A New Cure for an Cid Complaint

| The Courier des Flats Unis tells great ma
ny spicy stories of Partisan life, in most inter-
| tanning and attractive manner. The following
is very free translation of one of its best anec-
dotes:
parsonage of more than ordinary distnc-
ton and wealth, and a noted politician, has re-
centlyreturned to the French capital to reside,
after some years absence. He was formerly
known there as an eccentric character, and his
! temper was none OF the mlldest.
lie came into possession of his fortune at rath-
eT late period of his life, and having met with
some sharp adversities in his early years, he be-
came naturally ayaricious and close listed in
pecuniary notions.
He married beautiful wife and his irritable

dy he had sworn to Glove cherish and protect"
| This was a most unfortunate circumstance,
and was the occasion of deep suffering to a
woman well born, thoroughly educated, and ac-
customed to the refinement of good breeding.
The honeymoon had scarcely began to wane,
ere she experienced the effects of his petulancy
and i'll hunor. The WIFE was fond and forgiving
but it required all her tact, and goodly display
of rare patience. to aid her submission TO the ty-
ranny to which she SO suddenly and uneXpect4
eGIy found herself subjected.
The temper OF her liege lord was so violent
that be proved himself no 'rcspector of persons
and on one occasion, after sharp family quar-
re! in the presence of several Witnesses he re-
paired 10 his own private apartment, followed,
BY friend, Ca reaI friend who did not hesitate to-
show up his error and soundly berate him for his
inconsiderae and abusive conduct.
His friend took no heed OF his continued ragc,
but spoke plainly to him-as his friend had a
right to do. The guilty husband listened, at
last, and replied:
"rhe reproof you administer is Just am

Then advancing to lis escrutoirc, he opened
small drawer, took forth a one thousand franc
note, set fire to the corner of it, and cody light

His friend, seeing the note about to be destroy~
ed, rushing his side but he put forth his hand
and waved him back
"Stand aside," he said nervously.
"Iou are crazy
"No! am sane-pcrfcctly. know what

When the thousand franc note was entirety

And this oath was reIgiously Observed
WhencVer-for few days afterwards, only-ho
committed the error described, he walked to his
secretary, drew forth his money! burned it up.
and reflected over ITS ashes. But that his fort

this would have ruined him, pccuniarily.
But he soon came to his senses. After plac-
ing some fifteen thousand francs in the flames,
