CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, ,desirous of acquanting those who
NAV be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted
where permanent relief of their suferings may be
obtaned feels it 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 ri
fling duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life,
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
garded my disease of trhing Importance; but alas
after few weeks, and in several instances months of
their treatment found to my unutterabe horror that
instead of relief 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 despared of ever re-
gaining nv health strength and energy and a last
resort and with but faint hope called upon DR..
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed
medicine which almost instantly relieved me OF
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged
by the result, resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and by strict obedience to all his d.
rections and advice, my head became clear, my ideas
collected, the constant pain in my back and gr0ins
the weakness of my limbs the nervous reaction of my
whole body on the slightest alarm or excitement the
msanthropy and evil forebodings the self-disrust
and want Of confidence in Others the incapabiity
study and want of resolution, the frighfu exciting,
and at times, peasurable dreams by night, followed
by Involuntary discharges, have all disappeared, and
fact in two months after having consulted the Doc
tor felt if inspired by life-that life which
a short time ago, contemplated TO end with my
hand.
With a 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 recommend him to all who may
stand in need of medical advice, being assured by
own experience that under his care, a radical

called upon to give publicity to his treatment hoping
that by doing may be instrumental in preventing

Prompted by an honest desire of my heart / wish

Rosa Bonheur is about TO visit the
United States professionally. An opu-
lent French gentleman, an enthusiast in
art. some time since commissioned her
ladyship to cross the Atlantic, and pro-
ceed to the great prairies of the far West,
and paint, from life, herd of wild buff
faloes. She was TO take her own time,
accomplish it in her own way, and fix
her own price. At first she declined to
entertain the proposition. but finally, af.
ter turning it over in her own mind, and
refecting what an original and splendid
work she could make, she has accepted
the offer. and comes over in the Spring to
make the picture"

Passing Away.


Idler, who flittest on butterfly wing,
Round the bright candle of pleasure
Heed not the evil the morrow may bring,
Quaf present Joy in full measure
Sip from the flowers that are blooming to- day,
Forthe fashion of this world is passing away.
Hasten, fond lover, thy suit to obtain
Ere youth and beauty have vanished;
Age, if it comes, may bring sorrow and pain,
Clouding the hopes thou hast cherished;
Bask in the smiles that are beaming to day,
For the fashion ofthis world is passing away.
While thy strength lasts, busy laborer, toll
Health, even life, may forsake thee;
Time and mischance may thy purposes foil
Night viii e'er long overtake thee
Do what thy hand finds to do, while 'tis day,
For the fashion of this world is passing away.
Gloat, greedy miser, gloat over thy gold,
'Tis well thus to squander thy leisure
Heaven and thyself thou hast bartered and sold
Count up the cost ofthy treasure,
See If thy Judas like bargain will pay
For the fashion of this world is passing away.
Warrior, fight on, till life's battle is done,
Though thou art war-scarred and CORY
Be not content with thy past laurels won,
Go on from glory to glory;
Strike thou in earnest, be brave in the fray,
For the fashion of this world is passing away.
Martyr, crushed down byoppression and wrong
Faint not, thou hast Gods assurance
If to the end thou art faithful and strong,
He will reward thine endurance
Wait thouin patience, stand firm till that day
For the fashion of this world is passing away
Ye who are striving to win you name,
Ie who are struggling for station,
Follow your phantoms of honor and fame,
Dream of their realization
Joy in the things of this life while you may,
For the fashion of this world is passing away

Two Elopements in one Family on the
Same Night.

In our last issue we noticed the fact
that young couple from Fayette Coun-
tv, Kentucky, arrived at the Burnet
House. Tuesday night, and were married
Immediately after. the young man being
greatly alarmed lest his father. who he
once thought he saw at station on the
railway between this city and Cynthiana,
was in close pursuit, and m light arrive in
time to tear his betrothed from his arms.
The sequel to the story, which was de-
velopsd few hours later. is as follows !:
While the young couple were receiv-
ing the congratulations of those who had
witnessed the ceremony at the Burnet
House, a similar tragedy or comedy
whichever the reader please-was being
enacted at the Spencer House. The
young man had not mistaken when he
thought he saw his father on the road,
for the old rascal, who, it seems, was in
the same humor with his son, had actual
ly eloped with young widow in his
neighborhood, and came to this city on
the same errand, and on the same train.
They escaped recognition by taking, as
it happened, different cars, and different
hotels.
When the young man learned how
matters stood. accompanied BY his bride,
he repaired 10 the Spencer House, and
handing his card up to the old gentleman.
who little suspected that his hopeful off
spring was in the city. much less marri-
ed, he came down unattended. when the
following conversation took place:
"Well, sir, what are you doing here %
learned last evening, that you were
about to elope with widow -, and
have followed you to the city to see if it
could be possible that you would do
such thing
That's very considerate in YOU

Certainly you do. or should; but
what would you say if l were TO do as

Say? Why, 1 would say you had
more spirit than ever gave you credit
for possessing"
Wouldn't you be angry 90
"Of course not, you dog /; what
makes you ask such silly question as
that -
The young blood here began a series
of gymnastic exercises, which made the
old gentleman think his son had been
suddenly deprived of his wits. A mo-
ment after, however. the young man
darted out Of the room, and before the
father could regain his self-possession, he
returned with his blushing bride when
the two bent down before him, and halt
audibly said Your blessing"
1t was now the old gentleman's turn
to play mad, but comprehending and
forgiving him all in moment, he only
said

bad now, what will you be when you have
my years? Come up stairs and see your
