was kindly granted They have never re-
turned, and the horse is unlikely to live till
they do. Mr.. Nichols was directed to the

Whatever the sin and responsibility of
one who by indulgence i'll drink has passed
the line where sef-contro is possibility,
does not his case call for infinite pity?
Much interest must just now center on one
of our young men who, in such stress, has
just gone away to take the Kelley cure.
A bright, capable, active, good-hearted fell
low, who will not rejoice with him il the
demon within him may be cast out by any
meansl And now, before it is too late, If
only every one will lay this lesson to heart,
viz, that in the most rigid total abstinence
alone is there absolute safety for every one,
how priceless will the lesson be-
