Temperance Sermon.

A temperance sermon of the most effectusl /
sort was preached in the death the otherday
Of friedrich Watson, who died in one Of the
New York charity hospitals and filled
psuper's grave in Potter's Field. he was
an exceedingly brilliant and well educated |
man. He graduated with honors at the
London University, and when he entered on |
the practice OF the law in England he at
once became distinguished, by his erudition
and his keen perceptions. He was too much
of Bohemian to stick to the ploddills of
his profession. and, being possessed OF some
means. he went On the turf, where he carri-
ed off various prizes as gentleman rider,',
his triumphs being attributable in no small
degree to his remarkably light weight AZ
ter breaking himself down in England and
financially ruined, he came to New York,
nearly twenty years ago, where the late II.
J. Ray nond made protege Of him. He
did some splendid work on the Tunes, and
several dramas that were successfully played
at the theatres. During the war he was an
army correspondent for the World and the
Tribune, and afterwards he worked for the
Clipper and the Industrial american. He
was so versatile that no subject, grave or gay,
scientific or matter OF fact, seemed TO come
amiss to his fecund brain. Among his notable
magazine writings was an article in which
he depicted his adventures in conducting
Lota Monies from London to Paris, at the
request of the London law firm with which he
was engaged in his youth. Another note
worthy prediction of his pen was on the life
of dssipated men in their downward career.
1t is curious that man who so thoroughly
understood the effects OF prolonged SPREE
ing could not restrain himself from the
course OF life that he drew in such dark eolors.
Friends aided him and found work for him
until he became the ideal vagabond of the
streets. In his best days it was said of him
that his pathos might be compared to that
of Goldsmith, while the purity of his diction
was compared to that of Addison or Hazlitt
And yet this brilliant man, before being
carried to hospital, passed four nights in
the open air, having nowhere to lay his head.
Had he not been a slave to drink he would
have risen to the highest distinction in what
ever branch Of literary work he might have
devoted his attention to.
An Irshman at Christmas gathering
complimented a turkey in the following
manner: "Faith, it's six hours since that
turker was walking around his real estate
with his hands In his pockets, never dhraming
what purity invitashun he'd have to jine
