 From many a poisonous Till, God calls us to deliver
 The victims of the still. What though they sing of pleasure, While each the goblet fills; What though their bliss they measure By quarts and pints and gills; In vain. with lavished kindness,
 Heaven gives us richest bread, Distillers in their blindness,
 Make poison in its stead. Shall we, by Temp'rance aided
 In health and peace to live, Shall we, to men degraded,
 Refuse the boon to give ] The Fountain! Oh the Fountain
 The balm of health proclaim, Till men OCT sea and mountain
 Shall haste to tell is fame! Wah, waft, ye winds, the story,
 And you ye waters roll, ~. Till te,np'rance in it's glory,
 Shall spread from pole to pole; Til health and peace, and blessing Shall follow in its train; And Christ, all hearts possessing,

Look moi on tiie Wine when
 Bed" A soNG---BY A. B. MEEK, ESQ.

Oh look not on the wine when red;
 When sparkling in the crystal cup, For, though bright lues are round it shed,
 Twill burn thy priceless spirit up. le dark-browed Queen of Egypt gave 1T richest jewels to its wave, md as they pcrished, in the bowl Will sink the treasures of thy soul! Oh look not on the crimson wine,
 Lei not its waters kiss thy lipa, For in their gay, dclusive shrine
 There' hidden death for him who sips ; The ollen fount the prophet viewed, .. Cleaned brightly in the solitude ~0 But for him, who drank, grave Was fouud by Marah's bitter wave Oh look not on the treacherous wine,
 When manted in the jewelled bowl :; Tho wreaths and flowers around 1t twine,
 They breathe poison on the soul. The orient Upas proudly waves Its foliage o'era land of graves: And thus the fower-wrcathed gobiet's
 breath
 Brings desoation, woe, and death !-- Oh look not on the tempting wine;
 Pass not beneath its syren rod, Nor bow before its demon shrine,
 The image of creations God!-- It is the tabled Circe bowl, That dwarled the stature, drowned the
 soul;
 And by it's sorcery, fell though mute. Transformed the angel to the brute Oh look not on the wine when red; Ii is the dcadiest human foe; It wreaths cypress round the head,
 And lays the lofiiest trophies low. Itdarkens virtue, poisons health, Blasts peace and hope, and robs of wealth; Crime, pain, and famine round it tread,- Then look not on the wine when red
