The Eth.c. Of Tobacco smoking.

1t is not good for gentlemen to smoke
in the public streets 1t is inadmissible il
he is walking with lady He may not
smoke if he Is in company with his wife,
because the relationship is known TO the
public, and in the act he shows his want
of respect After breakfast the business
man is permitted, upon the railroad or
ferryboat, or avenue car, to finish his
after breakfast cigar. None but Irish la
borers or English gentlemen ever smoke
briarwood pipes or clay dudeens, except
in private. The smell of the cigar ette
holder is inexpressibly nasty, and under
no circumstances will gentleman ever
smoke cigarettes in a mixed society The
cigarette should be confined to the smok-
ing room or smoking-csr, and never under
any circumstances, be indulged In when
ladies are present As an after dinner in
diligence, smoking is admissible after the
ladies have retired. Cigarettes are useful
because they kill of worthless boys. The
pipe is Il comfort to workingmen and a So
lace to old age. Cigars should be regarded
as a luxury, and indulged in by only those
who can afford to purchase good ones.
The man who will smoke bad cigar in
any public place, or where its fumes are
likely to reach any others nose than his
own, is no gentleman.-San Francisco

Many a flip and quip are passed among the
city folk at the expense Of the elderly brides
and grooms. For my part | never feel like
making fun of them. Their bit of happiness,
real or fancied, am glad to nee. Many Of
them bear evidence in their faces of having
suffered enough before they reached the para
disc they are at present summing themselves in.
Marital happiness is held up in society and
literature as the one earthly possession worth
striving for. Yet the moment two persons,
young or old, enter into it and wear its sign
on their faces, they are ieered at by the rest
of the world What is the reasoni Is it be
cause they arouse the envy of others, or is il
because the people who ridicule them have
gone through the same experience and have
found il evanescent as the bloom and bcautl
Of the rosei
All, those dear, elderly brides and bride
groOms Who is small minded enough Ia
grudge them their brief day Of happiaeSSi

dcarment, their .'iOves" and -tlarlinss" anil
.'dcarests," thinking not that such words be-
long only TO loves young dream. The human
heart is never old, and when it becomes young

dation, instead Of ridicule. In the story
books, when the lovers are safely married
and ecstatically happy, everybody is pleased,
and the reader gives them tear of sympa-
thetic joy. In real life everybody laughs at
them, and by various cruel ways gives them
to understand that ths world thinks they are
fools
The world What is it to thernl There is
no world outside of themselves. By and by
they will enter it-not now. They do not
even believe in its existence yet. The out
siders-the jeering, chafling multitude-will
not long let them remain undisturbed in their
emotional paradise. They will never rest
until these babes OF Cupid's woods wake up
from their dream of bliss and begin to have
trouble. Then they will let them alone, be
cause their experiences have begun TO be
commonplace.
Here the newly welded babes wander, un-
conscious of the sneers, the arching eyebrows,
the sly, game making smiles they excite. They
drive in the park; they loiter around the
animals in the menagerie; they take trips by
boat and trips by land; they look at pictures;
they inspect the shops; they attend the poorest
plays and find them extravagantly interest

In after years. when they have emerged
from the rosy mists of loves young dream in

In all probability there were idlerS in that
car with nothing better to think about than
to wonder why that self-aSsertive, tine-look
ing woman married that feeble-brained little
man. Well, they will never know. Nobody
ever did know Hundreds and thousands Of
brides have been wondered about, and nobody
ever learned the why and wherefore Of their
becoming brides to inferior husbands. 1t Is
doubtful if they knew themselves. Destiny
has finger i'll it, Fate manages it.
The elderly widower with the young bride
comes in for generous share of comment
Happily he is unconscious of it. His happi-
ness is 20 engrossing that he never sees outside
of the rose-colored AREA that surrounds him.
II he detect any smiles at his expense
he attributes them to envy and goes gayly on
The grim dignity Of his years has fallen away
from him, and something very like the joy
ouSress of youth is on his face. He would be
a boy again, sure enough, if Others would let
him: but they will not. They make sport Of
his happiness and drive him back TO the
prim manpers Of mi.ldle-age, and so he
settles DOWN and grows old with the rest of
them, because society will not permit him to
keep young.
Newly married pairs frequent the theatres
here, and are often noticeable. The elderly
ones advertise their bliss far more than the
young They promenade Broadway in un-
miStakably new and unfamiliar garments,
and carry their recently acquired happiness
along with them in such overpowering quaint
ties that every one is forced to notice and
tempted to comment on it. In the srops they
wander like beings from another plan's, look
ing, praiSing, buying, smiling. The 'ity is a
big fair to them, and they have nothing in the
world TO do but enjoy its wonders.
