GRAssHoPPERs.--An exchange paper SAYS that
the grasshoppers have entirely destroyed the crop
of tobacco in certain localities, and have become
SO desperate that they line the fences along the
road, begging for chew. We remember an old
song, which used to be sung, when we were boy,
commencing
In ancient time,
When geese were swine,
And turkeys chewed tobacco -
And we remember too, our first impression in re-
lation to that weed and shall never forget our first
sensation produced by our first chew. Turkeys
and grasshoppersl how sick we were. We re-
member begging mother to buy as a paper of fine
cut. 1t looked 50 nice, and the men chewed il
with SO much satisfaction, and appeared 10 enjoy
its flavor and relish its taste 80 vastly, that we
thought IL must be good
We were impressed with the idea that, mas
much as the use of tobacco, as far as our expert
ence went was confined to men, that it was manly
TO chew, and we resolved to be a man and we
did, as far as tobacco qualified us become for the
,nonce man. Mother would not crafty our de-
sire by purchasing us paper of hne-cut, notwith-
standing our plea that it was good for the tooth
ache so we begged chew, and thought ourself a
man The impression did not last long. Our
manhood evaporated like smoke. Soon we came
to the conclusion that il was out of our power to
maintain the dignity of manhood; that we were
too young yet; that we must eat some more bread
and butter, and grow little taller before we could
venture on another chew. Would these impress
sons had contnued-would that we had list
enel to the counsel of our kind mother, who did
30 much to make us well--would that we had re-
solved never to try to be man again--would that
we had never defled our mouth with tobacco
But, fool that we were, we sighted our mothers
wise counsel we forgot our sufferings; we laughed
TO scorn those who tried to persuade US to our
good, and became, not man, but a slave to per-
nicious and filthy habit.
We were not aware that grasshoppers chewed
tobacco Frequently, in passing over the Smith
sonian grounds, have noticed their importantly,
if it might not be called i,npudence. Impudence
it certainly was, for We had liked to have trod
upon some of them. In their eagerness, they
have aighted upon our person, and we have nc,
tualy plucked them from that portion of our
dress which contains tobacco We did this
innocently, not dreaming that they were after
chew This shows what desperate means will be
resorted to for the qualification of depraved APP
petite. They must have known that we chewed
tobaccol How contemplate we must have APP
peared, for it is the quintesence of meanness to
refuse to divide even your last chew with an ami
NAL who, like yourself has acquired taste for the
noxious weed. The next time we visit the Smith
sonian grounds, the grasshoppers shall have no
cause to complain of our stinginess. If they want
chew, they shall have it.
Grasshoppers chew,
And turkeys, too
And that is what hog won't do
But man, the initiative elf,
Less than beast makes of himself
BY learning how to chew-tobacco.
