SMOKING sPIRITUALIZED.

The following unique and beautiful Meditation
moking Tobacco" was written two hundred years
y the Rev. Ralph Erskine of Scotland. 1t is like 6
vine, it improves with age:
This Indian weed now withered quite,
Tho green at noon, cut down at nlght,
Shows thy decay;
All flesh is hay
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
The pipe so lily-lke and weak,
Does thus thy mortal frame bespeak,
Thou art even such,
Gone with a touch
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
And when the smoke ascends on high,
Then thou behold'st the vanity
Of worldly stuff,
Gone with puff
Thus think and smoke tobacco,
And see'st the ashes cast away,
Then to myself thou mayest say,
That to the dust
Return thou must
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
And when the pipe grows foul within,
Think OH thy soul detled with sin,
For then the fire,
1t doth require
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
b And see'st the ashes cast away.
Then to myself thou mayest say,
That 10 the dust
Return thou must
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
PART 2.
Was this small plant for thee cut down.
So was the plant of green repown.
Which mercy sends
For nobler ends
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
Doth juice medicinal proceed
From such naughty, foreign weeds
Then what's the power
Of Jesses flower
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
In vain the unlighted pipe You blow;
Your pains in outward means are SO.
Till heavenly fire
The heart inspire
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
The promise like the pipe, inlays,
And by the mouth of faith conveys
What virtue flows
From Sharon's rose
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
The smoke, like burning insence towrs
30 should a praying heart of yours,
With ardent cries
Surmount the skies
Thus think-not smoke tobacco.

PRENTECEANA.

We are greatly Influenced by the condition
OF the weather When it has been raining
for week, men feel as if they were under
spell-of weather.
Take your cat upon sea-voyage, if you
want sea-mews around you.
Putting ring in pig nose is striking at
the root of the thing.
When Adam was the only man upon his
mother earth, he was disrespectful enough
to give his mother dig every day
Those who are most anxious to learn our
affairs are generally the persons from whom
we should be most anxious to conceal them
Look well to your daughters; sparks fall
ing upon your house are often less dangerous
than those coming into it.
Lovers generally woo their sweethearts in
wretched verse, and this is probably the
reason why so many of them are properly
Tilted.
Put your money into box if you like, but
not into dice-box.
The mischievous winking of beautiful
coquette from under sweet hood is o very
pleasant kind of hood-winking.
Many persons approve no books but such
as are representations Of their own opinions
and passions; they read not to have nature
reflected on them and so be taught to know
and love everything but to be reflected them
selves as in pocket-mirror, and to exchange
admiring looks with their own narrow cast
Of countenance.
Many persons have their best society in
their own hearts and souls-the purest mem
cries of earth and the sweetest hopes of
heaven; their loneliness cannot be called
solitude.
Some people are never abreast Of the age.
| They dive into the stream of the past and
don't come up again-their heads stick in
the mud at the bottom.
A compass is saidto have thirty-t points
The compass Of some mems minds has no
points at all.
Those who have their mouths oftenest open
have their minds oftenest shut.
EDWARD EVERETT PREcocrTY.-All school
boys and girls, and all who ever were such,
are familiar with the lines beginning:
'You'd scarce expect one Of my age,
To sreak in public on the stage"
But all may not know the fact, which we
have on good authority, that they were
written by Edward Everett; when be was
only seven years old Thus early did his
intellectual Developments indicate his fu-
ture greatness He commenced his public
career in the capacity of preacher, and
was settled as pastor of the Brattle street
/ church in Boston at the age Of ~.
