In Hopklnton, a small town in the interior
OF Massachusetts, there stood in my school

Though reduced by the hand Of time, and
yet more by that Of man, from its former
condition, there is still that about it which
speaks OF arlstocraic maeniicence. The
fine old hall and rich tapestry hangings still
remain, and the lover of the good old En-.

younger days have listened to many a tale
OF "ieast and festival" of "huntsmen and

iioafeddown, and few old papers, have
been cnabiedio catherine following history If

Among these who held Office, before fla.
war of the revolution, under the royal ooy-

Henry FARMLAND. lie was the son of the
then governor of Bengal, and descended
rom family who could trace their ancestry
Tar back among the nobility of Normandy.
Accustomed to move in the gay and profit
gate OF European courts, he found his man

the stern Purltans of New England.
Ills official duties as collector of his Males

my present Discourse -
"Tobacco is an Indian weed,
And twas the devil sowed the seed"
My iadulgentand indulging hearers-ofall
the evil l'ahaOat have even been plastered
upon the breasts of society, that of chewing.
smoking and snuiling tobacco is the lilthicst,
the most dcmoralizlng, and the most nvet-
crate. 1t was the devil, beyond all question,
who sowcd the seed, and who is still the sole
owner and proprietor of all that is, or ever
will be, raised, Of this soul-c communicating
vegcta,@r. All the tobacco inspectors in the
country are his principal agents, appointed
to see that the traffic is carried on to his own
especial beneft-that every paper, package
parcel or cask is accompanied with label
bearing the name at the proprietor in his
own hand writing for none is genuine I'M
less signed "Bet=ebub Cdcentoot, No !
Salamander strret, Internal Regions."-
take the sub-agency Of this disgusting narco-
tic, and deal it out to his brother man, when
he knows that it is fatal in its moral effects
as drop of tnrpentinc when applied to the
back Of a bed bug. O, you vile tobacco
worms hardly know whether it is bcsr
to poke YOU about with a long stick OF rancor
or stand further off and rely upon the cnti-
cling powers of persuasion. ! expect, how
ever, 20 accomplish but little, anyway.
My hearcrs-to such of you as are in the
habit of chewing, allow me to address my
self, but-end foremost. If you don't leave
off the filthy practice shall put you down
upon my catalogue of uuclean beasts, to he
stunned and avoided by all decent socie,v-
1t is practice productive of no good wha.-
ever, and iraught with more evils than a
scavengcrs horse can carry. 1t renders
your carcascs as lothsome and DISGUSTING
