where permanent relief of their snaerings NAV be
obtained, feels it his duty to thus publicly exnres his
most sincere gratitude to Dr. l.. j. Czapkav for the
permanent recovery Of his health. Borne down bv
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious Drac
uce OF uncomfortable passion in youth depressed in
body and mind unable to perform even the most tr
ding duty imposed upon the daily avocatons of life
sought the advice OF many physicians who at first re-
sarued my disease as of trIIng Importance but alas
after lew weeks and in several instances months of
their treatment found to my una tterabe horror thai
instead OF RELIEF my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture and, being told by one that NV
being principally confined to the BRAIN medicines
would be OF little consequence, despared of ever re-
gaining my health, strength and energy and as last
resort, ana with but faint hope called upon DIR
Czapkay, who, after examining my case prescribed
some medicine which almost instantly relieved me nj
the dull pain and dizziness in my head Encouraged
by this result, resolved to place myself immediately
unuer ms care and by strict obedience to all his d-
rectons and advice, my head became clear my ideas
collected, the constant pain in my back ard Croins

VALUE OF SLEEP.-Dr. Alexander was ofte
heard to say in substance as follows Clergy
man, authors, teachers, and other men of re =
Elective habits, lose much health by losing sleep,
and this because they carry their trains of
, thought to bed with them. In my earlier years
l greatly injured my health by studying my
sermons in bed. The best thing one can do, is
to take caro- of the last half-hour before retiring
Devotion beipgfeuded, something may be done
to quiet the strings Of the harp which other
wise would go on to vibrato. Let me commend
to YOU this maxim, which somewhere learned
from DR.. Watts, who says that in his boyn
hood he received it from the lips of DR.. John
Owen-a very geod pedigree for a maxim :
Break the chain of thoughts at bedtime by
something at once serious and agreeable. By
all means break the continuity, or sleep will be
vexed, even if not driven away. If you wish
to know my method, it is to turn over the pages
of my English Bible, alighting on passage
here, a passage there, backward and forward
without plan, and without allowing my mind
to fasten on any, leaving any place the moment
it ceases to interest me, Some tranquilzing
word often becomes divine message of peace
He giveth his beloved Sleep"

The Interior of North America

Professor Henry of the Smithsonian Instit,-
tlon has collected facts respecting the interior
OF the United States, which will command the
attention of scientific men and statesmen. The
induction from these facts is, that the entire
region of the United States, west of the 9sth
degree west longitude, (say the western bound
ary of Minnesota,) with the exception of
small portion of Western Texas and the narrow
border along the Pacific (ncluding California;
as sterile ~aste Of comparatively lille 1olote,
and which can never be available to the agri-
culturist. The Importance of this statement
will be more fully comprehended when it is
considered that the line of Professor Henry.
which extends southward from Lake Winnereg
70 the Mexican Gulf, will divide the surface sf
the United States into two nearly equal parts
The intense heat and extreme dryness Of this
region, which will make the Great American
plains barren waste forever, is caused to
large extent, according to Professor Henry's
theory, by the fact that the returning Trade
Winds, sweeping over the elevated masses Of
the Rocky Mountains, are deprived of their
moisture; in other words, the heated air which
ascends at the equator, saturated with moisture
it has extracted in its passage over the ocean,
after depositng a portion Of its vapor in the
tropics at the rainy seasons, is further de4scat-
ed by the ridges and mountains which it meets,
the vapor being condensed on the windwara
side by the cold due to the Increased vertical
hight, and it finally passes over and strikes the
plains as dry as a sponge which has been thor
oughly squeezed. Without moisture there
can be no fertility, no agriculture; and great
portion of this wilderness, according to Prof.
Henry, is as irredeemably barren, for the pur-
poses of agriculture, as the deserts of Africa
If this theory be true, it will greatly modify the
opinions which have been entertained by poll
ticians and statesmen of the future destiny OF
