C. The Drinking House Over The Wav The room was so cold and cheerless and bare. With its rickety table and one broken chair. With its curtainless window with hardly an pane To keep out the snow, the wind and the rain. A cradle stood empty, pushed up to the wall. And somehow that seemed the saddest of all. In the rusty old stove the fire was dead. There was snow on the floor at the foot of the bed And there, all alone, a pale woman was lying. You need not look twice to see she was dying. Dying of want, of hunger and cold. Shall I tell you her story,, the story she told? "No Ma'am, I'm no better; my cough is so bad; It's wearing me out, tho, and that makes me glad, For it's wearisome living when one's all alone. And heaven, they tell me, is just like a home. Yes, Ma'am I've a husband, he's somewhere abou*. I hoped he'd come in 'fore the fire went out; But I guess he has gone where he's lively to stay, I mean to the DRINKING-HOUSE over the way. It was not always so, and I hope you won't think Too hard of him, lady, it's only the drink. I know he's kind hearted, for, oh! bow he cried For our poor little baby the morning he died. You see he took sudden, and grew very bad And we had no doctor; my poor little lad. For his father had gone, never meaning to stay. I am sure, to the DRINKING-HOUSE over the way. And when he came back, 'was far in the night. And I was so tired and sick with fright Of staying so long with my baby alone And it cutting my heart with its pitiful moan. He was cross with the drink; poor fellow, I know It was that, not his baby that bothered him so; But he swore at the child, as panting it lay. And went back to the DRINKING-HOUSE over the way. I heard the gate slam, and my heart seemed to freeze Like ice in my bosom, and there on my knees By the side of the cradle all shivering I stayed, I wanted my mother, I cried and I prayed. The clock. It struck two, ere my baby was still. And my thoughts went back to my home on the hill Where my happy girlhood had spent Its short day. Far, far from the DRINKING-HOUSE over the way. Could 1 be a girl. L the heart-broken wife. There watching alone while the dear little life Was going so fast that I had to bend tow To hear if he breathed, twas so faint and so slow Tss, it waa easy. Ma dying, ha Jaet i And his eyes opened wider to look for the light, ts his father came in 'twas just break of day? Came in from the DRINKINK-HOUSE over the way. Yes. ma'am he was sober, at least mostly I think, lie often stayed that way to wear off the drink. Vnd I know he was sorry for what he had done, For he set a great store by our little one. \r?< straight did he come to the cradle-bed, where Our baby lay dead, so pretty and fair. I wondered that I could have wished him to stay When there was a DRINKING-HOUSE over the way. rle stood quite a while, did not understand. You see. till he touched the cold little hand. Dh! then came the tears and he shook like a leaf. And he said 'twas the drinking that made all the grief. rhe neighbors were kind and the minister came, And he talked of my seeing ray baby again, \nd of the bright angels?I wondered if they Could see in the DRINKING-HOUSE oveq the way. And I thought when my baby was put in the ground. And the men with their spades were shaping the mound if someone only would help me to save My husband who stood by the side of the grave If only it were not so handy to drink? The men that make laws, ma'am, sure didn't third Of the hearts they would break, of the souls tb?j would slay. When they licensed the DRINKING-HOUSE ovei the way. I've been sick ever since and it cannot be long. Be pitiful lady, to him when I'm gone. He wants to do right, but you never can think How weak a man grows when he's fond of drink And it's tempting him here and it's tempting bin there? Four places I've counted in this very square. Where a man can get whiskey by night and by day Not to mention the DRINKING-HOUSE over th< way. There's a verse in the Bible the minister read. No drunkard shall enter the kingdom, it said. And he is my husband, and I love him so. And where I am going 1 want him to go. Our baby and I will both want him there? Don't you think the dear Saviour will answer yon Orayer? And, please, when I'm gooe, ask someone to pray For him at the DRINKING-HOUSE over the < Murphy people, go to the p oil* heb, 14 arid Vote Ury Bellview and Not la Prayer Circle IMfeKLlk> Sam M.
