WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER ltl, 138.

SSIOKINQ STRICTLY PROHIBITED (CONCLUDED." " My college career was closed, and I camo up here to read for the bar, as you all know. About six months 8go, Amy Harris was stopping with the Ashions. with whom you are aware that I have always been on terras of great intimacy. Consequently, nuring the young lady's stay there I saw a gre-it deal of her; the fact Is, hardly a day passed without my spending a portion of it at the Ashtons' hDuse. The more I saw of Amy Harris the more I desired to seo 01 her; and as this could not well be without my givlcg her my name, I made her an oner; you know with what result she relerrcd me to papa. J apa, l was in formed, resided at Lesboroueh. a . small placo about thirty miles beyond Oxford. To Lcsborough, therefore, in a few day?, 1 repaired, bannz been preceded by Amy and also by a letter Irom frank Asbton (wno was well acquainted with Mr. Harris), saying that I was well on, ot respectable lamily, aDd, in fact, in every way a de-siirablo son-in-law. Mr. Harris was therefore prepared to receive me very graciously. I believe the organ of individuality to be very deficient in my brain, for I have always had the greatest difficulty in recognizing faces, and it is only after repeated interviews : that I become master of the appearance of my different acquaintances. I believe I make many enemies through this deficiency ; for people, I feel sure, ofcen imaeire that I am cutting them intentionally, when they are entirely out of my thoughts. 1 "On being introduced to Mr. liar . rij, who was a man well past the prime of life, there was something about him, 1 could not tell what, that told me we had met before, but the how. when, aud where of our meeting was gone from mo. I tried hard to tax my memory with the circumstances under which we had previously met, tor that was not our iirst meeting. 1 ielt convinced. Uut it was of no use the treacherous elf memory refused to render mo any assistance. I did not Tike Mr. Harris's expression; I thought ho seemed to scowl at me in a peculiarly unplca.-ant way. . He, however, gave no sign of having seen nic before, and our interview pro ceeded. J'iVcrything went smoothly cnuueh, Mr. Harris giving his con . sent to my engagement with his daughter; and I was congratulating myselt that the business bad been so natisfactorily transacted, when Amy's . tather said, with a sour attempt at a smile: ! "I must ask you one question, which I have little doubt your an ewer will prove to be an unnecessary one. It is simply this: Are you a . snicker? " 1 can even see the man's look of fiendish delight as he put the nues tion. I knew him then; he was my fellow-passenger whom I had so un ceremoniously caused to be removed to another railway carriage' three years previously, when he had raised an objection to mypinoking. He had immediately recognized me, and determined to pay me off for my want cf courtesy. 1 thought it showed the mean sneaking spirit of the man, asking me whether I smoked, when all the time he was perfectly well aware of the fact, instead of reminding me in a straightforward way of my former roeet'ng, and telling that he retained hio objection to the ums of tobacco. I 'iould have respected him in such a cue, whereas now I despised t him from my inmost 60ul. " For the first time in my life I was thankful that I did not possess the abiliry of easily recognizing faces; for, had I known that Amy's father aud uiy anti-tobacco fellow-passenger were one and the same person, I am afraid that I should not have had the c urnge to ask him for his daughter's hand. , "As lie had chosen to ignore our former meeting, I followed suit, replying, not without a good deal of anxiety at the result of my answer "1 certainly am a smoker, though not to a Creat extent; 1 hope you have no objection to the habit.' ."'But I have a most decided bbjectton to the tiLtby habit. L am sorry. Mr. Allen, that I was not aware of this f ict before you started on your jmruoy down here, for you would havo been spared the annoyance of a fruitless errand. I so mush disapprove of smoking, that I would not lor a moment entertain a proposal for my daughter's hand from any one who indulged in it. I presume that there is nothiog more to be said, and thit our interview may be considered at an end. I am Rorry you should have had all this unnecessary trouble. Gcd '"Oae moment, Mr. Harris,' I ex claimed. ' Surely this ned not be the came of any difficulty. Hathcr than be deprived of Amy, I will discontinue tmiokinsr; it will require a great deal of self-denial on my part tq break oil' the habit, I admit; -but I am ready to make any sacrifice rather thau lo.se Amy.' "'Oh! that certainly alters the oae,' he replied. lI was hardly prepared for this. If you will give me your word of honor that, so long as you