Pure Society.—How a young Man was “took in.”
When a young man is about to be “taken into society,” the question naturally arises, Is the young man, or the society, to be benefited by the accession? As the young man seems anxious to make his debut there, we presume he is to be benefited by the initiation into pure society.
EXAMINATION OF THE SMOKER.
Since nine tenths of the young men are tobacco-users, we will presume safely enough that this young man is one of them. He has used it from five to seven years,—sufficient time to admit of its becoming part and parcel of him.
The young man—“John” is his name—is before the examining committee, who, not being blind or obtuse from the use of the weed themselves, and knowing no young man is fit to enter pure society who uses, or has used, tobacco, without being purified, they submit him to the test, with the following results:—
“His clothes are impregnated with tobacco,” the examiner reports.
“Let them be removed and purified,” is the command.
