The Effects of Chewing and Smoking
How to Break the Habit.

From a report of DR. Dio Lewis Lee
ture on tobacco, in the Boston Conqreqa
tt0nalj1 we take the following interesting
| statements
Tobacco, in its ordinary state-the
"plugs," " which you have in your pockets
is powerful poison, II will do what
no other poison will do | do not speak
OF the oil of tobacco l do not speak OF
nicotine, a single drop Of which, put upon
the tongue ofa cat, will kill her in twenty
seconds; three drops of which, put upon
the tongue Of a bulldog, will kill him so
quick he will hardly get out of your arms
in his struggles and ten drops of which
will kill a COW inside of ten minutes. 7
am not talking o. these Things at all, al
though hey are in tobacco. am ta'''ug
OF tobacco in the form of the or ruu8.
"plug"
Now let me suppose an experimeuJ.
call from this audience a boy ten glgrs
old, who has never used tO1lnc.
"Charles, will you help us make a
pertinent here to-night?' Yes, sir.
will give you fifty dollars if you will 90
through it like plucky man" 81 will
sir." The experiment is this: There is
a piece of tobacco, as large as a pea. Put
that in your mouth chew it don't let
one drop go down your throat spit
every drop of the Juice into that spit
toon but keep on chewing; don't stop;
Just chew steadily Before he has done
with that piece of tobacco, as large rs a
pea, simply squeezing the juice out of it,
without swallowing drop he lies here
upon the platform in cold dcath.lkc
persplratlOn; he vomi's the contents Of
his stomach; put your fingers upon his
wrist, there is no pulse; and so he seems
for two or three hours as though he were
dying, or, perchance, dead
Now, gentlemen, 90 to your drug stores,
begin with the upper shelves, and take
down every bottle, and then open every
drawer, and you cannot find a single
poison except some very rare ones, which
you never heard of which taken into the
mouth of that ten-year old boy, and not
swallowed, will produce these effects
Tobacco, then, repeat, in its ordinary
state, is an extremely powerful poison.
Look into a mans mouth who cHa,cS to-
bacco, and see how red it is. The tongue
is so red that the doctor no longer appeals
to it to determine the condition of the
mans stomach He can learn nothing of
1t by examining his patients tongue, if he
be chewer of tobacco. That congestion
which produces the redness, extends 3
little farther down than you can see, and
affects the speech. DR.. Cole and DR.
Waterhouse affirm that they are never
mistaken in undertaking to determine
whether public speaker be chewcr of
tobacco or not, so peculiar is its influence
upon the articulation. But let that pass.
Smoking Injuries the teeth it produces
decay in the teeth, 1t produced decay in
two of my upper teeth, and one under
tooth, before had any other decayed
tooth in my mouth, by holding my pipe
or cigar between them. 1t IS not remark

the widow, returning the letter with ex-

f1geted about, she relapsed into silence
and meditation. At length she raised her

at him quietly, but very tixedly, she said /:

E.. the best order; level down the
.vn aoout the root of every peach tree,
and smooth circle for diameter Of two
and-a-halt feet from the tree as centre.
Have the ground very clean around the
base of the tree. Do not leave a single
hole close to the tree. Leave no place
where the CurCuliO can hide, except under
the shelter you provide for them. Then
put clcNe to the tree, and close to the
grOundZabout four pieces to the tree
either chip, piece of bark or board, or
lath, or rag, or corn cob, or old leather, or
anything else, for covert. The CurCuliO
will conceal themselves under this shelter,
and may be destroyed by thousands. Go
around every day, turn over each chip,
and kill every curculo. They will gen
orally adhere to the chip; but may often
be found on the ground under the chip.
Mr.. William B Ransom has made the
Curculio and its habits a study for many
years. Last year, when hunting for the
little turks, he discovered that they all
dropped within two or three feet of the
trunk Of the peach tree, and sheltered
themselves on the trunk, in the holes
near the base, and the underside of the
principal limbs.
Some idea of the quantity of curculio
which will gather on a single tree may be
understood from the following facts: Mr..
Ransom says that on the 18th he took %,
on the 18th, 65, and on the 10th, 60. OF
this number, Al were taken in cluster un-
der chip, two by three inches. He gives
the following facts in regard to the habits
of the curculiO: In the fall they seek a
warm and safe shelter to hibernate. This
is either the ground, or leaves, stumps,
logs, old fences, woods, and other con-
genial places of conCealment. The first
warm day in spring that starts vegetable
life calls the curculiO forth, and it pro
ceeds to its feeding and breeding ground
They walk very fast, and then fly and feed
generally at night, eating the young and
tender leaves. They crawl on cold days
and nights, and hide under the shelter Of
the trunk ofthe tree, waiting to feed when
the nights become sufficiently warm. The
curculio uses the green peach only to hold
its egg. 1t sometimes eats the ripe peach
also blackberries, ounces and other fruits

So Robin and could whisper together

As Il glitters and trembles
And vainly dissembles

yer an opening; he inquired If there were
much society there-pleasant society
And eventually Mr.. Lobyear, the son,
who of course could not be expected
to know his fathers discovery and
communication to his lawyer, took
his cicerone into confidence. He adored
the most charming, innocent, perse-
cuted saint that ever excited the
jealousy Of q spiteful coterie. Her name
was Montacute; and she was q widow
without encumbrances. She had been
J Tesiding in quiet part OF the Isle OF
|, Wight, but was now on her way to Lon
don; and he had received q letter that
very morning directing him where to find
her; so he would not trespass on Mr.
Fiel's hospitality after that day. Where
abouts was Duke street. Jermyn street
The complacent Mr.. Fiel conducted him
to that neighborhood, and also, in reply to
further questions, gave him an outline Of
the steps 1t was necessary to take before
gentleman and lady, inclined that way,
could be Joined together in holy matri-
mony. There could be no harm done in af.
fording him such scraps of information;
the first cabman passing would have driven
him to the address, and the charming
widow probably had license and banns
formalities at her fingers ends.
"Of course, you are of ageG" he threw
in at the end.
III believe my father would say was
some months short of it," replied the
young man, carelessly "but really his ev-
idence is so little to be trusted in any mat.
ter not connected with plants or insects,
that mean to give myself the benefit of
the doubt. That's good Jaw, chi"
Mr.. Fiel proposed bachelors dinner
at his club that day, and entertained his
guest all the evening with caustic obser-
vations upon widows, and the dangers to
which young men were exposed from
beautiful sirens, whose antecedents would
not bear strict examination, illustrated with
numerous opposite anecdotes, which the
young man seemed to enjoy heartily.
But he would not apply them to his own
case; so that, at last, the lawyer was
forced to be more explicit, and with much
apology asked whether the young man
knew who the late Mr.. Montacute was,
and under what circumstances the fair
widow came to be alone and unprotected
in Calcutta. But the ardent lover would
not listen to hint rejecting upon the OBJ.
ject of his affections, and got so excited
and angry, that Mr.. Fiel dropped the sub
ject at once. Where was the use of talk
ing sense to a man who declared that if
all the world swore to anything which his
mistress denied, he should take her word
in preference to the united oath? To ex-
pose his game by showing the paternal
letter empowering him to forbid the mar
riage, would have been stupid indeed at
present; that must be kept as the very
last resource, when, seombined with con-
siderations Of probable disinheritance, it
might have an effect. What effect? the
lawyer asked himself unhinchingly, when
quiet that night. Probably that of max
ing young Lobyear dissemble for the
time, and marry his widow elsewhere, un-
known to the lawyer. And if the agent
were deceived, the br:'""' u