aro engaged to my daughter, and afcer you ; have married - her, ( if such mirriiga should take place, you will abstain from ' smoking without my permission, I will revoke my refusal of consent to your engagement with Amy.' " I bound myself by word of honor that it should be so, and my engagement dated from that moment, lie had certainly paid me off for fumigating hitn in the railway carriage with ' a vet raiee. I hoped from his savin that 1 was not to smoke without hi couseut that he would occasionally give me permission to do so; but not a whiff, though I did hint to him on several subsequent occasions thae I believed my digestive organs were beconi'iDg impaired by the want of tht weed. "From that day to this I have never held a pipe or cigar between my lip? ; and this occurred two months 8R0i Aujy symPatbizes with me entirely, and, when we are married, we intend to set our wits to work to devise some means of circumventing the old man. I intend to make him remove his embargo as sooa as I can ; but of course no attempt can be made until the wedding 13 over; that event, by the by, I expect will take place in about four months from the present time. "Now what do you think of my father-in law elect? Is he not an old curmudgeon?" We were unanimous in crying shame on the old man, who had cherished an old sore, of his own causing, for three year, and then adopted this mean way of being revenged. We assured poor Tom Allen, who sat looking very glum, that he possessed ail our sympathy, and told him that we had no doubt some plan could be ooneoeted between us for making old Harris tevoko his decision." . . J5y the time that Tom Allen had finished hU story, , it., wast,, getting rather late, ' so our party broke op,

ifrWgfl

own abode. I saw Tom Allen frequently after this evening, up to the time of his marriage, and on every occasion inquired whether his future father-in-law's opinion had under gone any change; but the answer was always in the negative; old Ham remained obdurate. Tom always said "But never mind; wait till. we're married; I'll be even with him then." Allen's period of total abstinence from tobacco previous to his marriage continued lor about seven months and then, on taking up the newspaper one day, 1 saw the announcement 0 his union with Mis9 Harris. "Poor Tom," I thought, " I wonder if he had a pipe vet." Then I began t wonder whether he would succeed id his endeavor to overcome his father in law's scruples. 1 was inclined to think that he would, for Allen was a man of indomitable energy, ana usually succeeded in any matter he took !n KnnrI " , . I saw'no more of Tom Allen during the next three months, ior Dusiness had W.iinpd me out of town, when one day, as I wa passing up Regent Street, whom should I see but Master Tom sauntering quietly down the street, and, wonder rf wonders, be tween his lips ne: field a huge Havana. He had prevailed with Mr, Harris then, and was free to smoke when he chose. " Ah. Howard, old boy." he said " glad to see you; so long since wo've met. when we consider we used to see each other two or three times a week lou see I've beaten the old man smoke fifty cigars a.' day if I like." 1 congratulated him on the fact, and inquired what means he had employed for the purpose of bringing . his iainer-in-iaw to reason. " Oh," he said, ? 1 can't tell you out here, and to tell you " the truth, I am rather in a hurry at the present moment. I have to meet Amy at a snop - in Piccadilly, and. I'm afraid I'm rather behind time as.it is; but if you have no bettor engagement ior town,' and will favor us with your company at dinner, at six o c'.ocK; we shall be delighted, to see you, and I'll explain how I brought the father-in-law round to my way of thinking. i I promised to come on the follow ing dasjmu we parted Accordingly, at the appointed, time I presented myself at Allen's door. I was teach pleased- with his wife, a most ho?pitabM, pleasant little body. and 1 leu myself at borne with her at once. 2""i considered Tom had not paid too dearly for: the privilege of calling; her nu wife, especially now that be was at liberty again to smoke as hard as he liked. - She gave us an excellent dinner, to- which we did f ull justice f and as boob as the cloth had ueen removed, ana sue naa lett us to oursclvej, I reminded Tom of. his promisc'lo inferm me of the means he had used for Obtaining Mr. Harris's consent to smoke. " He ; laughed and, rang the bell A boy in buttons came in an swer to-' it, to whom my j host gave some instructions in a , tone that was too low to reach my ears. In a few minutes Mr. Buttons returned. bearing in his hand a metal article that seemed to mc to' be a cross be twoen a pair of bellows and a water ing-pot. ly hu master s instructions, the boy f-laced this curious looking machine on the table in front of us, and then left the room. 1 I