The late Professor Goodrich of Yale Colieffe says: " 1 had a widow's son com­ mitted to my care. He was heir to a great estate. He went through the dif. fenent classes, and finally left with a good moral character and bright prospects. But during the course of his education, he had heard the sentiment advanced which I then supposed correct, that the use of wines was not only admissible, but a real auxiliary to the temperance cause. After he left college, for a few years he continued respectful to me. At length he became reserved. One night he rushed unceremoniously into my room, and his appearance told a dreadful secret. He said he came to talk with me. He had been told during his senior year that it was safe to drink wiue, and by that idea he. had been ruined. I asked him if he v^as such a slave that he could not aban- •don the habit. 'Talk not to me of slavery^' said he." ' I am ruined, aud be­ fore I go to bed I shairquarrel with the barkeeper for brandy or gin *tq quench jny burning thirst. In one month this young man was in his grave, it went to my heart. Wine is the cause of ruin to a great proportion .of the young men of bur country. 'You give up your, wine, and I will give up my rum,' says the dram drinker. Once I would not yield to this. Now I think I ought for the purpose of checking intemperance. I will not speak for others, but for me to do otherwise would be sin." W E. B.
