It was in a cmoking-car on the ‘Hudson River Road. A New Yorker was exhibiting an invention to several gentlemen, when an old farmer with a settled look of sadness on his face heaved a sigh and said: ‘I never see any such thing without wanting to weep.” ‘Nothing about this invention to weep over thatI see,” replied the inventor. ““Wall,it sort 0’ cal’s upold reco!lections.

They wouldn’t have it, They had something more sinple and much cheaper.” ‘‘What could it have been ?”’ “They spit on the spider !” replied . the old man, as a tear madea_ break down his nose and was swallowed up in the dust on the floor. A Prophetic Passage irom Dickens. The New York Mail makes an apt quotation from ‘‘Martin Chuzzlewit,” which applies very directly ‘to recent events. Americans have compla’ned with some bitterness of the country which Dickens-presented in taat book, but in view of the infamy of which the Democratic managers, Barnum, Randall, Hewitt and the rest, nave been ,gnilty in comnection with the bogus Garfield letter who shall say that the fol.owing is overdrawn? The passage is from @ conversation between Martin, (olonel Diver and Mr. Jefferson read Mr. Philp,-for Mr. Jefferson Uviek, Chairman Barnum, and for “She Popular Instructor,” Truth, the paralled will be seen to be a very close one: Pray,” said Martin, after some hesitation;} “‘inay I venture to ask with reference to a case I observe in this paper, whether the popular ‘ instractor often deals in—I am at ‘a loss to express it without giving you offense—in forgery? In torged letters for instahee,” he pursued, for the colonel was perfectly calm and quiet at.his ease, *“‘solemnly purporting to have been written at recent periods by living men?” ‘Well, sir,” replied the «colonel, ‘it does so now and then.” ‘‘And the popular srg tases do they do?” asked Martin. **Buy ’em” said the Colonel. Mr. Jefferson Brick expectorated and, laughed, the foaet copiously the latter approvingl yw wrens _ “Bay ’em gby hundreds of thousands,” resumed the colenel. We are the smart people, and can appreciate smartness*” “Is smartness “Ameriean for forgery?” askedMartin. — Children Smeking Tobacco. The Christian Union points ovt the pernicious results of smoking by young persons. It says : In one of the schools of Brooklyn a boy 13 years old, naturally very quick so bright, was found to be le, and he had nervous twitchin e was obliged to quit school. quiry showed that he bad confirmed smoker of ciga When asked why he did not gi¥e jt up, he shed tears and said that he had often tried but could not. The growth of this habit is insiduons, and its effects ruinous. The eyes, the brain, the nervous =. the memo.y, the power. of . application, are all impaired by. it. ‘It 1s nothing but a cigarette,” is i “It’s hing but poison.” German and French physicians havi recently protested against it. Anda convention of Sunday and secular teachers was recently held in io veg to check it. It was one over b eminent a Royal Eye go who stated that many diseases of the eye were directly caused by it.

It was in a cmoking-car on the ‘Hudson River Road. A New Yorker was exhibiting an invention to several gentlemen, when an old farmer with a settled look of sadness on his face heaved a sigh and said: ‘I never see any such thing without wanting to weep.” ‘Nothing about this invention to weep over thatI see,” replied the inventor. ““Wall,it sort 0’ cal’s upold reco!lections.

The passage is from @ conversation between Martin, (olonel Diver and Mr. Jefferson read Mr. Philp,-for Mr. Jefferson Uviek, Chairman Barnum, and for “She Popular Instructor,” Truth, the paralled will be seen to be a very close one: Pray,” said Martin, after some hesitation;} “‘inay I venture to ask with reference to a case I observe in this paper, whether the popular ‘ instractor often deals in—I am at ‘a loss to express it without giving you offense—in forgery?

Mr. Jefferson Brick expectorated and, laughed, the foaet copiously the latter approvingl yw wrens _ “Bay ’em gby hundreds of thousands,” resumed the colenel.
