ale and touching manner-teling him that such was
1be reverence he felt for all those who had fought
for our liberties that he could not bear to see them

the liberties which all enjoy; that ne would not
object TO an old soldiers taking an occasional dram
bnt he begged him for his own sake, and tor the sake
If ali those who had won Liberties, never to get
drink again. He then gave the old man some mon
