Oxs or THE CrcAas.-A New York

Two or three years ago = Spauiard from
Cuba went to New York to Be treated 70,
adisease Of the lungs, lie went to DR.

elf in the Doctors hands. ~
- well" said the doctor, "if l under.
take yourcure. shall be obliged to impose
one condition and that is rather hard
one for you to comply with" tf'.
10 What 10 it?'' asked the Cuban.
THAT you entirely cease smoking until
lgive you permission to resume"
.agr Never I'd rather let the thing kill
me. What pleasure is there ia life II one
! cannot smoke - 4a
The doctor was smoker himself. and
/ tclt some sympathy. So he said.
perhaps this is beyond your
power. But you must solemnly promise
me to smoke but one cigar per day,
or will not undertake your case"
The Cuban promis I'd. it was his only
chance. Four or FIVE days Afterwards the
doctor thought he would call upon him Is
he passed the house and thus save him q
yak to the Office for the day. He walk
cd up stairs -knocked;-"Come in''-
behold the Cuban with cigar about
eighteen inches long and q proportionate
ahickness! lie confessed that he had
that brand made to order for him-but

litical organization is on foot inthe North
for the purpose of breaking up priestly in,
reference with politics. Among other
things. it proposes to place our clergy on
an equal footing with the rost Of US, in
respect to taxation, military duty, jury
daty. dc. Their exemption was purely
for the express purpose Of Withdrawing
them from the caucus and the stump, but
they decline the honor. Unless the clergy
abstain from the attempt 10 control the
politics of the country, they cannot com
plain if the privileges which have been
granted them by Legislation. and which
are alluded to shove, are taken away
The recent identification of large body
Of them with desperate political faction,
and their unscrupulous Dissertation the
pulpit 10 give it success, has created q
deep and bitter feeling throughout the
laAd, and the tcnets ascribed to the new
party would be embraced by thousands

nomination, and the sooner the latter &C,
upon this assumption, the better for them
and the interests ofgion. =
