THE SLANDERER OF WOMAN.
The form, bearing the laintest resemblance to

shape of proof, is almost too mean an image of
what a man should be, to merit notice. The
horse whip would Ioahe to come in contact with
such hide, aud begrudg e the notorety which 1t
gave TO the smoking, reekIng and staggering
coward who should bear the "blushng honors
thick upon him" of having, in a mean and bastard
spirit, of which the internal regions might be
ashamed, breathed out the vile suspicious and en-
genderings of his vlalnous heart upon the repu-

virtue should be--at least panoply OF defence, if
they were not the el, ments OF esteem, admiration
and love. Woman is the treasure and the jcwet

Out upon the wretch who shall presume upon

wantonness that should send thrill of ndigna-

the American community, dare TO lmpugn the
characters of those whom he knows not, and to
whose acquaintance he Is not worthy to aspire!

The apparatus for this detection is bar, gov
etned by spring at each end, and lifted by a
set OF tumblers at the other, governed by the key.
| Ifeither of these tumblers be oyerlilted in the
slightest degree, the detector is Cyered also,
catches in the bolt and prevents it from being
thrown back; and thus the door is made perfectly
fast. Nothing but the proper key, which is very
complicated in words, and fitting with the incest
accuracy, will restore the detector to its proper
place, and enable the door to be unlocked.
Do you know what charity is forgive if you

For a Fit of Ambon--Go into the church

For Fit Of Repning--Look out for the halt

There is no better antidote for hard times and
disappointment in business than u cheerful face
and hearty welcome at home as without them
all the wealth of Peru cannot confer happiness SO
with them the deepest poverty cannot take 1t away.
A man may be iretted and worried, crossed IN
business nay ruined if you please and single
glance Of kindness from the woman that he loves
and the children that he dotes on will drive away
care and make him as happy at heart, as i mill
ions were at his commando and worldly friends
as plenty as blackberles.
