Oouffh's Work. if Out of tibe depths of debauchery and wretchedness came thespirifcthat inspired C|M Verde of John B. Gough against the fpi&u of intemperance. From the diesi- jiifttd experience of a few years, during vhkh lie ran the gnniut of a drunkard's igradation, he drew the example and •"i: i hwtrations of hin moat magnetic oratory % He had known and teen and felt the i6!!; I oa«ls au<! penalties of in temperance, had wifitred the mental terrors < f delirium rmn eup, had staggered along the brink <4 h tar vat ion, and in the midefc of his jL; " misery had lost hie wife and child pacri- ^ / Heed to a paewion he could not control, fe*, Hnii thepe experiences enabled bim to ' paint the horrors of a drunkam's life in w*H«j that horned their way into the hearts of men. He wan gilted with the , r»irest power of dramatic expression and vivid d<*K;ription. His earlier temperance uprechw were a living fire of denunciation if-lv 'he liquor traffic, a plea of manly ten- I?; ilernera for the drunkard, a pathetic apj»eal to manhood 6n behalf of wife, H' '• child rati and home. For forty years his Voice has been lifted up in the cause to which bis life was consecrated. The suc­ cess of that life, even in -a worldly sense was a triumph for total abstinence. "Without this John R. Qough would have perished miserably--as the fool dieth forty years ago. It was the only thing that saved him; he believed it was the only salvation for others. His last i ntelli- gible utterance will become memorable. It was on the lecturs platform in Phila­ delphia. He was speaking on the theme of all themes that stirred his eloquence. *T' 8 .id itr (lough, "have seven years in the record of my life when I was held in the iron grasp of intemperance. I would give.the world to blot it out; but, |Kx * alas! I cannot." Then stepping to the || ̂ footlights with one of those Immutably |fV' expressive gestures of which he was mar- te, ter, he said: "Therefore, young men In - make your reoord clean----." The sei. #;v teitce was le& unfinished. The orator |is . * tiank into a chair. His work was done. ;• No human estimate can say how well done, but tnoosands of happy homes in America and England and brighter gems P- i/- fr i£r' V Ki R£l v . in the crown of John B.
