In the picture you see a true emblem of a temperate and virtuous life. Let me here give you a few maxims to commit to memory:—

Avoid and shun the sources of misery.

Be sure not to indulge your appetite.

Strong drink excites a person to do wrong.

Remember you are never out of temptation.

A life of virtue and temperance will secure to you money and time; will give you health, and prosperity, peace, character, respect, and usefulness.
