life Is the result Rof intemperance,
that the mind of man is so crazed by
intemperate indulgence, that he, in
n's frenzy, strikes down fellow
creatures, and by the act blackens his
immortal soul to all eternity, and puts
a foul stigma upon his name that no
duration Of time can effaue or destroy.
How often is it the case that the un-
happy drunkard, whose conscience
cannot bear the weight of his misor.

tence by violence, and sends his soul
