MY LAST CIGAR.

One Christmas my mother invited
her children to her home to spend the
oay' l went and enjoyed the last
Christmas l ever spent with her, After
enjoying a real good, old fashioned
Christmas dinner I went out doors to
smoke an extra large and fine Havana.
which a friend had given me a few
days before for a Christmas smoke. |
found the flavor fine, but the tobacco
was much stronger than l was accus-
toned to, SO when only a third of it was
smoked found myself quite dizzy,
and compelled to cease operations. tho
had used the weed ten years.
So let the fire go out, and after the
dizziness passed off l went back into
my mothers presence. with the unlit
cigar between my teeth. As l entered
my mother looked up and said:
MY son, l wish you would do some
thing today that you will in the future
always be glad you did do upon this
Christmas Day, which will be of per-
manent good to you through your re.
naming life, and make your mother
happy as we'll"
Name it. mother" l replied.
Throw that cigar into the stove and
never smoke another, or use the evil
weed in any way; it is a slow but sure
poison, besides being an expensive
habit"
took out the cigar from my mouth,
ooked at it, asked myself, can l leave
OIL sm~oking-then l looked over to
mothers chair; her eyes were closed,
but her lips moved, and I felt that
mother was lifting up her heart to God
Tor me, and the words came to me,
My grace is sufficient" and instantly
/ raised the stove lid and threw in nv
Havana, and said:
Mother, l will do it,"
You will never regret it, she said.
and tears of joy ran down her cheeks.
And am happy to say l have naver
regretted it. The great wonder to me
today is how l ever could consent to
have endured the slavery of tobacco
ten years. Having been a free man
fifteen years l have come to despise
tobacco in every form in which men
use it. And how a father can use the
vile weed, and encourage his children
to use it, as thousands do in our State.
Is one of the most astonishing things
to me, and one of the saddest things |
encounter. And hope Christian wo
men will wage their wal upon tobacco
as well as upon rum until it is banished
from every home. Mothers, do your
duty. Fathers, do it by ex mple as
well as by precept, and then the evil
will be stamped out, because there is
no influence so powerful with a son as
a father and mothers. -Christian at
