COFFEE, TEA AND TOBACCO.

CORES is not as universally used as tea,
and is more confined TO the Southern eli.
mates. The Arab loves tits use is uni.
. versal among the sons Of the desert. All
civilized nations use it-but the savage man
does not incline to it as beverage. Its
effects are exhilarating and delightful, and
it acts like tea on the social faculties. but
never TO any great extent distutbs the gros-
ser passions of our race. In excess, II
weakens the nervous system by over slim
ulus, and Induces premature decay in the
nervous powers. In the blood it acts as a
chemical agent more potently than tea. 1t
is more used in warm than in cold climates.
TEA is produced as an article Of con-
sumption by whole empires Of men-and in
the currents of commerce it floats to every
part Of the universe-net continent or an
island is without it, and it is consumed by
hundreds Of millions Of people daiiy.-lt
acts upon our social qualities, and the fe-
male in particular is rendered social and
talkative by its use. 1t is the balm OF all
headaches, pains, ills, and sorrows, and
unless used in excess, none are aware OF
any banetul influences from its use. 1t
seems not to disturb our animal nature, but
is the reverse of alchohol in its effects in
this particular. The universal instinct
which causes its use in civilized life, is no,
we'll understood.
TOBACCO has run most remarkable ca
reer, having reduced TO its sway ,wo-thirds
of the human race ; its effects are eagerly
sought by the civilized and savage man and
its pestilen, fumes scent the palace and the
wigwam. The Russian, the German, the
Hindoo and the savage both chew and
smoke it. 1t sets up constant chemical
action in the blood, aud weakens the ner
vous energies by excessive action. 1t
blunts the passions and dulls the mental
powers. No man every wrote a good poem
or speech under its nfuence.-Scalpel.

A SMART HoRsE-TRiEF.-Att the encamp-
men, Of body of British troops in the
province Of Bajepore in the East Indies,
one of the officers had horse stolen, but
the thief missing the road before he got
out Of sight of the tents, was detected and
brought back.
The gentleman, highly pleased at re-
covering the horse, and much surprised at
the dexieIity of the fellow who carried him
from the midst OF five or seven files Of
grooms. was more Inclined to admire his
address and experiences than to punish him.
Next morning his resentment having
entirely sassided, he yielded TO his curiosi-
~. lie ordered the fellow, therefore, to
ba brought before him. and enquired by
what continuance he had effected his pur-
pose.
The fellow replied he could not well tell
his honor, but if he pleased he would show
him.
We'll then says the officer, =" since you

The friends parted.
The next day had dawned. They ar

had the fatal sentence been read, when the
low murmur that ran through the ranks
changed into almost .deafening shouts.
"The Emperor! the Emperor! Long

He appeared. dismounted from his horse
and then. with his short, quick step, he
walked up to the condemned.
" Pierre" said he to him.
Pierre gazed at him, and made an effort
to speak, but sudden s,upor seemed to

visited his cell was the Emperor himself!

Her story is this: A short time since, her
