What is drunkard? 1 have gone through the
whole of creation that lives, and find nothing in
it Ike drunkard. The drunkard is nothing but
a drunkard. There is no other thing in nature to
which he can be likened The drunkard is a self
made wretch. who has depraved and has gratfed
the depraved cravings of the throat and body. I'M
til he has sunk his soul far that it is lost in his
flesh. and sunk his very flesh lower down beyond
comparison than that of the animals which serve
him.
He is self degraded creature. whose degrade.
ton is made manifest to every but himself;
a self-made miserable being. who while he is in.
sensible to his own misery, aft cts every one
around him or belonging to him with misery The
drunkard is let loose upon mankind like some
foul, ill-boding and noxous animal, to pester tor
ment and disgust everything that reasons or feels,
while the curse of God hangs over his place. and
the gates Of heaven are closed against him.
Drunkenness is never to be found alone; never
unaccompanied by some horrid crime if not by a
wicked crowd of them.

ly look on his affairs. listen to the sounds that

spent eight hours day for six weeks in re-
writing and giving finish to "LOcksley
Hail." though the original draft of this ex
quste production occupied only two days
in its composition. Tom Moore, with all
his wonderful briliancy, considered it do
ing extremely well if he wrote fifty lines of
his ''Lala Rookh" in a week. The author
of Pleasures of Hope was slow of thought.
and consequently his habits of cOmpO
sitiOn were tolSOme in the highest degree.
He wrote exceedingly cautiously, weighing
and shaping the effect of each particular
line before he permitted it to stand. He
used to say that his 'Gertrude of Wyoming"
was his best performance. while at the same
time he expressed himself to the effect that
it was sadly i'm need of a careful revision.
1t was rarely the case that he was satisfied
with anything he wrote. OftentimeS that
which he had written at night would be
given over to the flames in the morning.
But his perseverance was wonderful. and he
has left to the world as rare fame. per-
