TO TOBACCO CHEWERS. -:
We have sorrowful intelligence for the
lovers of TIE weed. 1t has been consider
ed, from time imnl emorial; that the luxury
of chewing tobacco, could be enjoyed only
by man thatno other living creature. with
the exception Of the tobacco worm, found
i, al all agreeable. Now, we can enjoy p
choice Havana as much as any person.;
il is a real luxury, after the hustle and toll
of the day, 10 sit down and puff "dull care
away"-it is better plan than trying TO-
dro,On it-but we are much afraid that It
is all orer noU.' :; - 80 g, q.
We have also, hitherto; been thuch nad-
dicred 10 the moro conniGndnode Of con-
suming the Virginia s,aple--as the shade
Of many departed plug Of "honey dew,1s
could testify, if called Up as-evidence, and
oft and again, with feeling akin 10 sor-
row; have we deposited the last delicious
morse in its final resting place, and "bit,,
terly thought of Tomorrow, "and where
The next was to come from, bul-it IS aH
over no,0. Well do we remember the 6rsi
chew, and the second, and the third, and
not few Of the boys about town, know
expetimentaly uky We remember those I
''Irying times" but what Of that! We
were trying 10 look manly. We envied
boys of bigger growth around US, who app;
pearet so manish. rolling the quid frout
one side Of the mouth TO the other, and
squirting out the juice with such self sat-
isiied air, occasionally leaving visible
marks Of their advancement in life, on The
smooth dickies which the careful mammasi
had done up so nicely for the young mas
ters. We envied them we say, and NOT
wilhssnding that ,couLd: force themselves
upon us. we "kept Trying" until we sue
ceeded, ard Then we fairly revefed-in the
delights uf masticaion butt is all ors1
no,O. Those halcyon days Of enjoyment,
appear now like a dream, too pleasant to
last long I'VE have 'awoAe tD. terrible realt
.iIy. Boys, take ~atning, we assure you
thai this, our leading article for 10 day, is
no Gclion-wbat we are.:abou, to relaie is
a veri,abIe 'occurrence; :one which makes
US feel now, pretty much as we felt when.
our irst chevy had fairly got under way.
Que which Ike you feel woIae than;
si0s lsefe isnerans tis1 ss6f the
fact, but no matter-it is all orer no,0.. A.
friend Of ours who still, clings to the old
fashioned habit of getting up earlier than is
now the CUSTOM, twish he had oVerslePe
himself ON this particular morning,) was
taking his usual walk 'down street, when
he discovered something sitting on the
pavement, quietly enjoying good-szed
chew of tobacco. He could scarcely be.
lieye his eyes, and determining 10 ascer:
tain the true state Of the matter, be stopped
down, aid as, the: chew was rather too
large for the creature, he caught hold of
the Tobacco, hardly believing il possible,
'that the animal was actually chewfngL
when TO bis utter anazemenf, it'decamped
with the greater portion Of the quid.-
Facts are Stubborn things" but that of a
Frog chewing tobacco, has brought US
short TO the conclusion, that we will be
surprised d, hothiug, however improbable;
lhet may happen. ave have sad forebo-
dinss, we are lafraid it wont stop here
we expect nothing else, but in the twilight
Of The beautiful evenings of our "lndian
Summer" to see !lols, Of young 'picanny
frogs, smoking their ''colorados" and ire

srandsres and grandpas, are at digaifed

than in anger, that a-Fros chews tobac-
