AN INFAMOUS MO KERY.

(advertisement.) " Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.*' Who relishes being held up to mockery and ridicule ? And yet the devotee ot strong drink voluntarily and regularly subjects himself to this very kind ot thin^. None of the ends for which he drinks are answered. His practice of drinking is a huge and disgusting tailure. Does he drink to quench and satisfy his thirst?
