While our male moralists hold woman to such. strict chastity, and cast her off unless she be sbove suspicion, why. do not our female moralists exact the same fealty to virtue from man ? It is not necessary for him to be above suspicion, not by a considerable. There is no prospect of man's re laxing his views.s to woman, and we see no other 'mode of self-de fence for woman than to act on the principle of sauce for the goose shall be sauce also for the gander. Under the present social regime the women are all the time cherishing the serpents that sting them to death. "Alas! when evil men are strong, No life is good, no pleasure long." "Elder, will you have a drink of cider ?" inquired a farmer of an old temperance man who was spending an evening at his house. "Ah-hum-no, thank ye," said the old rman, never touch liquor of any kind-'specially cider; but if you'll call it apple-juice, I'll take a drop." ----e--+ A man died last week in Shrews bury, Mass., who had become so advanced in his second childhood, that for some months he had per sisted in carrying to bed with him each night a rag doll which be longed to one of his grand-chil Food for Animals.

Mr. Bourne, of her Majesty's customs, has patented a very sim ple contrivance, which effectually preserves the original character of any liquid to which it is applied. It is a contrivance for the entire exclusion of the atmosphere, the injurious action of which upon sensitive drinks as wines is well known to every one. Mr. Bourne's. invention is a diaphragm, or a thin membrane, made of a material or compotition very like india rub ber. It is fixed inside the vessel be it cask, or earthenware or glass reservoir-and is so loose that when the vessel is full it lines the upper half. As the liquid is drawn off, this thin covering descends on the surface, and follows it closely to the last drop, effectually ex cluding the slightest trace of air. A Frenchman who has been in India, speaking of tiger hunts', pleasantly remarks; "When zo Frenchman hunts ze tiger abh! ze sport is grand, magnifique! but when ze tiger hunts ze French man, zere is the very devil to A New Southern Staple.

A few days ago, anman was brought into the hospital of that place in a dread ful state of mutilation. It appear ed that he had locked himself up in his room, ripped himself open with a knife,-an dtore out his in testines, eutting them- into frag ments and throwing them about' the room. He then opened the door and called in his wife, whose horror may be easily conceived. He lived until the following day. An Austrian chemist, M. Lein elbrock, has discovered a way of enclosing electricity in small glass capsules, which will explode under the influence of the slightest shock. The capsule is inclosed in a steel cone, so that if shot from a rifle it will enter the flesh, and the explosion which follows is suffi cient to kill a man, Experiments have been made on oxen and horses with perfect success, these animals hating fallen down as if struck with lightning.

A Baby's. Bo5aphy~ An editor thus does uy the .bi egraphy- 'of a recent aecessi(,a to his liousehold : We have hacf so many . kind' friends asking about- the. baby, that we thought it npeeseary- to~ biograph the chap briefly, anti somewhat after the current style of the-day : 'it's a boy." -He's a buster. Weighs nine pouns and a quar ter, and old women tell us that he will grow heavier as his weight increases. He's the first boy of which we have been proprietor, and of course is the only baby in town. The old woman--hefore mention ed declares him the very image of his pa : 'A faithful copy of his faithful sire. In face and gesture.' But in justice to the youth, we must say we think him an im provement on the original--a world of progress, you know. This young American is as old as could be expected, censidering the time he was born, and will doubtless be too old for his father in a few years, if he has good luck. He is quite reticent on politics, and only wants to be let alone. He thinks he favors Mrs. Wins low's policy. We hav'nt DaTned him yet ; we want to give him a distinguished cognomen, but the fame of our great men is at present so preca rious that we don't like the riak It is perhaps unnecessary to say, as all biogrophers do of dis tinguished personages, that the subject of this sketok was born at an early age, of 'poor but r-espec t.able parents.'
