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 am sick unto death?a
cold perspiration floods in}* temples. A
dose of peppermint, in Heaven's name?
a dose of peppermint !
* * * * * *
Too late. 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!

How Qu ken Victoria Heard op

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

was summoned, who ftated that the Prin

which Adam, the father aud head of the

travels, and thus records bis emotions at
the sacred Spot :
The tomb of Adam! [low touching
it was. here iu a land of strangers, far
away from homo, and friends, and all
who cared for nie, thus to discover the
grave of a blood relation. True, a dis
tant one, but still a relation. The
unerring instinct of nature thrilled its
rclation. The fountain of my filial
uffection was stirred to its profoundost
depths and 1 gave way to tumultuous
emotions. I leaned upon a pillar and
burst into tears. I deem it n( shame to
have wept over the grave of my poor

to him, pray ^o and tell him my pro

that Professor Aytoun had asked her to

"1 had better write my reply, and pin it

returned to the drawing-room. There
