AN Essay ON DRINKING. The Carson In
dependent, which has made some statements
an connection with the alleged social habits
of candidate for the United States Senate
from Nevada, thus philosophers on the mo-
rality and reserved rights of tipping the
glass:
owe don't think that getting sprung,
tight intoxicated drunk, or under the
influence of liquor occasionally, is a sin
of such magnitude as to call forth any great
degree of condemRati@R. But when a man
acquires habit that totally disgua!ifes him
from attending to his duties and renders him
unreliable and Trustworthy, it is very differ
entthing. He may have the best intentions
in the world, but that habit is sure to trip him
mp and defeat his efforts. Now, old Noah
who was the only gust man in NineVah-made
very good boatman, and nayigated his Ark
to the perfect satisfaction of the public gen.
orally, especially of the present generation.
In fact, there wouldn't have been much of a
public nowadays if he hadn't. But after
the long trip he found it rather dusty, and
drank more wine than his head could staRd.
srhe truth is, he got drunk and did naughty
things. But for all that he was good nayi-
gator, and brought his vessel safe to port. 1t
does not make much difference how often
man drinks, so he does his duty, and can be
relied upon in an emergenoy. At che same
time we make no apology for the coRduot OF
MIR. Noah.
