The Use Of Tobacco.

duction into the system, or by the
idiosyncracies of the individual
Persons of sedentary modes of life
those who are finely organized, OF
of a highly nervous temperament
are most affected by it's use. Its
effects upon the young men are
most marked and injurious. The
commonest effects are excitement
of the nerves, sleeplessness, loss OF
flesh, and general debility. One
of the most terrible effects is upon
the heart, especially in the case OF
those who are predisposed to dis
eases of that character. So COM
mon and popular is this disease,
that it has received the name of
narcotism. The effect of excessive
smoking, upon the mouth, is to
produce cancer of the lip, which
extends to the cheek, and results
most seriously. This is observed
in men, but rarely, if ever, in wo-
men. The effect of tobacco on the
skin is unpleasant. 1t produces
blindness and deafness, by disa-
bling the optic and aural nerve.
Alcohol being an antidote to to-
bacco, those suffering from it's use
are in great danger of becoming
addicted to the use of alcoholic
liquors It causes an early whiten-
ing of the hair, and early badness,
which are common in America. It
Injuries digestion. Its bad effect
upon the mind was illustrated by
an allusion to the Ecole Politeck-
nique, in France, where it has been
observed that the students who re-
frain from the use Of tobacco are
capable Of a greater amount of in
tellectual labor than those who in
dulge in smoking. A French ply
sician states tia. in the course of
three years practice he found q
cases of the excessive use of to-
bacco that resulted in the entire
stoppage of the hearts action. In
veterate smoking produces a relax
ing effect on the muscles of the
lower limbs, and disinelination

The sole reason why smoking does
not seem to be so harmful as the
other forNsQf using the weed is

Of his waking hours. But when
man smokes other business has to
be for the most part laid aside.
Therefore the votaries of the pipe
and the cigar can indulge in their
favorite pastine only at intervals.
Every person who uses tobacco IS
constantly } introducing into their
system q portion Of deadly poison.
We might suppose that the con-
slant introduction into the system
by chewing, smoking and snufing,
ofso powerful poison, would have
a great influence in the production
and development of numerous dis
eases. That such is the fact we
have the testimony of physicians
of the highest eminence in their
profession, both in this country
and in Europe, and also the re-
corded experience and observation
of other men of note in every part
of the civilized world.

IMPROVEMENTS.

In the Southern States, the theory which
has been faithfully put into practice, and
which continues still to be practiced, is "Cut
down the forest, wear cut the soil and then
get up and 60 to new country" This prac-
tice has efectually prevented everything like
general and permanent improvement. Houses,
fences, and structures of all kinds, have been
made on the cheapest possible scale. The
result has been to present the South in for
bidding aspect. Land has increased slowly
in value One difference which exists between
the South and the North, consists in the dlt-
ferent notions which the inhabitants of the
different sections have, concerning improve
ments. In the North, houses are constructed
so as to be permanent dwellings for the own
ers; fences are, frequently, constructed of
stone. In the South, farm-houses are too
often constructed with an expectation of being
left desolate in a few years, and fences are
nothing more than temporary enclosures. In
the one case, improvements mean an actual
value added to the soil in the other, it de-
notes nothing but temporary convenience.
The former increases the value of the soil, the
latter does not.
A we'll constructed house, together with
properly improved premises, add much to the
intellectual and moral development of the in
habitants. There is a vast difference between
o.oorfortahle house and q fine and costly 0ne
Every man is not able to own fine house,
but most men, with proper economy, may be-
come the owner of a comfortable house.
Every man cannot afford flower garden, but
any industrious man may afford small Or
chard of we'll selected fruit. "A few improve
ments made each year will soon amount to a
great deal. \ peach-tree planted out at the
present time, will, if it is taken care of, bear
fruit in three years. 1t will require some
watching, but very little actual expense.

BOOK FARMING.

