KlBBl2lo.—llost people admit that kissing is nice, but
many would decline to follow the Ito'. W. Whitman
Walker (of Fast 11;ongessationall Church, Connecticut)
when he lays it down as an axiom that "kissing hi an
high and an holy thing." These was a Scotch divine
who gave thanks before and slur ;but this looks rather
as if, with the national shyness of love.matters, he
supposed the act nquired oonsiccratiol, than as if lie
deemed it to have in itself aught of a saeramental
character. Yet if—as nearly every nation under the
cope of heaven has hold—tic mere eating of a man's salt
be sacramental. it seeing somewhat arbitrary, not to say
mean, to deny the same adjective to the kiesing of a
woman's lips. Indic I, there sic portions of tbeextreme

AmToUNDING ATROCITIES OF • FRISCH HUSBAND.
—A cruel case of who poisoning kru been tried at the
Court of Anise of the Seine. The accused, named
ltingard, a telegraphic clerk at Boulonge, neAr
Paris, was married in 113.54 to his cousin, Marie
Jaunet, who hu Ai= borne him seven children.
Ile, however, very soon csmtnenoed • course of
neglect and ill-treatment, and as early as 1856 pur-
sued with his auiduities his sister.in.law, at the same
time expressing to her the satisfaction he should feel
at tiro death of his wife. The prisoner had the
reputation of being • bad husband and • bad father;
five of his children have died, and the deceased of tl.o
last of these is attributed to want of proper treatment.
The wife bore for a long time with patience tbo
ill•ussge and infidelity of her husband, but in ltlfro;
she was forced to fly for refuge to her parents,
and was about to take steps to procure • judicial
separation when her husband induced her to return
to her home. Ilia conduct, did not, however,
prove ; he formed a connexion with • niece, • young
woman of light character. lie frequently threatened to
poison his wife, and once before endeavoured to carry
oat his threat. The wife was in such constant fear
that she had secretly written a letter in pencil to her
sister, to ask the latter to take charge of her children
should she die unfairly. On the 23rd of May last
Madame 'Bogard and her son, aged five, were suddenly •
seised with violent pains In the stomach. accompanied
by every symptom of poisoning. The child was shortly
relieved by vomiting, and ultimately recovered, but
the mother gradually becalm worse, and expired
the same afternoon. The husband manifested
the utmost indifference, and did not even go bs
see her when told that she was dying. A post-
mortem analysis of the conic tits of the stomach &owe i
the presence of • oonsiderable quantity of cyanide of
potas.ium, a toxical substance used in photography,
which art Ringard practiced in his leisure hours. Ths
LAME poison was also found in some liquorice water which
the mother was accustomed to drink, and of which also
had partaken, with the child, that morning. Oa ono
occasion Itingard had said to his own son, "We will
pubon mother and put her in a hole, and then send for
for another mamma who will be better than elm'.
The evidence, however, showed that she MU a
woman of kind and gvotle disposition, and by her
needlework aided considerably in supporting Ms°
expenses of the household. The defence made was
the woman. being unhappy with her husband. hed
eommitted suicide, but thia hypothesis was not
admitted by the jury, who gave a verdict of guilty,
but with extenuating circumstances. The prisoner
was sentenced to hard labour for life.—Oceigictni.
BREAKFAST :_A SECCIFSEFUL EXPERIMENT.—The Cieff

On:ette has the following :—" Thete are very few
simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable
and important dietary properties as WOOS. While acting
on the nerves ass gentle stimulant, it provides the body
with tot= of the purest elements of nutrition, and at
the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the
digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend in a
great measure upon the manner of its preparation,
but of lste years such close attention has been given to
the growth and treatment of cocoa that there is no
difficulty in securing it with every useful quality fully
developed. The singular success which Mr. F.pps
attained by his lionscoopathie preparation of cocoa has
never been surpassed by any experimentalist For and
wide the reputation of Epps's cocoa has spread by the
simple force of its own extraordinary merits. Medical
men of all shades of opinion have agreed In recommending
Is es the safest and most beneficial article of diet for
pm-eons of weak constitutions. This superiority of a
particular mode of preparation over all others is a
remarkable proof of the great results to be obtained
from little causes. By • thorough knowledge of the
natural laws which govern the operations of digestion
and nutrition, and by • careful application of the fine
properties of wollaelected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided
our breakfast tables with • delicately flavoured
beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills.
