PRAISE FOR THE CIGAR.
happy Is Man Who Can Smoke With
 out Injuring Himself.
From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
 There are those who say that tobacco is the product of the devil and that it Is injurious to body. mind and morals. We have always believed. however, that to- bacco was put here for the enjoyment of man. just as other good things were given to us to be used and not abused. On one occasion a fanatic occupied the pulpit of Mir. Spurgeons church and de- livered a great tirade against tobacco. When the discourse closed MT. Sturgeon arose and said that every man was en- titled to his own opinion on that subject, but that tobacco to him was a great lux ury, and that before he retired that night he would smoke at least one fragrant cigar to the glory of God.
 The fact is, no hard and fast rule can be laid down. Some men smoke all their lives without any apparent injury to mind or body, whereas in other cases even a moderate use of the weed is more or less injurious. The philosophy of it all Is that each and every smoker should every now and then have an honest reck- oning with himself and determine wheth- CT or not tobacco is hurtful. If he is a sufferer from any nervous disease he should by all means discontinue his to- baceo for a time. and see whether or not there be improvement. He should make the experiment fairly and honestly, and if he finds that smoking is injurious he should have the moral courage to give it up.
 But happy is the man. especially the man of middle age or old age, who can smoke without hurt. There is a solace in tobacco which nothing else can give. Apart from the physical enjoyment Of smoking there is something delightful in the association of a cigar It forms a part of the social life. When you visit a friend an important feature of the evenings enjoyment to the wife. as well as to the husband. is the cigar which the man smokes. At the seashore In the sum mer time or at the mountain resort the stroll after the evening meal Is, with many man incomplete without his pun, and his smoking becomes after a while almost as enjoyable to his wife IS to himself And so the cigar becomes as- sociated with the sweetest experience of life, and it's smoke has the fragrance of our most sacred joys
 For thy sake, tobacco, would do any thing but die.'

 Nero ordered that the chariots be dumped in the sea and that lion fights be abolished from the coliseum.
 But, your highness," protested the Roman senator, what other exciting sport can we get that is as fatal and gory as those you are about to do away with?"
 Why, college football and hazing. and I shall introduce them this week"
