where Mr.. Dis-a"li predicted tns, the war

TIE GRAVE OF ST.. PATRICK.

Mr.. Berry Fennel, writing in Land and

city itself, nor the fire substantial cathedral
on the hill that eyokes this feeling They arc

rointment, something like indignant surprise,
takes possession of one being led up to what
is said to DC held sacred, as the grave Of St
Patrick, and which a. euch is visited, am
told, by multituIes of American strangers cv
cry year. 1t lies in the highest and NEST cen>
trail position in the otherwise decently kept
churchyard surrounding Downpatrick Cathe

place that appears given up to complete neg.

,grayestones, ancient and modern, all we'll or>

while the ore which strangers would have
expected to find most honorel and reyered is
the only dishOnored grave among them all.

A FALLEN M4N-There Is something very
sad about witnessing the downfall of a man.
brought about by the indulgence in crime,
who had previously sustained good charac-
ter in the community. We have prominent
example of such misfortune in the case of
Phelps. the defaulting clerk in the New York
Sts:e Treasury Department. After fair
trial. in which the sympathies of the Court
and jury were supposed to be in his favor, he
was convicted and sentenced to term of fif
teen years Imprisonment. In society lie held
high position, surrounded by relations and
friends, whose companionship was source
of pride. and calculated to make life pleasant
and desirable. Forgetting the claims OF these
and the higher considerations Of morality ne
yielded to the temptation of becoming dis,
honest, thus involving himself in trouble and
bringing reproach Upon those to whom he
was most endeared. Such instances should
serve as warning to the young men of the
land, who in being bonored with the high
public or private trust, ought to feel that
they have reputation at stake, which no
hope OF. gain will induce them to su'ly or for
felt. When this lesson is taught in the home.

Lombard street and inquired for work Of the
superintendent. The later questioned him,
asking him his name and where he was from,
and other particulars about his family. He
told tie superintendent that his mother re
sided in England aad had reared him, his
father having quarrelled with her whea he
was all infant and had abandoned them, and
it was supposed that he had come to America,
but no tidings had been received from him.

AN INGEN1oUa CoNyICr-The Baltimore
Sun says In Jail here is the ingenious
Frenclman, Laurens. who will be remember
ell from hrs successful escape in August.
1870, when he made dummy of straw and
old clothes to represent himself; made mask
to represent his face, made hand out of
wood, stood the dummy at the grating to de-
liver the brass checks when the keeper came
around; while the convict escaped and got of
clear of Baltimore for some days, when he
was re>caplured, and sentenced to three
months longer. His original term vas five
years for horse stealing. and five lhofths OF
this term remain. 1t is expected the extra
sentence will be committed, since his ingenu>
'ity has been very usetully employed of late
and he has proved valuable workman. He
has invented ''guide for shoe-sewing." and
an improvement on the invention. BY this
invention the heel seam of shoes can be sown
on machines, alloA ing for the curve of the
hesl. The invention has been patented by
the inventor. Its value has been recognized
by an offer to buy the right for 5000 from

THERE is acurious prescription in England
for the cure of drukenness, by which thous>
ands are said to have been assisted in recov-
ering themselves The recipe came into
notoriety through the efforts of John Vine
Hall, father of the Rev. Newman and Capt.
Vine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into such habitual
drunkenness that his utmost efforts to regain
himself proved unavailing. At length he
sought the advice of an eminent physician,
who gave him prescription which he follow.
ed faithfully for several months, and at the
end of that time he had lost all desire for
liquors, although he had for many years been
led captive by . most debating tppetite The
recipe, which he afterwards published, and
by which SO many have been assisted to re.
form. is as follows: "Sulphate of IRON, 8
grains; masnesia, 10 grains; peppermint
water, II grains: spirit of nutmeg, drachm;
to be taken twice day." This prep ,ration
acts as . tonic and stimulant, aud SO partly
supplies the place of the accustomed liquor,
and prevents that absolute physical and moral
prostrstion tha, follows sudden breaking of
from the use of stimulating drinks

second change had been made a man called
on the matchmaker and spoke OF employing
him to regulate the town clock; but the watch
maker told him he thought no regulation was
necessary. as he noticed that the clock was
running exactly with his time, and drawing
forth his watch, he compared it with the
clio l.. and, sure enoug gh, they were exactly
together. Next morning the town clock and
the watches of the place were further apart
than usual, and the gentleman who had called
at the shop the day before now again pre-
scntel himself, accompanied by several
friends. To their great surprise they found
the wa1chma aker's regulator and watch still
exactly with the CLOCK. aud that settled the
question. They all left their watches to be
cleaned, rem .rkiny that they would rather
have no watches at all than watches thar did