It is by Mut judicious use of such articles of diet that
a constitution may be gradually built up until strong
enough to resist every tendency to diseue. Hundreds
of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to
attack wherever there is a weak point. We may
escape many • fatal shaft by keeping overselvas
well fat-tilled with • pare blood and • properly
nourished frame.
BICAUTT AND BILAINS.—TheI lovely woman fulfils
only half her omission when she is unpersonable instead
of beautiful, all young met, and all pretty girls secure
in the consciousness of their own perfections, will agree.
Indeed it is cruel to hear the way in which beady youth
despises ugly !iris or fading women, however clever,
whose charm basin their cleverness only, with • counter-
action in their plainneas. To hear them, one would
think that hardness of feature, like poverty, was • crime
voluntarily perpetrated, acel that contempt was •
righteous retribution for the offence. Yet their pre-
ference, though so cruelly ezprtued, is to • certain
extent the right thing. When we ere young, the beauty
of women has a supreme attraction beyond all othe r
possessions or qualities, and there are self -evident reason •
why it should be so. It ia only as we grow older that
we know the value of brains, and, while still admiring
beauty—as isdeed who does not—admire it ss one
passing by on the other aid.; as • grace to look at, but
not to bold, unless acoompenied by something more
lasting. This is in the middle term of a man's life. old
age, perhaps with the unconscious yearning of •regret,
goes back to the love of youth and beauty for their own
sake; extremes meeting bare as in almost all other Mr-
ounutiumes. Men do not care for brains le excess in
women. They like a sympathetic intellect which can
follow them, and wise their thoughts as quickly as they
are uttered, but they do not mach care for any clear or
special knowledge of facts; and even the most philo-
sophic among them would rather not be wit right in
classical quotation, an astronomical calculation, or the
exact bearing of a political question by • lovely being in
tarlatans whom he was graciotudy unbending to in-
struct. Neither do they want anything very strong-
minded. To most men, indeed, the feminine strobe.
mindedness that can discuss immoral problems without
blushing, and despise religions observances as useful onl ;
to week souls, is equality as unwomanly es a well
developed biceps or a huge fist would ha. It is sympathy
not antagonism, it is companionship, not rivalry, still
less supremacy, that they like in women; and tom o
women with brains as well as learning—for the two are
not the same thing—understand this, and keep their
blue stockings well covered by their petticoats. Others,
enthusiasts for the freedom of thought and intellectual
rights, show theirs defiantly, and meet with their reward.
Men shrink from them. The pretty fool who spends
half her time in trying on new dresses and studying
the effect of colours, and who knows nothing beyond
the last new novel and the latest plate of fashions, i s
not a more disastrous wife than the woman of prefound
learning whose education has taught her nothing
practical. They stead at the oppoaite ends of the samo
stick, and neither end gives the true position of women.
Indeed, if one must have a fool in one's house, tho
pretty one would be (ho best, as, at the least, pleasant
to look at which Is something gained. The intellectual
fool, with leer head always in books and "questions"
and her children dropping off like sheep for the want of
womanly care, is something more than flesh and blood
can tolerate. The pretty fool cannot help herself. If
nature was but a stepmother to her, and left out the
best part of her wits while taking sash especial care of
her face, it is no fault of hers; but the ietsilleetuel foal
is a sue of maladministration of powers, for which she
alone is responsible; and in this particular alternative
between beauty and brains we would go in for beauty
without a shadow of doubt. —Tie Saturday Beseue.
