The OLD NJ 3gro's Logic.

A clergyman asked an old servent his rea-
sons for believing in the existence of God.
"Sr," says he = | see one man get sick The
doctor comes to him, gives him medicine the
next day he is better nc gives him another
dose, 1t docs him good: he keeps on till he
gets about his business. Another man gets
sick like the first one, the doctor comes To see
him he gives HIM the same sort of medicine !;
1t does him no good he gets worse: gives hlm
more; but he gels worse all the time Til his
dies. Now that mans time to die had come,
and all the doctors in the world couldn't cure
him.
Zone year work in the cornfeld, plow deep
dig up grass, and make nothing but nubbins,
Next year work the same way; the rain and
dew comes, and make crop.
"Ihave been here going hard upon fifty years
Every day since have been in this world

The Force CT Habit.

A celebrated wr.er afirms that "to5acco is
used amsng no less than eight hundred millions
of men" Opium and other narcotics also have
their millions Of devotces. The craving for
such narcotics, and the habit of gratifying it,
are described as little less universal than the
desire for, and the consumption Of the necessary
material of our common food. What COM
mentary upon the POWER Of habit! The story
Of Coleridge, the celebrated poet and phlloso-
pher, and that of De Quincy, the tar-tamed
English opium eater are striking illustrations
Of thls almost on.nipotent power, and full of
admoniton.
1t is remarkable that tobacco, the taste OF
which excites, at first, such loathings and dis
gust should by constant use, become finally 50
dclc ous to the tongue, and obtain such a mas
terry over the appetite as to exert imperial sway
over both the phys cal and moral nature. And
the same may be said of ardent spirits and
opium. There are few individuals who have a
natural taste for any of these, and yet few of
those who become slaves to their will, ever
succeed in escaping their thruldom. When
we are told at first the dangers of these
fascinating soothers and exciters, we are dis
posed to rld!cule tie possibility of their becom-
lug necessity, and treat the idea OF over-ln-
diligence with dcrslon and contempt. Never
theless, the victims, as is well known, may be
! counted by thousands-nay, millions. The
slaves of excess, IN one form or another, o.
tobacco, of opium, Of alcohol, not 10 men
ton many other tempting narcotics, may
be found in all portions of the earth--among
the rude and civilized, the naughty and the
humble-in the palace of the prince and the
hut OF the peasant. We are indeed "feeblt
creatures" small in bodily strength; grain o
opium will conquer, Or few drops of laudanun
lay US PROSTATE. But how much weaker IN mind
when knowing the evils to watch they lead,w'
are unable to resist the fascinating temptation
of these drugs.
