Cape May Wave, August nj.
shameful story WAS heen related to us
of minister Of the gospel being dis
covered i'll All intoxicated condition day
before yesterday, and that here Mt Cape
May. Our informant had forgotten the
pentlemdn's rame, but we have the name
of the charge TO which he belongs, and
the denomination, but which we deem best
to withhold for prudential reasons. He
came to Congress Hall bar, asking for
whisky which YVES refused him A little
hoy, his son, about seven or eight years of
age was with him ard manifested the
greatest uncaSiness and frequently crying,
rs he realized the shameful condition of
his father. Being positively refused his
dram, he visited neighboring store
and purchased bottle of liquoI.
Going back to the bar he
poured out glassful when the harkeeper
unceremoniously removed from the
counter both bottle and glass before he
could drain the latter, and placed them
beyono his reach. He vowed all sorts of
vengeance, but j. L. Smith, OF the office,
interested himself in the case for the little
boys sake. and succeeded in getting him
to the 4.45 p. m. train and started him for
home. The train, however, did not stop
at the station to which the degraded
person was destined, and Conductor
Sparks took them to the next station
beyond, where he inquired of persons
about the depot if the drunken man was
really minister from the next settlement
below, and they answered that he was.
Mr.. Smith, before leaving the party at the
depot, placed sum of money in the handi
of the child, eonsoled him the best h'
could, and advised him to stay with som,
one he knew in the town where they wer,
to be left and send word down to hi
mother.
Such is the story as told to US, one tina
will awaken serious reflections in the mind
of many of our readers. We feel yer,
kindly towards Nh. Smith, for he hs
proven himself man of sterling part
and active warm.h .heartedness. We don
kn ow who sold the man the bottle OF rum
but The gentleman who removed it out o
his way is deserving of credit. He, toe
did good deed.
