CERTIFICATE.

The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who
may be unfortunate enough TO be similarly afflicted,
where permanent relief Of their snlerings may be
obtained feels 1t his duty to thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude to DR.. l.. j. Czapkay for the
permanent recovery Of his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious prac
tice Of uncomfortable passion in youth depressed in
body and mind, unable TO perform even the most tri
sought the advice of many physicians who at first re-
Sarded my disease as of trng importance; but alas
after few weeks, and in several instances months of
their treatment found to my nutterabe horror that
instead Of relief, my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture and being told by that my disease
being principally confined to the brain, medicines
would be of little consequence, despared of ever re-
gaining my health, strength and energy and as n last
resort, and with but faint hope, called upon DR..
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed
some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged
by this result, resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and by strict obedience to all his di
rectons and advice my head became clear, my ideas
collected the constant pain in my back and groins
the weakness of my limbs the reaction of my
whole body on the slightest alarm excitement the
msanhropy and evil forebodings the self-distrust
and want of confidence in others the ncapabity to
study, and want of resolution the frghtfu exciting
and at all times pleasurabe dreams at night followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared; and
in fact in two months after having consulted the Doc
tor felt II inspired by lifethat life which
but a short time ago, contemplated TO end by my
own hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from falling in
to the snares Of incompetent quacks deem II my du-
ty to offer this testimony to the merits and skill of DR.
Czapkay ard recommend him to all who may stand in
need of medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
perience, that under his care radical and per-
manent cure will be effected. b. \. FnLMoRE,

I've drained the sparkling wine-cup, I've

I've drank Of every vintage, from Schiraz to

From Schloss Johannesberger the glory of
the Rhine,
To prime imperial Tokay, that fam'd Hun
garian wine;
With the sherry sack Of Shakespeare, from
Here's vine clad land,
And the rosy grape, that bushes on sweet
Madeira's strand.
Yes, l have bath'd my lips in each e~cstatic
wine,
That gushes from the golden grape, or the
Tyrian purple vine,
That flashes from the sunbeams, with hues
Of crimson bright,
Or sparklesin my glass, with rays Of dazzling
light;
But the sparkling di'mond water hat gushes
from the spring,
Is a beverage more BETTING the peasant or
the king:
II never raises fever, the pulse beats free and
calm,
And the aching temples it can sooth like
Gilend's blessed balm
II comes pouring on the throbbing, the fe'

And like the precious dew of Hermon quick

Fresh from the crystal fountain, for every il

The two Apples.

When small, my friend and myself were
met by an old lady who held two apples in
her hand. One was perfectly red, which
almost charmed US both ; the other, though
as large, was of a diugy green color, and
neither Of US preferred it. BY my impor-
t%uuities, | at length obtained choice. My
friend, of course, took the other but |
could not help feeling sorry for her, as
with watery eyes she stood and humbly
gnzed at my large red apple, and then at
her ugly one. / kept my own however,
and she hers. After awhile we concluded
to eat them, when she proposed that we
should swap half an apple; but ! was de-
termined 10 hold ON to my lawful property.
! tasted mine, and it was little better than
a wild crab so | threw it away. Hers
was as delicious as possible. l have often
thought Of those I'VE Apples.
l knew two sisters: Mary and Jane
When arrived at maturity, Mary chose a
partner who was wealthy and beautiful,
but who loved the contents Of the bottle.
Jane welded a little ugly, poor man, but
he was sober. Mary is now a dcsolate
widow, with three OF four little children,
occupying a leaky, smoky hut, and but fol

n the death Of my Mother and Brother.
Mother is gone Brother is gonel
The bright spirits have fed;
Those forms once so lovely,
Lie ssnseless and dead
Death has set his dark seal
On each fair brow,
And those warm hearts,
Beat not for me now.
Brother is gone! and low now he lies,
In his distant lonely led,
And the roseate bloom, in the silent tomb,
Frsn his cheek has vanished and fed;
The bright eye is sealed,
And the soft lip is closed,
Where once love and feeling
So sweetly reposed.
Mother is gone God has taken,
Mine own precious mother,
My bosom's treasure,
My pride and my life;
She is singing the sweeter
In her Saviour's domain
Be calm, bleeding heart,
For your loss is their gain.
