LUCY.
Who supports their families'?
MOTHER.
Their wives support themselves and their children by
hard work. These wretched men spend all their own earn–
ings at the tavern and grog shop; and they often take the
money their wives have earned, to buy whiskey while their
children are crying for bread.
All the children.-Oh, how cruel!

I'LL NOT BEGIN
W
HY
should I learn .to smoke and chew'?
No reason good I know,
It helps not body, heart or soul;–
And is it manly'? No!
Why should I not'? It injures health;
'Tis filthy, leads to sin;
Costs money, time, and int<dlect;
No! No! I'll not begin.

A Remsen Cooler
Peel a lemon as you would an apple; then place
the ring in a large tumbler, add two lumps of ice,
Scotch whiskey to taste; and fill with sparkling
water.
