He may lose time in frequenting the places where liquors are sold and drunk, and may learn thus to be idle. He may come to love these places better than his home, which is it) all ways one of the worst of bad habits. He will be very likely to fall into bad company, and may lose the relish for that which is good. He will almost necessarily hear much profane and vulgar speech, and may learn to use it himself.
