1 oOacco is the Nth oil hlthS. In Ken
tucky and Virginia there is a great green
worm, called the tobacco worm, and it
feeds on the young leaves Of this plant.
This is believed 10 be the only thing that
has life which eats tobacco, except one.
That other thing is also a living creature
and is said to be a reasonable creature
His reason informs him that his stomach
is capable Of sustaining life under almost
any abuse. That nature has endowed
that organ with a surprising power Of re-
sistance and that we can without imme-
diute danger put almost any thing inc it.
There are certain outrages of this kiAd,
which she (naturc) will not tolerate, such
as ursnec, rats-bune and verdergris. But
by this reason it is settled that he may
pour down vinegar and alcohol, acids,
ether, oils, pepper, mustard, hot-water,
and even tobacco, and although the stom-
ach revolts the man lives. The brute
creation sometimes take poison too, but
this happens through mistake or starva-
ton. The rational creature takes it not
by mistake, but ty design, and his study
is not 10 avoid it, but know how far he
may indulge and keep his animal life.
Some call the Virginia weed pungent,
aromatic perfume. Take for instance an
old cIaypipe with a stem TWO inches long.
This is pungent is it. Take IL stump Of
a cigar smoked up to the lips, this Is aro-
matte. Inhale a little Of the breath of a
tobacco smoker, here you have the per-
lume. Your old and hardened smoker
how he delights TO get TO the windward
Of you with his two cent cigar. How he
| Iabors at the vile roll Of tobacco with the
suction power Of his lungs, TO get a good
moulhful Of the smoke. How leisurly
he blows forth in a conical stream into
your face. Is it offensive 10 him! by no
means. 1t is odorous, it is incense. So
is The mire TO the wallowing SOW, aroma
to her hostrils. Your smoker enters a
stage coach, hopes it is not offensive, and
puils away. Should he not bring a pot
Of asafetidaasacounteructing agent! We
arc told that in Spain the garlic is recei-
we'd us a deIicacy; wonder if a confirmed
smoker would consent to have garlics
put under his nose in a stage coach.
Your chewcr is more decent. Some
times he splits on your dress; but that is
inevitable; he spits with care, but can
not control the precious liquid. His
mouth, his breath, AMI his clothing, are
all bedaubed with the golden juice. lie
is an object of disgust TO his vile, (his
sweetheart is not allowed TO see it) and
Of alarm to all decent dressed company.
But his influence is comparatively lini-
ted. The weed has the power to pane
trate every thing it touches. Breathe a
few puhs into the head Of Il lousy child,
and the unwelcomc inhabitants are spec
Oily departing for the o!hct world. Put
u leaf of tobacco on the breast. aud the
subject shortly heavos and rotchos as in
stomach. 1t is death or nausea 10 every
thing but the chewer, smoker, and the
tobacco worm
"Oh," said Il sweet bride the other day
TO a half civilized husband, ''do leave
off smoking; | had much rather you
would chew" She was right. The
chewing is certainly a mitigation in favor
of the public. 1t is not an abatement OF
a nuisance, but an amcliorqtion. The
circle of consuming stencil is diminish
ed. The chcwcr does not force others
TO breathe over his smoke. Unless he
spirits directly into your face and eyes,
you are not likely 10 consume any Of his
darling beverage. His mouth may take
the appearance Of tanned leather; but
this is a distant object, etiecung The taste
and not the senses. He may by storing
II large cud oftobacco leaves in his cheek,
form a prolrubcranco at one corner OF
his mouth, like a chip squirrel conveys
chestnuts (only the squirrel studies
symelry by using both sidcs); bat that is
Il family affair, with which the public
have nothing TO do. His bunch of chew
ed leaves is inside, out Of sight in the
main, at all events offensive only occa-
sionally.
Now to the pipe and the cigar. The
pipe stem has made a hollow in The I'M
der lip, and ii corresponding projection in
the upper. The cigar has the same eff
feet, only the pipe generally takes the
left corner and the cigar the right. One
drags down lis corner, and the other elo-
Yates its corner, which ii surrounds with
a beautiful quicker,
Thus between them, the mouth origi-
nally horizontal, takes an oblique posi-
lion, adding greatly to the symetry of the
face. Nature being Il poor judge OF
what is handsome and convenient, did
not fix the lips with a place for u pipe
stem and a cigar, in truth the continents
whereon she placed The first man was so
miserably provided, that it had no tobac-
co until The time of Queen Elizabeth.
Suppose a man with a lighted cigar
had walked into Paradise, his face carry
ing fire and smoke, would not our first
parents have taken him for a dcmon?-
would he have haen Suffarpd IN remain
