What I Have Seen
"I heard the wail of children crying for bread, and their mothers had not to give them. I have seen the babe pulling breasts as dry as if the starved mother had been dead. I have known a father to turn a stepdaughter into the street at night, bidding the sobbing girl, who bloomed into womanhood, to earn her bread as others were doing. I Have bent over the foul pallet of a dying lad to hear him whisper that his father and mother, who were sitting half drunk by the fireside had pulled the blankets off his body to sell for drink. I saw the children blanched like plants growing in a cellar; for weeks they never breathed a mouthful of fresh air, for want of rags to cover their nakedness, and they lived in continual terror of a drunken father or mother coming home to beat them. I do not recollect ever seeing a mother in these wretched dwellings dandling her infant, or of hearing the little creature coo of laugh. These are some of drink's doings: but nobody can know the misery I suffered amid those scenes of wretchedness, want and sin." ‹Dr. Guthrie.
