' For, two years langer,l continued to drink con stantly, and .1 could, at the termination of that period, drink fifteen or twenty _glasses a day. All that-time my appetite, though not actually destroyed; was . eapriciouS; in the extreme; tbough I did .notdose , flesh, at least , not mark edly so During,all! this time,: also, I con tinued,in high.animaispiritaand,the stimulant seemed.tome the ladder thatled to the gates of Heaven.; but. alas !for mei 'when I reached its topmost round my wings were burnt, . the .f_mal receded, and crushed by my own folly I tell, and saw,beneath me a fathomless abyss too surely mine ; a pit purchased by my own blbod,.dug by my own hands.-- I - gradually eased -alfthe.n the use of the stimulant,- for about three months, but with the greatest dif ficulty and suffering to myself. I was seeking tor employment; at the end of, that time I ob tained it, and I had almost forgotten the taste of liquor; but .1 found "was only respited, not redeemed. Two months after I entered upon the duties of my situation the appetite was re newed and I felt _craving for liq uor. After twtrmonths, in which 1 indulged in the use of all -kinds •ef stimulants, 1 finally settle.d: upon whisky as being-the most powerful of them all ; 1 then, went .headlong back to my old career, 1 began with one glass a day, and for the six months ending the last day 'of Nev., - my daily qualitlitti was thirty.or forty glasses, and .I,could,no more have avoided putting into my body this daily: supply than, I could have walked over.a burning ploughshare without scorching my feet.. If I tried to break through the habit a few hours deprivation of the stimu lant gave rise to a physical and mental pros tration that no pen can adequately depict, no language convey."
