In ihe house of. the drunkard there is no happiness for any one. All isluncertainty and anxiety. He. is not the same man for any one day at . time. No one knows Of his outgoings or his incomings. When, he will rise, or

 Poverty and misery are in the train. To avoid these results we are called to make no sacrifice. Abstinence requires no aid 10 accomplish it. Onrsown nill is all that is requisite. and five have not the will to avoid contempt, disgrace and misery,

 only half their soul; you cannot keep
 them down-you cannot destroy them.
 But for these the world would suon de-
 generate. They are the salt of the earth.
 Who but they start any noble project?
 They build our lcitns and rear our mans
 ufactories. They Whilen the ocean with their sails, and they blacken the heavens with the smoke of their steam vessels and furnace fires. They draw their trea. sures from the mine. They plougI, the
 earth. Blessing on themi Look to ibem. young men, and take courage; initiate their example, catch the spirit of their energy. Without life, what are you good for, fl 1t is passed idly aWayi We would ever measure thus, life's employment.
