enlargement and support, II was, Of all others, the
Formed inebrate He said he was blessed with an iron
constitution, and his temperament was such that he

Zines shuddered until his head grew dizzy, at the
thoOght that sudden and unforeseen temptation

eiagger like drunken man, He had fet, and the

and supporters all around him. A kind word was bet
ter to him than goLd-it strengthened him in virtue.
dc could imagine how easy it for man 81
6ough's temperament TO fall away; but said he were
be thousand times fallen, would thousand times
pick him up, and tell him he was still man; bidding

The sentiment as uttered by Mr.. Hawkins seemed TO
