On the use of Tobacco.

"There is an article much used in va
rious ways, though not as an aliment, the
dcleterious effects of which on the assimi-
ating organs require to be briefly noticed ;
namely, tobacco. Although confessedly
one ofthe most virulcnt potions in nature,
yet such is the fascinating influences of
this noxious weed, that mankind resort to
it in every mode they can devise to insure
its Supplying and pernicious agency. To-
bacco disorders the assimilating functions in
general, but particularly, as l believe, the
assimilation of the saccharine principle;
have never, indeed, been aolc to trace the
development of oxalic acid to the use OF
tobacco; but that some analogous and equal
ly poisonous principle (probably Of an acid
naturc) is generally in certain individuals
by its abuse, is evident from the cathctic
looks, and from the dark and often green
sh yellow tint of the blood The severe
and dyspeptic symptoms sometimes pro-
duced by inveterate snuf-talling, are well
known; and | have more than once seen
such cases terminate fatally with malig-
mont disease of the stomach and liver.
Great smokers, also, especially those who
employ short pipes and segsrs, are said to
be liable to cancerous affections OF the lips.
But it happens with tobacco, as with dele
ferrous articles Of diet, the strong and heal
thy suffer comparatively little, while the
weak and predisposed TO disease, fall VIC
Tins to its poisonous operations, Surely,
if the dictates of reason were allowed to
prevail, an article so injurious to the health
and so offensive in all its forms and mode
of employment, would soon be baniShed
from common USE"

The Wormons at Ee .ver Islands.

The Beaver Islands-ten in number
lie in the bosom of Lake Michigan, IN
about latitude 45deg. 50min., and are
beginning to attract considerable atten-
tion both on account Of the healthlul-
ness of their climate. the extent of.heir
fish cries, and as the Zion or land of pro
mise of a considerable body OF Mormons
the followers of Mr. Strang. Big Beav-
er Island the principal one Of the group,
is thirteen miles in length by seven il
breadth, containing about $4,000 acres
OF fertile and well tlmbered land. Para
disc Bay forms the principal harbor, and
is the seat of an extensive trade in fish,
wood. &c. 1t is easily accessible, per-
fectly land-locked, and sufficiently ca
pacious tor all the crafts on the Lakes.
Around this bay the Mormons are ma
king their settlements. There are two
wood yards and three stores in operation
a steam saw mill is going up, and i'm
provements are commenced on all the
lands within four miles, beside various
commandments in other localities.
There are now employed in the FIshe-
ries, some 200 boats and 500 or 600 fish
ermen; but the opening of farms, the
building of mills, and the establishment
of all the various branches OF business al
ways found in a settlement OF free aid
enterpIising population, will soon leave
this branch of business Of comparative
non,lmportance Good stocks of cows
have been brought on by the Mormons,
who are intending to devote much atten
ton to agriculture, with every prospect
of success. Notwithstanding the high
latitude, all the nhe grain Aourlshrs,
and the prospect is that the grazing will
be of the fist quality. In casethey
shall succeed, they will be able to fur

where there is no competition within
900 miles; and where the demand must
always be great.

L A B o R .

Why, man of idleness, labor has rocked
YOU in the cradle, and has nourished your
pampered life; without it, the woven silks
and wool would be in the silk-worm's nest,
and the Aeeces in the shepherds fold. For
the meanest thing that ministers to human
want, save the air of heaven, man is in
debted to toll; and even the air; by Gods
wise ordination, is breathed with labor. 1t
is only the drones who toll not, who in
fest the hives of the active like masses of
corruption and decay. The laborers of
the earth are working men, who can build
or cast down at their will, and who retort
the sheer of the "soft handed" by pointing
TO their trophies, wherever art, science,
civilization and humanity are known.
Work on, man of toll Thy royalty is
vet to be acknowledged, as labor rises up
ward to the highest throne Of power.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1849-07-28

The spirit of rebellion likewise exists to
great extent in almost every part of Rus
STA, and large bodies oftroops are dispersed
over their empire to preserve it from total
ruin. Deducting these armies from the
forces of Austria and Russia, it will be seen
that they will not be able to send many
more armies to Hungary for the purpose Of
qnenching the fires of Liberty which have
lately been kindled in that province.
Almost all Italy, moved by the same
spirit which has agitated the other king
doms Of Europe, has rebelled against the
Pope who has been driven from the do
minions and Rome has been transformed
into Republic.
But new and unexpected difficulties have
arisen which are vet to be overcome.
France, Spain and Naples have sent ar
mics thither for the purpose of restoring
the Pope. France asserts that her troops
We're sent to protect the Romans, but they
being aware of her aim, refused her troops
an entrance INTO the city. They have
commenced hostilities the result of OF which
is uncertain as the Romans have very for
midable enemies to encounter.
Many Of the smaller states and provinces
of Europe have revolted against oppression.
The results have been various. Some have
obtained their liberty, others have had their
suilerings alleviated by somewhat milder
form of Government, and some have been
reduced to the same miserable condition in
which they We're before. That Time is
working many and wonderful changes is
made manifest in the affairs of Europe.
Who would have predicted three years
ago, that such revolutions would convulse
the world in so short a period g. that
France would first assert her own liberties,
and when neighboring people were strug-
CLING to gain their freedom, pour in. her
annihilating armies to crush them and build
up Aristocracy and Monarchy? When
we behold such mighty changes taking
place SO suddenly and rapidly it is prepos
ferrous to conjecture what the dimness Of
the Future may reveal. H. CLARKE.

