who lost his life by the cavng Of drift and
whose body was found by a company, while
slucing many months after. There is little
Of poetry in the lines, but the tale they tell Is
one which every old miner can fill out with the

But he from his lauuts was missed one day
His cabin neglected, deserted lay
And his frieuds searched for him far and near,
Whispering tales Of theft and murder there.
His letters long in the post remained,
While his friends, ut home, were sad and panied,
For they could not help the intrudng thought
That gaining wealth had hardened his heart.

And weeks few by, and months too, passed,
No tdings came of that miner lost;
At length a hydraulic was set on the ground,
And a skeleton form in a drift was found

The miner had been 'coyoting' there,
And, crushed by the bank, his grave was made,
He laid buried there with his pick and spake.

TRIBUTE TO MERITED WORTH.

THE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
l. often met in life, that testimonials, prompted
by the finer feelings of the heart are oasis in the
life of those who sacrifice their best days in philan-
thropc devotion to the alienation of the ills of
frail mortality. Empiricism foods the columns
of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their egotistcal
charlatanism Below we append letter from
worthy man who, brief period since, seemed
destined to shuttle off this mortal COLL who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand of disease can Contrary to hope, the ability
Of a skilful physician has restored him TO his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent and his statement is au-
thenticated by notary public. The demands of
society imperiously command its publicity and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises of physician of whom scores Of like
cases can be cited

The Greai Atlantic Telograph cab!e

The splendid screw steam ireate NIAGARA be-
longing to the United States Of America. took
her departure from the Mersey on Monday last,
having on board one half Of the great Atlantic
telegraph cable manufactured by Messrs Newall
" Co.. OF Birkenhead As might have been eX-
peeled, large number Of spectators crowded
the landing stage and the several per-heads, TO
witness this fine vessel leave the river: but 9th
erwise there was no public demonstration in the
way Of firing guns or display Of flags from the
vessels in the docks. The great weight Of the
cable had the effect Of making her draw twenty
three and half feet Of water, and consequently
the utmost caution had to be used to prevent her
grounding in crossing the bar. There were three
Liverpool pilots on board, who accompanied the
steamer to Cork,
For some days before the sailing of the Mag
ara considerable misapprehension prevailed that
the Atlantic telegraph cable had been spoiled in
the construction, in consequence of the twist of
the spiral wires Of the half manufactured at Birl
enhcad being exactly the opposite direction to
the twist Of the wires in the half made at Green
wich and the resalt would be that the cable
could not be so joined as to effect Il thorough
current. A blunder in this respect certainly has
occurred. and when Joined in the centre Of the
Atlantic the wires will form right hand and a
left hand screw, and the tendency Of each will be
to assist the other to untwst and expose the core.
The Tlmcs, in noticing the subject, says that by
attaching a solid weight to the centre Joined, it
is hoped this difficulty and danger may be over
come, but none attempt to conceal that the mis-
take is much to be regretted. '-LiuerpO0L Times.

CERTIFICATE.

The undersigned, desirous of acuuainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly
afflicted where permanent relief of their suffer-
ngs may be obtained, he feels it his duty to thus
publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. l.. j.
Czapkay, for the permanent recovery OF his
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 trifling 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 traing importance, but. alas
after Il few weeks, and in several instances
months, of their treatment, found to my unut-
terablc horror that instead Ofrelef 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, dcspared of ever reeaining
my health strength and energy and as n last
resort, and without faint hope, called upon Dr.
Czapkay who, after examining my case. pre-
scrbed some medicine which almost instantly re-
lieved me Of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by this result, resolved to
place myself Immediately under his care, and, by
a stmct obedience to his directions and advice
my head became clear, my ideas collected. the
constant pain i'll my back aud groins, the weak
ness Of my limbs, the nervous re action of my
whole system on the sli ighest alarm or excitement

charges have all disappeared, and, in fact, in two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt
as If inspired by a new life--that which but
short time ago, contemplated to end by my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from FAIL
ing into the snares of incompetent quacks, deem
1t my duty to offer this testimony to the merit
and dsklll OF DR.. Czapkay, and recommend him to
all who may stand in need of medical advice be-
ing assured by my own experience that, once un-
der his care, a radical and permanent cure will
be effected. b f. FILLMORE
