There was our minister, the one wo had before Mr. Spooner, smoked himself out of his pulpit. His health failed and his sermons failed worse than his health. They wero so foggy that even Jlookertown, that never dismissed a wan before, could not stand it any longer Then it is a bad thing for morals. It begets a great craving for stimulating drink?, and very generally leads to their use, and when a man gets to drinking, ho is in a fair way to do almost anything else. What right have I to endanger the morals of my neighbor, even if I could smoke with entire safety ? Then I have got children and grandchildren, and I think the best inheritance I can leave them is a good example.— John would smoke if I did, and I should have more fears of his pipe in the army, than from all the bullets of the enemy.

" Your eye is darkened half the time," I continued, " by that cloud of smoke, and you don't know exactly what you're about. You waste time and money as well as bruins. It takes you about one I half* the time to load your pipe and the : other half to smoke it. And it is a great deal worse since you have got them big Dutch pipes, with big bowls and crookcd ' stem, than it used to be when you had that { old xtuuip of a clay pipe that lasted you five years. Then you only put in a pinch of tobacco, and you had to stop in about ten minute*, to take breath and charge anew. But with these big-bellied things, that hold half a paper of tobacco, you smoke and smoke, and it seems as if you never would stop. You make every place blue, where you go. You go out to feed your pigs in the morning, and it takes you twice as long to do that chore as it used to. You go into your garden to hoe, and you pay more attention to your pipe, than you do to your hoo. You stop and squirt around every cabbage as if it was covered w ith lice, und you don't do an hour's work in the whole morning. The weeds get a start of the cabbage, und your garden looks —well I can't compare it to anything else ; but ireth Twiggs in all the world—weedy. j You go into the field to work on the tabaceo, and the worms get the start of you, and what the worms don't kill, tho weeds smother, so that your tobacco fields look worse than your garden. I wouldn't have a man on my farm that used tobacco, at half wages. Now maybe you can see that I don't use tobacco, because you do." " Yes, I see," said Seth, " and Parson Spooner couldn't have said it better. This has been a dreadful season for weeds." Then I 4m the husband of Sally Bunker, and I think she has the right by luarriago vows, to a decent companion in life, with a clean mouth and shirt bosom. What right have I to make a nuisance of myself in her home, to scent her bed with this unsavory perfume, and to befoul her spit-boxes with quids and stumps ? I aui a little too proud to do that. And lastly, and to conclude, as Mr. Spooner would say, I expect to give an account of myself hercuftcr, and if I were to be chargod with the use of this weed, I should not know exactly what to say. That fifty dollars a year burnt up and wasted, I think would hard against me.

One very warm day, while seated in my office at work, I was interrupted by the entrance of a boy, the son of one of my clients, who had walked into town, six miles, in a blazing sun, for tho purpose of procuring a bible. He had been told, he said, that there was a place where they gave them away to people who had no money, and wis very anxious to get one of the books, and asked me to go with him to a place where they were kept. Anxious to encourage him in his early piety, I left the brief on which I wa*, and went with him over to the stand of a Presbyterian deacon who had the much coveted books in charge. 1 introduced him to the deacon, telling him the circnui8tanccs. lie praised the boy Very highly ; was delighted to see a yonug man so early seeking after the truth, &c., and presented him with the best bound Bible in his oollcotion.

Yoor tobacco would cost you thirty dollars a year if you did not raise it, and if you take into account your loss of time under the influence of the weed, it costs you four times that Hum. You stop to talk with a neighbor, aud it makes you long winded, for your brain is so befuddled that you never know when you liavo done. Many a man spends fifty dollars a year for cigars, and if one has a good deal of company, it is mighty easy to uso up a hundred. Your friend, who smokes, never knows when ho has enough. He always wants one more of the-same sort, and the result is, that your box of Havanas is gone mighty quiok and you can't tell how or where.

He who travels over a continent must go step by step. lie who writes a book must do it sentence by sentence. He who learns a science must master fact by fact and principle after principle. What is the happiness of our life made up of? Little courtcsies, little kindnesses, pleasant words, genial smiles, a friendly letter, good wishes, and good deeds. One in a million, once in a lifetime, may do a heroic action ; but the little things that make up our life come every day, every hour. If we make the little events of life beautiful and good, then is the whole life full of beauty and goodness. Edward S. Clarke REMOVAL. ARTHUR G. COFFIN, President. Charles Platt, Sec'y.
