[Translated from the French.] A Pipe of Tobacco, PUFF I. The Poisouing. Behold me nt the summit of my de sires ! I have just lighted my first pipe? I am a man ! If the chambermaid were pretty enough, I believe that I would put my arm round bar waist. Oh, that the world oould see with what magisterial dignity I puff?puff! Kvery five minutes I look to aoe whether my pipe is yet colored. Decidedly, 1 am the happiest of mor tals. ****** Yc gods ! what peculinr sensation do I experience f My head swims?my stom ach fuels queer.! 1 wuuld walk, but my legs shake!

I have barely streng*.h to lean my bead against the wall. * * * * * * Be tbf< rest veiled by the mantle of forget fulness ! PUFF II. A Father's Lecture. "The rascal has been smoking," said my father, entering the room with my mother, "and a pipe at that; he's got what be deserves. I hope he'll be sick for a \voek.'J "Now. iir," he adds, drawing aside the curtains of my bed, "are you not ashamed to be the slave of such a habit '? Aft. r tobacco, drunkenness, gambling and debauchery will surely follow. Yes, sir, K>:;:;ki?g ia not mcroly a habit; it's, a vice thai loads to the most deplorable consequences Tobacco is the father of idleness. It costs money?it estranges friends?il drives away buiinoisi?it ruins vlic health. None hut I oaf or a Ruiokc*. Yea, sir, if you go on iu this way. you will die on the gallows. Smoke again, and 1 11 cut you off with a shill ing !" Hereupon my father withdrew, and I heard him say to my mother as he went down the stairs, "I've lectured hi in soundly, at any rate. If that doesn't cure him, we'll have to give it up. Good by, my dear; I'm going to the club. Hut 1 must light my cigar. Where the deuce nrc the uir.tohes '{" PCFF III. The First J'ijte. There are two things which a tnau never forgets : bis first sweetheart and bis first pipe. Many begin with the cigar; but a pipo is more tempting, more durable, more luscious. A pipe like love, has its charming preliminaries?griefs l'uli ol poesy?its long and dreamy ccstacies. You search for a tobaceoni.-t's in some out-of-the-way, secluded quarter; you puss and ropass many times, but dare not enter. Filially you make up your mind and hurry in?boldly, but blushing. You take your pipe?yjti throw down your sou?you hurry out. And now. bow conceal your treasure?how bide it from all eyes '{ Heavens ! should i: be broken. On the morrow the same agitation? the same mental struggles to obtain to bacco ; then the pouch?the cleaner? the patent matches not to be blown out ?t he I inner box. It took mi! a whole month to procure those articles, and I was ns proud of each us of a battle gained. And when the great day arrives? when everything is ready, with what joy do you close your doors upon the outer wo?Id! with what delightful emotion do you kindle the phosphorescent flaino ! with what a fluttering of the heart do you inhale the first puff! Tbc cigar docs not give rise to all those ecstnetcs. I commenced with the pipe, and do not regret it, although ns we have just seen, the experiment cost me dear. PUFF IV. 77?! Smoker at School. And to think that, after having passed through till tho tortures of poisoning, one is not afraid to recommence 1 The fearful jigouiosof the first pipe or of the first cigar have never caused any one to hesitate before the abyss. It is true that, before venturing upou tobacco, ono has had time to prepare himself, nt school, by smoking all porta of substances, of the west sickeuing taste, and the most horrible smell. I myself have smoked, among other things, rose-leaves, rhubarb-leaves, leaves of books, pieces of clothes-brushes, and powdered coffee. One day I made cigarettes with the soles of old boots, which I cut fine with my pun-knife. n> The boy who smokes is ferocious?he is daunted by nothing: at school be would charge his pipe with the pounded bones of his forefathers. Pl.FF V. TIti First f'iijar. The cigar is a sign of great progress since the clandestine pipe, its predeces sor. The cigar indicates a smoker sufficient ly hardened, by a long series of poison ings, to be able to mako his appearance iu public. At the age of fifteen one does not smoke for himself, but for others. At that age YOU imagine that you ens ate u sensation on the boulevards?that the women say as they pass : "How well that handsome young fellow smokes !" You have a triumphant manner ol' holding your cigur and of causing the smoke to issue forth in jets, that is never found alter the fifleeulh year. At that period it was my greatest de light to suffer my cigar tu go out, and then to wait at a comer for some tall and dignified smoker?the taller and more diguificd the better?to stop him and say : "Will you permit mc to light my cigar, sir? May 1 trouble you fur a li^ht, sir V I remember with pleasure having once I made this request of a gigantic druui niujor, in front of a milliner's shop, in the lue Yivienne. () happy, happy time! () time of in nocent delusions ! PUFF VI. ?r Tin- witj?r of JitnttncijHition. But it must be admitted that the ci gar, although offering many charms, sub jects one, for a long time, to a multitude of inconveniences. It necessitates a perpetual dissimula tion?it is the cause of continual bicker ing with the various members of your family, who urge their objections at all timea and upon all occasions. "Alfred, you have been smoking again," says your mother, with an air of resignation and melancholy which would rend the heart of an U'Sassiu. "My good Alfred, do, 1 beseech you, cure yourself of that wicked habit," adds your sister; "it is so wicked to smoke." "The young gentleman has been cut at his first examination," ejaculates tho father?"he finds it more, agreeable to smoke his cigar than to study the code !'* Your grandfather, his nose slufled with tobacco, his shirt bosom covered with yellowish spots, is constantly de claring that lie cannot conceive how the young men of the present day can be guilty of so dirty a practice. All this obliges you to. at least, preva ricate continually, to swear that you have not smoked, that you do not smoke, that you will never smoke, and so you live on in this false condition until some fine day as you are out walking, or coming from the theatre, or in the country, your fath er cries : - The devil ! I've forgotten my cigars; what shall I do? There isn't a tobacconist's anywhere in the neighbor hood !" "I huppen to have a couple of cigars," you respond, timidly; "they arc some that a friend gave mo; they are excel lent, and if you will try one I A struggle ensues between the futhor and the smoker ; if the father accepts, there is an end to all remonstrances; If the smoker refuses, he suffers the mos? cruel of privations. The smoker at length carries the point, nnd father and son light their cigars fraternally'. The treaty of peace is signed. No one is really a smoker before this moment. This may be termed "smoking the ci gar of emancipation." PUFF VII (tf the Smell of Tobucco. This brings me naturally to the impor tant question whether tlu?re are any means to remove tho smell of tobacco after smoking. I have known mny persons to smoke two or three cigars aftor dinner, and then return to the drawing-room and convcrso with ladies, perfectly satisfied of the sweetness of thoir brelth, because they hud swallowed a cortuiu Dumber of | those little liquorice-shot coydfcjd with tin foil which are known as eacueux. Ohcrs swallow a handful of peperniint drops. Others again, with a sublime ooufidoucc, chew a few olovos. Respect thoir iunocent delusions. Rut it you really wish to remove all taint of nicotine from your mouth, take a toothbrush, a glass of water, hud scrub your jaws and gums for five minutes. But. you will say, one qan't always have a toothbrush and fresh water in bis pocket. Very true, then smell of tobacco! AUGUSTUS B. KNO\VLTON. Josh Billing's Papers. JEWS IIAIlfS.

