John B. Cough tells the following:

his congregation came home for the
first time IN his life intoxicated, and
his boy met him on the doorstep,
clapping his hands and exclaimng,
Papa has come homep He seized the
boy by the shoulder, swung him
around, staggered and fell in the hall
That minister said to me: 81 spent
the night in that house. | went out
and barred my brow that the night air
might fall upon it and cool it. /
walked up and down the hill. There
was the child dead! There was his
wife in strong commissions, and he

age asleep, while in the house lay
dead child with blue mark upon the
temple where the corner of the mar

head as he swung him around, and a
wife upon the brink of the grave
'Mr. Cough, said my friend, Il cursed
the drink. He had told me that /

When he awOke he passed his hand
over his face and exclaimed, @What Is
the matter where am / Z? where is my
boy ~ you cannot see him." "Stand
out of my way; will see my boy"
To prevent confusion / took him to
THE child's bed, and as / turned down
the sheet and showed him the corpse,
he uttered a wild shrek, @Oh, my
child" One year after that he was
brought from a lunatic asylum to lie
side by side with his wife in the grave,
and / attended his funeral The min