One day as Zachariah Hodgson was 60

and sent it home with directions to his
wife to have it cooked for dinner. As
no particular mode of cooking was pre-
scribed, the good woman well knew that
whether she boiled it or made it into
chowder, her husband would scold her
when he came home. But she resolved
TO please him once if possible, and there

ways. She also, with some little diff

from brook back of the house, and
pumped it into the pot. In due time
her husband came home, some covere d
dishes were placed on the table, and
with frowning, fault finding look, the
moody man commenced the CONVERSE

PLAIN TALK. Mrs. Swissheln, of the
Pttsburg Saturday Visitor, goes for horse
whipping drunkards to the reform of
them, and IN answer to those who charge
her with want womanly sympathy,
quotes the following passage-"Whom
the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he receiv-
eth" olthe tipping shops and their
victims she speaks after this fashion,
eff we We're a man-if we were vo-
ter-we would vote down the GROCERIES.
As we are a woman, If We hal hus-
band, father or brother, who was likely
to become victim to the serpent of the

in the first stagss-and warn the dram
sellers within reach. not 10 encroach Oh
our hearth, and If they persisted we
would burn darn theI grogserles with
as clear 4 conscience AS we would make
fire to burn Junsbugs and save our
plums.
"This will be called incendiary doc
trine; but desperate diseases want des-
perate remedies, and when our own hap
piness and the life and soul, and the hon
or of one dear to US, are at stake, it would
not be well for the man who stood be-
tween us and his salvation, if we conclu
ded that salvation possible. We would
never advise any other to such reIre-
dy; for the remedy would be imprison,
ment Tor lite, but we would consider this
positive blessing compared to loathing
the besotted face of one We had loved.
TO us no object on earth is so loath-

drunkard.-We could not live near one,
for we should die of sick stomach. 1t
may be very angelic for pure minded,
yirtuous woman to love and caress a
great drunken beast, but for our share,
we have not the slightest prctenslons to
being an angel, and the coil of an Ana

yoke so unequal as that which would
bind decent woman to drunkard; and
we must firmly believe that so far from

drunken husband, it is a violation of the
laws of God, and the dictates of common
sense and common decency A woman
who will persist in SO living, should be
shut up in lunatic asylum. Grant it,
that she has right to dispose of herself

A Deep Fall.

Hugh Chrisman Esq, an old resPccta-
bic citizen of Jessamne, accidentally
fell into large sink, near Hickman
Creek, one night last week. He left his
residence on Tuesday, the 18th inst, for
the purpose Of visiting man who owed
him sum Of money. He failed to re-
turn at the proper time, which caused
some alarm upon the part Of his fanny
and friends. They supposed that ne had
been murdered for his money and Imme
diately made diligent search tor him.
On arriving at this cave on Saturday
last; it was evident from the signs around
that he was in it. Preparations for PEN
etrating the sink were made, and man
sent down in bus'ket After going
down, about 100 feet, he discovered the

During the last Presidential contest, he
was one of the first in the field and the last
out. His eloquent voice was heard in the
forum and upon the stump from the great
Commercial Emporium Of the North, to the
mouth of the Rio Grande of the South,
urging and advocating the election of Gen.
Taylor 10 the Presidency. While others
were hesitating, denouncing and even re-
treating from the old Hero, when clouds,
shadows and darkness" shrouded his politl-
cal horizon in gloom, William Cost john
son was in the front line, and with bold,
manly and fervid eloquence, periodically
and ardently urging his countrymen to
stand by the benetactor CT their Country as
he Gen. Taylor, fearlessly stood by its
Flag upon the great battle-felds of Palo
Alto, Reseca de Palma, Monterey and Blu
ena Vista-namcs now illustrious and i'm
mortal in American History. As is gen.
orally the case, those who were the first to
retreat before and during the battle, are
now the first to advance after the victory
has been won, and in Fallstaf' style, de-
mand their rewards for their early, snngui-
nary and patriotic devotion to the old Hero
"There are sort Of men, whose visages
| DO cream and mantle like the standing pool"
AT this particular crisis in the affairs of
Europe convulsed with the throes of Rero-
luton and anarchy, we want men ofnerve
and great abilities in the [. S. Senate.
The great and divine Truth, that all men
are born politically free and equal, is now
flashing upon the minds OF down-trodden
and oppressed millions in the Old World,
where
"Man's nhumanity to man has made countless
millions mourn"
This great truth has radiated from the
great centre of Republican freedom the
United States, our own happy land.
1t will follow other radii from the same
great centre, until it penetrates and illu-
inmates every degree and portion of the
earth's surface. We want men in the
United States Senate, who will firmly
stand by the Constitution of their Country,
repudiate all entangling alliances with
foreign Nations, fearlessly adhere to strict
neutrality In relation TO transatlantic diffi-
cultles, but at the same time cheer with
their appreciation and cordial sympathies
all Nations who have struck for liberty and
their social and political rights. The re-
alization OF this great truth, that man when
properly educated aud disciplined is born
for and capable of self-goyernment, is now
producing in continental Europe, an earth
quake sensation; and is lighting up the
volcanic fires of a Popular Revolution
among the irresistible and mighty masses,
which will ultimately wither, consume and
destroy every vestige Of feudalsm and des-
potism.
Great domestic questions will most like
ly come up for discussion in the next Con-
gress, requiring for the crisis or emergency
in both bra inches of the National Legsla-
ture, men of commanding talents, profound
wisdom and heroic frmness.
