When we witness tbe aetcnidLiog amount of saliva poured out by inveter ate tobacco cbewers and smokers, we need not wonder tbat bo many tf tbeui bave dinpepsia. Tbe- ealivary -fluid is one of tbe necessary secretions required tor the digestion ot our food, liy some pbyeiologiets it is considered jnst as es scntial as tbe gastric juice- It is a most powerful agent, tbe active principle of which, when diluted to tbe proper degreo to bring it iutq contact with every part, some chemists say, is capr.ble of dir-solv big a thousand times its own . weight of any nutriment that is appropriate to tbe Brfittm. lo sunnlv Mm prtitrmoua nunn- -J ri v -i I tity wasted ty the tobacco user, the sali vary glauds are taxed to their utmost capacity, amol worked to dath ; and and then are only able to furoieb a fluid deteriorated in quality, and vitiated sali va must impair digestion. Dr. Good gives it as bis opinion tbat great evil re sults from the conveyance to tbe stomach of tobacco which is mixed with the sali va. Dr. Cullen says be has found ail the symptoms of dyspepsia produced by snuffing, particularly pains of the stora acb, occurring every day. II 3 felt cer tain that be did not mistake the caue 4f these from the fact that from the sudden interruption of snuffing for some days the pains ceased, but upon tbe rctuin of the patient to the habit, tbe paius also returned. ' Dr. Clay, of Manchester, Eng and, says it is the sole cuiie of a spe cies of dyspepsia, which he has witness ed in a number of cases, the symptoms being a painful Bcnsation of weight at the stomach, ag of some bard, indigesti ble substance pressiug upon a tender part. . CANCER. Dr. Warren, of Uoston, says it is a rare thing iiidecd to find caucer of tbe gums, tongue and lips in any but a user of tobacco. lie has, in a practice of more thun twenty years, particularly noticed this ; he has also noticed that when one aide onlyjva aff.-ctei, it was that on "which the tobacco, the cigar, or the pipe was habitually retained in con tact with tbe part. Dr. Elisha Dan-ia, one of the phyaiciana of the Kew York Dispensary, says that 'of six cases of cancer tbat have been nuder his care within two years, five were those of men who used tobacco. Druitt, an eminent London surgeon, and author of a, work on surgery, testifies substantially to tbe same general facts. It may be said that canre is a consti tutional disease, that it exista in the blood, aud that the ulcer is but its local expression ; and tbat, moreover, if the picdispoeiliou did not exist, iio amount of smoking or chewing would ever pro duce a cancerous ulcer. Granting all this, the predisposition might exist fur years, perhaps for a lifetime, or until Na ture, through some of the emunctories of the system or by a critical aclhn of some kind, should fiud meaus of removing tbe pnison from the blood, in a way less dis agreeable and lfss painful to tbe patients than through an ulcerous sore on the face, wliicb is seldom or never healed. But when a man puts a quid of tobacco or a cigar into bis mouth, Nature directs all her energies to that point, a cancerous ulcer is the result, and in a majority of cases, all hope of a cure is at an cod. TLus wc see tbat the use of tobacco first, originates various diseases ; second ly, it-aggravates those which owe their origin to other causes thirdly, it pre cipitates the development of those to which a predisposition exists, and which but for its use might have slumbered. And, besides this, Dr. John King, of Cincinnati, asserts that the systems of chronic invalids who use tobacco are by its use rendered, to a great degree, un eueceptiffllT to tbe action of the various remedies employed for their cure. Dr. Williard Tarker, of New York, says that although tobacco users appear to be as strong as other persons, yet when at tacked by disease they are found to bave less constitutional stamioe, and are able to.oppose but a feeble resistance to its onset ; while from wounds or iujuries of any kind they recover with difficulty, if at all, while other persons get well speed ily. Moreover, Dr. Parker says that in his practice he has never yet found an employee in a tobacco factory who was perfectly Bound and healthy. Anything which has such a depressing effect upon tbe vital energies as tobacco must necessarily render the habitual nsera of it fit subjects to be carried off by any epidemic which comes along. Statistics show tbat epidemics count among their victims a greatly larger num ber of males than of females. Of those who die of yellow fever, the proportion of tbe former to tbe latter is said to be as three to one This is accounted for by the greater addiction of the raaW sex to habits of dissipation, of which the ths laws. MARCH 5, 1973. using of tobacco' is one- This, taken m connection with tbe drinkiug of ardent spirits, tells tbe whole story.' Hitherto in attributing to this latter cause so large a shaie in the production of disease, the effects nf tobacco have been, in a great meosure, overlooked. It is only of late years, since the consumption of tobacco among our people has increased to such an alarming extent, aud its effects iu the production of disease bave become bo palpable as to be no longer igupred, that our physicians have come to more fully recognize its agency, until at length some have been heard to declare it as their firm belief tbat .t he effects of tobacco in lowering the general tone of the system, and thus rendering its votaries suscepti ble to disease, arc fully as great as those of rwu. Dr. Alcott says 'The German physicians state in their periodicals that of tbe deaths occurring Among men in that country, between eighteen and thirty-five years of agp, one-half die from the effects of smoking. A Paris physi cian says that six cigars a day will shorten a man's life five years. We are not yet prepared to treat this question with, mathematical strictness, but it may be regarded as certain that, however moderately one may use the weed, and however long he may escape disease, bis life will be sbortenoJ to some extent by SUCU Uo6. ' To BK COSTIXCED. As Awful Lonesome Man in Cali fornia. In the shanty, which, in Cali fornia's early day?, did duty as office for tbe banking, postal aud express of Wells, Fargo &: Co., in Marysville, there sat, oue Saturday evening, a misanthropic and dejected looking individual, whose long aud unkempt hair and beard, cowhide boots and rough dress bespoke the miner. For over an hour be sat there picture of