Larry As the Reader will readily guess is Ellen so Bachelor a As they say in Ireland. He Lias called at her brother i chutes col on the errand upon which bachelors who have sense enough to be saved Are wont to Call Larry was a Good tradesman Blylie and Well to do in tie world and had it not been for tie one great fan Ltd an inclination to take the a least taste in life More when lie had already taken quite enough there could not have been found a better match for Good excellent Ellen Mur Pfay in the whole kingdom of Ireland. When supper was Finis lied the everlasting whiskey bottle was produced and Ellen resumed her knitting. After a time Larry pressed his suit to Michael for the industrious hand of Liis sister thinking doubtless with the natural self conceit of All Mankind that he was perfectly secure with Ellen but though Ellen loved like All Iny fair country women Well., she loved 1 am sorry to say i like the generality of my fair country women wisely and reminded her Lover that she had seen him intoxicated at the lost fair of Lla Throolin. A dear Ellen he exclaimed a it was a Only a drop a the least taste in life that overcame me. It Overlook me unknown st quite against my a who poured it Down yer Throat Larry a a who poured it Down Iny Throat is it Why myself to let a sure bin Are you going to put me to a three months penance for that a Larry will you listen me and remember that the Man 1 marry must be converted Lief re we stand before the priest. 1 have no Faith whatever in conversions after a of Ellen a interrupted her Lover. A its no use of Ellenine me a she answered quickly a in be made my Resolution and ill Slick to she s As obstinate As ten women a said her brother. A there s no use in attempting to contradict her Slie always has had her own a its very cruel of you Ellen not to listen to reason. 1 Tell you a table spoon full will often upset a if you know that Larry Why do you take the table Spoo ii full a Larry could not reply to this question. He could Only plead that the drop got the better of him and the temptation and the overcome Ini nest of the thing and it was very hard to be at him so about u trifle. A i can never think a thing a trifle a she observe do that makes you so unlike yourself 1 she uld wish to respect you always Larry and in my heart 1 believe no woman could Ever respect a drunkard i done to Yaut to make you angry god forbid you should Ever be okie and i know you Are not one yet Bill sin grows mighty Strong upon us without our know i Edge. And no matter what indulgence leads to bad we be a right to think any thing that does Lead to it sinful Iti the Prospect if not at the present. A you a have made a flue priest Ellen said tie Young Man determined if he could not reason to laugh her out of her resolve. A i Don a think a she replied archly a if was a priest that either of you would have liked to have come to me to confession. A but Ellen dear Ellen sure its not in positive downright Earnest you Are you can to think of putting me off on account of that in Lisicky drop the least drop in life 1 look at he fair. You could not find it in your speak for me Michael speak for me. Bill. I see its joking you Are. Why Lei it la be 6ii us in no Lime and then we must wait i East Era its easy talking. A Larrv interrupted Ellen a do not ask yourself into a passion it will do no of none in the world. 1 am sure you love me and 1 confess before my brother it will be the Delight of my Hehu to return that love and make myself worthy of you if you will Only break yourself of that one habit which you qualify to your own us doing by fancying because that least taste Iti life makes you what Vou ought nolo Becj that you May still Trike a a ill the a oath against the whip Kisr that will please Abii till Christi has. J a and to Heidi Coltri Stivas comes gel tiv inc a Tipsy As Ever with Joy to in iii your oath in out no a a Ril swear any thing you phase. A 1 done to want you to swear at All there is no use ill a Man taking an oath he is anxious to have a Chance of breaking. 1 want your reason to be a my Darling Ellen All the reason i Ever had in the world is convinced.�?T, a prove it by abstaining from taking even a drop even the least drop in life if that drop can make you ashamed to look your poor Ellen in the face. Ill give it up a i Hope you Vytill one of these , from a conviction hat it is really bad in Ever Way but not from cowardice not because you dare not Trust a Ellen to sure yes be some blood in yer veins yes re such a Reasoner. Iris women done to often throw a boy off because of a drop if they did its Noi Many marriage dues his reverence would have Winter or a listen of me Harry and believe that though 1 spake this Way i regard you truly and if i did not id not take the trouble to Tell you my mind. A like Mike Bradys wife who whenever she thrashed him cried Over the blows and said they were All for his Good a observed her Broil or silly. A nonsense a listen to me 1 say and ill Tell you Why 1 am so i Solute. Its Many a Long Day since going to school i used to meet in Tichnel minds her too. In a sure an old Bent woman they used to cull her the Witch of Ballagh