Ths Old Kaa in t&e Modal Church. .
1Y lOHX H,)YATIM.
Well, wife, I've found the model church ! I
worshipped there to-day !
It made ne think of good old time before
my hair wae gray.
The meetin' house waa fixed np mora than
they were years ago,
But then I felt when I went in it wasn't bnilt
for show.
The sexton didn't teat me away back by the
door :
He knew that I was old and deaf, as well at
old and poor ;
He must have been a Christian, for hs led me
through
The long aisle of that eriwded church to find
a place and pew.
I wieh you'd heard that singin' ; it had the
old time ring.
The preacher said, with trumpet voice, 'Let
all the people ting 1'
The tune was Coronation, and the nutio ap-
weH rolled,
Till I thought I heard the angels striking all
their harps of gold.
My deafness teemed to melt away ; my spirit
caught the fire ;
I joined my feeble, trembling voice with that
melodious choir.
And sang as in my youthful days, 'Let angels
prostrate fall ;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him
Lard of all.'
I tell you, wife, it did ma good to ting tLat
hymn once more ;
I felt like some wrecked mariner who gett a
glimpse of shore ;
I almost wanted to lay down this weather
beaten form.
And anchor in the bleised port forever from
the st ora.
The J reach in'! Well, I can't just tell all
the preacher taid ;
I know it wasn't written ; I know it wasn't
read.
He hadn't time to read it, for the lightnia' of
his eye
Went flashing 'long from pew to pew, nor
passed a sinner by.
The sermon wasn't flowery, 'twas simple gos
pel truth ;
It fitted poor old men like me ; it fitted hope
ful youth.
'Twas full of consolation for weary hearts
that bleed ;
'Twas full of invitations, to Christ, and not to
creed.
The preacher made tin bideoue ia Gentiles
and in Jews; - ,
He shot the golden sentences down in the
finest pews.
And though I can't see very well I saw the
falling tear
That told me bell was someways off, and hea
ven very near.
Hew twitt the golden moments fled within
that holy place ;
How brightly beamed the light of heaven
from every happy face.
Again I longed for that tweet time when
friend shall meet with friend,
Where congregations ne'er break np, and
Sabbaths have no end.'
I hope to meet that minister that congrega
tion too
In that dear home beyond the stars that shine
from heaven's blue.
I doubt not I'll remember, beyond life's even
ing gray. ,
The happy hour of worship ia that model
church to day.
Dear wife, the fight will soon be fought the
victory be won ;
The shinin goal is just ahead ; the race is
nearly run
O'er the river we are nearin', they are
throngin' to the shore,
To shoot our safe arrival, where the weary
weep no mora.

