The Drunkard.

We take the following IrOm Lne
Jefferson Gazette. There is good
deal in it that we also endorse:
It may be that we are lacking in
sympathy for drunkards but we con-
fess we have but very little pity for
the wretch who not only sinks into
the lowest degradation himself but
drags his family down with him. We
remember drunkard who once lived
on the opposite side Of the street from
us. We never saw that man, drunk
or sober, draw pail Of water or bring
hod Of coal for his wife, pale faced
frail little woman. We have seen his
seven year old boy stop playing with
his companions and look as if he
would sink into the ground with
shame as his father came reeling along
the street. If such man is insane
he should be put in place Of safety.
If he is not insane he ought to be
dealt with as severely as possible. A
reformed drunkard said to US since, VI
had an unlimited amount Of sympa-
thy at home, but if they had tried the
opposite course think should have
stopped long before | did" We have
seen great many remedies for intem-
perance but never found anything
quite equal to hard labor with a ball
and chain.
The truth is, the drunkard is the
f most selfish man living. Even a bur.
glar will hesitate to rob his own fam.
ily, but drunkards do it very often
We have heard Of men who woulc

The Little Shoes Did 1t.

was called upon to tell how he was
led to give up drinking. He arose,
but looked for a moment very con-

man, in all his embarrassment, heard
this sound, and rallied at once. The
light came into his eyes with flash;
