A GROSS FRAUD.

A young man, named John Cowderoy, who had
been a grocer and tea-dealer, in Grafton street, Soho,
was opposed by Mr. Sargood, for Mr. Godwin, auc-
tioneer, and by Mr. Caarten, for Mr. Smith, a tea-
desler. lie defended himself.

From Mr. Godwin the insolvent obtained 291, and
three subsequent sums of small amount, by employ-
ing him to sell his freehold houses, and as usual
obtained the advances, giving him a letter on his
solicitor to hold the title deeds as security. An ap-
pointment was made at an attorney's office, the sale
having been effected by private contract, when Mr.
Godwin expected to receive the money, as also the
charges, making 1081. The property was sold for
upwards of 500/. The insolvent's attorney deducted
1201. as his charges; Mr. Godwin asked for his
money, and whilst he was looking on the floor for
half a sovereign which the insolvent said he had
dropped, the latter gathered up the cash from the
table and refused payment, saying, on being asked for
the money, that he " meant to call his creditors toge-
ther." He soon afterwards went out of the room to
speak to his father, who attended to be paid, and made
away with the money in his pocket. His account for
the money was that he had paid his cousin what he
owed him, and his father 1691. Altogether he had
paid his cousin 3751. He owed Mr. Smith 501. for
goods, and that creditor had not sued him, because he
promised to pay him out of the proceeds of the sale
of the freehold property. He had attended at the
attorney's to be paid, but an excuse was made by
the insolvent.

Mr. CAARTEN urged that there had been a frau-
dulent forbearance of the debt.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS :considered that the
section referred to was a very difficult one. It bad
not been enforced for twenty-four years.
The insolvent's own account of himself was that he
had expended 1601. in travelling expenses for his
health. He admitted that he had been to races in
his travels, and by batting had lost 1001. He paid his
relations because it was money borrowed.
His HoNouß told the insolvent, who had conducted
himself with great levity during the examination,
taking notes, and assuming an air of importance, that
one would imagine by his demeanour that hewas the in-
jured party, and not the two creditors who had opposed.
It was a gross case of fraud—gross as to the manner
in which Mr. Godwin had been defrauded, and also
in the preference given to his relations. For the
making away of property he would be remanded for
eighteen months, and for the fraud on Mr. Godwin
for a like period of eighteen months. The judgments
are concurrent from the vesting order made a month
hack.

CEFRISTIANIA, SEPT. 2l.—The Norwegian officers
of marine who took service in the Danish navy
during the war have received permission to go on
furlough to their own country.
The Danish Minister of War, in writing to the
Norwegian Commander of Marines, expresses the
highest satisfaction at their nasal prowess, as well as
at the personal character of those gentlemen.

lished in the Austrian Llaild's' says :
" On the 25th ult. there was brought here, from Vll-
lam, 15 insurgent generals, 2,100 superior officers, 208
officers of the staff, and 11,000 soldiers and sub-officers.
The merciful conduct of the council of war has been
much praised ; and, with the exception of Colonel
Plonay, executed on the 22d, no execution has taken
place. On the 29th there were burnt, in front of the
house of General Schlick, bank bills issued by Kossuth,
amounting, in nominal value, to 1,104,103 florins. The
retail trade here is very brisk at this moment. In and
around Arad there are no fewer than 100,000 Aus-
trians and Russians. They are continually bringing
in insurgent officers as prisoners from Transylvania.
Tho cholera, dysentery, and fevers are the order of the
day here.".

It has been officially announced in Vienna that
Austria has demanded from the Porte the extradition
of KOSSUTH and his companions.

VIENNA, SEPT. 16.2-Field-Marshal RADETSIT,
who has long been impatiently expected here, arrived
to-day at 12 o'clock. His progress from the railway
station to the Imperial Palace resembled that of a
triumphal entry. The Lloyd says a vast concourse
of persons awaited his arrival at the southern termi-
nus. It is utterly impossible to describe the hearty
enthusiasm with which he was welcomed. The noble
veteran's appearance produced a most powerful and
gratifying impression.

