An aged farmer was telling US the other day
of a neighbor.i ssi gBD0ua5 bng aegl gi4a


Sir, said he, sthat man was drunkard--so
he lived-so he died. You may depend he was
a hard case. never knew the like He had
most amiable wife, who begged him to de-
sist; but he went to town, and as often he
came home drunk, and treated her and his
children badly. When she hid his liquor bot
tie he went off and got a Jug Of the stuff and
made his little boy hide il for him without his
mothers knowledge. He bought barrel full
sometimes, and she would turn the spickel
and let II run out; and she would beg and en-
treat him not TO drink, but he would do it. FL
nally, he became poor, and every thing around
him was poyerty-siricken. His lands were
filed with weeds, and his cattle starving. Yet
he would kill the cattle and sell their hides for
liquor. Presently the foolish Lfe-spree was
over, and his breath left the body. Il was a
great reliefto the poor wife, and the children,
too; for she found that drunken husband was
worse than none. He was hard case, sir,
and no mistake t' eitt 4'


There are many such cases. Whose faul,
is n2 Who makes drunkards, THosE WHO
MAKE AND SELL THAT PoIsoN--ALcoHoL.
