Why I Quit Smoking.

1t is two years since I left off
tobacco. I certainly did enjoy
my cigar. I prided myself on my
fine Havanas, and might have
been seen almost any morning
with one in my mouth, walking
down to business and putting away
in a most comfortable manner.
Why l left it off was this: l
had little son about six years >:
age. He almost always hurried
to be ready to walk with me as
far as his school. His bright face
and extended hand were always
welcome, and he bounded along
beside me, chatting as only such
dear little fellows can.
The city has in it many uncared
for boys, whose chief delight
seems to be to pick up pieces Of
discarded cigars and broken pipes,
and with their hands in their
pockets, to puff away in a very
lnelegant manner.
One morning it seemed as if
little Edgar and I met a great
many Of these juvenile smokers.
[ became very much disguised,
and pointing them out to little
Edgar as sad warnings of youth
full delinquency, talked quite large
II, and said the authorities ought
to interfere and put a stop to such
a public nuisance.
A little voice, soft and musical,
came up to me as I gave an extra
puff at my superb Havana. A
bright little face was upturned,
and the words, "Isn't it worse for
a man, father ?" came to my ears.
I looked down on the little fel-
low at my side, when his timid
eye fell, and the color mounted
on his boyish cheek, as if be feared
he had said something bold and
uniting.
"Do you think it worse for a
man, Edgar?" I asked.
"Please, father, I think boys
would not want to smoke if men
did not do it,
Here was the answer. I threw
away my: cigar, and have never
touched tobacco since, in any
form. And, having found that l
am so much better without it, I
never shall.

Gems Of Thought.

1t takes all our learning to be
simple.
He thai is desperately inclined
to his own will, is ever most near
to the wealth Of God.
When We suspect ourselves 20
be most miserable, then is the
grace Of God most favorable.
Never expect to 60 to the
throne Of grace without having
some stumbling block thrown in
your way; Satan hates prayer
and always tries to hinder it.
Truth is the ground of science,
the scale to charity, the type of
eternity, and the fountain of grace.
Faith and the cross are insepa-
rable; the cross is the shrine of
faith, and faith is the light of the
cross.
Punishment is the record of
crime; and the strength of the
back-strokes in proportion to the
original blow.
How terrible to die unprepared.
Yet, every tick of the clock, and
one soul somewhere is launched
into eternity.
Sense shines with double ius-
tre when it is set in humility. An
able yet humble man is a Jewel
worth a kingdom.
Base all your actions upon a
principle of right; preserve your
integrity of character, and in
doing this never reckon the cost.
No man or woman that has real
saving religion is afraid to have
it known. If they are, it is q
positive sign they do not possess
Every sin against God, the Su-
preme Sovereign, is capital Of
fence, and consequently the life of
every sinner is forfeited to the d.
vine justice.
l have seen the Christian die,
and also the sinner. Let my
prayer be, 'Ict me die the death
Of the righteous, and let my last
end be like his"
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1872-08-28

A few days since one of our pop
ular attorneys called upon another
member of the profession, and
asked his opinion upon GER
tain point Of law. The lawyer
to whom the question was address
ed, drew himself up and said, Il
generally get paid for telling what
| know" The Questioner drew a
half dollar fractional" from his
pocket, handed it to the other, and
coolly remarked: "Tell me all
you know and give me change .
There is GOODNESS between the par
ties now.

A western traveller came up to
a log cabin and asked for & drink,
which was supplied by a good
looking woman. As she was the
first woman he had seen in seve-
raj days he offered her dime for
a kiss. 1t was duly taken and
paid for, and the young hostess,
who had never seen a dime before,

should do with it. He replied,

In doing good to our fellow
creatures, it is from Heaven alone
that we must seek recompense !!
To labor in the service Of mankind
with either gratitude or applause
in view, is merely courting the
triumphs of vanity, and benevo-
lence of this kind must necessarily
die, at the first disappointment it
meets.

sTATE seNAfE.

David McClay, the Republican can
didatc for State Senator from this Dis
trict, which is composed of Clarion,
Armstrong, Jefferson and Forest
David is elected. As a natural conse-
quence, Brown is defeated. And "a
madder man you never saw" We
wish we had thousand extras of the
last issue of the Democrat, so we could
send one out to each of our subscribers,
that they might see and appreciate
the sublime wrath of Brown. His pa
per (Which we suppose now "is not an
orgau,") is just frothing like thous.
and bottles of "pop" with the corks
out. Brown blames it all on Cameron
and Theo. Wilson, and makes some
very unbcautiful remarks about both
of these gentlemen. We don't suppose
either of them will ever be able to
hold up his head again among the
honest voters of this Senatorial dis
trict. And why? Because McClay,
didn't promise to smash the naviga-
ton company,nor to get an appropria.
tion for the Carrier Seminary, was
elected over Brown, who did promise
these things and, we have reason to
believe, score Of other things which
he could not do. One thing, however,
looks bad for Brown, viz: The Demo.
Gratis in Clarion county did not give
their usual majority on the ticket la
belled State Senate. So popular n
man as Mr.. Brown was (according to
the Clarion DemocraD should at least
have carried the Democratic vote of
his county, and we are surprised that
the Domcratic candidate, with his pa.
per filled with his praises for weeks
past, the immense circulation it has,
and the profound influence it excrts,
all working together, could not sorape
up larger Democratic majority for
State Senator. Mr.. Brown explains
it, all over the second page Of the
Democrat. We have only space for
one extract, which is a sample of the
whole:
Radicals made an extraordinary ef-
fort to elect McClay, and secure vote
for Cameron. All old Simons tactics
were resorted to. Money, whisky, ly.
ing, forgery, cheating, colonization
and bold bribery were the order of the
day everywhere, and weak men went
down like grain before the storm.
Scores of cases have already been re-
ported to us where money was openly
offered for votes. The managers OF
the navigation company worked un-
ceasingly to deceive the lumbermen,
and the officers of certain railroads
came down to the work with will that
showed the interest they felt in IcClay.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have trUthfully answered before
he starts on his journey, and a little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &C. B. & @. RR.," running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Bur-
lington, and the 81. B. & w. Route, 4"
running from indianapolis, through
Bloomington to Burlington, have
achieved a splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. At Burling-
ton they connect with the B. & NJ. r.
Il. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
mia aud the Territories and paSsen-
gers starting from Tonesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.

About the "thinest" excuse we see
for the defeat of Buckaew, is that the
Radicals" imported 10000 negroes
from Maryland into Pennsylvania or
election dny, all Of whom voted for
Hartranft and the Republican State
ticket. John w. Forney, who has
been more bitter in his opposition to
Hartranft than any Democratic paper
in the State, and who undoubtedly
would be the fist to cry fraud" if
there were any indications, says that
Hartranft was elected by fair vote
of the people of Pennsylvania, but,
attributes it to the influence exerted
by the coming Presidential election.
We think this much more sensible than
crying fraud, corruption, money, col
onization," &c. 1t is our opinion that
the Democracy was never injured
much in that particular direction, as
they can poll more votes with fewer
voters than any party thet ever had
an existence Wait until the Presiden-
tial election, and if there are enough
negroes to go around, we will import
about 10000 for this State.
