Huw Smiki s Stopped Chewing Tobacco.
Siuikes made up Itis mind to stop
chowing. lie never Was much of a
clu’wer, anyhow, he said. lie hadn’t
used tobacco but a few year3, and rare
ly consumed more than an ounce paper
in a day. But lie feared tile habit might
get hold of him and become fixed, find if
there was anything that he abhorred it
was to sec a man become tv slave to a
bad habit, lie had used the weed r.otne,
to be sure, but there had never been a
time during the last ten years when he
could not stop at any moment. But so
long as he did uot become habitual in its
use he did not care to stop. He could
break ofl at any minute, and it was
a great satisfaction to feel so. Thomp
son, he thought, was an abject slave
to bis pipe, lie pitied Thompson, for be
had‘seen Thompson try to stop smoking
several times, and failed ignominously
every time he undertook it.. But Smikes
wanted to show his wife how easy he
could quit. So one morning he remark-,
ed carelessly to Samantha that he guess
ed he would stop using tobacco. Sa
mantha said she was glad of it, and ad
ded, impetuously, what she had never
said before, that it was a vile habit. —
Smikes appeared a little nervous and
confused when Samantha said this, and
mumbled out something about being gfad
he had never got into it himself. In his
agitation be pulled gut bis tobacco box
and was about to take a chew when lie
recollected himself, and plunged out of
the front door, forgetting bis umbrella.
About half way to the office he met
Jones, with whom he was having some
business transactions. While they were
talking the thing over Smikes got a little
enthusiastic, and he had almost reached
the office before be noticed that lie was
rolling an uncommonly plump quid
around bis mouth like a sweet morsel. —
lie puzzled over that little tiling all the
rest of tli3 forenoon, and at last ho took
it out of his mouth and threw it away,
satisfied that he must have taken it while
talking with Jones. Twice that after
noon Smikes took out his tobacco box
and looked at it. Once he took off the
cover and smelled of the tobacc >. It
smelt so good that Smikes felt mp.dled
to remark to himself that it was the
easiest thing in the world to st >p chew
ing. He congratulated himself again
and again that day that he did n>t be
come entangled in the meshes of the
filthy vice, and he alluded to the mitter
three or four times that evening at the
tea-table, till Samantha marveled great
ly at the firmness of Sm kes. She bad
always heard, she said, that it wis a
hard thing to leave oft’. But Smikes
had told her, and kept telling her, that it
was ‘jnst as easy,’ and her reverence for
the virile strength and independence of
character of Smikes grew'like a gourd.
That night Smikes had tlie nightmare.—
He thought that a legion of foul fiends
had got him up in a corner of the back
yard and had rolled upon him a mon
strous quid of “fine cut” as large around
as a cart wheel, and they were trying
to force it into his mouth. Smikes strug
gled vigorously, and when Samantha
shook him and asked him what was tiie
matter, his only reply was that anybody
could stop chewing if they oidy made up
t'leir mind to it. The next day Smikes
was a little nervous. He told everybody
who came in what a simple thing it was
to stop chewing. The third day he harp
ed about it all day long. The fourth day
Smikes heard that chamomile blossoms
were sometimes used as a substitute for
tobacco, and just out of curiosity he de
voured a couple of ounces of them.—
He said to th'e druggist when he bought
t! e n that it was easy enough to stop the
ue of tobacco. On the fifth day Smikes
got sick, llis nerves gave out. That
day the devil whispered to Smikes that
tobacco was really beneficial to some
temperaments. Smikes had a tempera
ment of that kind. The sixth day he
Felt like a murderer. Smikes seemed to
himself to have become transformed into
a Modoc. His mouth was dry and
parched, A stout, healthy old gentle
man came into Smikes’ office that day.
lie was a friend of Smikes, and as he
drew iorth his silver tobacco box and
daintily shook out a small portion of the
pungent wc*ed, Smikes felt his mouth wa
ter. lie remarked to Mr. Johnson that
he had not chewed any for six days, and
that he had refrained so long just to sat
isfy himself that anybody could chew or
lot it alone. Mr. Johnson said he had
chewed regularly for thirty years and it
had not injured him. Smikes took the
box and accidentally rolled a large quid
into his left cheek, remarking that he
thought there was a great difference in
