No won- der that my sleep not yery sweet The atmosphere of the little cabin was fairly thick with putrified animal matter and stale tobac- co poison Ill go on deck, I said to myself, in spite of fogs, raw autumnal air, and colds: so out I jumped upon the cabin floor.

Mr. Cu Tair, let me tell you that you are not bit better than that unutterably filthy cabin floor. Into what a foul, reeking, noisome cavern are you transforming the mouth that God gave you as @ passage for cleanly food and sweet breath! A spit manufactory: a mere tobacco-spit factory.

About a dessert spoonful each time. Twenty tablespoonfuls A tumblerfull That i3 a very moderate computation. Three hun- dred and xty-five half pintsin a year— more than twenty gallons of that nauseous brown soup—and just so much withdrawn from healthy muscle, close brain-fibre, elastic bones and clear complexion. “Everybody doesit?”’ What ifthey do? I knowit I remember looking down ‘hens ™ fifth story office upon Broadway, in the empti- ness and <page of a Sabbath afternoon, but immediately after its whole enormous length from Graco Chureh to Trinity, and especially near the Park, in my vicinity, had been dense- ly crowded with the multitude that waited upon the funeral of Bill Poole. The street was all epeckled as farasI could see, with dark spots, as if autumn leaves had been thickly strewn onit. A moment’s thought showed me that it was tobacco spit. An American crowd blackened the whole road- way and sidewalk of a mile of street, with to- bacco spit, in two hours! Chart ! My dear fellow, neither vemiting nor spitting are inviting operations, Circum- stances may render the performance of either of them before witnesses necessary, or even highly meritorious. But I must say, that or- dinarily speaking, the very faintest perception of common decency would teach you to avoid oe demonstrations when there is anybody in sight. Spit away, my boy! Smell bad; look dirty; be dirty; weaken your health; undermine = strength ; dim your eyes; unsteady your and; stupefy your intellect; shorten your life. Do all these things, if you choose; but never say that es had no advice from me to the contrary. Those are the trifling conse quences of your making a filth mill out of your mouth, munching your constitution into that ropy soup, and squirting it out whoreyer you go.—TIafe Illustrated. - + ee An “ IvpowrragLe ’’—Some six years since, says the Buffalo Advertiser, a young man from the town of Hamburg came to this ci in search of employment, and not finding any- thing better, engaged himself as a canal dri- yer, which business he prosecuted faithful! for two years; at the end of which time aspi- ring a little higher, he procured a situation as teamster at one of our brick yards, and for about a year was actively engaged in hauling brick around the city. During this time, it is not to be supposed that he was idle, or that his mind dwelt only upon horses and brick for shortly after we hear of him entering of our High Schools, and in a very short time after emerging with the highest honers Next we hear of him as Principal of a very respec- table Academy at Clarksville; again, he has taken to reading law, and varies its tedious- ness during the winter, by attending to the duties as Professor of Vocal Music, at ¢ Hudson River Institute at Claverack, within the last month we find nim gradua- ting at the Law School at Albany, and ad- mitted a member of the bar of that city. Sere name of the young man is Orrin L. Ab- ott. STAR. A SHORT PATENT SERMON. BY DOW, JR I will draw a melancholy discourse, this morning from the following text : ** Laugh and grow fat.’’ My hearers—I have lately thrown my cogit™ ating apparatus considerably out of gear in attempting to make out whether laughter pro- duces fat, or a good layer of the adispose pro- motes laughter. The conclusion I have ar- rived at is, that laughter is, generally speak- ing, the spontaneous production of an oleagin- ous soil, and has little or nothing to do toward adding aught to its richness. It is the natu- rally contented mind, my friends, that adds to corporeal fatness; and when fatness is once obtained, laughter takes root therein, and branches out and blossoms like sun- flowers on the southern side of a pig stye. Take one of your wo-begone, God forsaken hypocondriacs, the whole of whose self-manufectured misery seems to have crawled into his countenance, the very cast of whose mildewing eye is enough to reb all the polish from a pair of patent leather boots—let him possibly be elec- trified into a cachinating paroxysm, long and loud, and no more fat will gather upon his ribs than honey dew upon the sapless rose leaves of an old maid's bonnet. Why? Be cause the maggots of melancholy that contin ually prey upon his mind, are not to be frigh- tened from their favorite repast by the most startling guffaw that ever shook the quiet realm of cheerfulness. Take, too, one of your pale, wafer lipped, weasel-visaged