The Bin jELLACHICII, who had repaired to the
, terminus to welcome the hero, was received with
loud cheers. All the windows along the line of
procession were decorated with hangings, busts, &c.
Joyous acclamations greeted the veteran hero from
every heart of the assembled multitude, and hundreds
pressed around his carriage to catch a glimpse of his
countenance.

The Ban, who arrived here yesterday, alighted at
the Imperial Palace at Hetzendorf.
The state of the siege of Trieste was raised on
;he 11th.

The German Reforms says that the hostilities against
Comorn recommenced on the 4th.

AFFAIRS AT THE CAPE.

DISPATCH OF A MAN OF-WAR STEAMER.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—Telegraphic orders came
d,)wn to Portsmouth on Sunday evening for the
Hecate cteam•sloop to be prepared for sea with all
nosaible dispatch, and appointing Commander Hew-
lett, of the Excellent, to her. The Hecate was
brought down early this morning alongside the yard
jetty, and being mann-d with 120 ifficers and 'men
from the Excellent, with stokers from the Blen-
heim, she forth•sith was coaled, provi--ioned, and
wavered, and tonight will he ready for sea
service. Her destination is the Cape of Good

Hope, taking Government dispatches for Ge-
neral Sir Harry Smith, and we conclude it
is to rescind the order from the home Government
making the Cape a penal colony, and to further pro-
vide a destination for the convicts sent out in the
Neptune, which ship must have arrived at the Cape
before this; and we sincerely hope her arrival may
not have occasioned any ou'break nor any collision
between the Governor and the colonists. We have
heard of the Wand of Tristan de Cunha, which lies
about 1,000 miles W.S.W. from the Cape, as likely
to be made a penal Settlement. We understand it
.is
en inland capable of cultivation, and iron its isolated
position is well adspted for such a purpose, the only
difficulty being that the landing is
.always more or
less dangerous.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived.
There was a rumour of some impending changes in
the Ministry.
General NARVAEZ still continues indisposed at
Puertollano. He attributes his illness to poison,
which he says was administered to him in a cup of
chocolate.

The financial condition of Spain is most alarming,
a national bankruptcy is imminent. The deficit on the
current year will be 360,000,000 reels. Such are the
consequences of the protective system when fairly
carried out.

It is said the new tariff will come into operation,
nest month.

The Moors have renewed their attacks on Mellila,
and they are supported by a numerous and well-
served artillery.
It is said the Cortes will not meet until the 19th
of November.

FRANCE.

La Patrie observes that the intelligence communi-
cated in the Constitutionnel, of full satisfaction having
been given by the Emperor of Morocco on the de-
mand of the French Consul at Tangiers, was prema-
ture, though no doubt is entertained that such will be
the case. A letter from Toulon announces the
sailing of the expedition to Morocco from that port
OD the 11 th inst. The fleet consisted of ten ships of
the line—the Friedland, Jena, Hercule, and Inflex-
ible; the frigate Psyche ; the steam-frigates Moga-
dor, Cacique, Christopher, Colombe, and Descartes ;
and the steam corvettes Tartan and Dauphin, under
the command of Admiral Parceval Deschenes, who,
it was said, had received orders to act with energy
unless the satisfaction required was given.

CONINIER( lAI4 IN I'ELLIGENCE.

NEW Yonx.—Since the last steamer business has re-
vived to a great extent, and all thpariaients ate now
very active. The disappetrance of the cholera had
brought a large accession of visitors from all parts of the
country, and goods are going ell freely. The payments
trom the interior are prompt, and the trade of the sea•
son promises to be as large and safe as that of any pre-
vious one since 1836.
The money market remains abundantly supplied %kith
capital, and there is no chance in the rites on bills. Ott
good collaterals loans are made at 4 to 8 per cent., amid
even lower in si.me cases. Business pap• r sells at sto
7 per cent. for short time, anti 8 to 10 per cent. for long
time. The banks are full of specie. and are disc •unting
all the good paper offered. The amount of coin in tie
State Treasury at this point has accumulated to 3,200,000.
The exchange market has been inactive fur this ste.imer,
with a good supply of bills. First class sterling cloged
dull, at 9/ ; but good natm.s could be had at 84 94.

