WJBDNBSDAY, JONS 8. A SONG OP RUIN. Who cues for nothing alone is free: Sit down, good fellow, and drink with ase. Withjt careless heart and * merry eye, Be-will laugh at the world as the world goes He langhs at power and wealth and fame ; Be langhs at virtue, he laughs at shame ; He langhs at hope and he langhs at fear, And at memory's dead leaves, crisp and sere ; He laughs ait tie future, eoTd and dim ??or earth, nor heaven ia dear to him. -, Oh, that is the comrade ?t for me He earea for nothing-bis son! ls Tree ; Free as the soul of tte fragrant wine : Si t do wo, good fellow, my . heart is thine ; Foci- heed: not custom, ereed, nor lair ; 1 care for nothing that ever I saw !

I laugh at joy, and well I know, ThatI-mexrUyy merrily laughmat woe. I terr ft ry laugh, with an oath and ?sneer When I think that the boor of death is near ; For I know that death ia a guest divine, jj Who ?hall drink my blood nt I drink wine. I And be cares for nothing ! A king is he ! Come on, old fellew, and drink with me 1 With yon I will drink to the solemn past, Though^ the CBJK that 1^ drain shoaldi>e ray I will drink to the phantoms of love and truth ; To ruinedirraahood and wasted youth ; I ?will drink to the woman who wrought my woe, _ ? _ : / In the diamond" morning of Long Ago ; ? To a heavenly face in sweet repose ; - To the lily's snow and the blood of the rose ; To the splendor, caught from the orient skies, That thrilled, ia the dark of.her hazel eyes Her' l?rg?-eyes, 'wild*with, the -?B?" of the south, And the dewy wine of her warm, red mouth. I wfl^ drink lo the thou gut of a lefter time : ToK?e ianocent goae Ek?*a ideath-Del? chime. 3i t * ?i * s " ?

"An?Hait of all to the "Monarch of Sin. ^ho ha? conquered that fortress and reigns "within. My sight is fading-it dies away ; I cannot tell-is it night or day ? My heart? burnt and blackened/with pain, Ancf a'bombie "darkness~cr"uslies"my brain.

The French have projected a* canal enterprise which surpasses those of Panama and Suez in magnitude. It proposes a ship canal which shall unite the Mediterranean sea with the Persian Gulf.

The great i event of the meeting, however, was I the re uuion of the two Lodges.

Editor Christian Advocate : In Dr. J. H. Vincent's 'Lesson Commentary ^on the International Lessons,' in the lesson for" ?pril 18-Christ turoiug water into wine-there appears the fol? lowing note form the Cambridge Bible: 'It is urged that Christ would not have supplied the. means for gross ex j;ee8s ; and to avoid this supposed diffi? culty it is suggested that the wine was not intoxicating-that is, teas not icine fat all' (The italics are mine.) The insertion of this note, to the exclusion of all other and later authori? ties that bold directly contrary views to fetlte tbeory^ihatfthere-were no ^ines' except sueuVas contalned'-the poison vf o?kohol, is calculated to do much harm -io?th e morals of thc children and*youth ?O?our Church, as it instructs th^em iu the monstrous; idea that our Saviour J?aus Christ 'put the ;hottl? -(ini?oXica ting drink) to his neigh bor'slips ,' and upholds the deluded moderationists in their fanatical pretense that indulgence ianthe use of intoxicating liquor as'.a yp?ik^is followip^ the example bf pShl^feand h^isciples. : ; - Dr. Vincent might at least Bave admitted the testimony of learned and pious men, which abounds in the. tem? perance literature of the "day, ~to* the effect that to abtain the 'best wine' it ?3 not necessary the expressed juice of ithergrapB pass- through-the stage- of fermentation (or>;.putrefaction).

To this abundant sober testimony I will add the words of Prof. Moses Stuart : 'My final .conclusion" is/this; namely, that whenever the Scriptures speak of wine as a comfort, a blessing, o?a libation to God, -and rank , it .with ^such, articles as corn stt? oily they mean -iirey ein .me??r-onlyt?uch- wine as contained no alcoliol, and wherein they denounce it, prohibit, and connect it ^w^^drunkennejBS,;and reveling;, zthey calmean only alcoholic, : or intoxica? ting, wine.1 There are more 'notes' in the same lesson-April 18-on this 'wine* ques? tion which will justly bear as strong protest as I make to thc one selected, but I forbear.

It has been a great mystery with, [some people to know what to do with the Bible wines ! In one place, you are warned not even to look upon it;. .in another, it is said to cheer God and man.
