4 Pipes are determination. New, read
or, If you are anan, young or old, / can
hear you say thaw the girl is d fool,
Hike all othef q her sex; but ] tell you
I am not, a1Esshat pipes are an abomina-
ton; for tlfss Destroy health and vigor,
both mental Dip physical. You say, If I
knew how ySdSbelished your pipe, would
not blame yot; but / do. Smoking q
1pipe is not aIagreeable pastime it is a
habit acquiredto give you a manly appear
ance. Look d that youth-see bow pale
he is; his he'd is racked with pain
1 What is the euse of this? That pipe,
lying NEGLECTED. by his side, tellsIthe tale.
| He has Just hished his first shbke, and
now resolves that it shall be ! last
Will he keep Bhat resolve? No, for when
the bad effecs wear off, when he looks
around him and sees all his companions
with huge meerschaum fastened between
their teeth he tries it again, and at last
succeeds He is movable to smoke with
timpupity.
Ioupg man, can see you sumter into
q fashi0s able restaurant, partate of some
Of the mAst choice delicacies of the sea-
lson, and q gou pass out tht door draw
forth youlpipe; it is lightd, and then
you are ready to saunter off gain. Now,
you need not tell me that rou like the
taste of tobacco smoke bette than that OF
the delicacies of which you lave just par
taken, for ] know you dot. l don't
mean to say you never will; for when you
are a few years older, THE pipe will be
master, and you slave. Bat you smoke
now to look manly, thouE I would not
| give fig for manliness tht takes pipe
to assist in showing it off,
| | suppose you think I hare said enough
but | will not lay my pen aside, without
first telling you that I dislike tobacco; ]
mean this anti-nervous glowing tobacco
that gives one a dirty Complexion, dirty
teeth, hollow eyes and BID breath; that
makes one nervous, timid, and keeps one
from ever being satisfedsFith ones self
Young man, the first chew will have the
same effect on you that the first smoke
had; you will learn to chw in the salne
way you did to smoke. After you are &
professed chewer, every few steps yor
take you will eject spoonful of dirty Ii
quid from your mouth. PTis no matter t.
you where it goes, whethr on well pol
ished boot, a lady's drss, a Turkey car
pet, or the pave, SO you squirt it from
your mouth. | wonderiow much brown
liquid you prepare daily, weekly, yearly
The amount would be enough to astonisl
you. A Russian youth commences tn,
practice Of chewing arhnic at the sam,
age that you commence thewing tobacco
he may chew it for yeGs, but it will a
last wear out his whole Estem. He may
chew arsenic, you tobeco; both of yol
may live to be old meh but you will b.
weak and helpless, yours.eps will be tot
tering, your voices quirer, and all you
senses will be impaired; whereas, if 70,
had never acquired the habit, you nigh
have lived twenty yearslonger, in the full
enjoyment of health and vigor. Youn,
man, take my advice, and when you ar
old you will thank me for it.
| Never invest your loose change in pipe
and tobacco, for you oal be just as mucl
a man without as with them, aud grea
deal more a gentleman. URLA.
