Pipe And Smoker.

When you introduce a smoking een-
tenarian to the notice of an anti-tobacco
fanatic, he usually retorts that the man
would have been one hundred and one
by now if he had never smoked, says
the Pail Mall GG-ctfe. Whether the
old man upon whom an inquest was
held at st. Barth 7lOmcw's hospital re-
Gently would have been centenarian
by now if he had been an anti-tOhaccO
fanatic, will never be known; as il was,
he just failed by something under two
months. Born on March /, 1876, he be-
came an habitual smoker at the early
age Of fifteen.
\ man who manages to keep his pipe
going from year before Moscow to a
fortnight after Krugersdorp seems at
first sight rather nasty one for the
anti tobacco fanatic. But, on the
whole, perhaps, the fanatic scores, be
cause the old man had been for years
accustomed 10 smoke in bed, practice
which, as every smoker knows, pre-
sents that happy combination of enjoy
ment with risk which our nation al
ways loves TO find in its manly sports,
and the other day he-was found in bed
so badly burned that he had only time
to calculate 'pipe and tobacco" as an
explanation before he died. How does
the argument stand, then? 1t is nice
question, but, personally, We do not Ob
ject to glorious death like that if some
one will only guarantee us eighty-fOur
years of unbroken smoking as pre-
liminary.

A Question of Vision.

1t is an admitted fact that the eye is
the ''organ of vision,n yet there is but
little doubt, even i'm the minds of opti-
clans and psychologists, that the phe-
nomenon of seeing" is chiefly mental
in other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that ''sees."
How often have you seen friend
who, seemingly, was engaged i'm look
ing intently on some object OH the
table, at the opposite side of the room,
or at some picture, who on being
aroused from his day dream, would
confess that he was ''lookiug at moth
ing in particular" The explanation of
the fact that he saw nothing in par
ticular" is plain enough Improperly set
forth. 1t was because his mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces, bits of wayside scenery, and
the like, were being presented to view
in the panorama of the mind, and the
minds eye"-or mental vision-was
engaged in eagerly scanning pictures
of impressions made thereon months,

Warning to Young Men.

How many young men bankrupt
their constitutions, squander their
vitality and ruin their health by
pernicious practices generally con-
tracted through ignorance. Nervous
exhaustion, debility, dullness of men,
tai faculties, impaired memory, low
spirits, mOrose or irritable temper,
fear of impending calamity, and a
thousand and one are the arrangements
of mind and body which result from
such indiseretions. Epilepsy, paraly
sis, softening of the brain and dread
insanity are not unfrequently the result
of indiscreet and unnatural habits, con-
traeted in youth, through ignorance of
their destructive character, and persist
ed in until the constitution is wrecked.
Such unfortunates are surely entitled to
the tender sympathy, the noblest efforts
and the best skill Of the medical pro-
fession. To reach, reclaim and, when
ever possible to restore such sufferers to
health and happiness, is the aim Of an
association of medical gentlemen, who,
having had vast experience in the
treatment of the class of maladies here
in limited at, have prepared scientific
treatise, written in plain but ehaste
language, on the nature, symptoms and
durability of such diseases. The Worlds

strict integrity, and noted far and wide
for his liberality and charity, and for
his kindness to his fellows. He lost
his life while trying to do a favor for
an old friend and neighbor, John c.
Graft. Mr.. Craft had bought some
kind Of a patent pump and called on
Judge Hatfield to assist him to put it
in the well. The Judge, as was his
custom, promptly responded, and
quickly descended into the well, when
he called TO Mr.. Craft to send him a
tool Of some sort; the tool was placed
in heavy iron-bound tub and lowered
towards the bottom of the well, but
from some neglect, the cable slipped,
and the tub fell with great force, and
struck Judge Hatfield on the head, in
juring him so severely that be only
lived few hours. His funeral pro-
cessiOn was one Of the largest ever-seen
in Fayette county. Lawyers, Judges Of
the Court, friends and neighbors, all
joined together to show respect, in
death, to the one they had respected so
much and loved so well in life. Peter
COlley's old tavern is located a mile
west of Hatfield's. II was built of stone,
and stands on the south side Of the
road. Peter Colley was Abel COlley's
father. He was one of the earliest SET
tiers, and kept tavern on the old
road, before any one thought there
would be a National Pike. The old
pike boys used to say Peter Colley kept
his money in a barrel. Mr.. Colley
was an old man when the pike was
completed, and did not live long to
enjoy the profits of the great highway.
He must have made most Of his s'bar-
rel" on the old road. After his death
his sOn-George COlley-tOOk posses
sion of the tavern, and he kept it up
for many years. lie lived until the
business on the pike was on the wane,
when the house was closed as a tavern.
The hills on either side of this old tav-
ern are Of considerable altitude, and,
i'm the olden time this house was a re-
lay for the stages, and extra horses,
''postillion," with light riders, were
kept here, TO assist the stages IN the
ascent. With nine passengers inside
stage, two more on the seat with the
driver, several on top, the 'boot' full
of heavy trunks, and mail bags under
the drivers seat, four horses could not
make-the required average Of twelve
miles an hour, so that many "postill-
ion" horses and riders were required
by the stage companies on the pike.
For some two hundred miles or more,
these extras were an absolute necessity.
Half grown boys, or small men were
employed as riders, and at the bottom
of hill the rider would be in readi-
ness, with single and double trees TO
hook on to the end Of the tongue, and
in few seconds of time the stage
would be flying towards the top of the
hill, the rider being seated on the
''near'' horse, and leading the "Of''
one. He would descend As rapidly as
possible, to his post, ready to help an
other stage. The ''Shakeguts'' also
employed ''postillions" as they, usual
ly, were heavily loaded.

CLOSE OF A MARCH DAY.

The wind that all day wanton revei held,
Casting the light spray far beyond the shore,
Toiling through forest with sullen roar,
quelled,
Hath at ewes hour forbore.
Brceze-swept and somber. all the plain. is
mute,
While remnant SHOWS ewes tender eolors
take,
Deep-thrilled / hear sweet puriing notes
awake,
From first inspiring minstrel's dulcet note,
By mead and ice-bound lake.
o Huebird, angel of our springs OF old
JOY TO hear again thy raptured thanks,
Ger clustered osiers ON the freed book
blanks,
That blend haze OF green throughout their
gold,
Thy blue the sky outranks.
With silvered sheen through the expectant
air.
The willow catkins creep from out their
scales.
What though tomorrow whirling snow pre-
walls?
Here the next suns will tell with accents rare
First of sweet Flora's tales.
Like doubling child that psuses ere IL tries
To take in sequence careful footsteps slow,
SO March sunny footprint doth bestow,
Then clings to winters frozen skirts and
cries.
Then on with smile doth go.
