The Smoking Habit.

A New York cigar manufacturer,
having been got to talk about the eff
feet of the reduction from Sc to "a in
the tax on cigars, says: "The Ameri-
can people are not smoking people to
any great extent" because 50,0OO,00O
people smoke only p 900 million cigars
year. Mr.. Lichtenstein's idea of "a
smoking people" apparently is one
where every man, woman and child of
the whole $4,000, 900 smokes. ConSid-
ering that half the population are
women, and another large fraction
children and invalids, it would seem as
though we were sufficiently smoking
people. The number of males in the
country over 81 years of age is ii little
short of l3,0O0,000, so that the con-
sumption of cigars averages 275 a year
for every man of voting age. In New
England i'll any gathering of business
and professional men, nearly One-halt
will decline to smoke, but i'll the rest
of the country the proportion of non
smokers is perhaps not so large. Mr..
Lichtenstein agrees that the cigarette
is perniciOus. He says: sit is only
within a few years past that cigarette
smoking has become common, and it
has helped the cigar trade enormously
A boy finds that he can Whit a cigar
cite. and so becomes accustomed to
the taste of tobacco whereas a cigar
tried for the first time makes him sick
In that way the habit of smoking is
growing, because from being a cigar
cite smoker when young he passes to
cigar smoker when older" The Gig
arctic is Il curse to the youth, as is to-
bacco in all its forms, and in mos
cases an extravaganza which men can
not afford.

THE SERVANTS WATCHING.

THE SERVANTS WATCHING.
Let your loins Ice girded about, and
your lamps burning; and be We your
selves like unto men looking for their
lord. when he shall return from the
marriage feast that when he cometh
and knocketh, they may straightway
open unto him. Blessed are those ser
wants, whom the lord when he cOmeth
shall find watching: verify | say unto
you that he shall grid himself, and
make them sit down to meat, and
shall come and serve them. And if he
shall come i'll the second watch, and if
III the third, and find them SO, blessed
are those servants. But know this,
that if the master of the house had
known in what hour the thief was com
ing, he would have watched, and not
left his house to be broken through.
Be We also ready: for in an hour We
think not the Son of man cOmeth.
And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou
this parable unto us, or even unto all
And the Lord said, Who then is the
faithful and wise steward, whom his
lord shall set over his househould To
give them their portion of food in due
season. Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find Sc
doing. Ofa truth / say unto you, that
he will set him over all that he hath
But if that servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming
and shall begin to beat the men-ser-
wants and the maidservants, and tC
eat and drink, and to be drunken the
lord of that servant shall come in q
day when he eXpecteth not, and in al
hour when he knoweth not, and shall
cut him asundcr, and appoint his por-
ton with the untaithful. And that
servant, which knew his lords will
and made not ready, nor did according
to his will, shall be beaten with many
stripes; but lac that knew not, and did
things worthy of stripes, shall be beat
en- with few stripes. And to whomso-
ever much is given, of him shall much
be required and to whom they com
nit much, of him will they ask the

President GarfeId's Religion

The greatest consolation which has
been felt by all Christian people in the
suffering and death of our beloved
President, was that he was an earnest
Christian. Such incidents as the fol-
lowing will always be read with pleas
ure At Chicago, when Garfield was
nominated President, on Saturday
night, many wanted to go on with the
balloting after midnight, and many
pressed Judge IIoar, the chairman, to
ignore the Sabbath and let the cOnven-
ton go on. Judge Hoar replied, "Nev-
er. This is Il Sabbath keeping nation,
and | cannot preside over this conven-
ton one minute after twelve o'clock"
On Sabbath Garfield attended church
and heard sermon, and dined with
Marshal Field. The conversation turn
ed upon the suspense of the country
One spoke of the deadlock in business
created by it; another of the quietus
at Washington, where all were waiting
for further developments of the conven-
ton. One said one thing, and on,
another. All except Garfield said
something; and when all were done h,
remarked quietly, but with earnestness
to one sitting by him, Eyes, this is {
day of suspense, but it is also a day o
prayer; and have more faith in tn,
prayers that will go up from Christian
hearts to-day than have in all the pc
litical tactics which will prevail at thi
convention

The Growth Of Sin.

Believe it, there is no sin so small
but it tends to the utmost wickedness
that can possibly be committed. An
ireverent thought of God tends to no
less than blasphemy and atheism. A
slight grudge of another tends to nc
less than hatred and murder. A las
civious thought tends to no less than
impudent and common prostitution
And though at first they seem to play
only singly about the heart, yet in Il
little while they will mortally wound
it Bishop Ezekiel Hopkins.

