lioRRoRs OF SMoKING.-An acquaintance,
who has for years been alternately smoker
and chewer of tobacco, tells us that. although
IN good health and prosperous in his affairs, he
was frequently low-spirited, he could never
tell why. Besides he was troubled with twich-
ing IN the corners Of his eyes, which some.
times extended TO the corners of his mouth
at last he began to accuse his beloved cirars
as the cause, ard with much effort broke off
from smoking and chewing. The consequence
is, that all the disagreeable things he endured
have disappeared. His spirits are uniformly
buoyant, muscles quiet. As to the fellows
who smoke in Broadway, spelling the common
air of heaven, we wish spasms would seize all
their mouths so that they could not hold cigar.
