COULDN'T LEARN TO SMOKE.

Tobacco, when inhaled for The first time.
commonly produces sensations the nature
OF which, too well remembered by those
who have endured them, may be best cx-
planned to others by likening them to nau,
sea on board of a ship in storm, but with
complete prostration and painful uneasincss.
In many cases one experiment is enough to
produce an unconIuerabIe aversion to its
ever being repeated. 1t had this result
with Wellington, who once, and only once
smoked. OIrthe evening Of his first arr-
val from the Peninsula, at the inn at Ports
mouth, he was induced to join the circle of
smokers but a few moments sufRccd to fix
forever his hostility to what he always con-
slderod an odious habit. Napoleon's dis
gust was even more rapidly attained though
he INDUCED in tobacco in the form of snuff
to an extent surpassed by few. 1t is Con-
slant who tells Of the emperor once taking
fancy to smoke for the purpose of trying
a fino oriental pipe presented to hm by a
Turkish or Persian ambassador. After being
shown how to operate, he told Constant to
light the pipe. 81 obeyed, and?returned it
to him in order; but scarcely had he drawn
in a mouthful when the smoke, which lie
knew not how to expcl from his mouth,
turned back into his palate, penetrated into
his throat, came out by the nose and blinded
him. AS soon rs he recovered breath, he
said, "Take that away from me.-what abom.
ination! Oh, the swine; my stomach turns s!'
"In fact" adds Constant; "hc felt so an.
noyed for at least half an hour, that lie re.
nounced forever the pleasure of a habit
which he said was only fit to amuso slug

Musical Lcgislutors.-Th Maine Lcgis-
lature las Instituted the novel and very
pleasant feature Of morning concerts in leg
islative sessions. The Kcnncbcc Journal
says:
The veteran messenger Of the House,
Mr.. Thomas Of Newburg, has taste for
music, and he has discovered IN unusual
amount and variety Of musical t:lcpt among
the members. This united talent has been
brought out IN series of impromptu morn
ing concerts before the hour for calling the
hose to order, until, at length, morning
singing has become regular institution in
the Representatives Hall for the fifteen
minutes before the speaker takes his seat.
At times the spirit Of harmony becomes
pervadng, when the singing is specially
marked by simple melody, and grave Sen
ators and members of the House in largc
numbers gather around the centre of the
Hall and join the singing Of familiar tunes,
in true congregational style, and the music
rises and floats and echoes through the hall
with fine effect
