The other day she returned, lifted eleven
children out of the wagon, and entered
the house and took off her things as
coolly as if she had not been gone over

THERE Is curious prescription in
England for the cure of drunkenness, by
which thousands are said to have been
assisted in recovering themselves. The
recipe came into notoriety through the
efforts of John Vine Hall, father of the
Rev. Newman Hall and Capt. Vine Hail.
commander of the Great Eastern steam
ship He had fallen into such habitual
drunkenness that his utmost efforts to
regain himself proved unayailing. At
length he sought the advice of an emf
nent physician, who gave him prescrip-
ton which he followed faithfully for
several months, and at the end OF that
time he had lost all desire tor liquors,
although he had for many years been led
captive by most debasing appetite. The
recipe, which he afterward published,
and by which so many have been as
sisted to reform, is as follows Sui

grains; peppermint water, IL grains;
spirits of nutmeg, drachm; TO be tax.

as a tonic and stimulant, and so partly

MANS WRONGS.

The New York Tribune gives this
as one of the current bits of gossip in
that city: "An American gentleman
of large wealth, and resident of this
city, recently, retired from business,
and after turning over to his wife his
estate yalued at $250,000, sailed for
Europe on a pleasure trip. Dafing
his absence his wife died, and under
the laws of the State of New York,
there being no child as heir, the en-
tire property goes to her father. The
latter named person failed in business
some time since with debts amount
ing to $270,00O, and this vast property
now goes to the liquidation of the
father-in-law's debts," The mistake
in this case was that the wife had not
made will after the property had
been put in her name giving it the de-
sired direction in case of her death.
