be or tie Oath of April this year, last fell
on that day in 1871, and will not fall on
the same date again till 20ll. Since
the introduction of the Gregorisn Alma
nae this has only been the case in iht
years 1899, 1907 and 1901. The pe,iod
in which Easter can fall, reaches from the
22nd OF March (earIies, da,e) to the 25Ih
of April --latest date. leaving ,hiry-five
different days for the celebration of this
festival. In this century Easter will fall
only once 1850 on the latest date, the
18th of April.

To the Athlete d.

r.. l.. j. CZAPKAY returns his sincere
~ thanks to his numerous patients for their
patronage, and would take this opportunity to-
remind them that he continues to consult at
his Institute for tae cure of all forms of pri-
vate diseases-such as syphilis, gonorrhea,
nocturnal emissions and all the consequences
of self-abuse. In the first stages of syphilitic
or gonorrheal diseases, he guarantees cure
in few days, without inconvenience to the
patient or hindrance to his business. When a
patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has
developed the secondary symptoms of syphilis,
such as buboes or painful swellings on the
groins or ulcers in the throat and nose, which,
if not checked, destroy the soft parts and cause
the bones to mortify, separate and come away,
leaving the sufferer an object hideous to be-
hold; or when blotches and pimples break out
on the skin, or when he has painful swellings
upon the bones, or when his constitution is
injured SO as to pre-dispose to consumption or
other constitutional disease, the doctor guar
antees cure or asks no compensation.
In rheumatism, chronic or acute in dysen-
terry or diarrh9a, he has safe and effectual
remedies. For the treatment of the conse-
quences of self-abuse, such as nocturnal ennis
sions, nervousness, timidty, headache, pains
in the back and limbs, with general weakness,
loss of appetite, loss of memory, injury to the
sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike
for society, and feeling of WEAKNESS of life !;
with the nervous system so excitable that
slight noises shock or startle the patient, max
ing his existence miserable. For the above
maladies the Doctor will guarantee cure or
ask no compensation. He can be consulted
free of charge, and invites all to CALL as it will
cost them nothing, and may be much to their
advantage. Office hours from A. NJ to p NJ.

Remarkable Instance of Medical Relief.
Thanktulness is the Incentipe to Gratitude.
CERTIFICATE.

CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, desirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief Of
their suferings may be obtained feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to DR.. L. j. Czapkay for the perma-
nent recovery of his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the VIZ
cious practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mino, unable TO
perform even the most triflng duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease of trifing Importance
but, alas after few weeks, and in several
instances, months of their treatment, found,
to my unutterable horror, that instead of re-
lief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture and, being told by one that my
disease being principally confined to the brain,
medicines would be of little consequence,
despaired of ever regaining my health, strength
and energy; and, as a last resort, and with but
a 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 directions and ad-
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collect
ed, the constant pain in my back and groins,
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reac-
ton of my whole body on the slightest alarm
or excitement the misanthropy and evil for
bodngs; the self-distrust and want of conf
denee in others; the incapability to study, and
want of resolution the frightful, exciting and
at all times pleasurabIe dreams at night, fol-
lowed by involuntary discharges, have all dis
appeared and, in fact, in two months, after
having consulted the Doctor, felt as if in
spired by new life-that life which, but q
short time ago, contemplated 20 end with my
own hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snares of incompetent quacks,
deem it my duty to offer this testimony to
the merits and skill of DR.. Czapkay, and rec
ommend him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own eI-
perience, that once under his care radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

VALUE OF INGENUITY AND INDU

VALUE OF INGENUITY AND INDUSTRY.
Both the main and the hair springs of
watches are made of steel first drawn into
wire, ln the former description of spring,
the workman gives to the material its
wonderful elasticity, by hammering it out
upon an anvil; it is then ground. har
dened, coiled and tempered by blueing as
we see it. The manufacture of the lat
ter article has frequently been selected as
an illustration of the extent to which tho
value OF material of small intr;ns;c
worth may be raised by the application Of
industry and ingenuity. "a pound Of
crude iron costs one cent; it is converted
INTO steel; that steel is made into watch
springs, every one of which is sold for
about two dollars and half, and weighs
only the tenth of grain after deduct
ing for waste, there are in the pound

CRINOLINE IN RHYME.-A lady with
crlnoline was walking down the street
her feathers futtering in the air, her
hoops stuck out some feet. She walked
the earth as if she felt of it she was no
sart, and proudly did she step along, for
pride was In her heart She did net see
curly dog which walked close by her
side, all save the curly tail of which her
crinoline did hide. His tail the dog with
pleasure shook-it futtered in the wind,
and from the ladys crinoline stuck out a
foot behind. A crowd the tail did soon
espy, as it waved to and fro, and like a
rudder seemed to point the way the maid
must go. The curly dog, right pleased
was he, with the quarters he had got, and
walked beside the lady in a kind of dog
trot. Each step the lady now did take
served to increase the train, while those
who follow in her wake, roared out with
might and main. Some held their sides,
they laughed SO hard, and others fairly
cried, while many even still confess they
had 'liked to died." But still the lady
sailed along in crinoline and pride, un-
mindful of the crowd behind or dog close
by her side. But soon another dog es-
pied the tail which futtered free, it so
provoked his doggish ire, he could not
let it be. But with deep, ferocious
growl, for battle straight he went, and
meath the lady's crinoline both dogs were
quickly pent. They fought, It's said, an
hour or more-the lady nothing knew
but with her head erect sailed on, and did
her way pursue. Some say she never
would have known at all about the fight,
had not one dog mistook and gave her
'limb" an awful bite. But since that
day I've heard it said, that lady ne er
was seen upon the street with SO much
pride and such crinoline.