some men. lie was satisfied that he
.could stop chewing at any time, hut there
were some temperaments to which a gen
tle narcotic or opiate was really a bless
ing.
They have had a genuine sensation at Janes
ville, Wisconsin. Last Thursday morning, to
tlie astonishment and wonder of everybody,
legions of frogs were seen to come out of the
ritcr and start in a Northwesterly direction.
One observer recks them at ten thousand to tlio
acre, and, as they covered all tho ground in
the vicinity, the local neospaper estimates tho
number at several millions.
A Little Fun With Hopkins,
Some years ago, says Max Adder in
Saturday Night, a now fire company was
organized at Reading, and the members
one evening thought they would have a
little fun at the expense of Hopkins,
their foreman. They decided to rush
around with the engine to Hopkins’
house after dark, to throw up their lad
ders, pull out their hose, climb on his
roof and scare him with tho belief that
his dwelling was on fire. But that very
day Hopkins moved out of the house,
and a Presbyterian clergyman moved in,
without the company being aware of the
change. So about eight o’clock the
humorists dashed out, and went through
all the movements, getting on the roof
and splashing water around, and crea
ting a terrific disturbance generally. A
rival company noticing what was going
on also hurried to the scene, and with
out understanding the joke, attached
their Lose to a plug, smashed in the front
windows, and began t) empty a two
inch stream or, the family,of that Pres
byterian clergvman. They squirted into
all the rooms, split up the window-shut
ters with an axe, broke down the front
door, ran out the furniture, tore oft’ the
shingles, and bawled through the trum
pets until the hired girl had convulsious
on the kitchen stairs. The first compa
ny tried to explain, but the new comers
thought an effort was being made to get
them out of the way, and a fight ensued,
and presently firemen were sliding off the
roof, and pelting down the chimneys,
and bleeding over the entry carpet, and
having boisterous encounters With span
ners and brass horns on the staii’3. And
the next morning that Presbyterian di
vine and his family moved out. They
said tlie place seemed to be too animated
and sensational for a quiet domestic
circle. They wanted a house where
there was more calmness and peace:
where they could have more security for
their privacy and pianos, and for their
front doors and slfingles, and peace of
mind and window sashe*.
A Reckless Poet.
Or.e of our poetasters offers these ob
servations :
Give me kisses—do not stop
Measuring nectar by the drop ;
Though to millions they amount,
They will never drain the founfr,
Kiss me then,
Every moment and again.
If she kissed him every moment site
would ki-s him half a million times a
year, and she would have to kies him
every minute for two vears before “to
millions they amount.” This would not
allow time for meals, and it is probable
the poet and woman would starve. As
far as the poet is concerned, we do not
know that it makes much difference.—
Perhaps the world would he happier it
ho should die. We think, upon reflec
tion, that we may possibly bo able to
spaie him ; hut it will hardly he fair to
kill the woman at the same time. Upon
the whole, it will be better to have inter
vals of repose. Suppose we say, kiss
him for an hour, and then pause to let
him fill up with beef and cabbage.
That Party.
One of the Brownville Tennessee Am
ateur Band hoys went out into the coun
try a few nights ago to a party. lie
was putting on a large amount of style,
promiscuously floating ’round amongst
the girls, and having a good time gener
erally.” Seeing a 'young lady seated
against the wall, looking kinder lone
some, he walked up and the following
conversation ensued :
“This is a very pleasant evening, the
assemblage here to-r.igiit fai*exceeds the
most sanguine expectations of our ex
cellent hostess, Mrs.
“Sir ?”
‘I remarked that this was a very pleas
ant evening, that the attendance present
here to-night, far exceeds the most san
guine expectations of our excellent hos
tess, Mrs. .’
“Sir ?”
“I simply remarked that this was a
very pleasant evening and that the as
semblage here quite exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of our excellent
hostess and friend, Mrs.
“Sir
“I said that there was a d—n big
crowd here to-night ?”
‘ATes-sir-ee. You bet I”
At this sUgc of the conversation our
Brownville friend struck a beesline for
home.
We don’t think lie will ‘agonize’ any
more in tho country.

