FACTS.

M. Cummings Il have observed in some
of your late papers accounts of the manner
in which drunkards have come to a prema-
ture grave. send you an account of two
cases with which was personally acuuaiut-
ed. They happened in my native town.
The two cases happened in one family
father and son. The father had been a
drunkard for several years. When he
came to town he always got intoxicated.
The boys used to pelt him with stones, and
throw him into the mud, &c. After going
home in this pitiable plight, and hearing the
faithful admonitions of his wife, for wears.
he took an oath, that he would drink nothing
stronger thar small beer, while she lived.
This oath he kept sacredly for more than
thirty years. He was often heard to saw.
he felt better, and was happier man, than
when he drank rum. But strange to tell.
on the very day his wife died, he began
to drink ! and on the day she was committed
to the grave he got DRUNK! ! And from
that day he was confirmed drunkard! He
had always been troubled with a cancerous
humor, but experienced very little incon-
venience from it during his years of temper
ance. Soon after he commenced drinking,
cancer appeared on one OF MS temples,
and consumed like devouring fire. He
was admonished to quit his rum, or he must
die. His answer was, die then must, my
rum will have He lived till one side OF
his face was entirely consumed and for
months previous to his death, he was con-
fined to his bed and scarcely able to raise n
hand. But if u person went to see him, the
first and only request was, do bring me
some rum In this state he lived or rather
staid for months, and in this state he died,
and went to the judgment seat of God.
His son early acquired the habitof occa-
sional intemperance. After the death OF
his mother, he and a sister who was also n
drnnkard, lived with their father. Previous
to the death of the father, they were often
all drunk together. One Sabbath some Of
their drinking neighbors went to their
house to keep holy time IN tcorShipping BAG
chuS The father soon made himself drunk
and went to bed. The sister soon follow
ed. The neighbors having ended their de-
votions retired, leaving one or two children
which they had taken with them as young
disciples. These childrea heard the son
