Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Silver Cup of Sparkling Drops, From Many Fountains: For the Friends of Temperance
We went on, and, father, a citizen of no ble air and majestic form descended the wide steps of his fine mansion. His wife put back the curtains, and watched him eagerly and wishfully, as he rode away. She was very, very lovely, fairer than any lady of the court, but the shadow of a sad heart was fast falling on her beauty. We saw her gaze around upon the desolate splendor of her saloon, and then clasp her hands in the wild agony of despair. When we returned, her husband lay helpless on a couch, and she sat weeping beside him.
