I have chosen a theme that we re
all quite familiar with, and some, i

for their own good; autl w hile my at
may not be very brilliant, still it is
original, and I will endeavor to illus-

' ' WTfTSK-VV - f
I hope T can impress, in your tiiinds
the fjuily of intemperance, the cause
alike of sorroV and crime.
First,, thoufrh, I would like to show
you some of the good and evil- uses of
whiskey. JNearly everything has its
goodiqualities and whiskey has, Uo,
if on v used for irood uui poses, it is
good iti some Cases of sickness, and es
pecially reconi mended fir toothache;
but if you keep a bottle for that pur
pose,! vour tooth will be forever ach-
ingH Strange though it seems, three
or foiirxtiu:es a day you . have to do
something for that poor tooth; and
whylis it?Simply because that tooth
loves' whiskeyyand nothing will ejise;
it, or relieve it hnt another drink. Did;
any f you ever have suc-Il a queer
Jo.)Jli? Ut course not no one-, here
everiheara ot such queer tilings.
There are Other things, whiskey is
good for. Ju.-.t suppose yHi were to

Sucky it you only had a lew drops of,
branily to force oetween thosa white,
speechless lips, right then? yon rote you
will never go without some next tium..
loujcan take a pint in case of an acci
dent then if nothing occurs,, you -can
drink it yourself, and by that ""means
et ijsed to it, In years to come swear
to her you will never drink a drop, and
and when that sweet girl, is deceived
into marrying you, go to town, and
get On 'a big drunk, and ' tell what a
dear good wife you have, go home to
thuttgentle, trusting wife, and see her
face turn pale at the sight of her . hus
bands soiled clothes and dusty hat, his
Ideaiied, guilty eyes and harsh drunk
en v(!ice, see the tears in her eyes and
hear 1 he agotrviri her voice, and think
then,!of the good and evil uses of
whiey.
Thi?n again take the mother. She
watches her sou her joy, her pride
watches mm grow unto noble man

promising hii future! 0! she prays,
God Cause my boy. to shim the'bowl."
She tells tha.tson the evil of drink, the
utter jruin of mind and soul it causes,
and fr his mother's sake never to
drinki
Dos he ddit? Does he remember
his mother's pleadings?
Perhaps he is a good, dutiful sou
and heeds her pray era for awhile but
soon he goes out in the world to make
his fortu ne, everything is hoptful,
his mind is on his tuture success, and
how his name shall ring through ages
tocoiiie. Ere long he mets a former
cjas juiate, an old comrade who wanlfcs
to drink in memory of olden tims.
Mother's prohiising boy hesitates only
a moment, then he enters the fatal
bar room,jifcver to withstand tempta
tion bgain, to sink gradually to a
drunkards grave, and to' a drunkards
doom!. i
Pojor anguished mother, think you,
she doesn't know the good and evil
qualities of whiskey?
Ah! if that youug man had thought
before he entered that bar where he
was going! that bar with curtained
windows, aiid poisonous odors, and
how often the experience of thousands
had proven it to be a bar to respecta
bility, to honor, happiness, and a bar to
Heaven. Everyday proves it to be a
road to want, misery, vice, mnrder,
and to prison.
Some it' is true do not pass through
all the stages, but intemperance prtis
ted! in, always ends ia a drunkards
grave, and we have toj many reaSou&
to fear hell.
