During the past few years, the subject of alcoholism, with the mental and moral causes leading thereto, have attracted a great deal of earnest attention. Physicians, superintendents of inebriate and lunatic asylums, prison-keepers, legislators and philanthropists have been observing and studying its many sad and terrible phases, and recording results and opinions.
There was something so sullen and mysterious in the coarse features of this stalwart man-something so revolting in his profession, though it was esteemed necessary to the elevation of men seeking political popularity-something so at variance with common sense in the punishment meted out to him who followed it, as to create a deep interest in his history, notwithstanding his coldness towards the inebriate.
The young theologian took him a seat close by the side of the dreaming inebriate; and as he woke convulsively, and turned towards him his distorted face, viewing with wild stare each object that met his sight, the young man met his recognition with a smile and a warm grasp of the hand. "I am sorry you find me here again yes, I am." "Better men, perhaps, have been here "
The student and the janitor pay good prices for such things as you. Come out, Tom, like a hero, on the square." An outcast, hurled deep into the gulf of despair, and surrounded by victims of poverty and votaries of crime, the poor inebriate has yet left him one lingering spark of pride.
He did not care to enter, but he watched, with curiosity, those who entered and those who came out. As he was standing there, a man of forty touched him on the shoulder. Hector turned, and was by no means attracted by the man's countenance. He was evidently a confirmed inebriate, though not at that time under the influence of liquor.
When the wretched inebriate embraces a spiritual religion with one foot in the grave, with a constitution completely undermined, and the seeds of death planted, then no repentance or lofty aspiration can prevent physical death. It was so in Rome." The death-throes were long and lingering, as befits the end of a mighty giant, but death was certain.
No grief-printed face bent in anguish above him; no eye watched for the latest breath; no ear for the dying word; but through the half-open door, came to the ear of the dying boy the coarse laugh of the inebriate the jest of the vile, and the frightful blasphemies of those whose way is the way of death. None saw the last life-light, as it broke into the dark, spiritual eyes of the boy.
But out of those shadows, she saw coming Caesar. Stricken with fear, the Gallic woman recoiled several steps, Caesar advanced likewise, and the slave disappeared by the opening, which was immediately closed again. By the uncertain step of the Roman, by the fire in his looks, the excitement which impurpled his cheeks, Meroë saw that he was inebriate. Her terror subsided.
I shall not attempt to analyze metaphysically this change. By the help of such words as Leonard may himself occasionally let fall, the reader will dive into the boy's heart, and see how there the change had worked, and is working still. The happy, dreamy peasant-genius gazing on Glory with inebriate, undazzled eyes is no more.
"What's your name?" asked the inebriate, as he sank into a large armchair near the window. "Leonard Craig." "Never heard the name before." "What's your name, sir?" "What you want to know for?" asked the other, cunningly. "The landlord will want to put it on his book." "My name? Phil Stark." "Philip Stark?" "Yes; who told you?" It will be seen that Mr. Stark was not yet quite himself.