Tobacco Ztt Effects en tho Human
Constitution, Physical, Intellectual
and Moral
BY JAMES COCLTEI LA YARD, M. U.
COHTISCID.
POISONOUS PROPERTIES Of TOBACCO.
Bj a chemical procest we extract
from tobacco a colorless liquid alka
loid. Thia ia the principel to which
chemista have given the name, nicotine.
It is acid to the taste and smell, forms
neutral compounds with acids, and is
intensely poisonous in minute quanti
ties. By distillation we obtain from
tobacco a volatile oil, which has been
called nicoiianine, and which is equally
poisonoas with the above. One drop
of this oil rubbed on the tongue of a
cat will cause the death of the animal
in five minutes. A puncture made in
the nose of a dog with a needle dipp
ed in this oil caused its death in six
minutes.
Every man who uses tobacco is con
stantly introducing into his system a
portion of this deadly poison. If its
disastrous effects are not at once ap
parent it is because the system has
become accustomed to iU presence.
A practiced opium-eater will consume
eight or ten grains of morphine daily,
while for the uninitiated from an eighth
to a quarter of a grain is a full dose,
and from one to two graine will cause
death. That the quantity of this vir
ulent poison taken into the system of
the habitual user of tobacco is not so
inconsiderable as some might be led to
suppose, the effects on the neophyte of
his first chew sufficiently demonstrate.
frTA.A$VflrA
TBB LAWS.
FEBRUARY 26, 137.
In addition to the above, there i in
tobacco another principle still more
deadly, which is obtained by distilling
toe leaves at a temperature above that
of boiliDg water ; that is, by' tUrtntc
tire distillation. It is also developed
by burning the weed. Smokers, there
fore, get the especial benefit of it.
We refer to the empyreumalic oil of
tobacco. Least any one should think
that smoking is a form of Ming the
weed lest deleterious than the others,
we would here state that one drop of
this oil placed upon the tongue of a
cat caused the death of the animal in
two minut't with convulsions. A drop
brought in contact with the protruding
tongue of a serpent killed it like a
stroke of lightning.
Smokers get this extremely poison
ous principle in addition to the others,
which chewers and snuffers get. The
sole reason why smoking does not
seem to be so flannful as the other
forms of using the weed is because
this habit is not so steadily and per
sistently indulged in as the ethers. A
man can chew tobacco and attend to
other business at the same time. A
tobacco chewer ean most of them do
carry a quid in his cheek dui ing the
whole of his waking hours. But when
a man smokes other business has to
be for the most part laid aside There
fore the votaries of the pipe and the
cigar can indulge ia their favorite pas
time only at intervals.
We all know how smoke of any
kind will blacken a whited wall, or
the glass in the windows. This it
does by depositing thereon the fine
particles of which it consists. Chem
ical analysis shows the rmoke of to
bacco to be composed of salts of am
monia, nicotianiue, empyseumalic oil
and several gnes. Now the lungs
consist of millions of air vesicles,
which if spread out would eover a
surface equal in extent to the external
surface of the body. Every inhalation
of the smoke of tobacco taken leaves
some of its particles in J the, lungs.
From them it is absorbed into the
blood, and circulates with it through
every part of the system, permeating
every tissue, and poisoning its every
fiber.
That tobacco does lodge in the tis
sues is evident from the following fact.
The hydropathists have among their
processes one which they call the vel
iheH pack. The patent is enveloped
first in a wet sheet, and then over
this in blankets. . By this process
they claim that through the operation
of the principles of dotmote and exoi
mote, the water of the sheet is made
to enter the body, while at the same
time impurities are withdrawn there
from. Now let the habitual user of
tobacco be subjected for an hour to
this process. When, at the expiration
of that time, his envelopments are
taken off, the odor of tobacco coming
from his body, and from'the sheet in
which he has lain, will be as percep
tible to every one present as though a
cigar had just been smoked in the
room.
We might suppose that the constant
introduction into the system by chew
ing, smoking, tnnffing, etc.. of so pow
erful a poison would have a great in
fluence in the production and devel
opment of numerous diseases. That
such is the fact we have the testimony
of physicians of the highest eminence
in their profession, both in this coun
try and in Europe, and also the re
corded experience and observation of
other men of note in every part of the)
civilized world.
Dr. Shew enumerates eighty-seven
distinct diseases which are produced
by the nse of tobacco. We have room
to mention only a few, and that of
those which physicians are most gen
really agreed are either wholly caused,
or if they otherwise exist, have their
symptoms aggravated by its nse. To
bacco, as do all narcotics, especially
affects the nervous system. In speak
ing, therefore, of its agency in the
production of various diseases, we will
place those of the nervous system at
the head of the list.
NERVOUSNESS, AND TREMORS OP THR
NERVES.
That tobacco produces nervousness,
and also aggravates this affection
where it already exists, is a matter of
observation to almost every one. Sir
John Pringle, who was an inveterate
snuff taker, suffered greatly from ner
vous tremors, and also from loss of
memory, until at the request of Dr.
Franklin, while in Paris, he noticed
the frequency of tremors among those
who took snuff. Me was thus induc
ed to abandon the habit. The result
was that in a short time thereafter his
tremors left him, and at the same time
his memory was perfectly restored.
PARALYSIS.
A t least that species of it denomin
ated paralytit agitant, or shaking
palsy, which in its most prominent
symptoms may be regarded as an in
creased degree of the affection first
vV rrrA ill
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
WHOLE NUMBER 1355.
noticed, is frequently caused by tCe
excessive use of tobacco. Dr. Shew
mentions a case at occuring inrhis prac
tice. General Clinton, of revolution
ary fame died of this disease under
fifty years of age, brought by the ex
cessive tne pf snnff. At least such
was the opinion of his brother. Gov.
ernor George Clinton.
NEURALGIA.
This most painful of all diseases is
in many cases, caused, ."solely by the
use of tobacco. Professor Wood, of
the University of Pennsylvania, and
author of "Wood's "Practice of Medi
ciue," enumerates it among the causes
of this disease. So-does Dr Johnson
of England. In all cases it aggra
vates the complaint, and renders all
measures fur its relief abortive while
the habit is continued.
DELIRIUM. TREMENS.
Professor Chapman, of the Univer
versity of Pennsylvania, reports that
he hasjieen several cases of undoubt
ed delirium tremens produced by the
excessive use, of tobacco. Dr. Wil
liam, of Coxsackie N Y., informs us
of four cases that occurred under his
immediate notice in that village and
vicinity within a recent period. Dr.
Jackson, of Dansville, N. Y , says he
has seen and treated such cases. He
He was once a tobacco chewer him
self, and in a tract which he has pub
lished on tobacco he thus vividly de
scribes his own condition, into which
he had been brought by the tobacco
fiend : "My blood played through my
veins as if it were in a sea surge. I
saw all invisible things that were ngly
and demon-like devils in the shape
of old women, haggish and witch-like,
danced around me." If that is not
delirnm tremens, what is it I
BRONCHITIS.
Habitual users of tobacco are pe
culiarly liable to affections of the air
passages, accompanied with loss some
times of voice. Dr. Allen, of Maine,
says that tobacco has the effect to make
the voice harsh, thick and husky. The
testimony of Dr. Rush, whose inves
tigations concerning the human voice
were more extensive than those of any
other man perhaps who ever lived,
and who is consequently the highest
authority we could give, is substan
stantially the same. Dr. Woodward
asserts that loss of voice in public
speakers is a frequent effect of using
tobacco.
CONSUMPTION.
Non-medical readers may not readi
ly understand why many of the dis
eases mentioned in this paper should
be caused by the use of tobacc-o, but
we think almost any one can see how
it may cause consumption. The lungs
depend for the proper performance of
the functions upon the purity of tbo
air which we breathe. When a man
smokes tobacco, or goes into a room
where others are smoaking, how is it
possible for his lungs to get their re
quisite rupply of pure air ? The
breathe is the life, but when a man
breathes into his lungs an atmos
phere laden with tobacco smoke he
takes in only death and destruction .
That smoaking causes consumption,
we have the testimony of the most
emineut physicians. Dr. Rash men
tions a case he once had of consump
tion produced by smoaking, and from
which the patient died. Dr. Trail of
New York, says he has seen a score of
such cases. He reports one as occur
ring in his own practice, in which the
habit being abandoned for a time the
disease was arrested, but upon its re
sumption the disease returned and the
patient died. Other cases and other
authorities might be cited, but want of
space forbids.

