Temperance.
A BUNCH OF RAGS.
A Timely Warning.

hne young man victim 10 drunkenness, aud
Tom had fallen into the mocker's power un.
Willingly, it seems
A new spirit shop had been opened close
to the foundry at which he worked, and he
along with others was in the habit of going
in for glass Of ale. When the cold weather
set in, he took something stronger, and he
imagined that spirits agreed with him. Time
went on, and the liking for strong drink in
creased and grew stronger, until at all hours
he might be seen staggering out Of the
" Rainbow, dizzy and stupo6ed with dregs Of
the intoxicating cup.
Toms was q very sad case, for he belonged
TO a very respectable family and had been re-
giously trained, aud until he was drawn in
TO the snare, he was an aifectionate son and
brother; and friends counseled and ministers
preached, and every means tried to reclaim
him, bat all effort seemed lost-Tom was
bound hard and fast in the invisible chains Of
the mocker His family nourned him as lost,
and many silent tear his sister let fall on
his tattered garments as she sat darning and
patching them.
Tom VS. inhtvted all agreed, but for all
that he was a iavorite, from the mansion to
the nearest hut in Airlie, and some good
people prayed for poor Tom Hall.
