Greeley on Smoking.

Horace Greeley is accustomed to sum
up his opinion on this branch Of the sub.
ject by saying: when man begins to
smoke, he Immediately becomes hog"
He probably uses the word "hog in
two senses: namely hog, an unclean
creature; and hog, creature devoid Of
correct sense Of what is due to other
creatures. GO into public gather
ing" he has written, where speaker Of
delicate lungs, with an invincible repul-
sion of tobacco, is trying to discuss some
important topic so that thousand men
can hear and understand him, yet where
into ten or twenty smokers have intro
duced themselves, a long line projecting
horizontally from beneath the nose of
each, a fire at one end and fool at the
other, and mark how the puff, putting
gradually transforms the atmosphere
(none to pure at bes) into that of some
foul and pestilential cavern, choking the
utterance of the speaker, and distracting
(by annoyance) the attention of the
hearer, until the argument is arrested or
its effect utterly destroyed
If these men, he adds, are not black.
guards, who are blackguards He n1iti-
gates the severity of this conclusion,
however, by telling an anecdete: Breth-
ren," said Parson Strong of Hartford,
preaching Connecticut election sermon,
in high party times, some fifty years ago.
ait has been charged that i have said
every Democrat is horse-thief !; Inever-
did. What l did say was only that every
horse-thief is democrat and that / can
prove" Mr.. Greeley challenges the uni
verse to produce a genuine blackguard
who is not lover of the weed in some
of its forms, and pronises.-to reward the
finder with. the gift of two white black
birds. o
Mr.. Greeley exaggerates Some of the
best gentlemen alive smoke. and some Of
the dirtiest blackguards do not; but
most intelligent smokers are conscious
that the practice, besides being IN itself
unelean, dnlls the smokers sense Of
cleanliness, and what is still worse, dulls
his sense Of what il due to others, and
especially to what is due to the presence
of ladies.-AfLantic Monthly for February.

"No, Elizabeth, I came here as your
servant, as such you have treated me,
and as such l will leave.
And she left the room. Not the pray
ers of her sister, nor the entreaties of her
brother-in-law, could change her resolve.
1t was terrible lesson to Mrs. Smith.

appreciated her, and she is now mistress

With the exception of names this

ors need not blush at the recital, for this
is one of the many that are stranger than

But the colonel was totally deserted by
his men. The vermonters seized his
horse by the bride, and made desper-
ate attempt to take him prisoner. The
fight at this point was terrific beyond de-
scription. The men fought hand to hand.
Colonel Seaver, the Archilles of the day,
dashed through the combatants, seized
Colonel Morrison by the shoulder, and
called upon him to surrender. But his
demand was choked by theincessant pat
ter Of snow-balls on his physog."
Around the rival chieftans the men strug.
gled fearfully; there was the auburn
haired Hodge, alias Wild Dutchman,"
fighting manfully. There was the fierce
Teuton, captain Of company E, dropping
the foe right and left at every swing Of
his arms; but all in vain. Amid the
wild excitement consequent upon the
shouting the rearing and plunging of
horses, the colonel was drawn from his
saddle and taken by the enemy. Most
Of his "staff followed him as prisoners.
A desperate attempt was made to rescue
him, but it proved of no avail. Major
Morris Jared no better. Adjutant White
however, made bold attempt to retrieve
the fortunes Of the day. Dashing into
the dense ranks Of the foe, he seized the
bride of Colonel Stoughton's Bucepha-
lus, and gallantly attempted the impos-
sibility Of capturing the colonel, who was
brigadier of the attacking party. But
the adjutant had caught Tartar" for
the Vermonters rushed around him like
the waves beating upon some lone rock
in the ocean and yainly elamoring for
his surrender. He fought like an Ajax
mounted on a "Black Bess," retaining
his position in the saddle by resting his
knee against the pommel. This was at
last observed by shrewd Yankee, who
dexterously slipped between the two
horses, detached the supporting knee,
and the adjutant fell from his position
like tornado stricken oak. The fall
disheartened the twenty-sixth, and only
detached parties of dozen, scattered
over the field, persisted in an obstinate
resistance. The sergeant received
shot in the back of the head, and was
borne to the rear a captive, and then
