Is the only manufacturing establishment on
the top side Of the earth that doesn't. point

man when he first comes under its blighting
influence, but the perfected product--the
finished drunkard-is an object OF loathing
and contempt in the eyes OF those who
wrecked thu mans hopes, character, fortune,
and life. Having robbed him Of his money
and his manhood, the saloonist kicks the
miserable creature Of his internal business

There is one social d;shonor about
which no enc thinks it worth while to
say much in Reproduction, but wh.chdoes
more harm than any other known to us
we mean the dishonor of repeating
conversations, opinions, circumstances
not made under promise Of secrecy, but
which high sense of honor would treat
as confidential, if happy high sense Of
honor were the rule. 1t is odd that one
of the best things a boy learns at schoo
is to eschew tale bearing and keep taitf
with his companions, while one of the
most common practices of society is tc
betrav the trust contained in talk, ant
repeat to all what has been told in i'm
piled confidence to one. This habit o
repeating what we hear is as fatal tc
the best intercourse of minds as to the
finer feelings Of integrity.
