breakfast is already far down the roac
that leads to drunkard's grave, The
head Of a humble family rises earl y anc

| Strange spirit OF accommodation in a man
who will not ito the smallest thing to re-
ieve his wife of the burden OF household
work. Down town he goes, but cOntrves
to step into several saloons and spend A.
cents for whisky before he reaches the
butcher shop and buys Is cents worth OF

selves Those that love them shed many
bitter tears over the intemperance Of the
| father, or husband, or son, before the
man knows or suspects that he has be

barrels full OF any other kind OF medicine
remaining SO long 4 time in doubt as tC
whether it was benetiting you?' 'To be
honest, don't think | would" The
man has deceived himself, and the doctor
has pandered to his vicious appetite. The
| lecturer mentioned an aged physician who
had lamented his agency in quickeninl
! the pace toward drunkard'S grave Of
many OF his patients. He spoke also o.
the countenance sometimes given TO the

the death by his own hand OF a young
man who had been envled for his correct
morals, brilliant endowmcnts and pros
poets, and happy domestic relations, but
who had been set upon the wrong patti
by the theories and practice OF a clergy

other boys had been received to bG
