powers of clocuton would enable him 10 draw:

The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-12-08
Who will say after reading this, that the lit
tie boy has nothing to do with the temperance
cause-that he is too young to understand it?

The following beautiful lines were COM
posed for the temperance concert given in aid
of the Young Mems City Temperance Socie-
ty, by young lady of this city, whose pen
has frequently been employed in rhyming the
praise of temperance.
They speak for themselves, and need no
commentator of ours.
Once again to thee, Temperance, an anthem
we'll raise,
And tell of thy triumph in song;
Once again will our voices unite in thy praise,
And echo thy triumph prolong.
We will tell of the blessings thy light has be-
slowed
On the homes that were lonely and sad,
Of the smile that now beams where the tear
often flowed,
Where the hearts that were mourning, are
glad.
Like an angel of light, thou hast sped through
the earth,
Bidding Hope take the place of Despair;
Thou hast changed the rude oath and the re-
veller's mirth,
To the voice Of Thanksgiving and prayer.
The poor wretched outcast, once treated with
sCorn,
Thou hast sought to restore and reclaim,
And hundreds thus rescued, shall live to adorn,
And brighten thy record of Fame.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-12-08

sitting some time apparently enga ged in deep
thought, Mother, do you think brother James
will ever be such man as Mr.. Roberts was,
when he died?'
why, my dear, do you ask such ques-
ton as that p
Because, have heard you say, that when
he was young man, he was as promising as
any one you knew, and that Mrs Roberts had
fine house and fine furniture; and am sure
[ can remember when Harriet and James went
to school, they were the best dressed children
there. How did it happen, mother, that such
change came over their family?'

Son beautiful evening in October, of 1920,
the mansion of Judge Burton was brilliantly
Illuminated, and all the youth and beauty of
the town were there assembled to celebrate
the nuptials of Charles Roberts and Mary Bur
ton There was all the splendid paraphernalia
of bridal party; the orange flowers that
wreathed the brow of the youthful bride and
her gay companions; the bridal tokens dis
pensed; the snowy loaf; the whispered wishes
of future happiness all told they were about
losing one they valued not lightly. All! little
would you think the bride of that evening was
the heart broken widow of to-day. Not only
rich and accomplished, but an acknowledged
beauty, it was not surprising that there were
many aspirants for her hand; among whom
she chose one acknowledged to be her equal

countenance. His soul was all on fire to do
good. And good he did do. His was ami
mated zeal that burned within. He goes forth
to gather in the lost, and rescue the degraded;
nothing daunted by ridicule or threats. We
hear his loud voice in entreaty, calling upon
drunkards to take courage by him, and come
up and sign the pledge. He tells the simple
and touching story of his own downfall and
his wonderful recovery.
"That little boy, that young recruiting Off
Ger in the cold water army saved me. When
shall forget him? When shall l cease to be
grateful to him? All that am in this world,
all that hope for in the world to come, can
be traced back to the kind invitation of that
little boy, to go with him to the temperance
meeting. Now you see me happy, clothed, in
my right mind; and | trust am willing to sit
at the feet of Jesus and learn of him. All |
need here, | have, and have bright and ami
mating hope of something hereafter.

The old sailor has been as good as his word.
He has seen his 10000 sign the pledge with
their own hands. Thousands will remember
him with everlasting gratitude. Scores and
hundreds once debased, have been, by his in
strumentality, brought up from the gutter, and
have taken their stand among men, and infu
ences have been set In motion, that shall 60
on, producing their good results till time shall
be no more.
We stood upon the deck of a noble steamer
she was crowded with passengers-some
ourneying for business, some for pleasure
some for health. Our sailor stood there too.
The pallor of consumption was upon his face.
He stood STOPPING upon his cane for support.
A placid smile was upon his features. &C am
going home,'' said he "to my kindred, pro-
badly to die am not afraid to die. Iknow
on whom have believed, and am persuaded
that he will keep that which have committed
to him against that day. While live l shall
remember this landing, where I slept on the

bog spoke kind words 10 me, the temperance
