Now come with me, I will show you,
I will piiu you to another,
Not n gambler, hut his. brother,
For both labor in one calling.
That of spreading Satan kingdom,
And increasing his dominions.
Hut this man that now I show you
Is not sick, or weak or helpless.
He is young nnd able-bodied
Strong, ns any other j like him,
Hut too lazy he lo work is
Therrforo to Bomo other calling
He devotes his mind nnd body
Mind nnd body did I tell you?
Mind but very little has he,
Ami but little any other
Who pursues thi shameful business,
For he is a whiskey trader
Selling whiskey for a living,
Though he kills a thousand by il,
If he only gets their money,
He doth care but little for it.
For he thinks himself a trader,
Trading whiskey gin or brandy,
Of all qualities and prices,
Made of logwood and tobacco,
With n little pepper. In it,
Or some poison from the druggist
These are put into some water
And forthwith 'tis metamorphosed
Into wine or gin, or bianily,
Or It may lie old rye whiskey,
Just according to its color,
Though no rye was ever In it,
Though no grapes were ever nigh it,
It he says is choicest liquor
Purest wine, and best of brandy.
(Though he knows tis only rot-oct.)
This he puts in different bottles,
With a table in the corner,
Or behind gome heavy enrtain
With a pack of cards upon it,
He, with heart, hard as a millstone,
And a conscience, jst like rubber ,
Stands (o get his neighbors money '
For his nasty filthy whiskey
For his wine made out of logwood
(Though he ciiamtacne sometimes calls it,
And again calls it Madeira,)
His tobacco flavored brandy.
There he stands from morn' till evening
And from evening un'.ill midnight,
Sidling to his neighbors whiskey
Getting from his neighbors money,
And himself the while persuadelh,
That he has an honest calling,
That the PEorLF. need ms whiskey,
That he needs the people money
Therefore both are much advantaged.
He has money, they have whiskey,
And this country is a free one,
That lo slop him would be taking
Liberty and rights of conscience,
Rights of conscience, did I tell you?
Conscjeuce I why the man has got none,
He has drowned it in his whiskey,
He has put it in his bottle,
He with poisonous drugs ha killed it.
True, n hundred prayer are uttertd
(By the men who buy hi whiskey,)
For themscivrs suit those around them,
That God would to Hell condemn them,
But the whiskey trader heed not
For his heart is et on money,
Conscience quieter, that money,
Now he sees hi neighbor passing
Wishes he would rail upon him,
Wishes he would buy some whiskey
Wonders if he has the money,
Hates to sell it on credit,
Wishes every one would drink it,
Every one for cash would buy it,
Though he knows 'twill be their ruin, .
Ruin in both soul and body,
Ruin in their heal.'h and morals,
Utter ruin and forever.
See the young men goin? thither
Going to the whiskey trader,
Thinking they are very thirsty,
Thinking they must have some brandy,
Some to drink to make them warmer,
Or if warm to make them cooler,
Or if sick to make them better,
Or if well to make them merry
Such the virtue r nr. tii r.v musk it. . ,
B it when swallowed, oh how sicknlng!
Oh how changed I what shameful spewing,
O what wallowing in the gutter.
Whit foal language too they utter 1
But the trader now is pleasant,
Very smiling is h to them
And accommodating, very,
Just because he wants theirmoney.
Wants it all, the dimes and quarters.
Enter they that house polluted,
Enter they, that pest of countries
Enter they that de:i of robbers,
Robbers of their country moral,
Of the peace of helples women,
Go they t Hint pvipcr maker'

Gentlemen, he says, good evening, '.
Will yon havo some wins or brandy ? i
Or perhaps a little toddy, (i ,
With some oysters if your hungry.
Then he mixes up a glussfull
Of bis nasty filthy liquor
With perhaps a little imgnr
Or a little spice or lemon.
Up thon lo hi counter go lliey
But how dillcrcuMy they drink it
One with greediness cngulph il
At one swallow; but another
That he may the more enjoy it
Sips a little and a little,
Sips, mil ill he has his cau full,
While another slill mors careful
Takes n straw and on the counter
Sets his glass, and leaning by it,
Like a lar.y idle loafer,
Through the straw quite slowly suck it.
Thu they drink the trader whiskey,
Or whatever filthy mixture
Ha may give them for their money
Thus tliey drink eneh other ruin. I .
Then they sit down by a table
And a decK of cards they call for
With tho cards they want inor brandy
And the looser this must pay for.
For so righteous are these tiplers,
That they fear to play for money,
Till at least they're playd for whiskey.
On, till late at night, they set Ihere,
Playing curds, and drinking whisxey,
Drinking home made wine and brandy
Till they feel themselves quite boozy
Till they drlnK their poricet empty '
Till the trader ha their money,
And they have the trader whisKey,
But Ibeir money buy more whisxey ,
Which again the trader sells them. .

Selling whisKey to his neighbors, '
