M YKHir.n A DRUNKARD-
She arose suddenly in she meeting,
and spoke as follows: Married to a
drunkard ? Yes; I was married to a
drunkard. Look at me ! lam talk
ing to the girls.”
YY’e all turned and looked at her
She was a wan woman, with dark, sad
eyas, and white bait placed smootlv
over a brow that denoted intellect.
When I married a drunkard 1
reached the acme of misery, ’ she con
uuued. “I was young, and oh, so
happy! I married tile man I loved,
and who professed to love me. He whs |
a drtindard, ami 1 knew it—knew it, ■
hut did not understand it. There is I
not a young giri.m this building that
dors understand it unless she lias a
drunkard m her family; then, perhaps
sue knows how deeply the iron enters
the soul of a woman when she loves
and is allied to a drunkard—whether
father, husband, brother or son. Girls
believe me, when 1 tell von that to
marry a drunkard, to love a drunkard
5 s tho crown of nil misery. 1 have
| gone through the deep wate-s, and 1
know. I have gained that fearful
; knowledge at the expense of happiness
| sanity, almost life ifselt. l)o you won
! dur my Bair is while? It turned white
l in a night; ‘bleached by ssrrow,’ a„
Mane Antoinette said of her hair. 1
am not forty years old, yet tho snows
of seventy rest upon mv head, and
iiisin my heart All! 1 cannot begin
to count tiie winters resting there,”
she said, with unutterable pathos in
her voice.
“Mv husband was a professional
man. His calling took him from home
frequently at night, and when he re
turned, he returned drunk. Gradually
he g ive way to temptation in the day
until lie was rarely sober. I had two
lovely little girls and a hoy.” Here
her voice faltered, and we sat in deep
silence listening to her storv. “.tl>
husband had been drinking deeply. I
had not seen him for two days. He
had kept awnv from his home. One
night I was seated beside* my sick i
boy; the two little girls were sleeping
in the next room, while beyond was
another room, into which I heard mv
husband go a he entered the lions*
The room communicated with the one
in which my little girls were sleeping
I do not know why, but a feeling of
terror took possession of me, I felt that
my little gills were in danger. 1 rose
and went to the room. The door was
locked. I knocked on it frantically,
but no answer came. I seemed to he
endowed with superhuman strength,
and throwing myself with all my force
against the door, the lock gave wav
anti the door llew open. Oh, the sight!
the terrible sight!” she wailed out in
a voice that haunts me h*w, and she
covered her face w ith her hands, and
! when she removed them it was whiter
and sadder than before.
“Delirium tremens! You have never
seen, girls; God grant that you never
may. My husband stood beside the
bed, his eyes glaring with insanity,
and in his hand he held a large knife.
‘Take them away !’ he screamed. ‘The
horrible things; they are crawling all
over mo! Take them away, 1 say,’’
and he flourished his knife til the .ur.
Regardless of danger I rushed to the
bed, and mv heart seemed suddenly
to cease heating- There lay my chil
dren, covered by their life’s blood,
slain by their own father! For a mo
ment I could not utter a sound. I was
literally dumb in tho presence of this
terrible sorrow. I scarcely heeded the
maniac at my side—the man who had
wrought me all this woe. Then I
uttered a loud scream, aud my wailing
tilled the air. Tho ssrvants heard me
and hastened to the room, and when
my husband saw them lie suddenly
drew the knife across his own throat.
I knew nothing more. I was borne
s ense!ess from the room that contained
the bodies of my slaughtered children
and the body of my husband. The
next day my hair was white, and my
mind so shattered that I knew no
one.”
She ceased. Our ever were riveted
upon her wan face. Some of the
women present sobbed aloud, while
j there was scarcely a dry eye in the
temperance meeting. YY'c saw that
j she had not done speaking, and was
only waiting to subdue her emotion,
to resume her story.
“For two years ” she continued, “I
was a mental wreck; then I recovered
1 from the shock, and absorbed myself
in the care of my bov. But the sin of 1
the father was visited upon the child, i
and six months ago my boy ot eigh
teen was pieced in a drunkard’s grave;
and as I, his loving mother, stood and
saw the sod heaped over him, I said:
•Thank God ! I’d rather see him there
than have him live a drunkard,’ and
I turned into mv home a childless
woman—one up m whom the hand of
God had rested heavily.
“Girls, it is you I wish to rescue
from the fate that overtook me. Do
not blast your life as 1 blasted mine:
do not be drawn into tlso madness of
marrying a drunkard. "You love him.
So much the worse for you: for mar-
lied to him, the greater will be your
misery because of your love. You will
marry and then reform him, you say
Ah! a woman sadly overrates her
strength when she undertakes to do
this. You are no match for the grant
demon‘drink,’ when he possesses a
mail's body and soul. You are no
match for him, I say. What is your
puny strength beside this gigantic
force? He will crush vou, too. It is
to save von. gills, from the sorrows
that wrecked toy happiness, tb.-tt. 1
have unfolded my history to you. I am
a stranger in this great city. I am
merely passing through it; and I have
a message to bear to every giti in
America—never marry a drunkard!’
I can see her now, ns she sto> and
there amid the hushed audience, her
•lark eves g owing, aud her frame
quivering with e otion, as she uttered
her impassioned appeal. Then she
burned out, and we never saw her
again. Her words ‘fitly spoken,”
were not without effect, however and
because of them there is one girl sin-,
p ( le now.