skinflints who indulges in moonshiny smiles at the re- motest a ts of a bargain, and who is more redundant with smirks and bows than a dizowned California dog is of fleas—move him into fits of audible mirthfulness as often as you may, still he will be as slim as a shite- poke fed upon hair enakes, if he were to live long enough to be the grand-dad of all the little Beelzebubs who may happen to be born somewhere about the iniddle of the next cen- a! ow, my brethren, behold yonder happ mortal, with a soul wrapped up ina nek blanket of fat—with a hei plump and shin- ing as a pumpkin in Octeber—whose merry little optics twinkle like twin stars at the summit of Mount Diabolo—whose “ fair round belly, with good capon lined,’’ is an object of envy to all ‘-walking shadows’’ that staik tho earth. All of his ideas swim, like pre- served sardines, in the richest and sweetest of oil; every expressed thought siides out sleek and greasy, and the whole tenor and tone of his voice are like the inner bark of slippery elm. His mind dwelt in such comfortable winter quarters, that he never feels happy and cheerful. He feels so Goop that laugh- ter—not of your coarse, hcrse-fashioned kind, but the fine, short-furred sort—peeps out, ever and anon, from its fat fold, and causes every ‘‘varmint’’ of care to take to his hole, like rats and goblins damned at the morning cock-crow. What, my friend, do you suppose brought this laughter breeding human to the verge of obesity? It was not laughing either at stage or street forces; nor at the freaks and follies of a ridiculous works, nor at every new-fan- gled and odd fashion, that makes organ- grinders’ monkeys almost grin themselves into convulsions; nor hyena-like at the most ridic- ulous of legislative proceedings—nor was it even at such comical preaching as mine. No, it was the genial spirit of contentment that diffused a cheering warmth throughout his whole system—fertilized his heart, and fur- nished a good soil from which futur neous laughter was to spring, like the lion and mushroom, after a gentle rain and nurturing sun. He never drove pigeon-eyed peace from her domicil by sweating, fighting, and swearing for politics, nor wrangle flesh from his bones in behalf of orthodoxy, univer- salism, atheism, nor any of the vulgar isms of the day—nor kept himself as lean as Pha- raoh’s lousiest calf by chasing a hammered sixpence from San Diego to the Bay of Kam- schatka. By keeping in good fellowship with himself and his stomach—by maintain- ing good humor—meddliug with no one’s busi- ness but his own—exercising patience at the fitful blowing of adverse winds, and bound to be happy whether or no—he, at least, ac- cumulated ihe adipose if not a superabun- dance of the “ filthy,’’ and now mirth icspi- ring laughter will jerk itself out in defiance of morbid melancholy, sepulchral ministers, ominous doctors—aye, even the devil himself. My brethren: I like to see emiling counte- nances—faces wearing smiles that warm while they glow, instead of shedding a cold phos- phorescent glare, like rotten wood or stinking mackerel at midnight —smilesthat reflect none of the borrowed light of affectation, for design or intrigue. I also love to hear a respectable, mild-drawn, heart-born laugh, when sum- moned by an appropriate occasion; but as for an inveterate, clownish haw-hawing, horso eachinating habit, I despise it,am ready to howl at it, like adog at a fish-horn blowa in his ear. Your spasmodic fits of loud langh- ter, my friends, instead cf gathering an extra coat of fat on your bones, is far more likely to consume what little tallow may have been permitted to conglomerate in the region of your ribs. Excessive laughter, my heedless brethren, is moreover not unattended with danger; you might possibly snap one of the “thousand strings,’ with which the harp of the human system is strang—and then where would any more laugh come from? History informs us if my memory doesn’t trick me, that Timoleon the younger killed himself with laughter at secing an ass eat figs. So, you see, he snapped his fiddle-string, and laid down and died—like enother jackass! Take warning my incauticus brethren, and keep a taut rein upon your risible propensi- ties; for, in this comical age, far more dan- gerous sights beset the inexperienced laugh- ing philosophers than a donkey munching over a basket of figs. Some folks, of lish, touch wood dispositions, might jeopardise their lives to see you pitch into the 11 o'clock free lunch, or mark with what ludicrous avidity our public servants pick up and de your the people’s money, like so many geese at a corn crib! Keep up good cheer, my dear friends, let come what may come ; live temperately, that good digestion may wait on appetite; endea- vor, by your own jolly good nature, to make all happy around you, and you will stand a good ste to grow fat—and then laugh— laugh your way down the gentle declivity of the tomb. “Die a laughing,’’ for aught I care.
