ToBACco--In the deed of trust made by DR..
Elphalet Mott, and Urania +. Mott bis wife,
of six hundred and ten thousand dollars, for
the use Of Union College, New York, are the
following stipulations:
at is earnestly recommended to, and ez-
pected of every professor to avoid the use Of
tobacco, in any Of its forms.
"And each assistant professor, before enter
ing on the duties of his office, shall subscribe
in tho book to be provided therefor, declara-
ton in the words following to wit:
&C sOlemuly promise that will neither use
tobacco, in any Of its forms, so long as | con-
tinue to receive the avaiIs OF an assistant pro-
fessorship, founded by the deed Of trust exccu-
ted by Eiphalet Mott and Uranis +. Mott to
the Trustees Of Union College, bearing date
the 2Sth day OF December, 1853, aud that
will discourage tho use of such articles"
The Buffalo Democracy remarks:
"The reason for adjusting the professor not
to use the poison, and forbidding the assistant
professor to use il, is perhaps to be found in
the difference between their ages, and in the
important fact that the assistant professors are
more Immediately in contact with the young
students, and therefore much more likely to
influence them by example.
"From q knowledge Of the dynamic action
OF tobacco upon the constitution OF man, de-
rived from on experience of fifty years, among
thousands Of youth Of every temperament, tho
great teacher knows well that the weed is ex-
Oeedingly injurious to those that Use it, and
especially so TO boys of immature organiza-
tons, and leading sedentary lives. Its action
is well known. 1t induces dyspepsia, affects
the sight, produces vertigo, pal itation of the
heart, frshes of sweat on slight exoitations.

DRY, and dullness Of the faculties. When
consumed to excess, worse and more pro-
nounced symptoms than those manifest them
selves
The wise old man moreover knew, from
half century's observation, that the stimulus
OF tobacco crayed sympathetically other stimu-
lus. The Sophomore that chewed and smoked
freely, got his nervous system into condition
where the bracing influence Of brandy was but
too agreeable. ALI stimuli of the human or

A DEEP SPRING-On Lake Prairie, Iowa,
there is a spring, the bottom of which no plum
met has ever yet sounded. 1t has false bot
tom about three feet from it's surface, through
which, if q heavy twenty-foot pole DO thrust,
it will sink under the sand com posing this
crust-like layer, and, in a moment after It's dis
appearance will bound up again on the sur
face. An Indian legend has it, that on quiet,
full-moon night, the Great Spirit led the wick
ed ones Of a certain tribe thithor, and when
they saw the glorious beauty Of the crystal
water, they thought to battle themselves in the
moon. kissed fountain, and therefore plunged
into the spring, but sunk to rise no more Ever
afterwards, runs the story, tho names Of those
evil unfortunstes have troubled tho boston!ess
waters; and to this day they agit2to the deoep-
tive bosom of the beautiful though dangerous
spring.

Advertising Worth Having.

Our Anderson friends, EARLE and .cE ara fortunate
in the way of advertising. In their papers there san

lands of the estate of Mr.. Maverick, which measures
Forty squares, and is worth about ninety dollars ac

friends observe. =~.

largely of American bounty and pretend whilst in our
