THE EVILS OF SMOKING.

A sensible writer in the Olive Branch,
says:-
"Of the different habits OF using tobacco.
the most excep,ionable is tina, of smoking
In the first place, smoking cannot be indul-
ged in, without annoyance TO others. By
great care, one may take snuff or chew and
concea! from others the disagreeable effect of
his indulgence; but not so, with a substance
so expansive as smoke. Pocket-handker-
chief, spittoons, and all other means resorted
to in the former cases, in this, are wholly in
eilcctual. Tobacco smoke is exceedingly
voitlle, and soon spreads over great surface

those who hold the smell in perfect abhor-
ence.
We recently heard lawyer argue quite
learnedly TO show that smoking was an ac-
tionable offence distinct from violation Of
the municipal laws which prohibit smoking
in the streets. In the latter case this offence
though cassed among nuisances, was made
punishable chiefly on account of the danger
which it imposed Of an increase of conflagra-
tions.-But the lawyer alluded to, assumed
the position Of an action for trespasS. What
right said he, 'has any one to faint and rem

we hold in common and undivided, and which

he, "a neighbor of mine in any way obstructs

THE TIMES.

The fashions, the plans, had almos, said
the rage of the present day, is to bring every
thing in mechanics, literature, morals, and
religion, down to the test OF the present effect,
and present apparent good. As if God had
not wisely ordained that good shall always
flow from the embracing great, fixed princi-
plies. We feel that il is loss of time to
give or receive deep, solid Instructions or to
endure the task of thinking. How difficult
to get men TO sit down and read sober, orig
inal, deep book Our ideas must all be
thought out for us, and poured into the ear
Just as IA song would he. In our preachers,
we demanl men who have popular talents -
who can electriiy, tighten and thunder, sweep
like whrlwind, carrying men INTO the king
dom by violence, and before they know il,
and move them on in the growth of grace by
SUGGESTIONS of powerful impulses. Our
teachers must be men of popular address,
with the power of communicating knowl-
edge, which can be obtained in the least
possible time, and at once be applied TO US.
AS if men, in this agilaled states of the
world, could come up amid the bookings and
the storms of the age, without deep, fixed
principles for "A shcet-ahchor. The waves
Of excitement already run high, and will run
still higher; and he who acts as teacher il
the day or Sabbath school, who does not try
to lay the foundations of character on fixed
definite principles, even the everlasting
foundations of truth, falls short of this duty

THE DRUID'S ALTAR.

While toiling along these wild wastes lin
PortugaD perceived, little way 10 my left
pile of stones of rather singular appear
ance, and rode up to it. 1t was ii Druidcal
altar, and the most perfect and beautiful one
of the kind have ever seen. 1t was circu-
lar, and consisted of stones immensely large
and heavy at the bottom, which towards the
top became thinner, having been fashioned
by the hand of art to something Of the shape
of scollop-shel These were surmounted
by very large fiat stone, which slanted down
towards the south, where was door. Three
or four individuals might have taken shelter
within the interior, in which was growing Il

and awe upon the pile where the first colo

skiliul Roman, comparatively of modern date,

Druid's stone; there it stands on the hill OF
the winds, as strongly and as freshly new as
the day, perhaps thirty centuries back, when
it was first raised by means which are mys-
terry. Earthquakes have leaved it, but its
capstone has not fallen rain floods have
deluged it, but failed to sweep it from its sta
ton; the burning sun has flashed upon it,
but neither split nor crumbled it and time,

view it declare. There it stands, and he
who wishes to study the literature, the learn

Cymbsian, may gaze on its broad covering

From the New Era.
THE EAGLE UNCLAIMED.

Thou in chains thou regal bird?
Fettercd and bound like thing of crime!
Thou, whose ciafious voice was heard
Blending its notes with the thunder chime!
Thou, whose home is the mountain peak,
Thou, who drnketh the mountain stream,
Thou, who whettesl thy bloody bcak
On the blasted rock, with mighty scream!
Chains were made for those who crawl,
Over the earth with a slavish soul
Licking the dust in a lordling's hall,
Sippng the lees of lordllng's bowl;
Not for the brave and fearless mind,
Not for the proud and chainless ones,
They who, casting fear behind,
Revel and JOY mid the wreck Of thrones.
Not for thee of the tireless wing,
Born in the tempest-rocked in the storm,
Soaring aloft where the sunbeams fling
Glory and light on thy kngly form
Emblem that tells of a nations fame,
Wrought in her banner-engraved on her shield
Bearing aoft her mighty name,
Ger the pillows foam and the tented field.
Gather thy strength, thou bird flight,
Fix thine eyes on the god Of dav,
Spread thy wings for glorious flight,
Then away to the wooded hlls-away!
i have given thee freedom, thy Chains are broke,
Thy limbs released thy pnons freed,
Cieave the air with might stroke,
10 shy mountain eyre speed thee speed!
