Our Presbyterian mite society met
on Tuesday evening. Their debate was
amusing as well as interesting. Tho
question was: (which IL the m ost in i.
furious to the human family, Whiskev
or Tobacco% After several arguments
had been ably discussed and the mat.
ter turned inside out our Judge was
called upon for the. decision and he
gave the answer that"whi. key"wss the
most Injurious. Now this very Judge
had given his Vows upon the suoiec t,

He Is great tobacco chewer ana a
temperance man from head to foot,
aud why wouldn't he put both feet on
the whlsksy question.
one conceited speaker tried to make
out that whiskey was 40 degrading
and what our country was to day
from the use of It. will ask this man
how many whiskey drinkers we haye
to day, that did not com mence using
tobacco first. perhaps when ten years
OF age. and after this tobacco Affects
the nervous system to such an extent
that something stronger is needed to
stimulate the nerves. They then
seek for whiskey and this fills the bill.
But tobacco will make man very die
gushing; often yon meet one and you
speak to him with all the politeness
necessary, and it's Impossible for him
to utter one word until he relieves lis
mouth OF something less than a pint
OF tobacco essence, and after waiting

We know OF many cases where our
leading physicians have ordered
as medicine, no uoubt, to
build up the very system that tobacco
has almost destroyed. And DO we
know OF one case where tobacco has
been used as medicine? The only
thing tobacco is fit for is to kill potato
bugs and bed bugs. Why, hog won't.
chew tobacco. At the same time, our
young men think it dreadrlil;t tine young

let whiskey alone. Don't fight whis-
icy Just because tho man who drinks
I must make a slave and show OF
himself.
Another point worthy OF note is Just