CHOLERA RELIEF.

The following letter has been written to the Bishop
of London by the Earl of Carlisle :
" Grosvenor-place, Sept. 14, 1849.
"My dear Lord Bishop,.—Some little time ago I
received an anonymous letter containing a bank note
for 1001., and directing me to apply it to her Majesty's
service. Under ordinary circumstances I should have
forwarded it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by
whom it would of course have been added to the
general stock in the coffers of the Treasury. As I
conceive, however, that a certain discretion was vested
in me, by its being forwarded to me and not to him,
I have thought myself at liberty, under the present
emergency, to ask you to apply it, in the event of no
special committee having been appointed for the pur-
pose, through the medium of some of your admirable
clergy, to the relief of families suffering from cholera,
or the losses occasioned by it, in the most afflicted
districts of your diocese. You will excuse my giving
publicity to this letter in order that the donor may be
informed how his generous gift has been used ; and in
order that I may not appear by this possible diversion
of it from its intended purpose, to be only making free
with the money of others, I shall venture to send the
same amount to the Bishop of Winchester for distri
bution on the south side of the river.
" I have the honour to be, my dear Lord,
" Your very faithful servant,
" CARLISLE.
" To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

0 D CO UR T.
Thomas Reynolds, Elizabeth Storey, and Mary
Glennill, were charged with conspiring together to
prefer a charge of assault against Mr. William
Storey, a tailor, residing in Fleet-street, without
foundation.

Mr. Parry, with Mr. Parnell, appeared for the
prosecution; Mr. Clarkson defended Reynolds, and
Storey and Giannill were defended by Mr. Huddle-
stone and Mr. Ballantine.
Mr. PARRY, in opening the case for the pro,eeution,
stated that Mr. Reynolds, having been formerly in the
,:mploy of Mr. Storey, had every opportunity of know-
ing the temper of Mrs. Storey, with whom he had con-
spired not only to bring forward a false charge but
also to entirely ruin him. The 25th of March was
the day on which the assault wag alleged to have been
committed, and Mr. Storey would, on his oath, tell the
jury that he had committed no such an offence. He
v‘a,uld call in every person who was in the house at the
time of the assault. It was said to have been committed
in the dining room, and he would produce a person who
was underneath the room at the time, and would!posi-
tively state that no such assault could have been
committed. As regarded the defendant Reynolds,
he would prove that Mrs. Storey was in the constant
halat of attending the shop of Mr. Reynolds, who
carried on business as a tailor, and also lived in
Fleet. treet ; when there she was always closeted
with Reynolds, and was also frequently seen to carry
large bundles with her from her husband's to the
shop of defendant. He would also prove that Rey-

FRANCE.

We read in the Presse We have again to
point out an extraordinary activity in almost all
the manufactories. Toe movement even appears
to extend to many branAes of industry which had
not before participated in it. Agents from the
departments are numerous in Paris, buying up
all the goods that are ready, ar.d giving orders
to such an extent that some have been refused from
want of hands to execute them. We have seen
several establishments for articles of luxury which
had guarded since the revolution only two or three
workmen, and which in the courPe of the last fortnight
have been obliged to engage fifteen or twenty new
ones."
London, England, 1849-09-18

CENTRAL GERMANY.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th contains the
following letter, dated Frankfort, Sept. 10:
" Austria will not further oppose the formation of any
confederations nut at variance with the German Confe-
deration. But, by virtue of the Allianceof 1815, Austria
demands that all the material general interests—such as
commerce, customs, posts, railways, &c., be under the
jurisdiction of the Central Provisional Power, and that
all restricted confederations, consequently that ow the
three Kings, be subject to the Provisional Power."
The Hamburgh Correspondent publishes a letter
of the 11th from Frankfort, which states :

