born at 'Sandgate, England, Au.
CAST %, 1S17. The castle and
other romantic surroundings
greatly affected the boy. His
father was a soldier and his moth
er a gentle school mistress.
His parents we're poor, and to
better the boys prospects they
sent him with a nelghbor to
America. HIS mother marked
passages IN the Bible for him to
learn, especially the second,
third, fourth and fifth chapter of
Proverbs.
He spent two years on a farm
IN New York, with no Sabbath
school or day school, but joining
the Methodist during a revival.
Seeking advancement, he went
to New York City with only half
a dollar 10 the world.
Great poverty and many trials,
together with the ability to sing
we'll and tell funny stories, led
Cough into a life of dissipation.
He became a drunkard and an
actor. HIS first appearance in
Boston was IN the play, depart.

Beecher and other temperance
leaders were ridiculed.
Mr.. Cough married, took up
his trade of book binding, but
fell to the most profound depths
of lntemperance, knowing all the
horrors of dellrlum tremeus. At
one time he stood on the railroad
track with a bottle of laudanum

ance in humble way, but his
great ability was soon recognized
and he became a temperance lee
turer, speaking to crowded hous-
es all over the United States and
Great Britain. His speaking
combined the richest humor, the
tenderest pathos, the most pow.
erful eloquence, the most con.
vlnclng argument.
His autobiography and his
"Platform Echoes" are among the
strongest temperance books ever
written. After winning many
thousands to a life of sobriety, ,-he
died, honored by all the world, IN
1886.
No one can read Coughs life
without a deepened rlty for the
drunkard, and deepened sense
of responsibility for speaking the
kind words that may save him
from his awful fate. Exchange.
