A Drunkard's Death.

Mr.. Mabon, at temperance meet
ing, narrated the following 81 late
ly visited a dying man, and although
/ have seen many men and women
dying, never saw one so terrible as
this. He was strong young man,
who loved his beer, and INDUCED in
it to intoxcation very frequently. l
spoke TO him about his soul one day,
and in an alarmed and startled tone
he asked, DO you think | am going
to die soon?' | said, No, my friend,
| do not; but you had better prepare
for eternity now Very shortly af-
terward he was really seized with a
fatal sickness. Having been assured
by the doctor that he could not pos
sibly recover, he sent for me. l
reached his house at half-past three
in the afternoon, and stayed with
the poor fellow till half-past one
next morning. During those long
hours his shrieks of despair, alter.
mating with cries for mercy, were
dreadful, and sometimes they ring
in ears even yet. When / pointed
out the way Of salvation to him, and
spoke Of Christ's love aud of his
willingness to save, he replied, / re-
fused to listen in time. There was
a prayer meeting held regularly in
the very house where | lodged, but
| refused to have anything to do
with it. | have refused Christ again
and again, and now He refuses me
and in this stale of appalling despair
he passed away into the darkness. 7"
