A NOBLE BOY
/
N
OT
long ago in a small town in Mass., a wretched vic–
tim of habit thus accosted a lad standing at a shop
door: "I say, boy, can you tell me where there's a
dram-shop'?" "No," replied the youth, "I never tell anyone
where to find such
pl~ces." H~w
much more truly noble was
this, than the conduct of those fashionable "Abstainers" who,
refusing the evil drink themselves, will yet furnish it to others.
