CoSsUMrTIoS.-The editor of the New Hamp-
shire Telegraph, in an article relating to the
frequency of this disease among u, and its char
acter, says: st4i. -
If there be disease in this world of ills, which
seems in particular manner to tit it's victim for
the fate which human skill cannot avert, that dis
ease is the consumption. To one who is full Of
life, and hope, and JOY, the frst conviction that
it has fastened its death grasp upon him. the fear
full certainty of its end, will fash through him
with thrill of terro--more, doubtless, than that
of most other diseases. Startling it must be,
indeed, to feel for the first time that there is
worm gnawing at ones vitals, whose greedy teeth
no human skin can stay-startling to feel the
certainty of disease within, whose end is surely
death. But how soon does the spirit grow calm,
and he feels the disease tugging at his heart
strings, and his strength wasting away before it.,
how calmly then does the soul plume itself for
its upward Hight-how trustingly then docs it
lean upon the bosom Of its God-and when flesh
and heart grow faint, and fail, how sweetly
sinks to its final rest, the victim Of consumption.

TOBACCO CHEwERs READ THIs.-Some time
since, we stated that Tobacco was injurious to
health, and that the purchase of the weed was a
useless expenditure Of money. Since our article
appeared, we have seen many other articles on
the same subject in our exchanges, one of which
fully proves what we have asserted:
TOBACCo.-The habitual use of tobacco was
never calculated for health or substantial comfort,
or to prolong life. 1t destroys all these. Not
withstanding the slow and insiduous manner in
which it poisons the vitals and undermines the
constitution it is yet seen that it occasions every
where, a frightful loss of life. In the United
States, intelligent physicians have estimated that
10000 die every year, from the use Of tobacco :;
and in Germany, where the streets as well as the
houses, are literally befogged with tobacco smoke,
the physicians have calculated that, Of all the
deaths which occur between the ages of l8 and 35,
one-haf originate in the waste of the constitution
by smoking Such opinions as these from men
who ought to know, should startle all the world,
and bring chewcrs and smokers to their senses, in
regard to the powers of this Indian weed, and the
effects of habits which tco many have been in
clined hitherto, to call harmless. .- .-.r
Beside its effect upon health, it is drain upon
the pocket of every man, Of from $50 to 500 per
year, more than enough to find all his family in
shoe leather and several other little necessares Of
l:fc. Tobacco advocates, think of this.

HORRIBLE CRuELrY.-A German child two
years of age, whose parents resided in Europe,
but who was adopted by q man named Young In
New Orleans was wantonly murdered by inches
few days since. The Coroner's inquest revealed
long continued barbarity, on the part of its
adopted parents, by which death finally was pro-
duced. The scars Of many cowhiding were
plainly visible, and in some cases pieces of flesh
were striped from the poor emaciated, haf-starved
infants back. For days it had been locked up in
garret, deprived of food, and almost starved to
death. A young Irish woman testified that hay
ing seen the child incarcerated in the garret for
over twenty -four hours, aad knowing that it had
no food, she procured ladder, reached an open
ing in the garret, and conveyed it food which it
devoured with the most ravenous ability. Young
had pressed and crushed the sides Of the child
together, and had often suspended it by the neck
and beat it with cowhide.
