'Lines on a Skeleton
This poem appeared in the Loudon Miming Chronicle
just forty years ago. A reward of fifty guineaa failed to
bring out its authorship, nor is it yet known.
Behold this ruin 'T was' a skull,
Once of etherial spirit full:
This narrow cell was Life's retreat,
This space was
• Thought's mysterioas seat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot,
What dreams of pleasure, long forgot.
Nor Eppe,,nor Loire, nor Joy, nor Fear,
Have left one trace of record here,
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But, 'start not at the dismal void--
If, , sooial Love that eye employed;
If . with no lawless fire it gleamed,
But through the dews of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns are sunk in Night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
'The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue.
If Falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise, was chained;
If bold in virtue's +muse it spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never broke !
This silent Tongue shall plead for thee,
When Time unveils Eternity.
Say, did'these fingers delve the mine?
Or with its envied rubies shine ?
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them. ,
But if. the page of Truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,

:viiiqher 'bare or shod,
These feet the paths of Duty trod?
If from the bowers of Ease they fled,
To seek Affliction's humble shed ;
If Grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned,
And home to Virtue's cot returned,
These.feet with angers wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.

Tobacco
Discussion at the British ASsociation for theProm6-
lion of Social Science, held in l Glasgow last Sep
tetiber, on the Influence of Tobacco Smoking on
Public Health.-
Sir CHARLES HASTINGS, M. D. D. C. L.,
read the following paper on this subject :
" theoprogress of this Association for
the Advancement of Social Science, its co
relation with sanitary science has 'been con
spicuous, and must ever remain , so. The
truth is, that preventive medicine is of the
highestimportance in connexion 'with ad
vancing civilization. Mr. Cowper's mas
terly address at the Congress last year was,
well calculated to awaken an interest in the
public mind on this subject. There can be
no, doubt that many habits and customs ex-
ist in society highly prejudicaro health, and
that, the alteration of them would tend to
the prolongation of life. This Association
Will well perform its duty byleadingthe
public mind, on these matters, in the right
direction. It is notorious that many active
agents are in daily use by the community
which act deleteriously on the system, .and
produce, in various ways, injurious conse
quences. It may be well considered one of
the functions of this enlightened body . to
point out the evil tendency of these agents,
and thus induce persons to study for them
selves the physiological action of such• sub
-stances, by which a more correct apprecia
tion of their action will be .realised. I may;
~mention as 'agents more or less poisonous
in •their tendency, which are, neverthelesai
*atensively'consumed in all civilized coun-
tries, tobacco, opium, and alcohblrr'a
tea and coffee may, though in a much less
degree; be considered so. lam not about
to enter into the arena of di.sputation on
these active agents. There is doubtless
great difference of opinion in the medical
profession on these questions. But all will
admit that .they arc potent agents,. and that
it-is desirable for the public good that they
should be used discreetly. The tobacco
question is the one to which I shall now
draw your attention. Few will be disposed
to denylhat at the present time tobacco is
extensively consumed by all classes of the
community. Still fewer will be disposed
to deriy that it is a very active narcotic
agent, that its empyreumatic oil acts most
deleteriously on the 'nervous system, and,
in a concentrated form, death speedily en
sues *mil it. . Professor Johnstone, of Dur
ham, as the result of his analysis, states
that 'the chemical constituents of tobacco
are three in number—a volatile oil, a vola-
tile alkali, and an empyreuroatic oil. The
volatile oil - has the odor of tobacco,
and possesses a bitter taste. On the
mouth and throat it produces a sensa
tion similar to that caused by tobac
co smoke.: When applied to the nose it
occasions sneezing, and wbe,n taken inter
nally it gives rise to giddiness, nausea, and
'an inclination to vomit. The volatile
alkali has the odor of tobacco, au acrid,
burning, long-continuing tobacco taste, and
possesses narcotic and very poisonous qual
ities. In this latter respect it is scarcely
inferior to prussic acid, a single drop be