" It is said that a note has been received from Aus
trig in which this power again delares very decidedly
against the validty of the Confederation of the three
Wage under the 11th Act of the Alliance of 1615, old
London, England, 1849-09-18

therefore, in union with Bavaria and Wirtembuig, de-
clines its concurrence.
"The Senate of the free city of Frankfort has received
an official notice from Berlin that the Diet to be called
by Prussia, by virtue of the federation of the three Kings,
will be held at Frankfort.
" This is probably the first fruits of the negotiatiers
of Dr. }Limier Olderman, of Frankfort.
"The report that Prince Wittgenstein had requested
and obtained his dismission from the Reichsverweser as
Ministerial President of the empire and Minister of War
appears to be wholly without foundation."
The Cologne Gazette publishes intelligence from
Frankfort to the 14th, from which it appears that the
assent of the Vienna Cabinet has been received at
Berlin. Austria and Prussia are each to appoint two
Deputies, Austria to have the pre-eminence.
If these two commissioners should not be unani-
mous the question shall be decided by their respective
Cabinets; and if these also are not agreed, it shall be
decided by the remainder of the German empire,
according to a fixed rotation. The Provisional
Central Government, with the concurrence of the
Reichsverweser and the German Governments (Ba-
varia and Hanover having also given in their assent
to the proposal), will be appointed pro km. to the Ist
of May, 1850.
Such are the main points of the proposal, to which
it now rests with Prussia to give her assent.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Danes have, it appears, demolished the foi tifi-
cations at Duppel. The following is the official
account published by the Schleswig-Holstein autho-
rity :
" GRAVENSTEIN, SEPT. 10.—The epaulrnents and
batteries of Liippel, which the German troops estab-
lished after many months labour and defended with
their blood (it was here that the Saxons lost two field-
pieces by a sortie), the entrenchments for which Schles-
wig-Holstein willingly made large pecuniary sacrifices,
no more exist. When the federal troops were withdrawn,
T undertook the guard of the works, in conjunction with
the police-master;;Muderspach, and the statholderate
placed 44 gendarmes at our disposal. New blockhouses,
palisades, platforms, ovens for heating red-hot balls— all,
all have been destroyed, all have become the prey of the
flames. I have just returned from the spot, and saw
with my own eyes how sailors, with Danish cockades,
from Sonderberg, loaded the remnants of our batteries
and entrenchments on waggons and wheelbarrows, and
carried them off to Sonderberg. These are the facts—l
leave the reader to think of the motives, and to posterity
to bequeath the judgment.

AFFAIRS AT THE CAPE.

DISPATCH OF A MAN-OF-WAR STEAMER.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—Telegraphic orders came
down to Portsmouth on Sunday evening for the
Hecate steam-sloop to be prepared for sea with all
possible dispatch, and appointing Commander Hew-
lett, of the Excellent, to her. The Hecate was
brought down early this morning alongside the yard
jetty, and being manned with 120 officers and men
from the Excellent, with stokers from the Blen-
heim, she forthwith was coaled, provisioned, and
watered, and to-night will be ready for sea
service. Her destination is the Cape of Good
Hope, taking Government dispatches for Ge-

is to rescind the order from the home Government
making the Cape a penal colony, and to further pro-
vide a destination for the convicts sent out in the

not have occasioned any outbreak nor any collision
between the Governor and the colonists. We have
heard of the island of Tristan de Cunha, which lies
about 1,000 miles W.S.W. from the Cape, as likely
to be made a penal settlement. IVe understand it is
an island capable of cultivation, and fro:n its isolated
position is well adapted for such a purpose, the only
difficulty being that the landing is
‘always more or