Toni. Stacy was As i have said very old entirely withered and White headed and nearly double with age and she used to be Ever and always muddling about the streams and ditches gathering herbs and plants the girls said to work charms with and at first Ihry used to watch rather far off and if they thought Ulicy Iliad a Good Chance of escaping her Tongue and the stones she Flung at them they a Call her an ill name or two and some limes old As she , shed make a Spring at them sideways like a crab and howl and Hoot and scream and then they a be off like a flock of pigeons from a Hawk and shed go on disturbing the Green coated Waters with her crooked Slick and muttering win ads which none if hey heard could . Stacy had can a Well reared woman and knew a Dale More than any of us when not tormented by the children she was mighty Well spoken and Tho Gentry thought a Dale about her More than she did about them for shed say there was it one in the country fit to its lie her shoe and Tell them so too if they a Call her any thing but a Ady Stacy which the Rale Gentry of the place All Humoured her in but the upstarts who think every civil word to an inferior is pulling Down their own dignity would turn up their noses As they passed ice and May be she did no to bless them for it. One Day Mike had come Home before me and coming Down the Back Ohreen who should 1 see moving along but lady Stacy and on she came muttering and mumbling to herself till she got near me and As she did 1 heard master Nixon a the dog Man hound in full cry and seen Lum at her heels and he to tear Over the hedge encouraging the Baste her to pieces. The dog was soon up with her and then she kept him off As Well As she could with her Crutch cursing the entire time and 1 was very frightened but i darted to her Side and with a Wattle 1 pulled out of the hedge did my Best to keep him off her. Master Nix ii cursed at me with All his heart but 1 was it to be turned of that Way Stacy herself Laid about with her Staft but the ugly brute would have finished her Only for me. I done to suppose Nixon meant that but the dog was Savage and some men like him Delight in cruelty. Well i beat the dog off and then 1 Lead to help the poor fainting woman for she was both faint and Hurt. 1 did no to much like bringing her Here for the people said she was it Lucky however she Wautlet help and i gave it. When i got her on the floor 1 thought a drop of whiskey Yould re Vive her and accordingly to Fly ered her a Glass 1 shall never forget the venom with which she dashed it to the ground. A do you want to Poison me a she shouted a after saving my when she came to her self a Little she made me sit Down by her Side and fixing her Large Grey eyes upon my face she kept rocking her body backwards and forwards while Slie spoke As Well As i can re member what ill try to Tell you but 1 can Tell Ilas she did that would it be in nature. A a Ellen a she said and her eyes fixed in my face a i was t always a poor Lone creatures that every Ruffian who walks the country dare set his cur at. There was full and plenty in my fathers Louse when i was Young but before 1 grew to womanly estate its Walls were Bare and roofless. W hat made them so a drink whiskey my father was Iti debt to kill thought he tried to keep himself so that he could not think he wanted the courage o a Man to look his danger and difficulty in the face and overcome it for Ellen mind my words the Man that will look debt and Dangler steadily in the face and resolve to overcome them can do so. He had not Means he said to educate his children As la came them they not to have Means to find them or their k or patient Mother the proper necessaries of if yet he found the Means to keep the this Tey Pask flowing and to answer the bailiffs mocks for admission by the Loti Roar of drunk enness mad As it was wicked. They got in at last in spite of the. Care taken to keep them out and there was Inch fighting a a am blood spilt bin not to death and while the riot was a foot and we were crying round the death bed of a dying Mother where was lie a they had o ten gallon cask of whiskey on the table in , and astride on it sat my father flourishing the huge Pewter funnel in one hand and the Black Jack streaming with whiskey in the other arid amid the fumes of hot punch that flowed Over the room and Ilie cries a Baths of the fighting Drunken conic any Liis voice was heard swearing he had lived like King and would die like a and Ybur poor Mother l asked Tfank a adj sue diff Itiat Highl he died of tax Giti Kotcis were so called some time ago in Ireland by Caifee they Cou Elcied the a tiny of dogs in the Houyao a before worse come she died on Tho bed that before her Corpse was cold was dragged from under her through the Strong drink Ahro be badness of him who ought to have saved her not that he was a bad ii Iau either when lie whiskey had no Power Over him but he could not Lar his own reflect bils. And his end a came. He did it die like a King he died smothered in a ditch where he fell be died and was in the presence of god Low of there Are things that have had whiskey As their beginning and their end that make me As mud As Ever it made him the Man takes a drop and forgets his starving family the woman takes it and forgets she s a Mother and a wife. Its the curse of ire Ondy a bitterer Blacker deeper curse than Ever was put on it by foreign Power or hard made Laws la god bless us in was Larry a half breathed Jack lotion. 