Plowing ITndsr Difficulties.
Old Parson S., of Connecticut, was a
particular kind of a parson. One day he
had a man plowing in his field, and he
went out to see how the work was going
on. The ground was very stony, and
every time the plow struck a rtone the
man took occasion to swear a little.
Look here," cried Pat son S., "you
mustn't swear that way in my field '
"Well I reckon you'd swear too," said
the man, ' if you had to plow such a
stony field as this."
"Not a bit of it," said Mr. 8 , "just let
me show you."
So the parson took hold of the plow,
but he very soon had great trouble with
the stones. As stone after stone Caught
the plowshare, Mr. S., ejaculated, "Well
I never saw the like !''
And this he repeated every time a
a stone stopped his onward way. When
he had plowed around once, he stopped
and said to' the man :
"There now ! You see I can plow
without swearing. "
"But I guess it's pretty near as bad to
lie," said the man, "and you told dozens
o' lies. Every time the plow struck a
stone yoa said, 'I never saw the like,"
wbea the same thing had happened . the
very minute before."

Temperasc9 Question cf To-da7. -
The shops for the sale of intoxicating
driiiksjare so many, and the 'results of
their business in crime, poverty, and hu
man suffering so common, "fiat the think'
ing part of the community, is consider
ing something must be done to check the
drinking cuttom, and to save the young
men, so many of whom are pursuing the
same course once pursued by drunkards,
and are going swif:ly to fill the ranks of
the vast army of drunkards, many . of
whom are called daily from the life of a
drunkard to a drunkard's doom. We as
citizens, have a trust committed to our
care; we are responsible in a great meas
ure, for the crimes of tbe future drunk
ards, who are now the youth of our land,
if we fail to mak? nse of proper means
within out power to place the tempting
bowl beyond their reach, so that thfy
may become temperance men ; and if we
cannot save the fallen we may save others
from falling. By Local Option we have
pretented to us as vcttrs, whisky or no
whisky. Let tis vote as we talk. There
is enoegh of temperance element in
Juniata county to control this subject,
if we are in earnest, and nnited. Let us
take our stand on the side of the right,
and seeking the blessings of God and his
guidance, go to the polls on the third
Friday in March next, and cast cur votes
in favor of Prohibition.
"Vot? for License, and the bad trade
continues, the crime, and the pauperism,
and the evils you know cf, continue by
your help ". vote thus, ana wnen you
see the bloated, reeling drunkard, feel
and say, I voted for that ? When you
bear the oaths, and imprecations, which
come from our liquor places, feel and say
I voted for that ! When you learn of
the wifo crashed, the children ignorant
and imbruted by the father's drunken
ness, say and feel, I voted for that !
When yon see the prison and poor-house
crowded with the victims of the drink,
say and feel, I voted for this ! Fellow-
citizens : How will you vote. Do you
want the responsibility of the crimes of
the future drunkard, resting upon you ?
Do pou want to aid the rnmeeller, in mak
ing widows and orphans.jandjn scatter
ing ruin and desolation over onr land T
The only way to avoid the responsibility
is by working and voting "Aoainst

There is no time to be lost ; what ia
now needed is action. Speak outtboldly ;
think of some friend, whose vote or aid,
can be secured, call on him ; "Thiuk how
much a word can do."
"To him that knoweth to do good, and
doc til it not, to him it is sin." How will
you votk ?
mat Have I to do V;th It ?
"What have I to do with the rum

it ? Are you a Christian ? Can you look
approvingly upon the vilsst traffic which
even curses our earth, and which does
more to oppose the final rictoiy of the
cross, than ill other agencies combined
What have ynn to do with it ? Do you
vote to license this God defying, man de
