NOTE BY THE AUTHOR.
THE principal incidents in the following true story were first presented to me in a sketch by the Rev. B. P. Aydelott, D.D., of Cincinnati.
Perhaps the temptations, the struggles, and the ruin of the subject of this tale are far beyond what unaided imagination could depict. Those who read may rest assured that they are not perusing a romance of what alcoholic drinks may do, but a careful narration of what they have done, and may do again in any individual case. The sketch referred to has been preserved in a valuable Tract.