despair, with not a word or a look from any one present. Miners came, left their "duet," took their coin iu return, and ex changed greetings with all present, save the oue morose mau whose apathy noth ing, it seemed, could disturb. Finally there entered a young ruiuer with a beam ing face, who, after completing bis busi ness at the counter, turned to the agent in charge and remarked that on the pre vious Saturday be had some dealings with the bank, "and thought that some mistake had been make iu his account. "Guces not," said tbe agent. "Our cash was nil right and I reckon we keep our books pretty straight " But upon the request of the miner that the account should be examined, the ac count was looked at, and it was fonnd that through a clerical error, tbe miner had paid just $50 to much. "That's just what I make it," said the Litter; "and here's your money." With! this he threw down tbe gold, and recier ed the thanks of the agent While this conversation was in pro gress, the misanthrophic miner had pre served bis look of utter indifference; but, when he saw the money actually re turned, his face brightened np, be rose slowly, walked toward the honest miner with slow aud solmn step, .and said : "Young man, don't you fee! awful lonesome in this country 1" A SEARCHER after truth writes to ask us which is grammatically correct, to say "the house is building" or "the house is being built;" "the street is being paved 1" There is a wide diversity of opinion upon this subject ; but we are inclined to favor "is being built," for tbe following reason: Sppose yoa want to express another kind of an idea, would you say for instance "John is spanking" or "John is being spauked ? The difference to you may seem immaterial, but it is a matter of con siderable importance to Jonny ; and it is probable that if any choice were given him, be woul select the former alternative. You assert, we say, that "Hannah is hugging," which by the way would be a very improper thing for Hannah to do, it would be positively scandalous, indeed. Precisely a similar idea is conveyed if you say "Hannah is being hugged," because it is tbe peculiarity cf the act that is hardly ever one sided ; there is no sel fishness about it. And it is the same wilh kissing. "Jane is kissing," is just exactly as we should say, ''Jane is being kissed ; and tbe sensation is the same. Jones and his wife were always quar reling about their comparative talent for keeping a fire. She always insisted that just as soon .is he attempted to re-arrainge the sticks with the tongs he pat the fire out. 0ne night the church bell sounded tbe alarm, and Jones sprang for his fire bucket, eager to rush to the conflagra tion. "Mr. Jones," cried bis wife as be reached the door, "Mr. Jones, take the tongs?" .. : Here is tbe last of a shoemaker, be yond which let no cobbler go : A lady complaining that the soles cf hf-r shoes were too thick, the' artful manufacturer said to her : .Is tbat tbe only olji-ctioa to them, madame ?"'

WHOLE NUMBER 1358. An Altbcna Eersha. . ' A ROM.YNCK CF I.OVE. From the Wilmington, (Del ) Commer cial of the lith itist , we copy the follow ing, the heroin of which, it will be seen is a resident of oar up railroid ceigblbf, Altoona : - It seems that a well to-do farmer, by tbe name of M , living near Altoona, Pa , has three handsome and accomplish ed daughters, aged respectively 17, 20 and 23, the two eldest being the heroin cs of our story. Miss M. the elder was blest wjth a W:!jjington lover, who was in every way acceptable to the fond par ents, and iu a short time it was said that both were to bo made ''one." Miss M., the younger of the two (and, it is said, the handsomer,) also had a lover, who resided near her oVn home, among the grand defiles of the Allegheuies, but not so acceptable to the "old folk" as - the suitor for the band and heart of ber sis ter. Finally, a Philadelphian, iu company with the Wilmington swain, vbited the family, and being at first sight captivated by the beauty of Miss SI. No. 2, he im mediately went to work, with all tbe warmth and ingenuity of a young aud ardent lover, to make the atUcbmeut re ciprocal. Iu this, by a bountiful profu sion of costly gold presents, be not only succeeded in alienating the affection of the j'oung lady from her first love, but gained the esteem and confidence of the parents aud friends. The star of the mountain was for a time obscured, and tho Philadelphian had everything his own way. It is said that "first love can never be forgotten." So it proved in this instance aud after tho first excitement of costly presents aud a brilliant, fashionable future bad lost its novelty, the feelings of the young lady agaiu yearned after him to the mountain born, and in spite of the protestations jf parents and friends bhe returned to Li? fond embrace. Things were now getting desperate, and it was finally resolved to send the young lady to reside with a well-to-do aunt in the western part of this citv, where she could be under tl-e rye of the Wilmington suitor for Sliss SI. No. 1, and near the '.jilted" Philadciphiau. The Wilmington hero was plentifully supplied with money, and instructed to ftwlio t J'oung I(J to Ojr lions. or any other place where oho desire! to go, care being taken to keep ber contin ually under tbe surveillance of some par ty who was interested in restoring the Philadelphian to his former place in her affection. Thus things went on for some time. The Opera House and other laces of amusement weie largely pat ronized, and the Wilmiogton gentleman was assiduous in bis attentions, until Miss SI. No. 1 became jealous of ths at tentions of her lover to her sister. In this complication of affairs, explan ations were unavoidable, aud worse than confusion was tbe result. The exiled young lady determined to assert her in dependence, and make a bold strike for liberty, which plan she successfully car ried out on Saturday, February 1, taking all her clothing and other effects with her, siucc which time she has not been heard of though anxiously searched for in every quarter. Thus the case rests at the present time, and, as may well be supposed, the par ents, who are now hero, and with her other friends, are greatly exercised, and not a little alarmed at the sudden and continued disappearanac of the young lady. The general impression now is that the bold mountaineer is apprised of ber whereabouts, and will eoou find the object of his heart's adoration. . "Mister, how do you sell sugar to day ?"
