At a meeting on the dock, few Sunday af-
ternoons since, while Sandy Welsh was speak
ing, wag in rags cried out, "Ho, Sandy
Welsh, with his three dollars day and a shil-
ling head for all who sign his pledge!"
Sandy, never at a loss to know what to do, re-
piled, :" Yes, we cold-water men now have our
three dollars day, and are we'll dressed and
well clothed, and well fed; and our families
are comfortable. Now look at us, and then
look at the rummies-look at ourfriend there,
iall in rags; they had better all come and sign
the pledge, and have good clothes and some
thing to eat '-Amer. Temp Union

The Daughters Prayer.
BY T. A. SH EA.

BY T. A. SH EA.
Why so pale that maiden''s cheek;
Why that bosom lifted high,
AS beneath the heart would break
With the anguish of its sigh?
She, alas! has lived to see,
Sight of woe-her fathers shame,
And his brow-oh misery!
Branded with drunkard's name.
AT morn and evening, day by day,
In her chamber, at the shrine,
Does she for that father pray
With a fervency divine.
Oh! she loves him truthfuIly,
He had been her morning star,
Ever guiding tempest free ,t
O'er life's treacherous seas afar.
But with slow and stealthy pace
Came the spirit-demon up,
And with smile of social grace
Babe him drain the festive cup.
That frail moment was the last
To her heart of cloudless light,
How could darkness come so fast
O'er scene so fair and bright?

should deprive them of doing so-but their
views, feelings, and practice are changed, and
they now acknowledge their error, and by a
different conduct, show the sincerity of their
repentance-they now endeavor to promote
temperance, and by so doing, all other bless
ings are put.within reach. Families are now
made cheerful and comfortable, their fireside
enjoyments restored, and society wears a
cheering and smiling aspect-MGine Wash
