The Etiquette of the Cigar.

Never light your cigar with match
borrowed from one who smokes, and
who has no cigar, unless you can offer him
one If you have none to offer, suggest
that you would give him very fine La
Antigueded-if you had it.
Always bite off the end of your last
cigar when in company. Then no one
will take it if you proffer it.
Don't puff the smoke of straight
fve-center' into the face of friend and
ask his opinion of the quality. He will
always have a suspicion that you have
your cigars made for you from some of
last years white vests.
There is no danger of offending the
majority of ladies by smoking in their
presence. If you have fine cigar do
CINE. Smoke slowly and make rings
That viii amuse them, and be good
excuse for smoking.
Never smell of gift cigar 1t denotes
suspicious mind.
1t is not pretty to expectorate when
smoking. You might as well chew to-
bacco, for it adds TO the vileness of the
habit.
In order that your friend may get the
full benefit of your cigar, smoke It until
it burns your mustache. Burned hair
may be a sweeter perfume than your
tobacco, and it shows an economical
turn of mind.
On the 21st of July. Mrs. Griffith
Thompson, living near Bayou Chicot,
La, observing commotion among the
cattle near the house, went to see what
the matter was, when full grown wild
cat leaped upon her and fastened his
teeth in her arm. She Immediately grasp
ed the savage creature by the throat
with the right hand, and calling for as
sistance in vain, held the cats throat
while it was biting and scratching her,
until she choked il to death. It never
relaxed its hold until dead. The lady
was somewhat injured but not seriously.

TINE NIGHT WIND.

Once WI hen the night-wind clspped il
wings,
And shook the window bars and roof,
heard the souls of battle kings
Drive by in clashing proof
Sometimes, n rnnic strife il kept,
of winter nights, In sleeted trees;
Or underneath the caves 10 cr-pt-
A swarm of murmuring bees.
Or, now, wild hnntsmen Of the air
In hollow chase their bugle, blew,
While swift DER wond and hilltop bare
The shrill-voiced quarry fiew.
Sometimes heard Of lovers flown,
Safe, under ward of storm and night,
To where, in sylvan lodge. there shone
A taper kind and bright.
These things the night-wind used TO tell,
And still would tell, IL might hear;
But sorrow sleeps too sound and well
To lend dresmful ear.

Some men have been reputed brave,

Mr.. Hobhouse, Lord Byron's

hero coward was a servant, a Greek,
