One long summer afternoon there
came to Mr.. Davidson's the most GU
rious specimen of an old bachelor the
world ever heard of. He was old,
gray, wrinkled and odd. He and
Aunt Patty had it hot whenever
chance threw them together; yet still
he came, and it was noticed that Aunt
Patty took unusual pains with her
dress whenever he was expected.
One day the cotest waged unusually
strong, and Aunt Patty lett in disgust
and went out into the garden.

self, as she stopped to gather flower
which attracted her attention.

gruff voice behind her.

yes or no; I'm in hurry"

age. Good bye
"Jabez Andrews, don't be a fool
Come back, l say. Why, l believe
the critter has taken me for earnest
Jabez Andrews, I'll consider"
Il don't want any considering; I'm
going: Becky Hastings is waiting for
me. l thought I'd give you the first
chance, Patty. All right; good bye

Is it not parental duty to dissuade
children from the use Of tobacco by
precept and example? We take the
following from the London Lancet:
What Injuries or enieebles the blood
must, as matter of course affect the
health and activity of the brain. II,
then, we ascertain the physiological
effect of tobacco upon the life fluid,
We shall be in fair way Of deciding
the question, especially if we find in
dividual cases confirming the views
thus arrived at. There is nothing
stronger in medical evidence than the
agreement of physiology and patholo-
gy. DIR. Richardson has SO clearly
explained the influence Of smoking
upon the blood, that it will be best to
quote his graphic account. His scien-
titic eminence entities his evidence to
respect, and lovers of the weed must
recollect that it is smoker to whom
they are listening: "On the blood the
continued inhalation Of tobacco pro-
duces changes which are very marked
in character. The fluid is thinner
than is natural, and in extreme cases
paler. In such instances the deficient
color of the blood is communicated to
the body altogether, rendering its ex-
ternal surface yellowish. white and
puffy. The blood being thin, also cx-
udes freely, and cut surface bleeds
for long time, and may continue to
bleed inconyeniently, even in opposi-
tion to remedies. But the important
change is cxerted ON those little bod
les which float in myriads in the
blood, and are known as the red
| globules. These globules have natur-
| ally a double concave surface, and at
their edges perfectly smooth outline.
They are very soluble in alkalies, and
are subject to change of shape and
character when the quality of the
fluid in which they Aoat is modified
in respect to density. The absorp-
tion, therefore, of the fumes Of tobac.
CO necessarily leads to rapid changes
in them; they lose their round shapes,
they become oval and irregular at
their edges, and instead of having a
mutual attraction for each other and
running together, a good sign of phys
ical health, they lie loosely scattered
before the eye, and indicate to the
learned observer as clearly as though
they spoke to him and said the words,
that the man from whom they were
taken is physically depressed and de-
plorably deficient both in muscular
and mental power Tobacco modi-
fees the circulation in the brain, as in
other portions of the body. Hence it
would be remarkable indeed if it did
not exercise some influence upon the
mechanism Of thought.
