Half barrel of alcohol on the depot
platform, shipped to --.a young
man just about to enter the holy bonds of
wedlock What docs it mean? Is there
not something terrible in the contempla-
ton of the results? Half barrel of al
cohol to be distributed at 4 marriage
feast; what beginning for married life!
Cursed be he that putteth the bottle to
his neighbor's lips" My dear young friend
will you not take heed? Will you start
in life, with her who is so dear to you,
by setting such an example? Go with me
to the insane asylum at Rochester, and
there see the baneful effects of alcohol on
one near and dear to you. Is not that
warning enough? Half barrel of alco-
hol-does that mean sobriety, good cheer,
pleasant temper? or does it point to exces-
SEES, strife and contention, demons dane
ing around the heads of guests after they
return to their homes aud firesides? Will
you give it? Dare you give it them? l
recall to my mind a boy whose parents
drank the sparkling beverage. l see q
son with narrow forehead, protruding
eyes, thickened lips, half blind and idi-
otto, living, daily punishment to his in.
ebriate parents for twenty years.
These are the posslbilties-this is what
grows out of such customs, such prac-
tees. But you say it was a custom of
the old country, and if it was right for our
forefathers, why is it not right for US? Was
1t right to hang people for witchcraft? If
so, why not hang them now? Was it right
to hold men and women in abject slav-
cry If so, why not hold slaves now
Public opinion has said such things were
wrong. and slavery and persecution for
imaginary wi1chery have been abolished
In this enlightened age public opinion
Gays that a wholesale distribution of alco-
hol at wedding feast is wrong. aud will
you not obey? Sooner or later the strong
arm of the law will force you to abstain.
Why not let moral suasion cause you to
discard the old, wicked custom, and
breaking of from the evil example of
your ancestors, strike out into the path of
duty. of honor, of morality, by discard
ing the wicked practice now and forever.
