I say, that for excess in drinking, the penalty is paid instantly, or at least on the morrow. 'Paid by the drunkard's wife, you should say. 'Whereas intemperance in eating, corrupts constitutionally, more spiritually vitiates, we think: on the whole, gluttony is the least- generous of the vices. Colney lured Mr.
Shelter for all. The household Salvage Corps. The Prison Gate Brigade. The Drunkard's Home. The Rescue Home for fallen women. The poor man's Metropole. The Emigration Bureau. To these no doubt will in course of time be added many other branches. In the meantime this is in itself a sufficiently extensive programme for some years to come.
Charles Street, came out with a bid. The owner was a seedy man with a straw-colored, drunkard's mustache. He was leaning against the body of Mrs. His hundred-dollar offer was followed by a hiss. What followed next Stephen will always remember. When Judge Whipple drew himself up to his full six feet, that was a warning to those that knew him.
It is not the drunkard's appetite that is transmitted, but the bias or proclivity which renders the subject of such an inherited tendency more susceptible to exciting causes, and therefore in greater danger from the use of alcoholic drinks than others. Dr. N.S. Davis, in an article in the Washingtonian, published at Chicago, presents the opposite view of the case.
The boy alluded to was the son of an intemperate man, who was angry with Isaac's father, in consequence of some effort to prevent his obtaining rum. The drunkard's son took up the cause of his father, and called Isaac hard names every time he saw him pass; and as he did not do anything by way of retaliation, he went farther and threw stones at him.
"Don't think at all," is what he says; "drown all thought in wine." But he writes very deftly, and I cannot but think that his resort is something like the drunkard's, to escape the great misery. To Rev. Henry W Bellows, D.D. ST. DAVID'S, Jan. 11, 1876. . . . IT is n't everybody that can turn within, and ask such questions as you do. But though I laughed at the exaggeration, I admire the tendency.
Wrenched from the drunkard's grip, the steering wheel jerked sharply round. A skidding a crash a cry! Over the roadway, vacant now, floated a tenuous cloud of dust and gasoline-vapor, commingled. In the retaining-wall at the left, a jagged gap appeared. Suddenly, far below, toward the river, a crashing detonation shattered harsh echoes from shore to shore.
They argue that strong drink is beyond all question in England the chief source of the misery, the vice, the degradation of the poor; that it not only directly ruins tens of thousands, body and soul, but also brings a mass of wretchedness that it is difficult to overrate on their innocent families; that the drunkard's craving for drink often reproduces itself as an hereditary disease in his children; and that a legislator can have no higher object and no plainer duty than by all available means to put down the chief obstacle to the moral and material well-being of the people.
As it was, this thought with him quite as the confirmed drunkard's thought of whiskey buoyed him up, kept him from despairing utterly, gave his mind the only diversion it had from the ever present thought of failure. If by chance he should meet some truly beautiful girl, gay, enticing, who would fall in love with him! that would be happiness.
Long since they had sunk their manhood in the intoxicating cup, and henceforth lived only to gratify their unnatural craving for what would sooner or later bring them to a drunkard's grave. As they left the saloon, the colonel turned to Tim, and said: "I like whiskey, sir; but I'll be hanged if I can respect such men as those." "They're bums, colonel, that's what they are!" "How do they live?"