Tlie Idaho Statesman thus slanders an Ore

a eampmeeting in Oregon, a short time ago,
the local preacher said : “I hope all the con

cisely at that hour we will pass to the creek,
where I shall baptize Four adults and six adul
teresses.’ ”

My thoughts are nil in yonder town,
Where, wept by many tears,*
To-day my mother's Fiend lays down
Tho burden of her years.
True n- in life, no pour disguise
Of I’cith with her is seen,
And on her simple ea-kot lies
No wreath of bloom and green,

The mocking weeds of woo ;
Rut blessings of ti e voiceless heart,

From her loved pines of prayer I see

You sorrow most of all.

Snob peace with her away. ■

Tho look of sins forgiven !

Oor own needs up to heaven!

Or knelt in grateful praise !
What grace of Christian womanhood
Was in her household ways!
For still her holy living meant
No duty left undone ;
The heavenly and the human blent
Their kindred lqves in one.
And if her life small leisure found
For feasting ear and eye, •
And pleasure, on hor daily round,
She passed unpausing by.
Yet with her went a sacred sense
Of all things sweet and fair,
And beauty’s greatest providenco
Refreshed her unaware.
She kept her lino of rectitude
With love’s unconscious ease;
Iler kindly instincts understood
All gentle courtesies.
An inborn charm of graciousnoss
Made sweet her smile and tone,
And glorified her farm-wife dress
With beauty not its own.

It costs four hundred raill’on dol ors annu
ally to sustain Grant’s onc-mnn-several-horse
power government. It costs another four
hundred million dollars to collect this first
needful sum. The same tax collectors that
servo the several States could collect all this
money, and it would cost the United States
only fivo per cent., or at the most ten per cent.,
or forty millions, and thus the plundered tax
payers would he spared annually the payment
of three hundred and sixty millions. But we
have no Congressmen, and Grant and the riggs
nre the government. As soon ns a bullet-head
ltttle jackass gets to Washington he is absorb
ed by the central forces, and absolutely forgets
bis State and people, and the wretched little
district ho is falsely supposed to represent.—
lie is paid from tho Federal treasury, and he
looks up to Federnl power for future honors
and rewards, and thus he betrays his people.
These- congressional fellows should bo paid
by the States they represent, and vacant little
heads would thus lie occasionally drawn and
twisted homeward after their merger into tho
Maelstrom of Washington political and social
life. Not only would the burdenod tax-payers
be saved three hundred and seventy-five mil
lions dollars annually, hut the forty thousand
idlers who collect and steal eight hundred
millions, that the government may riot in four
hundred millions, ench would add, if induced
into some honest pursuit, to tho public wealth,
annually, one thousand dollars. In this the
country would have forty millions more added
to the country’s wealth. In other words,
American tax-payers, for the luxury of sup
porting forty thousand loafers in luxurious
ease and idleness, are annually robbed of four
hundred millions of money—and not a Con
gressman has the courage to utter ono word
in behalf of reform, lie trembles before the
majesty of the ring that riots in wenlth need
lcssly wrenched from tho toiling millions of
America. — Appeal.
Envy. —Tho envious man is in pain upon
all occasions which ought to give him pleasure.
The relish of his life is inverted; and the ob
jects which administer the highest satisfaction
to those who are exempt from this passion
give the quickest pangs to those who are
subject to it. All the perfections of their fel
low creatures aro odious. Youth, beauty,
valor and wisdom are provocations of their
displeasure. What a wretched and apostate
state is tills ; to ho offended with excellence,
and to bate a man because wo approve him !
the condition of the envious is emphatically
miserable. He is not only incapable of re
joicing in another man’s merit or success, but
lives in a world wherein all mankind are in a
j,l at against his quiet, by studying theirown
happiness and advantage.
They .ileum Business.
They have two very enthusiastic under
takers in Camden. They ara always on the
"lookout fur businoss and always trying to get
ahead of eaoli other. Tho wife of a prominent
citiaen win known to be quite ill some time
ago, and both undertakers rondo up their
minds to provido for the funoral if she should
dio. Ono Thursday night tho husband drop
ped the paregoric bottle on tho floor, and scared
tho invalid so that sho gave a littlo scream.
Tho family heard somebody staggering up
stairs, knocking the paper off tho wall with
sumo kind of an implement. It was Jonei,
the undertaker, bringing up ono of bis her
metically sealed coffins. Ho had been waiting
on the front step, and hearing the scream, con
cluded the end had Iconic, and rushed in alt
ready. lie dashed up tho stairs as tho hus
band opened the door, set tho coffin upon tho
carpet, and exclaimed eagerly : “Giintno tho"
first chanco ; I’ll bury her for forty dollars,
with silver-plated trimmings.” Before tho
indignant man had time to reply, a noiso was
heard in tho attic. Prosontly Brown, the other
undertaker, appeared on tho third-story land
ing, and heaving one of his “incorrodible bu
rial caskets” down tho stairs, ho suddenly
slipped down tho banisters, and screamed,
“Don’t do it; I’ll plant her for thirty-eight
dollars; five off for cash, put a monogram on
the coffin, and throw in a tomb-stono."
Brown bad been watching Jones, it seems t
from tho roof of tho house next door, and’
would have beaten him but the trap-door stuok.
They were led away by a policeman, but be
fore they reached the corner of tho street
Jones had secured a contract for burying that
policeman’s mother-in-law when she died.—
Tho policeman was not particular about de
tails. “Only let it be deep,” ho said, “with
something solid on top to hold her down,”

