THE UNHAPPY· ONES

J

AMEs.-What is this picture'?

MOTHER.-It shows you how he who drinks ardent spirits

treats his family when at home.

LUCY.-What is he doing there, mother'?

MOTHER.-He is driving his wife out of the house, in the cold,

dark night. See how cruelly he beats her. Hear the wind

whistle. See how the snow flies. See the poor children, wring–

ing their hands and crying out "Oh, father, do not drive

mother away! do not drive mother away!" And then he turns

around and curses them.

BOTH CHILDREN.-Oh! What a monster!