according to a fixed rotation. The Provisional
Central Government, with the concurrence of the
Reichsverweser and the German Governments (Ba-
varia and Hanover having also given in their assent
to the proposal), will be appointed pro tem. to the Ist
of May, 1850.
Such are the main points of the proposal, to which
it now rests with Prussia to give her assent.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Danes have, it appears, demolished the fol tifi-
cations at Duppel. The following is the official
account published by the Schleswig-Holstein autho-
rity :
" GRAVENSTEIN, SEPT. 10.—The epaulments and
batteries of I)iippel, which the 'German troops estab-
lished after many months labour and defended with
their blood (it was here that the Saxons lost two field-
pieces by a sortie), the entrenchments for which Schles-
wig..lloieein willingly made large pecuniary sacrifices,
no more exist. When the federal troops were withdrawn,
I undertook the guard of the works, in conjunction with
the police-mas.terMuderspach, and the statholderate
placed 44 gendarmes at our disposal. New blockhouses,
palisades, platforms, ovens for heating red-hot balls—all,
all have been destroyed, all have become the prey of the
flames. I have just returned from the spot, and saw
with my own eyes how sailors, with Danish cockades,
from Sonderberg, loaded the remnants of our batteries
and entrenchments on waggons and wheelbarrows, and
carried them off to Sonderberg. These are the facts—l
leave the reader to think of the motives, and to posterity
to bequeath the judgment.

AVSfttIA

Letters from Bucharest of the 31st state positively
that Bem has taken refuge in the Turkish terri:ory,
and has been conveyed to Widin with the other
Magyar chiefs. In the same place are to be found,
Count Yasnoiski, a Pole, well known in England
and France, and MM. Guyon, Herries, and
Pagel ; a great number of Poles, and Italians
lave also found an asylum in the capital
of the Government of Ibrahim Pasha. Austria and
Russia claim these fugitives, and at this moment it is
not known what bas been the answer of the Porte;
but Sir Stratford Canning has strongly advised the
Porte not to yield to such a claim, a concession to
which would bring dishonour on its name.
A letter from Constantinople, of the 26th ult.,
addressed to the Independance of Brussels, states,
that in virtue of treaties, the Ottoman Porte is
bound to give up the chiefs of the Hungarian
insurrection on the demand of Russia, but
that she could decline to do so on the demand
of Austria especially, as the latter power refused,
some years ego, to surrender some prisoners who took
part in en insurrection in Bosnia. The letter adds
that the Porte was determined, if possible, to avoid
giving up the refugees.
The Minister of Finance in Austria has ordered
that, from the 18th, the interdiction on the exporta-
tion of specie, which has existed for 18 months, shall
cease.

CHOLERA RELIEF.

The following letter has been written to the Bishop
of London by the Earl of Carlisle :

" Grosvenor-place, Sept. 14, 1849.
"My dear Lord Bishop,—Some little time ego I
received an anonymous letter containing a bank note
for 1001., and directing me to apply it to her Majesty's
service. Under ordinary circumstances I should have
forwarded it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by
whom it would of course have been added to the
general stock in the coffers of the Treasury. As I
conceive, however, that a certain discretion was vested
in me, by its being forwarded to me and not to him,
I have thought myself at liberty, under the present
emergency, to ask you to apply it, in the event of no
special committee having been appointed for the pur-
pose, through the medium of some of your admirable
clergy, to the relief of families suffering from cholera,
or the losses occasioned by it, in the most afflicted
districts of your diocese. You will excuse my giving
publicity to this letter in order that the donor may be
informed how his generous gift has been used; and in
order that I may not appear by this possible diversion
of it from its intended purpose, to be only making free
with the money of others, I shall venture to send the
same amount to the Bishop of Winchester for distri
bution on the south side of the river.
" I have the honour to be, my dear Lord,
" Your very faithful servant,
" CARLISLE.
"To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London."

FRANCE

La Patrie observes that the intelligence communi-
cated in the Constitutionnel, of full satisfaction having
been given by the Emperor of Morocco on the de-
mand of the French Consul at Tangiers, was prema-
ture, though no doubt is entertained that such will be
the case. A letter from Toulon announces the
sailing of the expedition to Morocco from that port
on the 11th inst. The fleet consisted of ten ships of
the line—the Friedland, Jena, Hercule, and Inflex-
ible; the frigate Psyche ; the steam-frigates Moga-
dor, Cacique, Christopher, Colombe, and Descartes ;
and the steam-corvettes Tartan and Dauphin, under
the command of Admiral Parceval Desehenes, who,
it was said, had received orders to act with energy
unless the satisfaction requirad was given.
The following is a return of the situation of the Bank
of France up to Sept. 13:—

therefore, in union with Bavaria and Wirtenaburg, de-
clines its concurrence. _

" The Senate of the free city of Frankfort has receiv ed
an official notice from Berlin that the Diet to be called
by Prussia, by virtue of the federation of the three Kings,
dill be held at Frankfurt. _

" This is probably the first fruits of the negotiations
of Dr. Harnier Olderman, of Frankfort.

