Drinking liquor it the folly of man. How many homes hate been made unhappy by it? How many dear wives and mother’s hearts have been saddened by it? So many lives have bten driven to destruction just by drinking whiskey. Oh, how sweet the parting in the afternoon -when the kind husband starts out pronr ising his loved ones that he will soon re turn . They sit waiting and watching for him till tho last beam of sunshine fadeth in the weatern skies. He comes at last, but how does he come? Drunk, drunk, and perhaps cursiog in the most evil manner, accusing his dear wife of things she knows nothing of. How dreadful it is for a young wife to be made miserable and unhappy by her dear husband who has become a drunkard. Ah, how aad! As a loving mother was watch ing by the bed side of her only ehild, he said, u tell me true, do drunkards go to Heaven?” “There is for them no promise,” waa the wretched mother’s answer. “Then 1 shall never tee papa again. Tell him good bye, good-bye forever.” Alas where was the father? Away from home drank. Young men and boys, are yon going to dis grace yourselves jnst by drinking liquor? Many people have been disgraced and led to rain by it* Any man, let him be young or old, that has to take a drink of liqnor before talking to his best gill, that is bis sweetheart, ho is net worthy of one; and it is a shame for any girl to continue talking with a man while he is drinking, if she knows that he is drinking. Heed to this warning never marry a man that gets drank. Man that love whiskey think that there is no harm in drinking it; bnt if they will not listen to the jnst, 1st them go on anp perhaps some day they will be convinced, aad learn that it is not doing them any good at all, bnt only leading them to drunkard’s grave. •Inst for fun the yonog no followed after a drunkard, and jnst for fun he took r drink, time after time he took those si drinks, and what became of that youth? Ha became a drunkard; bees ms of his & fibsoon died with sari bees ass her be- Sty*! sea had become a drunk ard. One dunk calls for Mother;tot yooag man never take one drink, aad than yen to want Leaf# that C is for cider. To drink it is wrong. Though at first very weak, It is soon very strong. D is for drunkard, Just look at his nose, How red are his eyes, And how dirty his clothes! E is for evening When he goes out to drink! What he knows does him harm, If he only would think. F is for fountain So merry and clear. Who only drinks water Has nothing of fear. G is for gin That makes people lazy. Then cross to their wives. And finally crazy. H is for hard times Which surely will come When s man spends his money For nothing bur rum. I is for a inn. Like a rat trap, no doubt. When once you get in, It is hard to get out. J is for jail, Where a drunkard is kept Till the fumes of his liquor Away he has slept. K is for knowledge, Of which little remains. When he puts in his mouth, What runs off with his brains. L is for liquor, Whatever the name, The taste, or the color. They are all the same. M is for monkey, Much wiser than man, If you once get him drunk You can’t do it again. N is for Noah. Who planted the vine And, bow sad is the warning! Got drunk upou wine. 0 is for orphan And thousands are made Every month in the year By the rum sellers trade. P is for pledge, All good children should take. If you can’t sign your name Your mark you can make. Q is for quarrel, Look sharp and you'll find In almost every quarrel, There la liquor behind. R la for rum ‘ And for rum sellers too; With one or the other, . Have nothing to do. S is for snow Where the poor drunkard lies Oversome by the liquor, And freezes and dies. T is for tippler Who grows worse and worse, Till he finds, to his sorrow. Not a drop in his purse. U iafor union, In unio» there is strength. With the old and the young. We will conquer at length. V ia for victim. Who staggers around Till ha fall s in the river. Where of course he is drowned. W is for woes On the rum sellers trade. And the curses that rest On the wrecks he has made. X is for Xerxes, A great army had he. But theSurmy of alcohol la larger to see. Yvis for youth, Darling, Oh! forbear. Lest the love of strong drinks, Should thee also ensnare. Z is for zealous, Which I hope you'll all be, ^ HU from whUcey's dominion Our country Is free. V. 0.
