which deserves high commentator, not only AS an
act of scientific skill but of humanity, also. About
two years ago, suddenly, and from causes unknown
To me- was seized with tit Of epilepsy, which, owing
to my inability to Iucct the expenses consequent u-
on u thorough medical treatment and the discour-
agcuient | met with on attempting il, soon became
such Gas WAS then led to beevr) defy the skill
Of physician. was frequently, while in pursuit of
nay calling, thrown down to the ground without the
slig'rs; warning. and although nsensble to the ag
onieS, ygt despisrd the miseries Of my life, and
snnn learned to look upon those who would render
assistance shelter from danger ms enemies who
sought to prolong the existence Of my rIiserics-
While in this state, and having previous to my allie
ton tasted the sweets of life once more was in
duced to attempt seeking aid Of physician, and by
recommendation, called upon Dr. l.. J. Czapkay
told him my circumstances and my inability to
ward him for his services regardless Of which, how
ever, lac undertook my case, and with the blessing of
God was once more restored to perfect health
unable reward him for the boon which | enjoy at
present, and yet conscious OF my Indebtedness, |
consider il due myself and to all afflicted to make
the public. in order that those in need of medi.
cal advice may find physician in whom every con-

by hard labor for a few years past, some

Ever Eeeking-n 'Ur enjoying;
Still to be, but never bleSt.
Woman, eOntentcd in silent repose,
Enjoys in its beauty lifc's flower a II blows,
And waters and tends it with innucrnt heart,
Far richer than man with his treasure OF art;
And User by far in the circles confined,
Than he in his Sileuce and lights Of the mind.

chances Of the sword. Neither Germany
nor England nor France, is held in scah-
bard. At this day when Waterloo is only

many has Goethe, and above Wellington,
England has Byron. A vast uprising Of

this aurora England and Germany have a

they bring to civilization is intrinsic to
them; it comes from themselves and not

which they have made in the nineteenth
century does not spring from Waterloo.
1t is only barbarous nations who have n
