stomach, the feverish headache, the ex
haustion that must come afterward. They
are blind to the baleful effects upon their
business or professional faculty. They are
oblivious to the infraction of inexorable
laws. They have no more eye to the con
sequence of their indulgence than the cat
tle which break through the bars in the
night and devour so much corn that it is
necessary to send for the farrier. In fact,
they aro at a Wind tea party. Sometimes
young meu are flattered by* invitations to
dine with tha dissipated. They think
it a grand thing to have sat in the
company -of gay erav»ted young men.
As they «lTaw the napkin across their lips
at the dote of the repafft • they feel they
have made a social achievement. Instead
of that they have given permission to men
of base npnetites to pat them on the back
and take them by the beard. Th^y have
forgud for themselves a chain of unwise
surroundings, which they will not-lie able
to break without a struggle. It only takes
one unsafe companion to swamp a pure
young man. Hut at that femrt you have
termed five or six undesirable acquain
tanceships. Through your najpkin ring
you ought to haye been able to see into
disasters to your moral well being. If you
had stirred your cup deep enough you
would have roused up a fiery tongued ad

pulp of the vriiwi. You
ought to (have seen ruin

the effect of dissipating companionships.
Yes, you were -sitting and standing ai a

many decide their destiny. The kindest

Soon we pulled out, the bell of our en

I sat at a window and gazed out upon
the great city and watched the various lit
tle parties wending their wav toward the
churches. Never did-mortal eye rest upon
a quieter and more peaceful scene. The
docks, so noisy all the week, were deserted,
and the waters of the receding tide lapped
lazily against the sides of the vessels.
Out in the grove to my left I could just
catch the eleam of the spire of the prim
little Presbyterian church, which one can
tell at a glance what denomination erected
it, and what sortof staunch old blue-bloods
attend worship there.
A little farther rap stands the venerable
Episcopal church, with its cosy rectory, all
