AN oFT-REPEATED TRAGEDY.

| Another Illustration of How Short and
Direct Is the Way from Beer to Bier.
We have just had an illustration in
our quiet little town, not the first and
doubtless not to be the last, of how
short and direct is the way from beer
to bier. The length of seven shooter
between the foaming glass and the
suicides brain was the distance in this
instance. The time, a flash, report,
a groan, and the journey was made.
The same distance between a circle
and its center; the latter CHASTITY
corpse, and the former, the circumfer-
ence, a widow and large family of
children. Upon this center I have just
gazed as one in the circle of brewers
family, which l was suddenly sum
moned to visit. It's the old story,
from beer to bier. The more than
"thrice told tale makes it monoton-
Gus, and were this local incident a
singular one it might not be worth
this recital in the midst of the thou
sands of casualties that call for the
spade and the mourners. But this
circle touches others and, joining their
diameters, we have an equatorial
G irdle of the earth.
This drop in the lake is one of a
ceaseless number, and the waves roll
in widening concentric circles until the
remotest shores are touched, and they
cross every path upon its surface and
all feel the vibration.
Entering the home of the brewer, I
passed the beer-mug on the dining
table, not quite emptied, to the coffin
under the chandelier in the parlors,
and the story is shortly told by the
widow in tears and sobs.
He has been drinking more of late
than usual. Formerly he was satisfied
to take beer, but for some time he
has been indulging in stronger drinks.
The doctor warned him, but he didn't
stop. l demonstrated with him Oft
en-, this morning again just before
the shooting. He got angry. Wehad
some words. My son rebuked his
father for his abuse of me. We left
the room and scarcely had gone till
we heard the sharp report of his pis-
toll. We returned and all was over,
just as you see it. Husband was kind
when he was sober, but was irritable
after debauch. Yes, it was beer and
strong drink that did it..
What could minister say to a sor-
rowing widow in such case? just as
| rose to go she asked: 'tDo you think
there is any hope for those who die as
my husband died?" replied by say
ing:
"Could / have hope for those who
lived as he did, I should not despair
for them dying, no matter by what
means. The bullet was no surer, only
little quicker, than the glass, TO-
bringing this about" 1t was hard,
but it seemed needful to say this for
the good of bloated son standing near.
