Cure For Love,

Take twelve ounces of dislike, one
pound of resolution, two grains OF
common sense, two ounces of eXper-
fence, a large sprig Of time, and also
take three quarts of cooling water of
consideration. Set them over the
gentle fire of love, sweeten with the
sugar of forgetfulness, skim with the
spoon of melancholy; put in the bot
tie of the heart, and stop with the
cork of a clear conscience. Let it re-
main, and you will quickly find ease
and be restored to your senses.
These things can be had of the apoth-
ecary at the house OF Understanding,
next door to Reason, on the street
Prudent, in the village Contentment.

Miss Meade was twenty five years old, and
was well connected. No reason can be
given for her foolish act. She was generally
considered merry, lIght-hearted girl, but
had occasional spells of melancholy. Her
home was pleasant, and she was sur:
rounded with every comfort. She moved
in good society and was much admired. A
