That beautiful body of yours, in whose
construction infinite wisdom exhausted
the resources Of its ingenuity, is the tenn
pie Of soul that shall live forever, a com
panion of angels, searcher into the deep
things of God, allied in essence. to the
divine. | say the body is the temple, or
the tabernacle, or the tavern, of such a
being as this, and what do you think of
stufing the front door of such building
full of the most disgusting weeds that you
can find, or setting q slow match to it,
OF filing the chimney with snuff? 1t
looks to me more like ali endeavor to smok'
out the tenant or to insult him in such
a manner as to induce him to leave the
premises. You really ought to be asha-
med of such behavior. A clean mouth,
a sweet breath, unstained teeth, and in
offensive clothing-are not these treas
ures worth preserving: Then throw
away tobacco and all thoughts of it at
once ana forever, DC man. De &c
