Tobacco Smokers and Chewers.

Here are two or three hints to juve-
nile Tobacco smokers and chewers
which we extract from the Boston Oh
i've Branch, they are worth being treas
ured up:
Tobacco has spoiled and utterly ruin
ed thousands of boys, inducing dan
gerous precocity, developing the pas
sions, softening and weakening the
bones, and greatly injuring the spinal
marrow, the brain and the whole ner-
vous fluids A boy who early and
freely smokes, or otherwise largely uses
tobacco, never is known to make man
ofmuch energy OF character. and gene
rally lacks physical and muscular as
well as mental energy. To people oil
der, who are not naturally nervous
and particularly to the phlegmatic, to
those of cold and more than a dutch
temperament, tobacco may be compar-
atively harmless: but even to these il
is worse than useless. We would par
ticularly warn boys who wish to be
ssany body"in the world, avoid tobacco
as deadly poison.

A DUEL IN TEE CLOUDS.

Two celebrated French aronauts,
NJ. de Grandpree and NJ. LIE Pique of
Paris, quarrelled about fashionable
opera dancer and challenge was the
consequence. Being both men of ele-
waited minds, they agreed to fight in
balloons; and in order to give time for
their preparation, it was agreed that
their duel should take place that day
month. Accordingly, on the Sd of
May, loOS, the parties met in a field
adjoining the Tuilleries, where their re-
spective balloons were ready to receive
them. Each party ascended his car.
The weapons to be used, by mutual
consent, were blunderbusses, as pistols,
twas supposed, would be altogether in
sufficient in their probable situations.
A vast multitude attended. hearing of
the ascent, but little dreaming of the
hostile intentions of the eronauts, being
merely attracted to the spot by the then
unprecedented novelty of balloon
race. At nine O'Clock the chords were
cut, and the balloons ascended majes-
tically, amidst the shouts of admiring
thousands. The wind was moderate
from the NV, and they kept as well
as could be judged between ninety and
one hundred yards of each other
When they had arrived at the height
of about nine hundred yards Mons. lie
Pique fired, but without effect; almost
Immediately after, his fire was returned
by NJ. Grandpree; the contents OF his
blunderbuss penetrated his adversary's
balloon; the consequence was the rapid
descent of the machine, and Mons. lie
Pipe was dashed to pieces on house
top, on which his shattered balloon tell.
The victorious Grandpree then mount
ed aloft in the Grandest style, and de-
scended safe about seven leagues from
the spot of ascension.
