Interesting Calculation.-The following, from
the Charleston Observer, is commended to the
reader who chews tobacco
Allow that young man, who is confirmed
tobacco-chewer, may live twenty-five years
In each day there will issue from his mouth
halfa pint of fluid too nauseously disgusting to
describe In twenty-five years this will amount
to five hundred and fifty gallons, or more than
four hogsheads of this detestabe mass. In the
same time, allowing him only two ounces day,
he will roll as sweet morsel under his tongue
half ton Of the hateful weed, which will sick
en- dog OF kill horse, forming heap OF the
size of a hay-stack. Then his rejected guilds
would form a still larger pile. Now if such
young man could see ten half hogsheads full g, OF
abominable fifth, destined to pass through ms
mouth-a wagon load of tobacco, and ten
wheelbarrows heaped up with guilds, designed
for an equally intimate association with his
lips how would the prospect affect him! Ana
if the delicate young lady who is to be the part
ner of his life could see the same, how envla-
BILE would be her emotions?
