TOBACCO AFTER PRAYER.

By Editor

The editor of the Norwich Examiner thinks it is not clerical to use tobacco. He says:
"Traveling from Hartford to Westerfield the other day, upon a stage coach, we fell in company with a clergyman in high standing in his own ecclesiastical connection, who was returning to his country residence from conducting morning prayers in this city. Passing a field of tobacco, we alluded to some of the evils resulting from its use, when, to our surprise the dignitary beside us commenced one of the most subtle, earnest arguments in its favor that we have ever listened to. We will not repeat his remarks, only that he concluded by saying that cigars were his daily delight, and that after the fatigue of preaching praying, &c., they were highly indispensable."
