A SMOKING Ace There has been an iron
age and golden age, and several dark ages,
but in these last times we have fallen on q
smoking age. Go where we will, we must
be prepared to meet tobacco smoke. Visit
the most secluded mountain, lake or shore, and
the smoke of the cigar or pipe will greet you
there. High and low, rich and poor, men and
boys; yes, boys no higher than your knee,
puff sway at the wisp oftobacco. Perhaps you
think it will clear up on Sunday, or at least
that walk to country place of worship will
befree from all such annoyances, but you will
be disappointed. The cigar is smoked, up to
the very door of the church, and is lighted
again as soon as the outer air is reached after
service, and will precede, attend or follow you
a far as you go.
The boys smoke on their way to school
they smoke at recess-they smoke as they 60
on errands. Segar smoke gracefully curls
round the matted head of the little ragged
vagabond, and perhaps the policeman that
takes him up for steeling, will light his own ci.
gar at his little prisoners fire!
Ministers Of the gospel, and Sunday school
teachers have taken sides with the smokers,
and boys have already found in the breath Of
their teachers on Sunday an apology for re-
sorting to the vile practice on other days.
Bishop James, at the close of the late New
Jersey (Methodist) Conference, severely re.
buked the practice of young clergymen smok-
ing cigars about the streets, and especially in
the vestibule of the church! He spoke Of the
habit as extremely injurious to health, as we'll
as being very undignifed in Christian MIN
ister "Suppose." said the Bishop, "a painter
were to draw Paul or Apollos and Cephas
with cigars in their mouths! You would say
at once an enemy hath done it, to bring ridi.
cule upon these holy men,"
We were told lately of q missionary to a
distant part of the world who laid in stock
ofsixty.6ve pounds Of chewing tobacco. We
hope his mission was not to opium eaters.
And the religious papers tell US without any
comment) of splendid silver snuff box being
presented to another missionary, who prefer.
red the dust of the filthy weed to the smoke
of it.
We hope our friends will set their faces as
a flint against the habitual use Of tobacco,
whether it be to smoke it, or to chew it, or to
snuff it, except by the advice of judicious
physician who never uses it.-Youtts Penny

The SoUTH-CARoLINA INsTITUTE.-It will,
doubtless be recollected by our readers that tles
Legislature of. this State, at its last session. aR
propriated the sum of $4,000 for the building
Of Hall for the Exhibition of the South-C Caro-
lima Institute, half Of which sum is to be paid
when the contract is made and the building
commenced, and the balance, of $4,000, when
the Governor certifes that the building has been
completed, provided, however, that the sum OF
$4,000 be raised by the Institute, for the same
purpose, from other sources
5 The Board of Directors, deeply impressed With
the Importance to the city of having a G: ntral
position for their building, as well as space su-
cient for their purposes, on the passage OF the
appropriation, Immediately took the matter into
their earnest. consideration, and have, we are,
graticd to state, obtained the refusal Of the lot
on the east side Of Meetingstreet next south OF
the Circular Church, including the new brick sta
BILE, the whole measuring eighty feet in front by
one hundred and tllirty-one feet in depth, which
they intend to purchase Immediately, and erect
irtpreUn, handsome and substantial building
which will contain three convenient stores on
the lower story, the second story being intended
for the large Hall for the Exhibition
To carry out this plan, however, it is estima-
ted will require some $4,000 in addition to the
$4,000 appropriated by the Legislative, and it
is.with extreme qualification that we are enabled
to state that at the meeting Of the City Coun--
Gil, held last syenDg resolutions, which will be
found in our synopsis Of the proceedings in
another column, granting the Institute an abso--
lutte appropriation Of $4,000, ,Eand in further
aid, loan of $4,000, thus completing the spnis,
required.
We sincerely congratulate itsetors and
our citizens on the blAiant Prospect Of success
that now seems to await this most Deserving In
stitution. Ever since its foundation, it has been
labo6ng Under many and great disadvantages,
which crippled in a great measure its efficiency,
but now, thanks to the liberality Of the Legisla-
ture, and the prompt and efficient aid so muni6-
Gently afforded it by our City Fathers, the in
conveniences hitherto felt will in future, be OBJ
waited, and it will now be enabled to carry OUT
the great objects for which it was Established

and the full development of the Industrial re-

routes supposed he the most practicable for such

jeot to DC the result Of Wing policy which the Dem

public sentiment to adopt. Certainly he can have

by the lights of the great dominant party of the
country, with regard to the powers and duties of the
General Government when he penncd the article in

1t is true, the doctrine has ever been held BIZ the
Democratic party, that Congress has no power under
the constitution to provide for a system of Internal
improvements in The States, or TO dispose of the
treasure OF the nation for the construction of work
not OF a national character within their limits The
adherencesto that fundamental principle caused the

the unlimited power OF Congress to construct the
road through the territory OF the United States out
