A TEMPERANCE OBJECT LESSON.
“ I was sitting at my breakfast
tableone Sabbath morning, when
I was called to the door by a ring
of the bell. There st od a boy of
about fourteen years of age, poorly l
clad, b-it t died up as best he could,
He was leaning upon crutches,one
leg was off at the knee. In a voice
trembling with -mo! ion, and tears
coursing down his manly cheeks,
he said: ‘ Mr. Hoagland, I am
Freddy Brown. I have come to see
if you will go to the jail and talk '
and pray with my father; he is o !
w hung to-morrow for the murder I
of my mother. i
My father was a good man, but i
whiskey did it. I have three sistars <
vounger than myself; we are very, <
very poor; we have no friends. We i
ive in a 1 a k alley in a dark and I
dingy ro in. I do the best I can to I
support my sisters by selling pa
pers, blacking boots, and odd jobs (
b it Mr. Hoagland, wo are awfully 1
poor.
Will you co ue and be with us 1
when father's body is brought '
home? The governor s-xys we may !
have his body after he is hung.’ I '
was d- p’y moved t> p ty. I irom- 1
ised an i ma e haste to the jail,
where I found his father. ac- 1
know] dg d that lie must have
murdered his wife, for the circum
st-i ces pointed that way, but he
had ot tin l slightest remembrance
of the deed. H*» said he was crazed
with drink, or he never would have
committed the crime.
He said : “My wife was a wom
an, and f ithful mother to my lit
tle children. Never did I dream
that my hand could be guilty of
such a crime. ” The man could face >
the penalty of thw law bravely for
his deed; but he broke down and
cried as if his heart would break
when he thought of leaving his
children in a destitute and friend
less con lition. I read and prayed
with him, and left him te his fate.
The next morning I made my way
to the miseia’ole qu rters of those
' children.
I found three little girls up®n a
bed of straw in one corner of the
room. They were clad in rags. They
were beautiful girls, had they the
proper care. They were expecting
1 the body of their dead father, and
between their cries and their sobs
they would say:
“Papa was good, but whiskey ,
did it.” In a little time two strong
’ officers came bearing the body of
I the dead father in a rude pine box;
they sat it do v i on two rickety
stools.
j The cries of ■ hildren were so
heart-rending that they could not
endure it, and made haste out of
the room, leaving me alone with
this terrible scene. In a moment
the manly boy nerved himself, and
.said, ‘’Come, sisters, kiss papa’s
■ face before it is cold.”
They gathered about his face,
i smoothed it with kisses, and be
tween their sobs they cried out:
“Pupa was good, but whiskey did
it.’’Papa was g"od, but whiskey
did it. I raised my heart to God
and said: “O, G >d, did I fight to
save a country that would derive a
| revenue from a traffic that would
ni ike one scene like this possible?”
In my heart I said: ‘ln the whole
history of this accursed traffi • there
has not boon enough revenue de
| rived to pay for one su-h scene as
this—the wife and mother murder
ed, ths father hung, tin children
outrag’d, a home destroyed.”—
Mrs. Gougar.
HOW I» IT USED?
A county town iu one of o tJI
Middle States ,in which is a <!►■
nomiuational college, wa® startled
by the suicide of one of tha collijg
students. He had become a cuu.
firmed drunkard; and, enfeeolep
n. mind aud body, coaseieue lba‘
his career in college wits over,
afraid to go homw, and in despair
he sought death.
, His brother was sent for ,c tak e
the dead body horn*. H found h»
president of the college, and said o
him:
“My mother, three years or more
ago, sent you her youngsst son,
Benjamin. He was a healthy, hon
orsble boy, who, when he left heme
had never touched a drop of liquor.
There is ■othing to carry back to
her but inis poor dead body. Who
has done this? Who is guilty ?
The venerable president was
deeply moved.
“Not I” he said. ‘‘Th- Faculty
w >re interested in hiw. When he
b-gati logo astray they
te i with him. I pleaded with him.
Every influence that we ouild ex»r t
was brought to hear. But. lie went
down as if drawn by soni • invisible
hand.
As the dead boy was carried
down the street, a pretty young
girl looke 1 out of the x indow o ’ he r
home and saw the hearse. She re
membered h»w, nearly three years
ago. vexed at his blindness to he r
charms aud hiseargerness for study
she had used he little wiles to at
tract him ; bow she had suceeeded •
how mad be was in his admiration
for h«-r.
There was a club Tin the college,
composed of students of free soci.
al habits. At their late suppers
wines were used and stakes were
played for at their card-tables. She
had urged him to join the club,
and had praised their “manly”
ways; their freedom from boyish
restraints. They were men of the
world; she never could care for
any man who had not seen life.
He had joined the club, and tlrs
was the result.
The silly frivolous giifl gave a
sigh, and then laughed nervously.
It was a pity! She had lost an ad
mirer. But who was to blame? Not
she. She knew other men of the
world who would not be driven t
suicide by a few glasses of liquor!
She went on her foolish cruel
way.
This is a 'rue story, stripped of
its worst detailed. In every col
lege town there are young girls
whose influence, unfortunately,is
stronger over the students than
that of their wisest and d«arest
friends. How do they use it?
