the depraYlty OF uldu 10 OOllNViSahV,
none more alarningly evinces its moral
terpitude than that of lntemperance.
II would be almost incredible could we
know the pecuniary amount Of the i'm
mense annual expenditure caused by |
this nauseous, poisonous, and success
full recruiting agent of hell. And yet
it seems strange that man, endowed I
with a rational and moral nature,
should be addicted to habit, yea, a
crime, which is forbidden by God HIM
self, and which will ultimately produce
either pain, shame or remorse; yet
man, who might be ware Of the folly !
resulting from intemperance, will visit
the fashionable saloon, and associate
with wine-bibbers whose very breath
taints the air with which they are sur
rounded, emanating from the very
fountain of corruption, While intem
perance sits enthorned, it is no wonder
there are so many premature deaths in
this and other lands--no wonder that
the charnel-house is replenished with
human beings Of every age and sect
no wonder that the visage of the wild
owed mother bespeaks her disgrace
but it is wonder the Legislatures of
our land do not enact such laws as will
annihilate this vile worm Of perdition,
The thirst for that which intoxicates
is not one Of natures planting 1t is
selt-created, consequently if you ever
tamper with the sparkling wine, it
never will tamper with you; but if
the appetite for tits fairly created, five
cases out of ten the epithet Of drunkard
is certain.
Youthful reader, if you would wit
ness sorrow caused by intemperance,
go to the rclict, and if she is not too
broken-heartod, ask herto tell you the
cause of her Sighs, Of her weeping
ask her why she is so detected, and if
she can tell you at all, She may per
chance speek to YOU in language some
thing like the following
"Once | had a son--a son who
mlSn' nave won an en'iaole imm0r- nc,
