Twelve Reasons Why no Rational
being should use Tobacco.

/. The habit is at war with TEN
perance. Tobacco is an intoxicant.
1t is part of the merchandise of
dram-shops and an incentive to
drunkenness. The topper, is rebuk-
ed by a protested teetotlar, with a
quid or a cigar in his mouth, might
pertinently respond, physician,
healthy self"
2. The habit is a self indulgence
in fragrant conflict with the self-de-
nying spirit of the Divine Founder
of Christianity. 1t numbers among
it's slaves more Than $50 millions Of
human beings. 1t hinders moral
reform, and it impedes progress.
3. The habit is essentially filthy,
cleanliness says the proverb, sis
next to godliness.' Ladies of re-
finement involuntarily shrink from
the man who chews, or snuffs, or
smok IS, unless custom has render
ed them Indifferent to those vile
practices.
4. The lips of the tobacco chewer,
or habitual smoker, are swelled and
saturated with a disgusting poison,
the gums are spongy and tender, and
the whole mouth and throat affected
by it's use.
5. The habit Of using tobacco is
inconsistent with the character of q
Christian gentleman. "St. Paul."
Bishop Hooker tells us, "was en-
phatically a gentleman" Would
he have poisoned the air with sick
ening smoke, or deluged the floor
with liquid flthiness? Never!
6. The habit Injuries the voice.
The smoker articulates huskily.
The chewer often croaks. The
snuffer speaks through his nose.
7. The habit is costly. Official
statistics show that more money was
spent for tobacco In the United
States during 1871, than for bread
the staff of life. $3.50, 000, 900 for
tobacco in it's various forms. $780,
600, 900 -four within the year!
s. 1t often lowers the self-re-
spect of those who practise it. 81
love my pipe" sale a clergyman,
shut despise my self for using it.
8. The habit disturbes regular pull
sation of the heart. Tobacco users
are thus In constant danger,
Many fall dead suddenly,
10. The habit weakens the mind.
1t enfeebles the memory, paralyzes
the will, produces morbid irritabili-
ty, diseases the imagination, dead
ems the moral sensibilites, and is
therefore an assault and battery"
on the nervous system, the intellect
and the soul.
II. The habit is a rebellion
against Conscience. Those whom.
dulgc in it know that it wastes time
money, strength and life, and tram
pies on. the laws OF nature, which
are the laws Of God, Hence it is
q sin.
II. The habit is as contagious as
the cholera. Every mature smok-
er or chewer infects dozens of
youths with a desire to follow his
pernicious example. Thus the evil
spreads.
Bondsmen of "tobacco," break
you chains. After q month Of alb
stinence you will not care for the
poison, and within q year after
your self-emancipatiop you will
loath it. 1t is Gods command that
you do yourself no willful harm.
For this reason, added to those al
ready placed before you, give up
the use of Tobacco forthwith and
for ever!

VARNIsH FOR HARNEss.-pul-
verize and put in jug or bottle
half a pound to a pound of gum
shellac, cover with alcohol and
cork tightly. Put the mixture
in a warm place. In about two
days, if shaken frequently, the
gum will be dissolved and ready
for use. If the liquid appears
to be as thick as thin molasses
add more alcohol. To one
quart Of the varnish add one
ounce of good lampblack and
an ounce ofgood camphor. An
occasional coat Of this is also
good for rendering boots water
proof.

Convenient Houses.

Many a fine house is made
a mere shell of because it is
not built with reference to the
convenience of those who are
to occupy it, We think when
a man proposes to build a dwell
ling, a woman somehow should
have a hand in it, for she alone
can tell just where she wants
this closet, or that store-room
or that room. A kitchen is bet
ter if it is built in the shape of
an L, with two doors opening
out side, so that the odors of
cooking may not pass into the
main body Of the house. Be-
side a better circulation Of air
is afforded in the heat of sum-
mer. LII makes WORK very nara
for a woman when there are
steps to go up or down between
the kitchen and dining-room.
A short hall Or lobby is not OBJ
jectionable between the two
rooms, as that can be occupied
by a chest of drawers, or two
or three shelves, which always
"come handy" in a house. The
kitchen should be provided with
two closets, sink, ciStern-pump,
and always have a painted
floor.

The new school law, enacted
by the late Legislature, con-
tains 158 sections and requires
several days for enrolment.
AS soon as its enrolment is
completed the Secretary of
State will have it printed, to
supply the large demand from
different countries for copies of
the bill. Just what the changes
in the law are, we are unable
to state.

Make q Map Of Your Farm.

System is the soul of success
Order is said to be heavens first
law, but-there can be no order with
out system, and so, surely, there
can be no long continued success
in farming, without system and Or
der. The first thing essential
to the establishment of system
on any farm, is to lay it out in
fields. Upon this operation, far
more depends than the great ma
jority of farmers have any idea.-
Aside from the looks of a farm be-
ing Spoiled by badly arranged
fields, an almost incredible increase
of labor is often entailed upon the
farmer by fences wrongly placed
We know of Emo better plan to secure
a convenient and economical lay
ing-out of a farm, than to make a
map of it, putting down every nat
ural feature in its proper place, and
then marking off the fields according
to some settled plan of rotation of
crops, and laying down the roads
so as to occupy the shortest posi-
bic route, to and from the fields.
Nothing will so much conduce to
the adoption Of a system of work
ing the farm, as a well prepared
map, when hung where the farmer
can see it every day. 1t will be
sure to set him to thinking and
planning how to best pitch his
crops, and how best to work to save
work. And once a farmer adopts
a system Of farming, he starts on
the road to success. 1t matters
not that the system is not the best
that could be devised, so long as it is
y system, is infinitely to be preferred
to the hap-hazard practice Of many
farmers. We therefore advise ev-
cry reader who owns q farm, to
make at once, or have made, a map
of it, and hang it up where he can
see it every day; aud having made
it, study it.

once rebel States are filled with able, restless
men, whose occupation closed with the rebel
lion. They hold no place to return to and have
very generally been ignored in the new oraer
of things. They are eager, watchful' anu
ready for any strenuous work. A war WIN d
foreign power will set up their fortunes. Iney
have proved themselves good fighters, ana a
battle or two for common country, would
as they well know, do more to clothe them in
power and influence than years OF peaceful
acquiescence.
All these considerations lead us to warn
our Congressman that they will need to be on
the sharp outlook for the change of battle
line by the salary men. If our forebodings
prove baseless, all the better. There will be
nothing lost at any rate by keeping strict
watch of these uneasy spirits, whose damaged
regulations require diversion ofpublic atten-
fian
