MISCELLANEOUS READING.
fCOHAUSICATED

iCoANUNIcATED.
sMoKING-A FEW SIMPLE OBJECTIONS.
'The mother of large family gives the
following simple reasons against the prac-
tice:
|. Because it tinjures the curtains.
= Because it is injurious to the furniture
generally.
). Because It'll not agreeable to breakfast
| in the room where the gentlemeR have been
smoking
i. Because no mans temper is the better
for-it the next morning.
S. Because it keeps persons up to late
hours, when every respectable person ought
to be in bed.
6. Because the smell hauntS mans
clothes, and his beard, and his hair, and his
whiskers, and his whole body, for days after
ward--so much so that it is positively un-
comfortable sometimes to 60 near him.
l. Because it is selfish qualification,
that not only Injuries those who partake of it,
but has the further effect of driving the Ia
dies out Of the room.
s. Because it is also an expensive habit
which the ladies, not participating in its So
called enjoyments, cannot possibly have the
smallest sympathy with or appreciation for.
9. Because it has the further effect of max
ing gentlemen drink great deal more than
they otherwise would.
10. Because it gives extra trouble to the
servants, who have to clean and to ventilate
the room the next morning
IL. Because how are ones daughters to
get married, if the gentlemen are always
locked up in a separate room, paying court
to their filthy pipes and cigars.
II. Because it units young man. who is
welded to it, for the refining influence of fe-
male society.
Is. Because ii puts a stop to music, sing
ing, flirting, and all rational enjoyments.
IA. Because it is a custom originally i'm
ported from the savages.
Is. Because we see the nations that smoke
the most are mostly the stupidest, heaviest,
LATEST, dreariest, dreamiest and most sense
less.
lG. Because Il man says he is going ont
to smoke cigar, there is no knowing what
mischief he is bent upon, or the harm the
monster is likely to get into.
II. Because it is not allowed in the Pal
ace or Windsor Castle, or in any respectable
establishment.
Is. Because the majority of husbands only
do it because they know it is offensive &c
their wives.
And thousand other good reasons, if one
only had the patience to enunerate them
MI. Pray, did Adam smoke!
