Why Quit Smoking.

1t is two years since left off to.
bacco. l certainly did enjoy my CT
gar. Iprided myself on my fine Ha,
vanas, and might have been seen al
most any morning with one in my
mouth, walking down to business
and putting away in most comfort.
able manner.
Why l left it of is this: I have a
little son about six years of-age. He
almost always hurried to be ready to
go with me to his school. His bright
face and extended hand were always
welcome, and he bounded along be,
side me, chatting as only such dear
fellows can.
The city has in it many uncared
for boys, whose chief delight seems
to be to pick up pieces Of discarded
cigars and broken pipes, and with
their hands in their pockets, to puff
away in very inolegant manner.
One morning it seemed as if little

tiles ought to interfere and put q
stop to such public nuisance.
A little voice, soft and musical
came up to me as | gave an extra
puff at my superb Havana. A alright
little face was upturned, and the
words, "Isn't itworse for men?" came
mp to my ears.
l looked down on the little fellow
at my side, when his timid eye fell
and the color mounted to his boyish
cheek, as if he feared he had said
something bold and uniting.
"Do you think it worse for man,
EDGAR" l asked.
"Please, father, l think boys would
not want to smoke if men did not"
There was tho answer. l threw
away my cigar, and have never
touched tobacco since in any form.
And, having found that am so much
better without it, l never shall.

Wool smoke rs a Cure for
Wounds.

WOuMuS.
Here is something from an ex-
change for the barefooted boy: Every
little while we reid in the papers OF
some little one who has stuck a rusty
nail in his foot, or knee, or hand, or
some other portion Of his body, and
that lockjaw resulted therefro,n, of
which the patient died. If every
person was aware OLA perfect reme-
dy for all such wounds, and would
apply, it then all such reports must
cease. But although we can give
the remedy, we cannot force its ap.
plication. Some will not employ it
because they think it too simple;
Others will have no faith in it when
they read it; while others think such
a wound Of small account, and not
worth fussing over, until it is too late
to do any good. The remedy is sim
pie, almost always on hand, and can
be applied by anyone, and what is
better, it is infallible. 1t is simply
to smoke the wound that is inham-
ed with burning wool or wooden
cloth. Twenty minutesin the smoke
of wool will take the pain out of the
worst wound; repeated two or three
times, it will allay the worst cases of
inflammation arising from a wound.
People may sheer at "tho old mans
remedy" as much as they please, but
when they are afflicted, just let
them try it. 1t has saved many
lives and much pain, and is worthy
of being printed in letters of gold
and put in every house.
Alteration is to be always distin.
guished from hypocrisy as being
the act of counterfeiting those quail.
tiles which we might with limo.
cence and safety be known to want
Thus the man who, TO carry on any
fraud or to conceal any crime, pre-
tends to rigors Of devotion and ex.
actness of life, is guilty of hypoc-
risy, and his guilt is greater as the
end for which he puts on the false
appearance is more pernicious. But
he that with an awkward address
and unpleasing countenance boasts
of the conquests made by him among
the ladies, and counts over the thous-
ands which he might have possess,
ed if he would have submitted to
the yoke of matrimony, is chargea-
bic only with affectation. Hypoc-
risy is the necessary burden Of viz
lainy, afIectation part Of the chosen
trappings Of folly; the one com.
pletes a villain, the other furnishes
only a fop. Contempt is the proper
punishment Of affectation and detes-
tation the just consequences of by.
pocrisy.
