It is tho youngsters we are after. The
puny, pain-faced boy who .is apoing tho
mn. There are also intelligent men
who have acquired the habit in their
young days and would like to quit.
Well, quit !
We were conversing with a business
man of this city on the subject a short
time ago aud he said: "I smoked
cigarettes for eleven years. Thoy used
to seem to hava a soft, soothing influence.
When I'd get up of a morning the first
tiling i wauted was to smoke a cigarette,
then I would keep on smoking them all
day. Just before I quit smoking them
I bagan to realize that I could not collect
mv thoughts on business matters and al
ways ft;lt sluggish and indifferent to
business matters. I felt that if I jdid'nt
hooa quit I should go crazy. I tried two
or three times to quit that is, I thought
I tried but after two or threo days I
would be saiokiug them again. I then
commenced to reason with myself ; and
I thought, now you have made a pre
tense of quiting, but you have not. Be
a man. Have som" control over your
self and quit. I did, although it was a
hard struggle, and I have never smoked
a oizarette since, and I never will again.
You might just as well smoke opi"m."
A cigarette is an elongated liluyia f
narcotic stupidity, and stamps the youth
smoker as-a conceited fop, and an elder
ly person as a premeditated chump of the
first water for setting a bad example to
those younger than hinis.?lf.
If a boy or youth persists in this per
nicious habit and don't die young, in
liu? course of a few yenrs lie is very
liable to have tha same complaint sis the
fell-jw who -had been sniffing snutf for a
:ni:nb.'i- of years. Hi constantly coin
;)!aiued of a pain in his h;a.l. The
;)!iy'ci.ms were puzzled but could offer
.to relief When he would "walk the
ttr.-cts his head was never erect. Some
times it would loll on one side, then
on the other. Again his head would be
hrown right back or else forward as
though he was in a eleep atudy. He
went to a phrenologist who said he. had
a bump beyond his comprehension. He
died. A post-mortem was h?ld, the
brain-pan opened, and it was discover
ed that the enormous amount of snuff he
had taken had coagulated the braiu in
such a manner that it resembled a base
ball and was in the habit of rolling
around the interior of his cranium mak
ing him very absent-minded. "
The only use for a cigarette smoker
after his death is to have hia body em
balmed, painted and decorated, then to
be stuck outside of a cigar store as a
sign, one arm outstretched holding a
package of cigarettes In the hand, and a
placard fastened to his shirt front on
which should be inscribed " Fools laugh
at their own folly.''
Evangelistic (Meetings
In the afternoon meeting forcible illus
traiions were given of different classes of
Christian workers.
In the evening service the excuses usu
ally givL-n for not accepting the gospel
invitation were considered. Same thirty

If there is anything in this vsle of tears
that givos us acute neuralgic pains it is
the negative who click, clickety-clicks
on our door-latch, and bounces into the
office like a Queen of the Mist in some
billet scene,- gives his hat n toss baok on
his head, throw? the reflection of his
gleaming headlights into our line of
sight, parts his aqacuUtors and displays
an irregular row of colored pinno flats,
as he shouts in idiotic gloj, "Well, how
do we stand this morning?" The pious
editor who has been perusing an ohtru.se,
scientific w.'rk about cocanuts, entitled,
"The kernel, or the affinity of the nut
and the shell," meekly replies, "fairly."
"Fairly, be darned!" shouts his tormen
ter, "Don't you know they've beat us by
thirty thousand, I did think the boys
would have managed to beat the solid
South, but it don't look like it. Ah! me,
Oh! O!" And with one leg crossed over
the other, and fingers of both hands in
terlinked to hold them in that position,
he sways his body backwards and for
wards as he stares the stove cut of coun
tenance, and stamps one foot on tho
floor to keep time to some melody that
was dug up at Pompeii, occasionally
glaring round at us as wo write this arti

In another moment he jumjis to his
feet and howls, "Conkling's dead." No
response. "Chief-Justice Waite is dead."
Still silent. "All the groat men are dy

missive and writing his obituary notice.

while the stays are so arranged that they will give support to the back
and spine and in nowise interfere with the freedom and comfort
of the wearer. The weight of the clothing is tramferred from tho
hips to the shoulders by means of the shoulder-straps, which are ad
justable to suit any form or length of waist.
