'Strong d rink shall be bitter to them thatdrink it."—Isaiah 24 :9."At the last it biteth like a serpent, andstingeth like an adder."—Proverbs23 :32.It is a sad death.—There is nocomfort on that dying pillow, nosweet repose, no voice of friendshipbidding adieu, no lighting up of joyin the departing spirit.It 'is a frequent death.—Everyhour some, in our own land, gothrough its gates.It is an early death.—Fewdrunkards live out half their days.It is generally an unlamenteddeath.—"No one will miss him," isthe common saying. Even hisfamily expect comfort, now that heis no more.Let it be soberly contemplated—1. By the moderate drinker^Sucha death may be his. 2. By thevendor—He has filledthe bottleand done the deed. 3. By themagistrate—He granted the license.4. By the heedless parent—It may be the death of his son.5. Before it be too late, by thedrunkard himself, and let him escapefor his life. Habit hurrieshim onward. Sickness hurries himomrard. But oh! his eud! hisdreadful end!On slippery rocks I see him stand.And death's dark billows roll below.THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.The City of Washington is anobject of perennial interagt to allpatriotic Americans.