ing sufficient to kill a clog. Its vapour is so
irritating, that it is difficult to breath in a
room in which a single drop has been evap
orated. A hundred pounds of the dry 'to
bacco leaf yield about seven -pounds of
!Ideals. In smoking a hundred grains of
tobacco, :therefore, say a quarter of an'ounce,
there may be drawn . into the month ,two
grains' or' more*.ef One 'of the most subtle of
all
known poisons. The empyreumatic oil
is acrid and disagreeable to the taste, nar
cotic and poisonous. One drop applied to
the tongue of .a cat brought on convulsions,
stain two minutes occasioned death. The
Hottentots are said to kill snakes by put
ting a drop of it on their tongues. Under
its influence, the reptiles die as instantane
ously as if killed by an electric shock. It
appears to act nearly in the same way as
prussic acid. Experience proves that a
large proportion of those who smoke or
chew tobacco, do so under the conviction
that it is always innocuous in its effects, and
often beneficial. Now this is a mistake
which the every-day observation of medical
practitioners can attest. For, amongst the
andwho consult us for various nervous
and stomach complaints, it will be found
that tobacco smokers form a large propor
tion. Indeed, we find, unexpectedly some
times, on inquiry, that the habit of smoking
is the source of very distressing ailments
which immediately or gradually subside on
omitting the use of this drug. It, is griev
ous to observe that this habit is prevail
ing among young people, upon whom
its effects are most likely to be prejudical.'
Strikingly illustrative of this position is the
fact, which has been very recently made
public, that in the competitive examina
tions to which young persons are submitted
in the military schools of France, the smok
ers of tobacco occupy the lowest place. I
may also be permitted to state that one of
the most severe cases Of epilepsy I ever saw,
arose in a boy of twelve years of age, who
had been for, two years a tobacco smoker,
which habit he continued after the disease
attacked him, and it was in vain that rem
e.dies were applied so long as the habit was
continued ; but after it became known that
he pursued this pernicious practice, -and he
was preiented continuing it, he speedily
recovered; and has been since kept in good
health.
We shall be no doubt told that thou.
sands pursue this practice without pro
ducing epilepsy, and this is true ; but how
many of those thousands suffer considerable
inconvenience and derangement of the
functions of the nervous and digestive sys
tem, without tracing them to their true or
igin ! If this be so, how important it is
that this great Association should dissemi
nate sound views with respect to the action
of tobacco on the system, and the open dec
laration of such a Congress as this that this
drug should be used with caution, and not
indiscriniinately, would not sail to do some
good ! This Association cannot interfere
with individual actions. It cannot venture
to give precepts as to diet and regimen.
This belongs to the medical .practitioner;
but how feeble is his voice, unless the per
son asking it is bowed down by disease and
suffering.
"But looking at this question in a sanitary
point of view, this Congress may point to
the - fact that the daily use of tobacco is not
a negative thing. According to the -laws
which govern the human system it is an
agent from which decided results are pro
duced, and therefore the community should
be on their guard. An admonition from
such a-body will come•with ten-fold'greater
effect than from a body of medical practi
tioners whose monitions find their way only
among the sick and those needing, medical
care, while we feel that what is done here
will permeate the community at large, and
will find its way to those who are %neon
sciously poisoning themselves by an- agent
of Whose injurious effects they are ignorant.
Sir Benjamin Brodie, in his admirable let
ter, published extensively in the newspa
pers, in a very sensible manner points out
the effects of this agent. He says :
"The effects of this habit are in deed various,
the difference depending Oil differences of
constitution and difference in the mode of life
otherwise. But, from the best observations
which I have been able to make on the,sub
ject, I am led to believe that there are very
few who do not suffer harm from it to
greater or less extent. The earliest symp
toms are manifested in the derangement of
the nervous system. A large •proportion of
habitual smokers • are rendered lazy and
listless, indisposed to bodily, and incapable
of much mental, exertion. Others suffer
from depression of the spirits, amounting
to hypochondriasis, which smoking relieves
for a time, but adds to the evil afterwards.
