Josiah Aliens children have been
brought up to think that sin of any
kind is just as bad ina man as I'D
woman, and any place of amusement
that was bad for woman to go to, was
bad for a man.
Now, when Thomas Jefferson was
little Teller, he was bewitched to go TO
circuses, and Josiah said:
"Better let him go Samantha; IL
hain,t no place for women or girls, but
it won't hurt boy"
Saws 7, Josiah Allen, the Lord made
Thomas Jefferson with just as pure
heart as Tirzah Ann, and no bigger
ewes and ears, and if Thomas Jefferson
goes to the circus, Tirzah Ann goes
toO.n
That stopped that. And then be
was bewitched to get with other boys
that smoked and chewed tobacco, anc
Josiah was of that easy turn that he
would have let him go with 'em
But, says, L:
Josiah Allen, if Thomas Jefferson
goes with those boys and gets U
chewin' and smokin' tobacco, L shai
buy Tirzah Ann pipe"
And that stopped that.
"And about drinkin', if it should b'
the will of Providence to change yo'
into a wild bear, Will CHI ain you vi
and do the best | can by you. But
YOU ever do it yourself, turn yoursel
into wild beast by drinkin', VII
run away; for I never could stand 1t
never. And" continued, ''if ever
see Tho mas Jefferson hangin' 'rount
bar-rooms and tavern doors, TRIAL
Ann shall hang too"
Josiah argued with me. Says he:
ut doesn't look so bad for a boy as
does for girl.'
SAYS I, "custom makes the differ
ence; we are more used TO seeing men
But" Says 1, "when liquor goes t
work to make a tool and brute c
any body, it don't stop to ask about sex
it makes a wild beast and idiot of
man or woman, and to look dow
from Heaven, | guess man looks q
bad lynn dead drunk as a woman

Says I: fittings look differentl
from up there than do to us-it is
more slightly place. And you tall
about looks, Josiah Allen. / don't &
on looks; l go on principle. Will tn

have brought Thomas j. flersnn II

to listen to bad story as for girl, q

him to talk or listen TO any stuff ti'i.
