the dominion of the bottle that he was per-
feotly miserable when he could not obtain
the means Of gratifying his thirst. lie had
neglected his family till his wife's father had
taken her and the children TO the paternal
roof. lie had spent all his substance in
drink, and was kept from the poor-house
only by performing menial services for his
food aud by the kindness Of Thomas Edger-
ton, member Of the Society of Friends, who
had known him from his youth, and who had
strong hope that in the course of time he
would see his folly and turn again into the
right path.
lIoskins, the leading lquor-seller Of the
place, had let him have q drink so long as
his money lasted, but he would trust him no
longer lie was loungng about the saloon
one bright moonlight evening, pleading with
the keeper to trust him for a drink His
reply was sharp and unfeehng
" Not a drop more, Daniel
lie remained awhile longer, and then left.
As the cool air Of the evening fell upon him
he all at once gave utterance to his feelings
in the following strains
"' Not drop more, Daniel Am | drunk
or am | sober Not drop more, Daniel.
Did IIoskins think drop would hurt me
No but my money was gone. lie had got
all got everything | had-even the Bible
my mother gave me. lie has got the boots
which my wife, with her own earnings,
bought for Jennie. Not drop more, Dan
iel what do you say to that | say so, too,
once had good clothes, but now | have
nothing but rags Not drop more, Daniel,
