Prompted by an honest desire Of my heart, wish
to lay before the public case which deserves com
mendation not only act of scientific skill hut
that Of humanity also. About two years ago sud .
denly, and from causes unknown to me, was seized
with fit of Epilepsy which, owing to my inability to
meet the expenses consequent upon a thorough nel.
cal treatment, and the discouragement which / met
with on attempting it, soon became such (as was then
led to heicve) as to defy the skill of any sican
was frequently, while in pursuit of my calling, thrown
down to the ground without The slightest warning: and
although nseusiple to the agouies yet dcspsed the
mseries OF my life, and soon learned TO look unou
those who would render assistance or shelter me from
danger as enemies who sought to prolong the tsteure
Of my msertes While in this state, and having pre.
VIous to my aiucton tasted the sweets of life once
more was induced to attempt seeking aid of pbyst-
clan, and, by recommendation, called upon Dr. H. /
CApkay, told him OF my circumstances, and of INV
tnaby to reward him for his services regardless of
which, however, he at once undertook my ease ami
with the blessing Of God, was once more restored IN
perfect health. Unable to re ward him for the boon
which enjoy at present, and yet conscious of nv in
debtedness consider it due to myself and all alIiced
TO make the case public, in order that those i'm need
oImedical advice may fld physician in whom every

TO-DAY AND TOMORROW.

A rosebud blossomed in my bower,
\ bird sang in my garden;
The rosebud was It's farest flower,
The bird It's gentlest warden.
And a child behind the linden tree
Sang, "Think no more of sorrow;
But let US smile and sing to-day,
For we must weep tomorrow.
l asked the bird, 40 didst thou hear
The song that she would sing thee?
And can it be that thou shOuldst fear
What the next morn would bring thee!
He answered with triumphant strain,
Saying, 81 know not sorrow;
But | must sing my best to-day,
For | may die tO-morrow y
asked the rose, go tell me, sweet,
In thy first beauty's dawning,
Thou canst not fear, from this retreat,
The coming of the morning
She flung her fragrant leaves apart,
The lovclier for the sorrow,
Saying, "Yet must bloom to-day,
For may droop tomorrow"
said, "The bloom upon my check
Is ficeting as the roses;
My voice no more shall sing or speak,
When dust in dust rePoscs;
And from these souIless monitors
One lesson | may borrow
That we should smile and sing to-day,
For We may weep Tomorrow.

Mrs Darlington came up to town to select
guardian for her precious Ike, and remarked as
follows:
GLOW the world has turned about to be sure!
tits nothin' but change, change! Only yesterday,
as it were, was in the country smelling the obi
Gus flowers; to-day am in the big city, my oilfac-
tories breathing the impure excavations OF coal
smoke that are so dillitory to my health. Instead
of the singing of birds, the humble-busses almost
depriye me of consciousness. Dear mel
Well, I hope I shall be restrained through it all.
They saw that the mortal urpentine of this city is
frightfu but it isn't any use to anticipate trouble
beforehand; he may escape all harmonious in
fuencs that would have tendency to hurt him;
and, as the minister of our parish said, with judi
cial training he may become useful member of
society," though training is bad generally, and apt
to make the young run to feathers, like crOpple
crowned hens But he has genius Oook at him)-
it comes natural to him, like the meals, and every
day it is endeveloping itself more and more"

THE WHITE MANS FLY.-Judge Simpson.
of Indiana. furnishes the Vincennes Gazette with
this scrap of history:
In the year l775, Minard Sturgess, grandfather
of Prof. Sturgess, of Hanover College, emigrated
to this country. bringing with him the first hive OF
bees ever seen in Wabash Valley. The Indians,
who had never seen any before, after being stung
a few times, called them the wEte mans fly, while
the French settlers became very much alarmed for
fear the bees would nure the fruit by sucking the
blossoms 1t is a fact that the honey bee is never
to be found in advance of civilization.

WHY DO CHILDREN DIE?

The reason why children die, says Halls Jour
nal of Health, is because they are not taken care
of: From the day of birth they are stuffed with
food, choked with physic suffocated in hot rooms,
steamed in bedclOthes. So much for iii doors.
When permitted to breathe breath of pure air
once a week in summer, anu once or twice during
the colder winter months, only the nose is permit
ted to peer into daylight \ little later they are
sent out with no clothes at ALL as TO the parts Of
the body which most need protection. Bare legs,
bare arms, bare necks, girted mdde-most, with an
inverted umbrella to collect the air and chill on
the other parts Of the body. a stout, strong man
goes out on a cold day with gloves and ovcrcoat
wooden stockings and thick, dOuble-soled boots,
with cork between aud rubbers over The same
day child of three years old, an infant i'll flesh
and blood, and bone and constitution. goes it with
socs as thin as paper cotton socks legs uncovered
to the knees, neck bare; an exposure which would
disable the nurse, kill the mother in fortnight,
and make the father an invalid for weeks. And
why TO harden them to mode of dress which
they are never expected to practice. To accustOm
them to exposure which, dozen years later would
be considered downri -ht foOlery To rear children
thus for the slaughter pen, and then lay it the
Lord, is too bad. We don't think the Almighty
has any hand in it. And to draw comfort from
the presumption that He has an agency in the
death of a child, in he manner of the quoted arti
Gle, is Pre- sumption and PROCLAMATION.

THE IsRALITEs AND ROMANIsTs IN CONFLICT.
DR. Lilienthal, Rabi of the Broadway Synagogue,
at Cincinnati, has addressed letter to Archbishop
Purcell, stating that absoution had been refused
by some of the priests under his charge to Catho-
lie servant girls living in Jewish fanatics; after
some entreates the right was performed, but under
the condition that they should leave these families
Dr. Lilienthal considers this act an insult to our
American constitutions, and, if repeated, league
will be formed by the Hebrew merchants of that
city, for the purpose of discharging at all the
thousands of Catholic workmen at present engaged
by their large merchantile houses. He urges the
bishop to use his influence to prevent such cal
amity.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE IMPENDING CRISIS.
An English editor enliohtens his readers upon
the subject of American affairs in the following
strain:
The boaStful Republic so much vaunted by vain
glorious Yankee seems to be on the brink of a
precipice from which retreat will be disgrace and
advance destruction. The wisest Of American
statesmen-Bonner, the Smith brothers, Aaron
and others-arc wrarg Cling in the House of Par
lament in the Columbia district, little
volume called the "Impcnding Crisis" written by
an octoroon named Heller, in which the author
proves that unless the States South of the State
of New Orleans agree to abolish negro slavery, the
North will supply them with no more shoe-pcg
and utter financial ruin will be the consequence
The members of Parliament who quarrel over this
singular book, betray all the American character
istics IN their savage abuse of each other, and
sometimes they even come to blows. The Hon.
Charles Sumner, one Of their number, was recently
fired upon by man named Hooks, and Just before
tie Asia sailed it was reported that a member
named Asking was caught in the act of throwing
awaya heavy rife, which he had previously man
aged to carry in pocket made expressly for il.
Though we have particular faith in the sta
biity Of what the Americans call their republican
Institutions we are sorry to see cousins work
ing their own ruin with the edge sword of political
incompatibity. As free-born Engishmen, we
are bound to sympathzc with the so-called Adolf
tiCnsts of the Northern States of Georgia, Nash

free the negroes from bondage Some of the
greatest men now living in America are blacks
the famous James Brown Was negro, therefore
the Governor of Harpcr's Ferry hung him Hor
ace Greedy, the famous journalist, is negro their
great sensation preacher, Henry Ward Bcecher, is
said to be quadroon. Yet despite such evidences
