i * "'» Bar-keepers in this city pay on an average two dollars per gallon for Whisky. One gallon contains an average of sixty-fiv drinks, and at 10 cents » idriak, the poor man pays six dollars fifty cents per gallon for his whisky. In other words he pays two dollars for tho whisky and four dollars fifty cents to a man for handing it over the bar. Make your wife your bar-keeper. Lend her two dollars to buy a gallon of whisky for a beginning, and every time yon -want a rlrink, go to her and pay ten cents for it. "By the time you have drunk a gallon she will have six dollare fifty cents, or enough money to refund the two dollars borrowed of you, to pay for another gallon of liquor,' and have a balance of two jdollars, fifty cents. She will be al>le to conduct, future ; operations on her own Capital, and/when you become an inebriate, unable to support yourself, shunned and despised, by "all respectable persons, your wife will have money enough .to keep you until 'you get ready to fill a drunkard's grave.— Rev. C. T. Campbell, Mays•ville, Kentucky.