Amongst, perhaps, the majority Of farmers
in our country, the phrase book farming is
term of reproach which is thrown at those
who pretend to read and write about agricul
ture. 1t is true that many very foolish things
have been written about farming-many
which were merely imaginary theories, and
could not be reduced to practice. 1t is very
foolish to condemn the whole, because few
have erred. 1t has never happened in any
department of life, that no one has committed
blunders. Foolish articles have been written
on mathematics, on history, on theology.
There is no art or science but some scribbler
has written foolish and impracticable things
concerning it. 1t would be ridiculous to con-
denim all books on theology, because some
theological books are full of extravagant va
garies. A good agricultural journal, conduct.
ed by man of experience, and assisted by
practical farmers in his work, is, at the pre-
sent, an absolute necessity in every family
which is devoted to agriculture. The farmer
who would keep up with the age, must read
and think, as well as work.
Men often, unconsciously, condemn their
benefactors. Farmers are as guilty of this
sin as men engaged in the other avocations of
life. 1t is but very little knowledge that our
farmers possess, which they did not, either di-
rectly or indirectly, receive from books. Orig
inality in farming is about as rare thing as
originality in literature. No man is born a
farmer any more than he is blacksmith or
a house-carpenter. He must be taught to
farm successfully as we'll as be taught to build
a house. The great teachers Of the day are
journals devoted to the various branches of
art and science.

SAD.

SAD.
If the Bible did not, in express words, tell
US that this is world of sin and sorrow, we
probably would be able to discover that the
latter is the case. Bitter groans and agonl-
zing sighs are heard in every quarter of the
globe, where human being resides. Many
are the sad sights which our eyes are COM
PEELED to behold, during our short stay in this
world. 1t is sad to see fond parents standing
over the grave, freshly opened, to receive in
its cold embrace the remains of their offspring.
1t makes the heart of every bystander feel
sad when the first sod falls upon the coffin.
1t is sad to see young man just entering
upon life's threshold sicken and die. How
many fond hopes and cherished expectations
die with him! 1t is still sadder to see young
man, whose face beams with intellect, and
whose generous heart throws mantle OF
smiles over his whole person, rushing, under
the influence of misguided impulses, to the
dark and forbidding chambers of infamy and
shame. Over such a spectacle humanity
weeps. Death is better than disgrace, and
the chambers of infamy are darker and colder
than the grave Sad as such picture may
be, there is one that is more gloomy. 1t is
an old man on the borders of another world
without an interest in the atoning blood Of
Jesus Christ He is literally worn out.
Heart and flesh are fainting and failing.
Time has made deep burrows in his cheeks.
1t has blunted all his senses. He is blind
and deaf His gait is tottering, and his food
has lost its power to crafty. Notwithstand-
ing all these premonitory signs of speedy
dissolution, his mind is centred on something
else than the destiny of his undying spirit.
Soon death will come and send his frail body
into the grave, and his spirit before the bar
of God. Then carelessness and indifference
will cease forever. Over such sight angels
weep. What can be more sad than to witness
the departure of an old gray-headed man,
without we'll founded hope in Saviour's
blood?

The Two RoADs.-There is place where
two roads meet One is broad and smooth,
and leads gently down hill. At first it looks
pleasant, and has trees to shade it and flowers
in the hedgerows, but by degrees the trees
become fewer, the flowers disappear, the road
goes down sleeper and sleeper, so that you
find it harder and harder to turn back; and
at last, if you 60 on, it becomes a straight,
crumbling cliff, and you find out too late that
the road leads nowhere but to destruction,
and you slip or fall forward and are dashed
into the sea below
The other road is so narrow that there is
hardly room for two to 60 together, and 1t is
rough at first and steep up hill !; and tor a
long way you find few flowers in it; but il
you will only walk on steadily bit, you vii!
find it becomes less steep and rough, and
there are flowers in plenty, and at the tor. OF
the hill you will see a beautiful house, with
your Father in it waiting to welcome you.
The broad road is the road of Selhshness
the narrow road is the road of Goodness. AT
first it seems easy and pleasant to be selfish
and hard and painful to be good. But self
ishness leads to ruin in the end, while good
ness leads US up to our Father in heaven.
