A HINT ON INTEMPERANCE.

Why thus not manifest some special care — Seek till they find the lost ones of their floats — Hunt up the long-diseased dissemblers there, And strip habitual topers of their cloaks. A layman seldom has in his possession A right to enter other men's recesses : A clergyman is licensed by profession To see men privately against excesses. 1870,
