Women and Wine.
Woman has never been asssoci

and disaster. The toast and the
bacchana! that, with musical allit-
Grafton, couple these two words,
! spring from the hot lips Of sensu-
! aIity, and are burdened with
shame. 4 man who can sing of
wine and women in The same
breath, il one whose presence is
; disgrace, and whose touch is pol
lutioA. y man who can forget
mother and sister, Or wife and
daughter, and wantonly engage in
a rcrcl in which the name OF wo-
man is invoked to heighten the
pleasures Of the Intoxicating cup,
is, beyond controversy and with
out mitigation, a beast. "Dost
thou think, because thou art viz
tuous, there shall be NO more
; cakes and aIe p Ay, cakes and ale,
if you will, but let it be cakes and
ale. Let not the name By which
we call the pure and precious ones
at home be brought in to illumi-
nate degrading feast.
Of the worst foes that woman
has ever had TO encounter, WING
stands at the head. The appetite
! for strong drink in man has spoil
ed the lives Of more womcu-
ruined more hopes for them, scat
! tered more fortunes for them,
! brought to them more shame,
SORROW and hardsiip-than ANY
other evil that lives. The coun-
! try numbers tens OF thousands
nay, hundreds et lhousands-of
women who are widows today,
and sit in hopeless weeds, because
their husbands have been slain by
strong drink. There arc hum
drcds Of thousands OF homes, scat
! tered all over the land, in which
