It positively seems as if smoking had become the hobby of hob. bies. If any boy does not smoke, be is urged, entreated, coaxed, and at last almost compelled to try. In view of thid fact, every mother who esteems physical purity as an essential condition, should be on tho lookout to prevent any .intrusion of this king, tobacco into her dominion. Perchance some mother, sitting at home by her quiet fireside, innocent and unsus- poctlng;, may feel ahe la eafa and that th Are Is no need to express one's self strongly on the subject j but let that mother go out with het veil up and her eyes open, and see boys' on the corners, morning noon and night, as I do, coming and going from my daily labor, she might perhaps tremble a little for her own little cutly headed boy, and wish too, perhaps,' that some effectual resistance might be. made against the invasion of this insidious foe to' health and .

It may be a little thing at first, but it makes that boy a slave, a slave to a craving, morbid appetite, and 'I firmly believe is the first step In thousands of instances to the use of strong drink. ' This Is not an attempt at an essay upon tobacco,much as we despise It, but only an appeal to mothers to watch , over their precious offipring and if possible prevent any tendency to evil doing.5 Far ' better puzzle your brains to invent methods of amusing and entertaining the little boys , at home, .at almost any cost or trouble, than ; to tend them out to play ahdbiaye them' contract habits that are contrary to the1 spirit and genius of the Gospel and its tachings. 1 have freqaen tly heard the remark by mothers, I can do nothing with that boy; I shall turn Mm over to his father."'

The opposite, intemperance, Is one 1 of the greatest evils that inow exists In'" tho li world. Who could number the homes it has' made desolate, the misery it has caused? I -have often wondered; what ; has occasioned the most m Isery, and I believe that were they all numbered, we would find that in- temperance has been the greatest evih Many measatei havp been adopted to check t the rapid growth of.
