OF How man won his wager and
then threw up his bet Dan De guile re-
lates as follows:
Last Sunday Comstocher undertook
to eat four dozen eggs on bet of S25.
He broke all Of the eggs into large
punch-bowl, filled up the bowl with pert
wine, stirred all up together and then
drank off the mixture. He won the coin
and for time appeared happy. Pres
entity, however, he was observed to grow
slightly pale about the sills. He said he
guessed he would go home. He was
seen to meander as he passed along the
high sidewalk on South c street. Final
ly he made tack across the walk and
brought up against the railing. There
the man stopped, but the port wine and
eggs kept right on.

NV 4GLE. june -.
Perhaps the largest congregation ever
seen in ISymo,:h Church attended this
morning. the announcement having been
made that Beecher would preach his last
sermon previous to his summer vacation.
After the regular Introductory service
Beecher read TIE fifty-fourth chapter OF
Isaiah. taking as the text of lis sermon
the fifth verse thereof. Throughout the
discourse great attention was paid, and
the regular attendants were well pleased.
and the crowd of curious heard good
sermon. but looked somewhat disap-
pointed that there was no reference made
lv Beecher to the letter Of TIlton.
When the services were over the mem
hers Of the church and number Of
strangers crowded up to the platform,
wlereupon Becker stood and a general
LandsLaking. which continued for some
time, took place. Beecher looked his
p!easantest and evidently the thunder
bolt Of Hilton had not struck him.
When he had shaken the hands Of all
who got within reach and had listened
to the kind expressions OF more distant,
BeecheT left the church.

Tobacco,

What distinguished physicians and men
Of science say about it.
tWhat is tobacco? 1t is says the
Encyclopedia Americana, a nauseous and
poisonous weed, Of an acrid taste and dis
agreeable OdOr, IN short, whose only prop
critics are deleterIous.' DR.. Bigelow in
bis American Medical Botany, SAYS, In
its external and sensible properties there
is no plant which has less to recommend
it than the common tobacco A small
quantity taken into the stomach excites
violent vomiting, attended with other
alarming symptoms.'
''Ihe smoker cannot escape the poison
OF tobacco; it gets into his blood, travels
the whole round of the system, interferes
with the hearts action and the general
circulation, and affects every organ and
fibre OF the frame" DIR. Mashall Hall.
Smoking tobacco weakness the ner-
Tous powers, tavors dreamy, magma
tive, and imbecile state OF mind, produc-
es Incidence and incapacity for manly or
continuous exertion. and sinks its votary
into state of maudlin inactivity and self
ish enjoyment Of his vice" TDr. James
Copeland
THE alarming frequency of apoplexy.
palsy, epilepsy, and other diseases of the
nervous system, is attributable in part to
the use Of Tobacco" Dr. Hassock.
Hear what DR.. Cole says on this sub
ject. Tobacco is more deadly to life than
alcohol; the latter is doing greater evil
to the innocent portion of the public but
the former is more deadly on it's own vic
TINS while the fire of alcohol burns with
q mighty blaze, tobacco burns long and
deep in the fountain of lite; the one soon
exhausts itself, the other stealthily eats
away the cords of life, by imperceptible
degrees, to its victim, until in time he
dies in his sleep, or falls dead in the
street"
Its medical use is totally at war with its
common use. Hence said DR.. Franklin.
Il never saw well man in the exercise
OF common sense who would say that
tobacco did him any good"
81 never observed such pallid faces, and
SO many marks of declining health, or
ever knew so many hectical habits and
consumpt!ye atfectionsas of late years and
l trace this alarming inroad on young
constitutions to the pernicious custom Of
smoking cigars" DR.. Waterhouse.
Tobacco lmpairs digestion, poisons
the blood, depresses the vital bowers
causes the limbs to tremble and weakens
and otherwise disorders the heart" GDr
H. Gibbons.
We pass every day through all the
changes of human experience. We are

young bodies and feelings; we are middle
aged at noon, having seen an end of all
perfection we are old and weary and

An Incident with Moral.

One afternoon gentleman OF this city
entered the baggage car of an outward
train, and desiring to read some manu-
script, he chose this car because it was
airy and retired A youngster of about
fifteen years Of age was occupying, with
great abandon, chair The gentleman
wishing to sit near the open door of the
car, to obtain both light and air, thus ac-
costed the Youngsters
"Bub, will you exchange that chair for
my seat for a few minutes >"
NO, sir, this chair is engaged
The gentleman was very polite. as he
recognized the young mans right to the
chair by actual possession. 1t appears that
he was temporarily in charge Of some ex-
press matter, his father being the express
man on the route. but the moral of the in
cident we shall give in relating another
incident, which occurred in this city many
years ago.
There was a very plainly dressed, ell
derby lady, who was a frequent customer
at the then leading dry goods store in
Boston. No ole in the store knew her
even by name. All the clerks but one
avoided her and gave their attention TO
those who were better dressed and more
pretentious. The exception was this
Young man, who had a conscientious re-
gard for duty and system; he never left
another customer to wait on the lady, but
when at liberty he waited upon her with
as much attention as though she had been
q princess This continued for year or
two, until the young man became of age.
One morning the lady approached the
young man, when the following converse
ton took place:
Lady-''Young man, do You not wish to
60 into business for yourself 81
Yes. ma'am,'' he responded "but |
have neither money, credit nor friends,
nor Will any one trust me-
WELL" continued the lady, you 60
and select good location, ask what the
rent is, and report to me-" handing the
young man her address.
The young man went, found capital
location, a good store; but the landlord
required security which he could not give
Mindful of the lady's request he forthwith
went to her and reported.
WELL" she replied, ''you 90 and tell
Mr., - that | will be responsible
He went, and the landlord or agent was
surprised. but the bargain was closed
and next day the lady called to ascertain
the result. The young man tod her, but
added:
What am to do for goods9 No one
will trust me-"
You may 60 and see Mr. -, and
Mr.. -, and Mr.. =, and tell them to
call on me-
He did, and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market. There
are many in this city who remember the
circumstance and the man; he died many
years since and LETT fortune of three
hundred thousand dollars. SO much for
politeness. so much for civility, and so
much for treating ones elders with the
Difference due to age in whatever garb
they are clothed.
Now this gentleman in the baggage
car might haye been director Of the
road or very influential man, otherwise,
and as he is very observing man and a
good judge Of character, different an
swer from the youngster might have in
terested him in his behalf and led to some
future advantage. Boston Traveller.

Music in Camp,

Two armies covered hill and plain.
Where Rappahannocks waters
Ran deeply erimsoned with the stain

With cannon grimly planted,

A strain, now rich, now tender.

A CHURCH INCIDENT One Sunday NOT
long since, one of our most stylish Young
ladies waltzed into church with that in,
imitable grace that is at once the peculi-
arity and the charm Of the female denomi-
nation. AS she took her seat, by a little
behind hand movement she arranged her
overskirt and then settled herself to med
itate how she looked, and what the other
girls had on. The services concluded,
she arose to go out. Alas for human hopes!
That last touch on the overskirt was too
much; she threw it too high, and there it
rested on an old mutf which was serving
Tor a hustle. So the wretched girl wiggled
away Unconscious of the joy that filled the
hearts Of the other girls who saw it.
