A DRUNKARD'S WILL.
From the Fireside Friend, the fol
lowing is clipped. It Is the last will
and testament dt a broken and disap
pointed life. It tells Its own story and
enforces truth:
"I die a sinner and leave the world
a worthless reputation; a,, wicked ex
ample, and a memory only fit to
perish. I leave my parents sorrow
and bitterness of soul, all the days of
their lives. I leave to my brothers
and sisters shame, grief and reproach.
1 leave to my wife a "Widowed and bro
ken heart, and a life of lonely strug
gling with want and suffering. I
leave to my children a tainted name,
a ruined position, a painful Ignorance
and the mortifying recollections of a
father ' who,, by his life disgraced hu
manity and at his premature death
joined the great company of those
who are never to enter the kingdom
of God." ' .. .
Reread this. Find here seven In-
controvertable facts, tacts ueniun-
strated before our own eyes In this
city and county every year of our
lives. Then ask soberly this Question: j
It the drunkard, who Is the legitimate
output of the saloon, lives such a life
and leaves such a record, what should
be done with the drunkard factory?