Occasionally there is
.a general nervous ex
citability, which,, though very much less in
degree, partakes of the nature of delirium
tremens in drunkards.' I have known
many individuals to suffer from severe ner
vous pains, sometimes in one, sometimes in
another, part, of the body.",
- The—habit of using tobacco - is -
doubt sometimes pursued without the prac
tice being found to be detrimental by -the
persons themselves, owing:to the fact that,
by its physiological action, it dulls sensi
bility, and relieves uneasy sensations, and .
with some it' would. appear to assist diges
tion when taken after a meal, but there is
much deception in this, and when we come
to examine those cases, it will usually be
found that sonic. injurious effect ,is being
unconsciously produced: In truth it is in
this very circumstance that the danger of
the practice' consists, for it: is evident that
the people are indiscriminately using a
poisonous agent, capable of producing plea
surable sensations, but productive in the
end of very baneful consequences.
How is this efil to 'be averted ? One
means will be, extensively circulating the
knowledge of the fact, that serious injury
is being caused in the community by to
bacco smoking, and 'the action of this As
sociation may effect this to a considerable
degrec,, by widely disseminating correct
views -of the effects 'of ;tobacco •on the sys
tem, and thus awakening people to a sense
of the . danger. The various institutions
that are now formed and supported for the
purpose •of oliffasing • 'useful- 'knowledge
among - ,the laboring classes, ought to, be
available to assist -in !this -work, if their
managers could be ,made , awake . to the im
portance of the- question ;'but "I fear, in

many instances, these. Societies are not
aware of the baneful action of tobacco on
the frame. If they were smoking' rooms
would not form a part of the'establishment,
whereby the onward progress of
,civilization
is proposed to be insured. It is a sad re
flection that it should be considered neces
tary to insure the attendance of members
as a Society, whose professed object is to
advocate civilization, by diffusing art and,
science, that there should be the means
supplied for indulging in the evil of
smoking, as in the clubs of the aristocracy.
This Association may at any rate raise a
warning voice . against such erroneous pro
ceedings, which must doubtless tend to
enervate our population, and eventually to
produce a degenerate race. Conclusions—
That the effects of tobacco-smoking are
chiefly dependent upon an empyreumatic.
volatile oil, and other active principles,
whose direct tendency is to act injuriously
on the nervous system and digestive organs;
that tobacco is extensively consumed by the
community, and its use ought to be discour
aged ;- that this Association emphatically
records its conviction that Societies. formed
for the.purpose of promoting useful knowl
edge among the working-classes should on
no account provide smoking-rooms :for the
members."
Mr. Thomas Reynolds, Secretary to the
British Anti-Tobacco Society, made some
observations approving of the views enun
ciated in the foregoing paper, and spoke
strongly in condemnation of the use of to
bacco. Ile defied any smoker to say that
he had continued the baneful practice of
smoking for five years without feeling bad
effects from it; and it was impossible for a
smoker to confine the bad effects of the prac
tice to his own body. He denounced• the
practice as destructive and demoralizing in
the extreme: r V
Dr. Pritchard vindicated the use of to
bacco. The practice of, smoking be had'
felt to. be ,universal, and 'therefore must
have some virtue. In the Arctic regions
he had found it gave comfort and solace to
the sailor, when nothing else could. He ,
had heard eminent literary men say that
they could not sit down to write an article
without first a few minutes devoted, to
smoking. (Laughter.) In the South Sea
Islands, next to a bit of vermilion, noth
ing given to a native could;make him feel
more happy than a bit of negro-heady
tobacco--(great laughter)--and :it was well
known that in the same country--there was
a most prolific population. (Continued
laughter.) He strongly condemned the
use of tobacco by juveniles, however.
Dr. Lankester thought the question they
were now discussing .was the influence at
the use of tobacco on the public health;
and, in dealing with it, they should, try. to
,be as scientific as possible, and not by one
man getting up and giving , Itis!opinion as
to Whether smoking was good or otherwise.
It was admitted that tobacco did contain a,
poison, but many articles contained poison
which were useful if properly taken. He
referred to a notice which appeared in the
papers the other day of the students of a
university who did not use tobacco carry
ing off all the prizes• from those 'Vile , did.
