onest desire

Prompted by an honest desire Of my heart, wish
to lay before the public a case which deserves a com
mendaton, not only as an act of scientific skill, but
that OF humanity also. About two years ago l sui
denly, and from causes unknown to me, was seized
with fit of Epilepsy, which, owing to my inability TO
meet the expenses consequent upon thorough med-
cal treatment, and the dscOuragement which met
with on attempting it, soon became such las was then
led to belieye) to defy the skill of any physician

down to the ground without The slightest warming and
although nsensible to the agones, yet despised the
miserie3 of my le and soon learned to look unon
those who would render assistance or shelter me from
danger as enemies who sought to proong the existence
of my miseries. While in this state, and having pre.
vous to my aHlcton, tasted the sweets of life once
more was induced to attempt seeking aid of physi-
clan, ana, by recommendation, called upon Dr. H. j
Czapkay. told him of my circumstances and of INV
nabily TO reward him for his services regardless Of
which, however, he at once undertook my case and
with the blessing of God, once more restored o
perfect health. Unable to re ward him for the boon
which enjoy at present, and yet cious of INV in
dsbtedness consider it due TO myself and all afflicted
TO make The case public, in order that those in need
ofmedical advice may find physician in whom ever,
confidence can be placed.

PAIRED, NOT MATCHED.


Il was reading novel that brought me to this =
romantic description Of lovers and bliss,
And Of two hearts that mingled in one as they should,
So Vowed I'd get married as fast az could.
rIremember the charms of the heroine fair - --,
The shectonate child of great riilionairs,
With nature poetic-a classical face,
And figure unequalled for beauty and grace
And sought through the country and cay to find
young maiden that all these attractions combined
With a" spirit congenial" to see
The enchantress that somewhere was destined for me-
AT hop" by the seaside met with belle,
And VIC waltzed to the music's vouptuous swell"
Then together strolled for the air on the sand
While she gazed at the mOOhbeans offered my hand.
She accepted-"Ah happy indeed was my lot!"
exclaimed as pictured true love in a cot
We were married in grandeur could not afford,
So we took, in Fifth Avenue, "rooms without board"
ii
must take for the far west" the four O'Clock train
1t is three, and search for my clothing in vainl
Ny umbrella has vanished-and oh how it pours =
There's no wardrobe in wardrobe--no drawers in
drawers
must wear the old coat which is tattered and torn,
And these shabby paidpant, and this felt hat forlo
And these leaky patched boots which my ankles dis
tress
For my ills and myself can find no redress
imagined, while single and wooing my fair,
| should happiness find in the peace of pair
For this error of judgment my grief is sincere
When courted dear one, caught one too dear
Not a soul in the house l-all are out Of the way,
For my wife is attending the grand matinee
She embrOiders, sings, promenades dances and Hirs,

What Tbcy 80 ;Dou, II,

The New York Day Book gives its readers
the following article, which we publish as
a good gun fror, the North, whose report
should be heard by Southerners with admi-
ration:
"THosE ELEVEN OBSTINATE FELLows."-
The Washington Constitution refers in the
following quite explicitmanner to the proceed
ings at Charleston, and very forcibly shows
how wrong is the course of the Northern
Delegates in determining really to break up
the party rather than give such platform of
principles as is just to both sections -
a WEAK INVENTION OF THE Trumpet
ERs."-The wretched attempt of some OF the
"trumpeters from Charleston 70 stigmatize
the Southern Delegations by the charge of
of aiming at a dissolution of the Union " i'll
scarcely impose on the most credulous reader.
The retort, it is obvious, is both cogent and at
hand for those who, obstinately bent upon
denying to the South the great principle of
the equality of the States and the guarantees
requisite for the maintenance of that princi-
pie, have exasperated the jealousy and foster
ed the distrust which alienated men that, in
1856, could stand on one and the same plat
form. If the Democratic party is, indeed,
ever to be broken up-if the Union is now
endangered-thc blame must rest not upon
those who insist upon the recognition of that
vital principle, but rather on those who would 1
resist, ignore, or submerge It. When the /
States that are certain to give their electoral
votes for Democratic candidate find it due .
to their safety as wen as their principles to
leave a convention wherein States that are
sure to go for the Republican candidate die
tate platform, they can scarcely be accused
of anything but faithful adl.ssSace to their
principles and the security of their own re-
gon- For those who can scarcely promise
IN electoral vote to complain Of their per
inacity, calls to mind the rpp7oach of the
loncst juryTnan upon tiivse eleren obstinate
tltO'cs" whom he could not cozen, cajole or ,

Better Late than Never.

Life is a race where some succeed,
While others are beginning;
IT'S luck at times, at others speed,
That gives an early winning,
But if you chance to fall behind,
Ne'er slacken your endcavor,
Just keep the wholesome truth in n.:ad:
"ris better late than never.
If you can keep ahead It's WE'LL
But never trip your neighbor;
'Tis noble when you can excel
BY honest patient labor.
But if you are outstrippcd at last,
Press on as bold as ever;
Remember though you are surpassed,
'Tis better late than never!
Ne'er labor for an idle boast
OF victory DER another;
But while you strive your uttermost
Deal fairly with brother.
Whatc'er your station, do your best,
And hold your purpose ever;
And if you fail to beat the rest
IT'S better late than never!
Choose well the path in which you run
Succeed by noble daring;
Then, though tl'c ils., when once It's won,
Your crown is worth lie wearing.
Then never feel ii lett behind
Nor shaken your endeayor;
But ever keep this truth in mind;
'Tis better late than neverl

quired the power of distinguishing the sound
of every knocker within hearing. She fell
