Bad Habits. lealeiH.

1t 10 entirely natural for people to form
habits; 90 that If bad habits be avoided, the
good ones will generally take care of them
selves. Ifthere is anything that demon
strates total dspravity, II is the readiness with
which ysung men imbibs bad habits. have
seen original sin in the shape ofa "short.six"
sticking out of the mouth Of a lad Of ten
years. II 10 strange what particular pains
boys and young men will take to learn to do
that which will make them miserable, rem
der them disgusting to their friends, and
damage their regulations. Some of the fash
ionable bad habits of the day are connected
with the use of tobacco. Here is weed that
young man is obliged to become accus-
toned to before he can tolerate either the
taste or the effect oft. 1t Is rank poison,
and administered to the unaccustomed ami
NAL, produces vertigo, faintness and horrible
sickness. But young men persevere in the
use until they loveit They 60 about the
streets with cigars in their mouths, or, in
society, with breath sufficiently offensive to
drive unperverted nostrils from before them.
They spit their saliva upon the sidewalkS
in spittoons, which become At once pools Of
Hlth; in railroad cars, to stain the white skirts
Of unsuspecting women; in lecture rooms
and churches; upon fences, and on stoves,
that hiss with anger at the insult; and the
quids, after they are elected, may be found
in corners, in way places, great boulders, tor
horses to stumble over, dogs to bark at; to
poison young shade trees and break down
the constitutions Of sweepers. This may be
an exasgeration of the facts, but not the dis
gust with which we write of them.
Now, young men think ofthis thing You
were born with sweet breath, and at q pro-
per age you acquired set of teeth: Why
will you make Of one putrescent exhalation,
and of the other a set Of yellow pegs? A
proper description of the habit of chewing
tobacco would exhaust the filthy adjectives.
1t is very singular that young men will adopt
the habit which invariably produces shame
in:the elminds ofthose who acquire it. There is
probably no tobacco chewer in the world
who would advise young men to commence
chewing the weed.
l have never seen slave to tobacco, but
that he did not regret this bondage; yet
against nausea and disgust, against cleanncss
against every consideration of health and
comfort, thousands each year bow their
neoks to this weed and continue to wear its
repulsive yoke. They will chew it, they will
smoke it in pipes and in the form Of cigars,
until their breath is as rank as foul beast,
and their clothes have an odor of a sewer.
Some Of them cram the weed up their nos
tris to irritate that subtle sense, the rarest
flowers were made to feed; in all, working
against God, abusing nature, injuriug health
planting the seeds of disease, insulting de-
cencies Of life, and the noses of the world.

captured one live wolf; and that there were
two more dead ones, which had died from the
effects of poison he had placed for their ben
eft: With the assistance Of Mr.. Baker, he
succeeded in claiming and muzzling the live
wolf, which he intends to keep for the pur
pose Of drawing the attention Of others, SO he
can kill them with strichninc
He says II was no small task to muzzle the
creature, as she fought desperately; but they
at last accomplished The task and carried
her off in triumph to the residence of Mr.. B.
Sunday morniag Mr.. Andrews found an
other wolf dead from the effects of his poi
son, making in all, three dead and one live
one. AS there Is bounty ofss paid by the
authorities for each wolf destroyed, we think
Mr.. A has dono pretty nice little job, and
will soon become, if he is not already the
champion "wolf slayer" of Lake county.
