Smoking.

Some distinguished author has said
manners make the man" Of course this
remark must include a great deal, address,
affability, department a., elements Of
character that should never be forgotten
by q gentleman in any situation when
brought in contact with others. 81
The intolerable habit of smoking tobac-
CO seems to be 80 much a part and parcel
of the very existence of some men, that if
you tolerate them in parlor, public room
for women and men, or in the ladies cal"
you must abide their offensive smoke from
a sinking old tobacco pipe, or a more mild
cigar. Such people seem to forget that
others have any rights IN this respect that
they are bound, as persons OF good breed
ing, to regard. A short time since, on our
way home on the train a well dressed man
got aboard in the ladies' car, with q cigar
in mis- mouth, and continued to emit anoc-
c~asional puff. till finally, after some time,
the cOlored man belonging to the train ad-
| monished him of the rule. From the
sneaking way he smoked, it was evident he
knew he was acting improperly.
Just the other evening we stepped into
a news room.up town, a place with numer-
GUS patrons of both sexes, constantly call
ing for papers, magazines &C., and there
were three or four young gentlemen around
the stove each with q cigar or pipe in his
mouth. We call them gentlemen knowing
| they claim and wish to be considered such.
They were there as visitors not as mers
hasty callers en- business. They seemed to
Be located for the evening or q good part
of it. While they were busy converting
their nasty tobacco into smoke and infect
ing the pure God given air with those ex-
halations, ladies and others were calling
for their serial reading matter and indeed
an attendant in the room Is a young lady,
It Is probable persistence in this bad habit
makes them forget those properties that
should ever be observed. We consider
that they were intruding and infringing
upon the rights of others.
A few years ago q committee of gentle
men from Canton waited upon a high rail
way official in a distant city. On entering
the private Office Of the said official he wa
not in and some Of the committee went OF
with their smoking. They succeeded il
getting the room well filled when the Off
cial gentleman entered. With considera
BILE Indignation he demanded to know Wit
had the inpertinence to enter his pr1vatl
Office and I'll it with tobacco smoke. h
quickly raised the windows to let in fresl
air, and as We were informed there was n
more smoking on thai occasion, i'm that OF
fee; and we doubt not it wa a good lessol
to those who needed it.
AS the frogs said to the boys when th
latter were stoning them, though it j
short to you 1t is death to u" so persons
who do not use the vile weed, may say
Though it Is sport to you, Mr.. Smoker, iii
very offensive and injurious TO Us.
Let all remember that good habits an
practices make the good and sensible mar
and evil practices the contrary. Purity
conduct indicates purity Of mind and tend
q to health and happiness. do no evil this
good may come" for it viii net come. 3

drugged cigar is given to the victim, who,
after smoking it a while, becomes stupid
and falls asleep. He Is then robbed. and
