Burrows was an inveterate tobacco5 chewer, tut as bis wife dettwts the-habit, so ho always chewed when away dar- ing U?e day, and" declared to his wife that he luid stopi>cd perma nently. iBut one evening, upon .entering ihe front door, and draw ing out his huidkerchief,'bo acci- \ deitly pulled out bis pnper*~of i tpbaceo, and -without noticing it, felt it lying on the floor. When Burrows Bat-clown to tea, bin wife waited in with the toliaccp in ber bund,'and looking Burrows firmly '"'in' the eyo, said : " Do you know wbo that belongs to ?'.' With great _ presence of mind Burrows turned scowling to >ki8 eldest boy, and "said, with a seyere voice, " Immortal - Mars : Is it possible,that you have begun to cbew tolwcco, you 'young reprobate. Commere to me, sir, or Fll tear the jacket olT you." And, as be spoke, the stern rturent made a grab at the boy and draggecj him into the entry where he chas> ' tised bim with a cane. Then Bur' rows threw the' tobacco over the " fence, where he went and got it tj next morning, and enjoyed it d ing the day. " Merciful Moses !" be explained, when be told us afxHit it, "what would I have done if my children had been all girls t It makes an ' old man's heart glad -when he feels that ho has a. boy he - can depend on in sneb emergen cies."