The Deacon’s Dog.
It was a great many years ago, at a camp
meeting that Brother Higgins, wgood man but'
passionately fond 'of dogs, camo in one day
accompanied by a blaok-and-tan hound. Some
body asked him to address the congregation,
and he mounted tho stand for purpose,
while his dog sat down immediately in front,
looking at his master. In the midst of tbo
discourse, which enteitaincd Us much, another
dog came up, and after a few social whiffs at
Brother Higgins’ dog, began to examine tho
hind leg of tho latter with his feeth, appa
rently for the purpose of seeing if it v?as ten
der. An animated contest ensued, and ono of
the congregation came forward for the pur
pose of separating tho animals. His effort#
were not wholly successful. He would ecafeh
at the leg of Higgins’ dog, but before his Laied
got thero tho yellow dog would be on that
side, and would probably take an incidental
and cursory bite at the deacon’s hand. Broth
er Higgins paused in his discourse and watch
ed the deacon. Then he exclaimed, “Spit in
his eye, Brother Thompson, spit in the houad’a
eye!” Brother Thompson did, and the fight
ended. “But I just want to say,” continued/
Mr. Higgins, “that outside of tho sanctuary
that dog of tnino can eat up any salmon col
ored aniinul in flic State, and then chaw up
tho bones of its ancestors for four generations,
without turning a hair! You understand me ?”
Then the service proceeded.
A Prophet. —lf prophets are to be relied
on, the Pope is to triumph over all his enemies
and resume temporal power next September.
A French nun named Marie Lataste, accord
ing to a foreign correspondent of tho New"
York Herald, made various prophecies some
years’ before the present Pope was elected,|the '
greater part of which have come to pass, Sho
made the prophecies during tho life of Greg
ory XVL, but told the year he would die,’
which turned out as she predicted. She fore,
told Pius IX's election and his twenty-fift
years occupancy of the Papal chair, the perse
cutions he would experience, and h’S triumph
after three years of mortification. Victor
Emanuel’s trooraS entered Rome September 20,
1870, so the 2th of next September is the
date the Pope’s followers in Rome have fixed
as the termination of his troubles and his re
sumption of temporal power over Rome and.
tho States of the Church, Iho 1 apa* party
are very confident of tho Pope s triumph next
September,
A Georgia editor describing a wedding late
ly, said the bride “Looked a very lily, cradled
in the glimmer of some evening lake—a foam
fleck, snowy, yet sun-flushed, crowning the rip
pling of some soft Sjuthern sea.” If that
were really so, the bridegroom must have been
very much puzzled to know whether ho was
wedding a submarine conservatory or an Au
rora Borealis. —Boston Post.
