II is said that a certain insect and a cer-
tain biped are the only animals that are
fond Of certain weed, Tobacco; but with
this difference between their tastes-the
one loves it green, the other dried. The
quantity Of this weed that is used by
man is almost incalculable; and the waste
of money 10 obtain it is lamentabIe.
SupposIng one man to chew one plug Of
tobacco in four days,(which is often the
CASEY and to pay SO cents alplug for it,
at the end ofthe year he would have ex-
pended for that worthless article better
than $45! With that money young
man might buy him an extra coat, an
extra hat, and sundry extras and unmen-
tionables. With those articles he might
qualify himselfto shine among the ladies,
shining among the ladies he might get
married; and marrying, he might acquire
fortune. Only think ofitloo, less than
one eleventh Of il would enable him to
take our paper! SuPposing one plug
contain 18 cubic inches, at the end Of the
year the tobacco if piled up, would make
more than a cord, and if cheWed, the
spittle would fill hogshead; enough to
drown a man if he couldn't swim, and to
float him if he could-or enough to kill
forty thousand rattIe-snakes, or make
forty thousand cats yomlt = KckSburg
