How many young women, especially those connected with
factories, do we see go into the dram shops! On a Saturday
night, hundreds, it is believed, in this town, call after they have
received their wages, to get a dram. Let us remember, that they
are making a dreadful compact with the devil and are hastening
on to death and hell. Can a youth of sin be succeeded by a ma–
turity of comfort, or an old age of serenity'? As well might we
expect a blasted tree to flourish! Early dissipation will entail a
life of misery.
