, to a point where the nioini'
jails and peni^2ntiaries they
come. At the head t'f the
army comes a long line of
persons whose hands are bes
meared with human blood,
With rope around theirnecks,
they tire on their way to the
Kalows Others are going
to priso.i fori fe. U'-cry crime
known to our laws has been
c nnmiticJ by these persons,
)\lnle under the .••■i.tluence of
drink. ’
Hut harki Wfe^ce comes
those yells and whi'-t^are those
bound with strong chains,
and guarded liy strong men
tiiat go raging by? They are
raving maniacs, made such
l)y drink. Their eyes are tor
mented with awful sights,
and their ears ring with aw
ful sounds. Slimy reptiles
crawl over their bodies, and
fiends from hell torment them
before their time- They are
gone now, and we breathe
more freely.
Hut what gloom Is this that
pervades the air, and what is
that long line of black coming
slowly down the street? It
is the line of funeral proces
sions. One hundred thous
and who have died thedrunk-
atd’s death are being carried
to their graves. Drunkard’s
do not haA’C many friends to
m.iurn their loss, and w’e can
put thirty of their funeral
in'oeessions into a mJe. We
have thus a procession 3,335
miles in length. It will take
a good slia.'c C’" ti t. year lor
them t.T go by, lor funeral
procersioi.s move slowly.
Yes, most of tliem do. but
every now and then an nneof-
lined corpse'ii a rough cart,
is driven rtipliily by. and we
hear the brutal driver .sing:
■ ijuick, rattle his Ikiiim, rattle liis bmics,
Over tlie stiines,
He’i! Diily a ])iiiiper wiiom milmiiy owns.”
Look into thecoflinsas tliev
go bv. Seethe deaddrunk
ards. Some died of d.lirium
tremens, and tlie lines of ter
ror a^c still marked on their
faces. Some froze to death
by tlie roadside, too drunk to
reach their lumies. Some
stumbled from the wharf and
was drowned. Some wan
dered Into the woods and
died tind rotted on the face of
the earth. Some blew their
own lirainsout. Some were
st.'ibbed in drunken lirawls.
Some \\ ere roasted in bm n-
buildings. Some were
crn.'lnd to shapeless masses
nniler lli.-cnrs. They died in
vat ions wa\s, but strong
drink killed liic'i; al!: and on
their tombstones -if t hev h.ave
any—mav lie .itlv inscrib
ed, “lie (lied a drunkard’s
death.”
Ch.se iiehind them comes
another long line of funeral
proce’^sioris: we know not
But here comes another
army—the children—innocent
ones, upon whom lias lieen
visited the iniquities ofllieir
fathers. How many are
there? Two hu.iiJrc4 thous
and, marching t'vo abreast;
they' extend u[) the street
thirty miles. Bacii one must
bear through life the st'gma
of being a drunkard’s child.
They are reduced to poverty,
want, 'and beggary. They
live in ignorance and vice.
Some of tliem are mofining
with hunger, and some are
shivering with cold, ftu' they
have not enough rags to ke. p
them warm. A large niimlK r
of them are idiots, made so
before they were born, hy
brutal drunken fathers. .And
worse than aH the re.«t, many
efthem have inherited a love
for liquors, and are grow ing
up to take the places and do
the deeds of their fathers.
They will fill the ranks of the
awful army of drunkards,
that move in unbroken col
umns down to deatii.
It has taken nearly a year
for the street to empty itself
ofits year’s work. And close
in the rear conus the vanguard
of the next year’s supply. II
this is what Ii(|uor does in
our land in one year, what
must be Its results in all the