Truth haz hardly clothing enough tew bide its nakedness. A pompous man iz like a full blown bladder; it iz pure malaoe tow prick| him.

Happiness iz not idleness, but its spirit iz az free from labor az the life ov a yearling heifer. Good examples among the rulers are the best laws they ken euukt. The Devil iz probably the best judge ov human natur that ever lived, and he must hav beleavcd in the doktrino of to tal depravity, or he wouldn't hav under took tew tempt the Saviour.

How Qu ken Victoria Heard op ?er Accession to theTUhone;?The Archb'shop of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain went to the Princess Vic toria at Kensington Palace to inform her of King William's death. They reached Kensington Palace tit about five in the morning; they knocked, they rang, they thumped for a considerable time before they could rouse the porter at the izate ; they were again kept waiting III the courtyard, then turned into one ol the lower rooms, where they seemed forgotten by even body. They rang the bell, and desired that the attendant of the Prin cess Victoria might bo sent to inform her Koyal Highness that they requested an audicne on business of importance. After another delay, and another ring ing to inquire the cause, the attendant was summoned, who ftated that the Prin cess was in such a sweet sleep she could not venture to disturb her Then they stid.

True, a dis tant one, but still a relation. The unerring instinct of nature thrilled its rclation.

When Professor Aytouri was making proposals for marriage to his first wife, a daughter of the celebrated Professor Wilson, the lady reminded him that it would bo necessary to nsk the approval of her sire.? 'Certainly," said Aytoun ; "but I am n little diffident in speaking to him, pray ^o and tell him my pro posals yourself."
