feelings of the heart in the life Of those who
sacrifice their best days in phlanthropic devotion to
the alienation of the ills Of fra mortality. Empir
cism floods the columns Of press with fraudulent
and fictitious letters singing pGans to the worth Of
their own egotistcal charatanism. Below we append
certificate from worthy man, who a brief period
since seemed destined to "shuie of his mortal COLL;
who lookedforward 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 former health
relieved from his terrible situation and impelled by
gratitude he makes known his case and his remedial
agent and his statement is authenticated by Notary
Public. The demands Of society imperiously com
mand 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 undersigned, desrOus Of acquainting those Who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted
where a permanent relief Of their suierings may Be
Obtained feels II his duty 10 thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude 10 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 trang
duty imposed by the daily avOcat0ns Of life, sought
the advice Of many physicians, who al first regarded
my disease as Of triing importance; but, alas after
few weeks and in several instances months Of their
treatment, found, to my unutterable horror, that,
instead Of relief my symptoms became more alarming
In their torture and being told by one that my disease
being principally confined 10 the brain, medicine
would be Of little consequence despaired Of ever ne
gaining my health strength and energy; and, IS 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. Encounged
by the result, ] resolved 10 place myself under his
care and by strict obedience 10 all bis directions and
advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected, he
constant pain 10 my back and groins, the Weaknei VI
my limbs, the nervous reaction Of my whole body On
the slightest alarm or excitement the misanthrOpy and
evil foTebodlngs the selfdistrust and want Of conf.
dence In Others the incapability to study and want Of
resolution the frghtful exciting and at tines pleas
urable dreams by night, followed by involuntary dis.
charges, have all disappeared, and In fact IN two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt as u
inspired by a new lfe-that life which, short tine
ago, ! contemplated to end with my own hand.
With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares Of incompetent quacks, detm my

IT'S morn; the sea.breeze seems to bring
Joy, health and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew
And perfumes rise from every grove,
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkin clear
But am sad-thou art not here.
'Tis noon: calm unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep;
A soft haze, like fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream;
And many broad magnolia flower,
Enriched with beauty as its dover,
Is cleaning like lovely star;
But am sad--thou art afar. -- ...,..
IT'S eve: on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes;
The stars come down, and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the waves below:
And like some unseen sprite, the breeze
Seems lingering mid the orange-trOes,
Breathing its music round the spot;
But am sad see thee not.
'Tis midnight; with soothing spell
The far tones of the ocean swell,
Soft as a mothers cadence mild,
Low bending DER her sleeping child;
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mocking-bird
In many wild and wondrous lay:
But am sad-thou art away.
sink in slumbcr, sweet and clear,
Thy own sweet voice is in my ear,
Around my check thv tressc- twine;
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine;
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed;
Thy head is pillowed ON my breast
Oh! Thave all my heart holds dear,
And am happy-ihou art hero!
