The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

Teetotalism or No Wife

Teetotalism or No Wife.

In a city of the United States (Gough relates), a procession of female Rechabites was once passing along the main street. In the midst of one group of young women, the following inscription appeared on a tall banner:—" A Teetotaler or Nobody!" A young man, who had a sweetheart in the midst of that group, happened just then to be smoking his pipe and drinking his glass at an inn-door. But he trembled when he saw the banner, and who was holding it. "Give up the drink, or else her! that's it," said he. But he manfully gave up the liquor, and now there is not a happier couple in the whole city. It would be well if every woman made a similar resolution.