regarded it for a few moments steadily, but could not make out what it was;! noticed a handle on one side of it, bo that it was evidently a rotatory machine of some description. " What in the name of all that's mysterious i3 that?" I asked. "That, my friend," replied Tom.v is the instrument of torture bv which 1 was enabled to cause my respected father-in-law to regard smoking in a more favorable light than he had hitherto done." He then pro ceeded to speak as follows: i As soon as our honeymoon was over, Amy and 1 set our wits to work to bit upon a plan for bringing her father to reason, and after a long consultation, decided: upon a course which wo thought would have the desired effect. Amy therefore wrote to Mr. Harris to ask him to spend a few weeks with ug , (he is a widower, by ine Dy;, 10 wnien request ne graciously acceded. The day before his arri val I bought that machine which' I see you regarding with such wonder. It is a fumigator for the purpose of fumigating plants with tobacco, with a view to destroying little insects whioh frequently congregate upon them. 1 also purchased several pounds of the strongest tobacco I could lay my hands upon. I then set the boy to work at the machine in every room of the house, so that the smoke became so dense that it was actually difficult for us to see one another. The consequence was, that on the day of Mr. Harris's arrival there was a most sickening stench of stale tobacco-smoke pervading the house, t had told the bov to ive the Led. room intended for Mr. Harris a double dose, which he: did. As soon as the old gentleman set foot in the hall he began to sniff vigorously; then he turned upon ine a most withering look, as much as to imply that 1 had broken my word, to him. He did not say anything to me, however, and shortly afterwards I left him alone with Amy. Directly I had quitted the roomjjdie tojdjne that he had accused me of having broken my word in regard to the smoking. She positively'wtatQdHhat I had never bad a pipe or cigar in my mouth since the day of my marriage, ana anectea not to perceive the ua rl 4a,n t-Pdpt per vadipgjhejiojise. I had civen the bov his instruc. tions, so f when I Imhg the' hell after dinner, he entered the room with the fumigator ready for action.. What on earth is that thing?' aseu ray iatucr-in-iaw. . v v a lumigator, : 1 replied. " 1 must apologize lo you, my dear sir, for having to make use of this machine; but the fact is that, finding my diges tion mucn weaxeneu trom not smoking after dinner, I have been uom. polled to adopt this substitute.- I am happy to say with the most fortunate results, tor 1 mur.h preler.it to smoking, and find its effects much mora emcaciousi 1 -hope it, will nof-causo you any annoyance. v ithoat regarding his look of astonishment, I then with the utmost -gravity, set a light to the tobacco, and proceeded to turn the handle of the 1 machine. Volumes of smoke instantly began to issue from the spout. ' lhat, then, is the cause ot the horrible stench which fills the house,' he said; ' the place smells worse than any tap-room in the kingdom. - "'Does it, indeed, sir? I asked, with the most -innocent expression I could assume.., 'J suppose 1 living po continually ia it we ar unabio to perceive it. . . , , t"tfie.w-r CKd tba smoke ascending leeillBg for a w -moments "d then began to cough violently? Seeing the effect upon him, I ,was about to offer to djecontinue ine operation, when he exclaimed-- , , " 'For HeavenVsake, TomTithrow that infernal machine 0ut of th dow,nd, if you must hare tobaccoemoke, take a ciar,' ; r ,

I 1 ceased turning the bundle bad hardly anticipated so speedy a conversion, i thought, however, u would not do to fall into his views too rapidly, lest his suspicion should be aroused. So I replied: ''I wish you had suggested this course to me some time ago, sir, for 1 havo become so accustomed to tob icco taken in this form that I now prefer it to any other, and it will require a greater effort on my part to dispense with the fumigator than was the case with regard to cigar 3. However, as you find it so very unpleasant, I will do my utmost to discontinue the practice, and solace myself with a cigar, my taste for which has now died out. I only hope my health will not suffer by the change. I will now, therefore, with your permission, take a cigar.' O, certainly,' he answered; anything rather than that abomination." pointing to the fumigator. "I had taken care, previous to inviting him, not to be unprepared for the contingency which occurred, so I at once took a cigar from a drawer, and forthwith enjoyed the first smoke I had had for nine months. What do you think of my tactics?" - " I heartily congratulate you on the result ot them,"! replied, "whatever may be my opinion of the means you employed; but we have left Mrs. Allen too long alone, suppose we join her."
