"That is mighty curious; I don't see how it can be. I shouldn't think it could be managed that way." "Oh, it's a good enough arrangement, and goes very well; in fact, it wouldn't do to have it otherwise. I find that the teetotalers and the anti-teetotalers hire the use of the same hall for their meetings. Both parties don't use it at the same time, do they?"
Take the case of the missionaries, who are almost all teetotalers, they are young men and women who have to pass a medical examination before coming out, and whose lives on the Coast are far easier than those of other classes of white men, yet the mortality among them is far heavier than in any other class. Mr.
Generally he made for some wayside inn, where he could refresh himself with a tankard of beer, after which he lit his pipe, and walked with it between his teeth. Toby Liversedge, becoming aware of this habit, was inclined to doubt its prudence. "Beware of the teetotalers, Denzil; they are a power among us."
After mockingly commiserating with the teetotalers over the sad plight into which their habits had brought them, the address continues: "We have had divers meetings at the Bear at the Bridge-foot, and now at length have resolved to despatch to you one of our cabinet council, Colonel Young, with some slight forces of canary, and some few of sherry, which no doubt will stand you in good stead, if they do not mutiny and grow too headstrong for their commander.
That's where the drinking habit comes in they can't help it they must drink. It ain't the love of the liquor, as teetotalers and those kind of goody people always are ramming down your throat it's the love of nothing. But it's the fear of their own thoughts the dreadful misery the anxiety about what's to come, that's always hanging like a black cloud over their heads.
Beef and mutton, plum pudding and cheese were supplied in abundance, and each man who desired it had three pints of beer, gingerbeer and lemonade being provided for the teetotalers, who formed a very considerable proportion... Several toasts were given and many of the workmen spoke, almost all of them commencing by 'Thanking God that they enjoyed good health; some alluded to the temperance that prevailed amongst them, others observed how little swearing was ever heard, whilst all said how pleased and proud they were to be engaged on so great a work."
Of course, if we shouldn't happen to clear the stone fence as well as we did the rail fence, it might be more disastrous." "Oh, land!" he said with a cackling laugh, "I ain't meanin' that kind of a fence. I mean the kind you Say! You ain't one of them teetotalers, be you?" "Only in theory," I replied, "but this stone fence drink is a new one on me. What's it like?"
A man may be temperate without being a teetotaler; all teetotalers are temperate, at least as far as alcohol is concerned, although they are sometimes, some of them, accused of using temperance as a cloak for much intemperance of speech. If this be true and there are cranks in all causes then temperance is itself the greatest sufferer.
I have known persons who were made teetotalers through the sufferings brought on them by the drunkenness of their fathers. And on the other hand; the blessings entailed on children by the virtue of their parents, tend to draw them to goodness.
Only, as it seems to me, he has the exclusive prerogative of thoroughly enjoying one and that the most characteristic, though by no means only, element of the scenery. Unluckily, too, the teetotalers are very apt, in this case also, to sit in judgment upon their more adventurous neighbours. Especially are they pleased to carp at the views from high summits.