" The report that Prince Wittgenstein had requested
and obtained bis dismission from the Reichsverweser as
Ministerial President of the empire and Minister of War
appears to be wholly without foundation."
The Cologne Gazette publishes intelligence from
Frankfort to the 14th, from which it appears that the
assent of the Vienna Cabinet has been received at
Berlin. Austria and Prussia are each to appoint two
Deputies, Austria to have the pre-eminence.
If these two commissioners should not be unani-
mous the question shall be decided by their respective
Cabinets; and if these also are not agreed, it shall be
decided by the remainder of the German empire,
according to a fixed rotation. The Provisional
Central Government, with the concurrence of the
Reichsverweser and the German Governments (Ba-
varia and Hanover having also given in their assent
to the proposal), will be appointed pro tem. to the Ist
of May, 1850.
Such are the main points of the proposal, to which
it now rests with Prussia to give her assent.

AFFAIRS AT THE CAPE.

DISPATCH OF A MAN-OF-WAR STEAMER.

PORTSMOUTH", ItioND/tr.—Telegraphic orders came
down to Portsmouth on Sunday evening fur the
Hecate steam-sloop to be prepared for sea with all
possible dispatch, and appointing Commander Hew-
lett, of the Excellent, to her. The Hecate was
brought down early this morning alongside the yard
jetty, and being manned with 120 officers and men
from the Excellent, with stokers from the Blen-
heim, she forthwith was coaled, provisioned, and
watered, anti to-night will be ready for sea
service. Her destination is the Cape of Good
Hope, taking Government dispatches for Ge-
neral Sir Harry Smith, and we conclude it
is to rescind the order from the home Government
making the Cape a penal colony, and to further pro-
vide a destination for the convicts sent out in the
Neptune, which ship must have arrived at the Cape
before this ; and we sincerely hope her arrival may
not have occasioned any outbreak nor any collision
between the Governor and the colonists. 'We have
heard of the island of Tristan de Cunha, which lies
about 1,000 miles W.S.W. from the Cape, as likely
to be made a penal settlement. We understand it is
an island capable of cultivation, and from its isolated
position is well adapted for such a purpose, the only
difficulty being that the landing is always more or
less dangerous.

RAY MARKET THEATRE.

The tragedy of The Stranger was performed here
last evening, with the same cast as at Windsor
Castle on Friday. The Stranger of Mr. Charles
Kean is a most artistic performance, so full of pathos
and feeling, so beautifully eliminating all the good,
and so artfully throwing into the shade all the dis-
gusting points of this most unnatural character, that
we almost feel inclined to sympathise with the
Stranger, and not to treat him with the contempt
with which we have hitherto been inclined to regard
him. Certainly, if any excuse could be afforded for
his maudlin sentimentality, it would be the Mrs.
Haller of Mrs. Charles Kean, which is so full of
tenderness, beauty, and goodness, that it is almost
impossible to believe in her guilt. Those who admire
the German school of sentiment will be delighted
with The Stranger as it is at present performed at the
Haymarket. .N ever before has this play been so
effectively cast, but for ourselves, we are free to con
fess, that with us The Stranger has never been a
favourite. The farce of Twice Killed followed, so
that the performance of last night at the Haymarket
was the fac-simile of the performance on Thursday at
Windsor Castle. The house was crowded.

L. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
,21ase of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
+,;tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
omprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
Cement. Honour and justice demand that health should form aa item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
.neglect wound more sorely than poverty er misfortune. Reader, if
.hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
NIEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by cost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ay misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
!or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
ttey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the ago. Furthermore, two other
!We publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) ealled " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pmphlets, bat equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
'tie, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
m the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
