reaction of my
whole system on the Slight stalarm or excitement,
the misanthropy and evil forhodine. the selfdis-

months after having consulted the Doctor, felt
as if inspired by n new lfc-that which, but u
short time ago, contemplated to end by my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares Of incompetent quacks, deem
it my duty to offer this testimony to the merit
and skill OF Dir. Czapkay, and recommend him TO
all who may stand in need Of med cal advice, be-

She had been mother, and though her
children slept under the sod in the church

Mrs. Swisshelm in letter to the Jour-
nal gives an account of the following case
which is sufficient to make any blood boil.
She says: 7 u- 1-f
sComing into town to-day, the 10th,
l met an old eolored woman, Mrs. Barbara
Barclay, who had resided ON the Braddock
Field farm until the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant runneth not to the contrary,
coming to the city to hunt proof that her
son is not a slave. f.a -.fa.
81 myself have known her. for some
thing in the neighborhood of thirty years !;
and some of the old people know that her
children have all been born in the house
where she now resides. But one of her
sons, James Barclay. has been running on
the river for years. She met me with a
troubled face. and handed me letter from
w. Bruce Thompson, Attorney at law of
St. Louis, to Col. Hawkins, saying, James
Barclay had been taken off his boat, and
imprisoned as a fugitive slave, and that be
will be sold as such unless he can bring
proof of his freedom. To hunt this proof
his poor old widowed mother had set out
in the midst of this terrible storm. She
has his dagurreotype, taken by Cmcin-
natl artist ten years ago. This she intends
forwarding, with her affidavit, that it is the
portrait of her son, born in Pennsylvania of
free parents. She will send the deposition
of Mrs. Coston, now wife of Rev. E. H.
Coston, and formerly wife of Col. Wallace,
proprietor of the Braddoek's Field Estate,
with that of several other persons who have
known all her children from, infancy"
Shame on US all, who boas. of our ''gi eat
freedom" Here is a person-who dare
say he is not man-certainly human
being, who is supposed to be a slave until
he can prove he is free man. Why in
our courts do we not reverse the immemo-
rial apothegm of the law and take every
man against whom lies an allegation of
crime, for criminal, until he proves him
self innocent? We have no doubt that
Barclay will get off from the river thieves,
but think of the degrading fact that man
is liable to be kidnapped upon wretch
swearing said man is his slave, in such
place and at such time as might be impos-
sible for the injured man to procure proof
of his right to freedom! There are MANY,
many cases, doubtless, which never meet
the public eye, of persons sold into life
long slavery under the tyrant's rule that
'might makes right"

The troubled eyes of the speaker were
filled with tears. 1t was lad that stood
at the door, pleading with kindly-looking
woman, who still seemed to doubt the re-
ality of his good intentions. s.s. :
The cottage sat by itself on bleak moor
or what in Scotland would have been called
such. The time was near the latter part
of November, and fierce wind ratified the
boughs of the naked trees near the house,
and fled with shivering sound in the mar
row doorway, as if seeking for warmth al
tie blazing fire within. aii
Now and then snowflake touched,
with its soft chill, the cheek of the listener,
or whitened the angryredness of the poor
boys benumbed hands. s IN
The woman was evidently unwilling to
grant the child's request; and the peculiar
look stamped upon his features would have
suggested to any mind an idea of deprayi-

taverns on Whitney's Point; all were en-

nothing on but his night gown, who,

CARRYING HOME BusDLEs.-Many peo-
pie have contemplate fear of being seen
to carry any bundle, however small, having
the absurd idea that there is social deg
radiation in the act. The most trifing as
well as the most weighty packages must be
sent home to them, no matter how much
to the Inconvenience ofothers. This arises
from low sort of pride. There is pride
that is higher, that arises from conscious
ness of there being something in the indi-
yidual not to be affected by such incidents
worth and weight of character The lat
ter pride was exhibited by the son Of Jo-
rome Napoleon Bonapartc. While he was
in college be, was one day carrying into his
room broom he had justpurchased, when
he met a friend, who noticing the broom,
with surprise exclaimed, "Why did you not
