A fact came to our knowledge yesterday which
marks Booze as one Of those Of whom the Bible
says, "he is worse than an lnfdel." He has Z
boy aged IS, but he does not look more thar
10, whom he has permitted to float arount
here and there as best he could, and who being
deprived OF home, came to Byers some two
or three months ago, where he staid until few
days since when his father, because the DO,
could not supply wood for the whole family
ordered MN to leave and drove him out Il
shift for himself, with nothing but an old pal
Of boots on his feet through which his toes
projected on to the frozen ground as he walked
In this condition, by the advice OF pityint
strangers, he applied to Supervisor Heath o
Arlington, who brought him to Bangor and Mr.
A. Van Auken, after supplying him with boot
and socks sent him to the poorhouse yester
day. Booze Is stout, healthy man, and /
abundantly able to provide for the boy by thu
work of his hands, and certainly no true chris
tan would allow himself to eat the bread o
ideness" month after month IN the name o
religion, when his own child was homeless ant
almost naked, and has finally to befared for b
the County. 1t is no excuse that as Booze
friends assert, the boy is obstinate and lazy
Five years OF buffeting with the world and o
parental neglect would make any boy Of hi
age morose and saucy, and this plea only IKE
the blame more firmly noon his unworth
father. Such men work n damage to chris
tanity than two professol infdels.-Bango
Reflector.
