a Fathers Appeal to q Dissipated
Son.

The following letter, taken from the
Covlngton Commonwealth, was written
by father to son of dissipated hab-
its:
Ny DEAR Son: What would you
think of yourself if you should come to
our bedside every night, and waking us
up, tell us you would not allow us to
sleep any more? That is what you are
doing, and that is why am up. Your
mother is nearly worn out with turning
from side to side, and with signing be-
cause you won't let her sleep. That
mother who nursed you in your infancy,
toiled for You in your childhood, and
looked with pride and Joy upon You as
you were growing up to manhood, as
she counted on the comfort and support
you would give her in her declining
years.
We read of most barbarous manner
in which one of the Oriental nations
Furnishes some of its criminals. It is
by cutting the flesh from the body in
small pieces-slowly cutting off the
limbs, beginning with the fingers and
toes, one joint at time-untl the
wretched victim dies. That is just what
you are doing-you are killing your
mother by inches. You have planted
many of the white hairs that are appear
ing so thickly in her head before the
time. Your cruel hand is drawing the
lines of'sorrow on her dear face, making
her look prematurely old. You might
as we'll stick your knife in her body
every time you come near her, for your
conduct is stabbing her to the heart.
You might as we'll bring her coffin and
force her into it, for you are pressing
her toward it with very rapid steps.
Would you tread on her body if pros
trated on the floor? And yet with I'M
grateful foot you are treading on her
heart and crushing out life and joy-no,
J. need not say Joy, for that is word
we have long ago ceased to see, because
you have taken it away from us. OF
course, we have to meet our friends
with smiles, but they little know the
bitterness within. You have taken the
roses out Of your sisters pathway, and
scattered thorns instead; and from the
pain they inflict scalding tears are often
seen coursing down her cheeks. Thus
you are blighting her life as we'll as ours:
And what can you promise yourself
for. the future? Look at the miserable,
bloated, ragged wretches whom you
meet every day, and see in them the
exact picture Of what you are coming to,
and will be in a few years. Then in
the end drunkard's grave and a drunk
ards doom! for the Bible says: mo
5,,,n1-or1 s1,o11 ;n,o,;t tho E;no6ono u
Where then will you be? If not in the
kingdom of God you must be some
! where else.
Will not these considerations Undue:
you to quit at once and for all time:
And may God help you for he can and
will if you earnestly ask it.
Your affectionate but sorrow stricken
father.
