Evils OF INTEMPERANCE.-There
is another peculiarity connected with
it: those who suffer the most from it
are the most innocent portions OF aaa
community: namely, ladies and chit
dren, those who are most opposed to
Intoxicating drinks. The wives, the
daughters, and children are those who
suffer most.
Now, if this evil only touched those
who are engaged III it, doubt ii /
would comic mere to try-to induce Il
man 10 give it up, by convincing him
that he was inj u r ny himself He
might tell me, 1t is none of your Du-
siness; it is my own affair, and rests
upon my head.
But when a man partakes Of that,
he is either 4 father or son; he has
relatives about hinl.-wiie and chill
dren,-looking up to him for example,
and depending on him for support
He is thus doing an injury TO himself,
and also to others by his evil example.
Further than this, the class Of men
who fall directly by the use of intox-
icating drinks are themselves the very
best portion OF the community, for the
reason thai this evil is q social evil

Intoxicating drinks are red to It ldost

almost the age OF thrce7scorc and ten,

T he lost son, hurried to tic grave by
I strong drink, the appetite Ior which
was formed behind his fathers bar
and under the eye OF one who should
have been an example of better things
This grcy-haired man. if be ever thinks
\ must remember many an individual
who has long since filed drulkards

have been darkcncd by SORROW anG
d misery engendcred by the traffic il
/ which he is engaged. But conscience
n is stifed-the ruling passion is pre-
. dominant. Truly, the love OF mon
