A Sad Ending.

A few days ago the secular newspa-
papers reported the sudden death of the
Hon. Richard Yates, of Illinois, and
since they have without exception spo-
ken of the fatal habit of intemperance
70 which he was addicted, there can be
no impropriety in our referring to it
and to the lesson which it teaches.
Richard Yates was born in Kentucky.
Jan. 16, 1918. He removed to Illinois,
and graduated at the Illinois College !;
afterward studied law. He served in
the Legislature of his State several
terms, and was Representative in
Congress from Illinois from 1851 to
1856. He was elected Governor of Illi-
nois in 1861 for q term of four years,
and took an active part in raising troops
for the Union army during the Rebel
lion. He was elected United States Sem
atOr from Illinois for the term begin
ming in 1865 and ending in 1871, and
served on the Committees on the Dis
trict of Columbia, the Pacific Railroad,
Territories, Pensions, Manufactures,
and Mines and Mining. He also served
as Chairman of the Committees on Rev.
olutionary Claims and Territories. He
was delegate to the 'Loyalists' Con-
vention," held in Philadelphia in 1866.
! He was universally popular as law
yer, an executive officer, patriot, a
statesman and in every social capacity.
He had wife whom he loved dearly
and who lavished upon him all the af-
fection of one of the purest and most
unselfish Of human hearts. Altogether
he was one of the most brilliant men in
the United States, and was surrounded
with endearments at home unsurpassed.
But, alas he was the slave of strong
drink. Time and again did he struggle
to break the chains with which he was
bound, and there were seasons when he
did seem to have escaped and when
high hopes were entertained of his fu-
ture. But remOrse, resolutions of
amendment, and even solemn oaths,
were all Ineffective. An appetite had
been formed which only strong drink
could satisfy. He was in the hands of
a fiend who cast him down from the
high places to which the admiring null
titudes had raised him, and which he
was fitted to adorn, who made his home
a desolation; and who at time when
his power and influence should have
been greatest, consigned him to drunk
ards grave. His is one of the saddest
of histories, and it is full OF warning to
all to keep away from all that intoxi-
Gates. Touch it not, taste it not in
youth, and in mature life keep from it
as from a monster who revels in the de-
of both soul and body. Re
poor Richard Yates.-Presbyte
