A Wenn TO CUR Grecs.—Cauls,
whatever else you may do, do not
marry a drunkard. No matter how
tleeply,in love you may fancy your.
selves to be, do not marry a man
who drinks intoxioating hquor. It
' is better to be an old maid, and wise
the desired airs. from your tomb-
stone, It is better to go through
life eiugle and alone, to keep a eat,
and make aprons for the heatheu
children than to be a drunkard's
wife, Young men addioted to tak
ing a glass uow and then will
doubtless Laugh at you if you call
their habit a vice, or hint that it is
in any wise dangerous. They as•
sure you, in a lordly wr.y, that they
know what they ere about 1 Thoy
wonder %what you take them for!
Ifaven't they control uoough over
themselves to take a social glues,
now and then, and atop there?
Why, you talk as though they were
' common drunkards! And so they
are liable to become. There is no
safety in playing with poison. He
who touches pitch must be defiled.
The first glass makes room for the
recons. The appetite for strong
drink grows with what it is fed up-
on. The man who drinks a glass
of brandy or whiskey to -day, will
want auothor to -morrow. If he is
not strong enough to abstain from
the first glees, how is ,he to put
sway the second ? Young woman,
beware of him! Blinn him ae you
world one effected with the plague !
Oh, young girls, fair and pure, and
loving, think of what lies before you 1
Think of the mural contamination,
the miserable degradation which
hang around the drunkard, and
forswear the young man who drinks
Smile uo more on the deadly sin of
wine•drinking? Scorn it! Never
give its practice your sanction iu
ever so remote a degree. Oh, that
the women would turn their faces,
as one woman, eternally from the.
man who drinks! Oh, that the
mothers would close the doors of
their houses against the wine -drink.
ing young man as against the leper,
and let society understand that no
embryo drunkard will be received
as honored and respected into its
ranks. Call us radical, or fanatical
if ycu will—it matters not ; we are
Bound to the belief, born with us,
that no man is safe who takes the
first glass of liquor 1 For if he
takes the first glass he may want
the second, but if he never takes the
first he can not take the second.
Again we sayto you, young girls,
beware! No matter how hand•
some, or fascivatiug, or wealthy a
man may be—if he drinks, turn
away from him, and save yourself
from becoming that most miserable
of all women—a drunkard's wifo.—
