SnuE-Dipping.

An Atlanta (Georgia) paper says that
it is not generally known to what an ex-
tent the practice Of dipping snuff is car
ried in some sections Of our Fair South,
nor how matrons and young gills of in
telligence and high social standing are
slaves to habit that gradually under
mines their health, skaters their nerves,
and too often insidiously opens the door
to the terrible opium habit. Snuff-dip-
ping is demoralizing in the first instance,
because in most cases it fosters conceal
ment and deceit. The habit is kept
secret from parents and friends. We
know daughters whose snuff boxes are
concealed in their rooms, where they
use it constantly without the knowledge
of their parents. We have seen at boaro :
schools girls go into Mysteries when de-
prived of their snuff, and borrow tobacco
from the servants, as substitute, until
they could obtain their usual stimulant

we'll acquainted with three sisters-beau-
tiful young girls, were it not for the sal
low hue furnishing their compilations

ment for derangment of the nervous
system and digestive organs, arising
from the constant use of snuff. Their
physicians have assure them that it was
the cause of the disease thus blighting
their young lives, and that medicine
must be in vain as long as the practice
was continued; and still they cling tc
their snuff bottles as persistantly as the
topper to his demijohn. And this when
they know that the vile poison nourishes
the worm disease at the root of life
silently, slowly, but surely destroying il
ere its prime; for aside from the filth
ness Of this habit, the constant drain o.
the sallvary glands throw the delicately
balanced system out of order, and bring
on q train Of diseases to render life in
suppor.ably burdensome.

he made his way up stairs unobserved
by the servants. This story Gan suthen-

accounts of lions, which haYe in SINH
lar way been kept from making the final
spring by a resolute and determined gaze,
carried on to even utter prostration Of
mind and body. There is one remarkable
anecdote Of this, where man was
obliged to protract this mode of self
defense for such length Of time that he
was disabled by the bIistering of his feet
on q scorching rock, where he was first
assailed.

regularly adjourned to see the show.
Hanging formed holiday amusement of
the fashionable society of London. Such
was the disregard of human feeling that
tS1icers Of the law were not ashamed to
practice cruel receptions on convicts at
the very scaffold. A person named David
Lindsay, convicted of raitorous visits to
France, was sentenced to die, and carted
to TybUrn in spite of an amnesty. When
bis neck was in the moose the Sheriff tested
David's courage by telling him he might
yet save his life on condition of revealing
the names of alleged traitors. David,
however, sorely tempted, declined to save
his neck on such terms. Thercupon the
Sheriff ordered the cart to drive on; but
even this move toward leaving Lindsay
suspended did not shake his stout spirit.
All this time the Sheriff had reprieve
for the unnecessarily tortured fellow in
his pocket. Before the cart was fairly
from under Lindsay's feet it was stopped,
or he would have been murdered. TAX en-
back alive to Newgate, very unusual
spectacle, Lindsay, after being nearly
starved in loathsome dungeon, was sent
into perpetual Punishment; ultimately he
died of hunger and exposure in Holland.

rebels would have shocked ordinary

around her name spell Of romance and

eighteen, she accompanied her husband

several years interrupted by occasional
