ing food, to wear no corsets, to exercise

People who are fat, can easily be re-

THERE is nothing that clings so peril
naciously to an individual as habits &C
quired in early youth. The boy who
lounges away his evenings on the corner,
in the lager beer saloon, or in idle and un-
profitable conversation, is laying up for
himself . store Of misery which will
plague him the rest of his life, and the
youth who, at eighteen, makes the humili-
ating confession that he is already so COM
pletely the slave of tobacco or ardent spir-
its, that he cannot give them up, is to be
regarded with pity. Good habits acquired
in early life are just as lasting as bad ones.
The young man who spends his evenings
at home, in pleasant and profitable study,
or in the company of those from whose as
sociations he will learn only that which
is good and ennobling, must have de-
PRAYED heart and taste If he does not be-
come a good and useful man. Such
thoughts as these should be pondered we'll
by the young men of the present genera
ton, so many of whom are wasting pre-
cious moments and hours In worse than
protitless pursuits.

A Snuif-Taker Poisoned.

An English gentleman lately went home
from India for medical advice. He had
been gradually losing the use Of his upper
extremities, and his physicians attributed
it to his use of snuff But the snuff was
the best Of brown rappee, imported from a
popular Londcn tobacconist, and the pa
tient, therefore, doubted the correctness OF
his India medical attendants opinion, and
sought other advice.
His London physician suspected that II
was the effect of some poisonous agent
mixed with the tobacco; and finding that
the snuff was exported in leaden cases, to
keep it moist, he took measures to ascer-
tain whether the lead was not the mis-
chievous agent in the case. ,..lr-s.-.
Six separate parcels were ordered from
India, and samples from each carefully ex
amined; when it was discovered that lead
was intimately combined with every par
eel of the snuff, and that where the moist
snuff adhered to the sides Of the leaden
lars, spots Of carbonate Of lead were formed
as was conjectured, by the carbonic acid
gas liberated by the fermentation of the
moist snuff in the jar.
The inference Is very obvious, that il
snuff can be thus poisoned by leaden jars
any other article Of consumption which 10
at all moist, or liable to become 80, may be
in like manner poisoned; and that the use
of leaden jars or boxes, for such purposes,
should be entirely abandoned.

Noon came and with it came my grand
father and four hungry laborers. My
grandmother stood in the kitchen spinning
on her great wheel and singing a pleasant
little ditty; louisa was securing in the
back room, and the cat sat purring on the
hearth before black and fireless chimney,
while the table sat in the middle of the

And on the door step, to, be sure, sat the
great iron pot nicely covered, but not
looking particularly steamy. My grand
father raised the cover and there lay all
the ingredients Of nice, boiled dinner
everything prepared In the incest manner,
and the pot filled with the clearest Of
water and all the vegetables as raw as they
had ever been. My grandfather stared
and my grandmother Joined another roll

another verse Of her song. TUE

"Come, boys, we may as we'll start for
the woods. We shall have no dinner till
we have earned it, perceive"
Won't you have some bread and cheese
before you go?" asked my grandmother,
generous in her victory, as women almost
always are And so she won the day.
The cellar stairs in the old farm house
had become broken and so unsafe that my
grandmother besieged her husband, early
and late, to repair them, lest some accident
should happen. He always promised to
do so, and always forgot to fulfill his
promises. At last, one day, my grand.
mother fell in going down, and spilled the
milk she was carrying.
''Are you hurt - asked my grandfather
smoking his pipe beside the fire.

was as good as her word. The next even

" What in thunder!'' exclaimed he
nothing worse, assure you, for he was

"Is itg" replied my grandmother, tran

Failing SO far What do you mean -
"Why, you know / said shouldn't carry
the milk over those broken stairs again,

into them"
The cellar stairs were mended next day.

OFTEN, in writing, simple word is re-

writer is not sure The dictionary may be

An easy mode is to write the word on a

ways Of which you are In doubt. Nine

right. Spelling, particularly English
spelling, Is 30 completely work Of the