Perfect Trust.

BY this you may know you dwell in
Christ, if, when the tempest comes,
you are ready to run under His wing,
and think of no house, no shelter, no
protection but His. Talk what we
will of faith, if we do not trust and re-
ly on Him, we do not believe in him.

Webster's Knife and Fork.
How He Was Broken of a Disagreeabis
Table Habit.

When Daniel Webster's father found that
his son was not robust enough to make sue
cessful farmer, he sent him to Exeter to pre-
pare for college, and found a homo for him
among a number of other students in the fami-
" of sold Squire Clifford" as we Of younger
generation have always heard him called.
writes the Exeter IN. H. correspondent of Tho
Chicago Advance. Daniel had up to this time
led only the secular life of a country farmers
boy, and, though the New Hampshire farmers
have sent many heroes as firm and true as tho
granite rocks in the pasture, there cannot Be
among the hard and bomely work which such
q life Implies the little 6nenesses of manner
which good society demands. Daniel WAS ono
of these diamonds of the first water, but was
still in the rough, and needed some cutting
and polishing TO fit him TO shine in the great
world in which he was to figure so conspicu-
ously. None saw this more clearly than the
sensible old squire. The boy had one habit at
the table of which the squire saw 1t would be
kindness to cure him. When not using his
knife and fork, he was accustomed to hold
them upright In his is s, on either side OF his
plate. Daniel was bashful boy Of very deli
cate feelings, and the squire feared to wound
him by speaking to him directly on the sab
ject. So he called aside one of the other stu
dents with whom he had been longer acquaint-
ed, and told him his dilemma. Now" said
he, II want you TINS noon at tne taple 70 noio
up your knife and fork as Daniel does. will
speak to you about it, and we will see IL the
boy does not take hint for himself"
The young man consented to be the scape-
goat for his fellow student, and several times
during the meal planted his fists on the table,
with his knife and fork as straight as II he had
received orders to present arms. The squire
drew his attention to his position courteously
begged his pardon for speaking of the matter,
and added few kind words on the importance
of young men correcting such little habits be-
fore going out into the world. The student
thanked him for his interest and advice, and
promised reform, and Daniels knife and fork
were never from that day seen elevated at the
table. When, after vacation, Daniels father
brought the lad for second term to Exeter,
he put in his saddebag good fat turkey from
the Franklin farm, which he gave to the squire
as an expression of his gratitude for Daniels
improved manners. We have never heard
further particulars, but We hope the selfsacri-
fcing student got the "lucsy bone" when the
fowl was served

In one respect the great efforts of the Ca
madam government to stimulate the build
ing of the Canadian Pacific Railroad clear
through to its Pacific terminus will be high
ly important in the United States. They
will hasten the day when civilized popula-
ton will occupy the entire British border,
and thus relieve us of the danger of inces-
sant savage warfare on both sides of the line,
always difficult to deal with on account of
the inability of the.troops to follow savages
across the frontier.

ACCORDING to the latest accounts from
the flooded country, there is no hope that
the people whose homes and lands are under
water will be able to raise any crops this
year. This simple statement has a signifi-
canoe which needs no explanation. 1t means
that for many months to come thousands OF
poor people who have lost their all will be
without the means Of subsistence. This is
state of things which beggars comment, and
which imposes duty upon the community
which it cannot be necessary to point out.

WORCESTER Spy: The argument is all on
the side of the woman suffragists. 1t is I'M
possible to confute their reasoning, or to de-
nv that all their demands to their full ex-
tent are the logical sequence of the princi-
pies on which our government is based.
But logic, though it may be convincing, is
not always persuasive, and it is not every
legislator who is capable even of being con-
yinced by argument. Men, and women too,
are conservative. There are many who say:
"Though you demonstrate that woman suf-
frage is a right, and the withholding of it
logical absurdity, 1 am not ready to give nay
vote for it until can be satisfied that some
practical good will follow from conceding
it,, And there are many women, probably
a majority of them, who say: "Rght or
not, we do not want it, and we protest
against having its responsibilities and bur
dens thrust upon u.s. To convince and
persuade these reluctant sisters is the task
at which the female advocates of woman
suffrage should most zealously labor. When
they succeed in that, other obstacles will
vanish