1 Only repeat old Staryos words a said Elen a Yoi Wisee i never forgot,.them. A you might think she code med a that 1 had had warning enough to keep me from having a any thing to say to those who were too fond of drink and 1 thought 1 had but somehow Edward Lambert got around me with his Sweet words and i was alone and unprotected. 1 knew he had a Little fondness for the drop but in him Young handsome and Gay hearted with brightes and sunny hair it did not seem like the horrid thing which had mad eme shed to tear Over my fathers grave. Think of that Roung girl the drink does tit make a Man a least at first but it will do so before its done with him it will do so before done with Lim. 1 had enough Power Over Edward and enough memory of the past to make him swear against it except so much at such and at such rime and for a while he was very particular nit one used to entice film and another used to entice him and i am not going to say but might have managed him differently 1 might have got him off it gently May be but the Pride got the better of me and i thought of the Lino i came of and How 1 had married him who was it my equal and such nonsense which always Breeds disturbance betwixt married people and i used to rave when May be it would have been Wiser if 1 ind reasoned. Any Way Ulings did no to go smooth not that he new Glen cd his employment he was industrious and sorry enough alien the fault was done still he would come lome often the worse for Kritik Nind now that lies dead and gone and no Finger is stretched to me but in scorn or hatred 1 think it May be 1 might have done better but god defend me the last was hard to a of boys said Ellen a if you had Only heard her voice when she said that and seen her face poor Ould lady Stancy no wonder she hated the drop no wonder she Dos lied Down the a you kept this Mig Lily close Ellen a said i Ike a i never heard it i did not like coming Over it a she replied the last is hard to the girl turned Pale while she spoke and Lawrence gave her a Cir of water. A it must be told a said she a the death of her father proved the effects of deliberate drunkenness. What 1 have to any shows what May happen from being even once Nna a to think or act. A i had one child a said Stacy a one a Darling it Lue eyed laughing child. 1 Uever saw any so handsome never knew any s i Good. She was almost three years Ould and he was fond of Here he said he was but its a quark fondness that destroys what it ought to save. It was the pattern of lady Day and Well 1 knew that Edward would not Reisini As he Ycint he almost swore he would but the Promise of a Man Given to drink has no More strength in it than a rope of Sand. 1 took sulky and would it go if had May be it would not have ended Soi the evening came on and 1 thought my Laby breathed hard in her Cradle 1 took the Candle and went Over to look at her her Little face was red and when i Laid Ray Cheek close to her lips so As not to touch them but to feel ice breath it was hot very hot she tossed Ler arms and they were dry and in he measles were about the country and i was frightened for my child. It was Only a half a mile to the doctors i knew every foot of the Road arid so leaving the door on the atch 1 resolved to Tell him How my Darling was and thought 1 should be Back before my husband returned. Grass Yon May be sure did it grow under my feet. 1 ran with All Spe and was it kept Long the doctor said though it seemed Long to me. The Moon was Down when 1 came Honie though the night was Fine. The Cabin we lived in was in a hollow where 1 knew it stood a dark mass 1 thought 1 saw a while Light fog coming out of it 1 ribbed my eyes and darted Forward As a wild Bird flies to its nest when it hears the screams of the Hawk in the heavens. When i reached the door. I saw it was open the fume Cloud come out of it sure enough White and thick Blind with that and terror together i rushed to my child a Cradle. I found my Way to that in Spile of the burning and smothering. But Elte ii Ellen Murphy Iris child the Rose child whose breath had been hot on my Cheek Only a Little while before she was nothing but a cinder. 1 Felt Isaw How it was Iriani Nute. The father had come Home As i expected he had gone to the Cradle to look at his child and dropped the Candle into the Straw and unable to speak or stand had fallen Down and asleep on the floor not two Yards from my child. Of How i run to the what had been my baby 1 Tore across the country like a Banshee i Laid it in his arms 1 told him if he did no to put life Iti it old destroy him arid his House. He thought me mad for there we no breath in her cold of hot coming irom its lips the 1 kiss it in death \ there Vias no Thimig left of my child to think of that i snatched it from where the doctor had Laid it l cursed him for he looked with disgust at my party child.