It was the abuse of any article, however,
they had to deal with, and if they were to
put away from them everything that con
tained a poison, they would put away
altogether alcohol, coffee, tea, and many
other articles which people might continue
to take for a long time without feeling any
bad effects from them. He could not agree
with, gentlemen, both in and out of his
own profession, who absolutely condemned
the practice of smoking, for it conveyed a,
certain amount of pleasure to him who
used it, and deprive him - of • this, he would
feel the want of that pleasure,.and life be
ing made up of, sensation, it was to be ex
pected that people were not to deny , them
selves certain pleasures merely because a'
complaint was raised that an abuse of a
practise produced..bad results. •
Dr. Morton urged that, if the use of
tobacco in many measures was bad, it must
be to a corresponding extent bad for - the
person• who used it.
Dr. Easton said :-L--This was a, question
which could only be settled by facts. He
had never used tobacco without feeling bad
effects, from it. The Germans, however,
were much addicted to smoking, and still
that country had produced some , of the
most profound men--the greatest thinkers
in the world. But these people, of course,
only used tobacco and did not abuse it.
Dr. Seyton had smoked daily for twenty
three years, and Dr., Lankester, who had
known him for twenty-one years, would be
able to say whether be was much altered in
appearance for4he worse.
Dr. Lankester—On the contrary, you
have improved very much. (Great laugh
ter.)
Dr. Seyton continued to say that he had
used tobacco, but, not abused it, and he
never had smoked above two cigars a day.
But he had not began to smoke till lie was
twenty-five years of age. He strongly,
however, condemned the use of tobaccolay
juveniles, on whose constitutions it was
most pernicious. He had a son twenty
years of age, and he had tried to convince
him of the evil of smoking, and was at
last obliged to' exacta promise from him,
seeing he was destroying himself, to aban
don the practice.
Mr. Reynolds said, , tliat while coffee,
tea, and other articles containing poison
were taken diluted with water, tobacco was
taken undiluted. ,*
Sir Charles Hastings said his paper was
a paper of facts of the most strong, nature,
showing that tobacco was a poison that was
most destructive to life. He urged that
there was nothing they should so strongly
discourage among their sons as the use
of tobacco. There certainly were a great
many philosophers in Germany, 'but'-there
were a great' many dreamy philosophers
there, and :thetobacco smoking might have
something to do with that dreaminess-.
(Laughter.) . •
Mr. Chadwick said that the conclusion
come to in Germany was .that the use of
tobacco in that country, was bad, „and tel

'From. the 'New-Yerk Observer.
• In the ;very front rank of literary and religious biography,
we place this admirable volume. It has every element of
--beauty, variety, usefulness, thrilling interest and• power, to
commend it to-universal favor.
Pronilhe New-Yorlf Examiner;
Dr. Kendrick has B 6 bulled and woven together the letters, '
Journals and reminiscences, placed in his bandana to make a
narrative which lifts.the veil-from every part of an intensely j
real and very eventful life. It is, from first to last, the his
tory of agenuine . human life, an developed in the childhood,
youth and riper years of a randularlyt gifted woman and a
history so well told, withal, as:to possess the captivating ;
power of a well-wrought romance. It will find its way 'to
tens of thousands Of j1011)ES, to tell its truthful 'and- eloAuent
tale of conflicts and `triumphs; and to impart new eoncep•
tions of the graces which-adorned, and the .principles which
governed a character-whose "delicate and: beautiful genius* I
won the admiration of the most cultivated minds.
. Prent'the :New-York Independent.
A memoir of Idrs. Emily C. Judson, unfolding her inner
spiritual life, and recording her- experiences in. the mission-
ary field, was due equally to the Fanny Forrester of the Mag
azine world, and to the' saintly apostle ot'Burmah. * *
We are' glad that the commemoration of inch a-character de
' 'salved upen oneurhose Combined areas of scholarship and
Christian zeal qualify him to apPreciate the • subject of
his Memoir; and to,delineate her life under all its,phases.
The literary attractions of the volume are many and various;
but its one impremicin is that Christ hi all.

complicated machines, designed for heavy work,
the purpose very. well; while there are
mechanism and delimtte djustments, which perterin
work to advantage ; and while the former ;„.,
