! These taverns are apt to complain and say
we do them an injury, because we shared our
money for the support of our families. Quite
viIiainous TO be sure And so they charge us
with drinking little but tell you we keep
close watch of each other; we are very loving
and we take good care TO get along side Of the
mouth, and know pretty well what has been
going on there.
As was going to tell you the tsverner said
to the member, 1T appears to me you don't alter
| quite 80 much as some Of the rest DON'T l.
said he, well, why don't Ir-'Why, you don't
look pale, you grow yALLAR.' Il grow yaar
you thinkr Yes well said the man draw
ing out handful Of gold pieces from his pantO-
| looms pocket these look yallar too, but you
don't get any more ofthem, they belong here
returning them to his pocket-'and my wife
will have hem--that is the trouble with you.
| These grog sellers know how to fix the drunk
ards--they understand their business-they
keepa platter Of salt fsh--cheese, herring and
crackers TO fix the appette-all free--don't
ask anything of course for them but when
! they see a man take hold and eat little, they
think they have him, he'll want to wash it
| down he'll get started and he'll do well G.
nough yet Well, the stuff is very apt to
stick in the throat, so it was washed down; and
the breath must be changed, and little more
fish or cheese is taken, and that must be wash
ed out of the throat, and so it goes But if a
man eats and don't drink, he is pretty sure to
be told that that will not do.
This drinking has killed more men, women
and children, than war pcstilence, and all other
evils together You cannot bring upon man so
awful a curse as alchohol it cannot be done
no machinery or invention of death can work
like it. Is there moderate drinker who says
he can use "a little or 'much,' and quit when
he peascs = l tell you from experience he
can't do it. Well he can file tciN, but HE
WON'T WILL, that is the difficulty and there is
the fatal mistake. Does he want 10 know
accustomed morning btters, or his eleven o.
clock, to morrow, and he will find how he loves
1t! we have come up out oil the gutter to
tell him he loves it, and how he can escape.
