1930 The Saloon in the Home

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS 0 F the fifty young men with whom I parted, leaving them to enjoy the pleasures of eating, drinking, smok– ing and gambling, forty-four have already gone to destruction. Some of them came to a most terrible end. "One, in a state of intoxication, fell head foremost from the pier at Havre, France, and became embedded in the mud. The receding tide exposed his sad and dishonored remains to the public view." The Hon. E. C. Delavan, 1830. [ 39]
