Tobacco?A Word for it.
In justice, nfid as an.old and sincere
"friend, desire to say a word or two in
favor , of tobacco. Latterly people have
"taken* to abusing the divine * leaf, willi an
earnestness which, combined with.tho high
~v*- price of cigars, is ^alarming. Toltacco is i
one of the greatest luxuries of lift*. Many
? eminent men have been, and arc now, powerful
consumers, and it has a jiumber of
virtues to offset its imaginary evils. The
learned Br. I*nnc Harrow said it "helped his
r thiuking." Ilie illustrious pupil, Newton,
was aciftcely less addicted to "the Indian
weed, and everybody has heard of his hapless
courtship, when, in a moment of forgetfulness,
he popped the lady's finger into
"libJiuraTng pipe instead of popping the
' question, and was so chagrined tftat he
** n^or could be persuaded to press the mat
ter further. Dr. I'arr was allowed bis pipe
when, he dined with "the first gentleman
ia Europe," George the Fourth ; and when
Tefused the same indulgence by,a lady at
'Twhose house he was stopping, he told her
"qbe was the greatest tobacco stopper he
had ever met with." The celebrated I)r.
Farmer, of black letter memory, preferred
the comforts of the parlor of Emanuel College,
of which he was master, and "a yard
of cjay"?^therc were few meerschaums in
those days?nlo a bishopric, which dignity
. he twice refused when offered to him by
? . Mr. Pitt. IVnotl^er ^earned lover of tobacco,
and also of ,wU, iniKth, puns and pleasantry,
was tUe^ainons Dr. Aldrich, Dean of

*'A Scene of Retribution. 1
A picture, representing tlto. sale of a
<|uantity of old furniture sciziill* for rent, v
was ..exhibited Srtrno yqars back in the win- s
(low of a denier in the Place ,de"*la Mad- ' c
eleine, l'aris, and attracted considerable at- ; v
? ...: ... f.. .1 i* ... i i . !
i u-iiiiuii. in uic mregruuiiu was piacctl il I
| poor wnin.Mii holding in her amis a child, j "
and watching with a sorrowful eye the pro- *
I gross of the sale. The sweet face of the 41
| child stood out'-in strong Contrast to the I1
j distressed countenance of the poor mother. s
i Further hack were the persoiin<^-'"*conrii>c-" ^
1 ted with the sale, reptcscntcd with great '
vigor. The following is stated be a Lyons c
journal to bo the historv of the scene do- |]
pitted ! !
A few years sinccthc painter of the pic- j j",
uiic m question,an eminent artist at j?vons "
while passing through the Uuc des Ter- *u
reau.v, approached a number uf persons who . "
wore gathered together witnessing the sale ! "
of the furniture of a poor woman. A wo- i 1
man was seated on the . pavement, with a !
child in her arms. The painter spoke to j
her, ntul was told that the furniture which jc
I was being sold belonged to her *, and that (
her husband had lately died, leaving her ' '
! with the child she had in her arms ; that ' 1
j she had struggled hard to maintain herself
by working day and night, submitting to !j
every privation ; but that her landlord had
at length seized her furniture for some v
months' rent which was due him.
Tliearti.it was much alfectod by this sim- c
I pic rccnai, ntici inquired wno was lierjatul- "
j lord. '"There lie is," replied the poor wo- s<
I man, pointing to a man who was watching
the progress of the sale ; and he was
| recognized by the painter as a person who
| was suspected of having made a considerable
fortune by usury *, so that to make s;
any appeal to hitf^jlfeliiigs on behalf of the !'
poor widow would be useless. The artist
was considering within himself what other j
plan he could adopt to benefit her, when Cl
the crier announced a picture for salo. It "
was a miserable daub, which in the manner
the poor woman had used to hide the hole 11
in the wall through which the pipe of the
stove passed during tho winter. It. was i
put up at one franc. Tho arti$ti$at once
conceived a plan for taking revenue on the
landlord. lie went over, examining the
picture with great attention, and then called "
out, with a loud, voice, "One hundred 11
franca!"
The landlord was astonished at the hid,
hut conceiving that a picture for which so ^
eminent an artist could offer that sum was
worth more than double, boldly offered
200f.
"Five hundred !" said the painter, and P
the contest betweenj.be two bidders became
so animated that the prizo was at length ^
knocked down to tlie landlord at2200f. . ''
The purchaser, then addressing the pain- .
ter, said : "In seeing an artist of vour njer- 1
a ? 1 _ _ _ - * f ? ?
it uki so eageriy tor me picture, 1 suppos- ^
ed that it must be valuable. ?Tow, tell
mo, sir, nt what do you estimate its val- S
uo!'1 . 8
"About tlneo francs and a half," said the
painter ; "but I would not give that for it." '
"'Hint is true," replied lbfe artist, "and I .
.will tell y^u why I did so. You are in
f possession of an income of?25,000f. a year,
iiavd seized on the furniture of a poor awo- 8
man for a debt of 200f, I-wish togivo *
