Excerpt from Stories for Little Boys and Girls, About the Cold Water ArmyNot only the daughters of Mr. White, but all the townspeople, endeavored to reform him, but their efforts failed, and with shame and sorrow, his children saw him becoming every day more attached to his dissipated habits. Little Bessie, young as she was, felt very deeply her father's disgrace, and many were the tears she shed, whenever he returned to his home, in a state of intoxica tion. Frequently she would venture to climb his knee, and, with kisses and caresses, would plead with him to cease visiting the dram-shops; but she was always roughly repulsed, and commanded to be silent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
