A CASE OF CAUDLEPHoBA CURED. Il mere
were, not long since, two youths, male
and female, who were so afieclionateIy
attached, that it appeared to them that
they could not be happy without each
other, and consequently they soon very
honestly became man and wife. During
the first two days all was peace and love
But it is always the case with both men
and women, that during courtship they
keep concealed many little traits and
qualities which aller marriage soon dis
cover themselves, and the defects of the
parties are both mutually known. The
| husband soon learned that his wife, with
all her beauty, possessed also an evil aud
scorching tongue which the slightest
cause would put into motion. She low
ed her husband with all her soul, and
this he was sensible; but he was Of IA
choleric disposition, and sometimes re,
piled to his wife's upbraidings in man,
ner which he afterwards was very sorry
for. To free himself from The annoy.

the habit of ahSenilng himself from home
and while wandering hiiher and thuheI
IN company with friends, he became nd

Iily Of various wines, with swollen eyes
and stammerIng tongue, one may well
| imagine the reception she gave him. As
soon as she heard the key turn in the
door, she would station herself at the. :op
of the stairs and overwhelm him win a
torrent OF abuses. He, half stunned with
the clamor, and supplied with the wine
in his head, after some efforts at reloriing
in her own style, would sneak off to bed.
Finally the evil increased TO such dc
gree that they saw each other but little,
for The drunken husband did not even
come home all the night, but slept al the
tavern. The wife, in despair, went to ga
gifted lady," and asked advice Of her.
From this dealer in forbidden knowledge
she obtained a vial of very Iimped water,
which she said had been brought .from
beyond The seas by pilgrim OF the great
est virtue and holiness, with the instruc

she must Immediately fill her mouth with
liz, taking great care neither 10 swallow
nor spit it out, but keep her mouth closed.
The lady thanked her cordially and then
ihasiened home 10 await the arrival o!
her husband, and make trial Of the vr-
tues Of the water.
AT length the husband with fear and,
I dread enters the house, and is astonished
10 find his wife, whose mouth was luIl of
The charmed water, perfectly quiet. He
addresses few words to her, but she says
nothing. The husband became pleasant,
she SAYS to herself behold the effects of
the charmed wafer, and is delighted. The
husband asks her what has happened,
and she acts courteous, looks pleasant,
but makes no reply. Peace is soon made
between Them. The water lasted many
days, during which time they lived as
harmonously as doves. The husband
went no more abroad, but found happi
ness at home.--But at last the water OF
the vial exhausted, and soon again behold
them in the field Of domestic strife. The
wi again repaired TO The gifted lady,
but this one said, "Alas! the vase in which

to be done?" asked the other. "flold."

If you had the water in it, and your sue

good, and even without water, il is
thought the same end may be obtained
