THE WINE CUP.
ny MRS. G. M. SAWYER.


Dash down the sparkling cup! It's CLEAN,
Like the pale corse light DER the tomb,
Is but false deceitful beam,
To lure thee onward TO thy doom.
The sparkling CLEAN will fade away,
And round thy lost bewildered feet,
Mid darkness terror and dismay,
The CHASTITY shapes of death will meet.
Dash down the cup poison sleeps,
In every drop thy lips would drain.
To make thy life blood seethe and leap,
A fiery food, through every vein
A fiery flood that will etface,
By slow degrees thy god-like mind,
Till mid its ashes, not trace
Of reason shall be left behind.
Dash down the cup! serpent starts
Beneath the flowers that crown its brim,
Whose deadly fangs will strike thy heart,
And make thy flashing eye grow dim
Before whose hot and maddcning breath
More fatal than the simeon blast
Thy manhood in unhonored death,
Will sink worthless wreck at last.
Dash down the wine cup thy father stand,
And pleads in accents deep and low
Thine anguished mother clasps her hands,
With quivering lips and worthless woe.
They who have borne thee on their breast
And shielded thee through many year;
Oh, would'st thou make their bosoms blest
Their life joy-their pleading hear!
Dash down the cupl thy young wife kneels !;
Her eyes, whose drops have often gushcd,
Are turned with mute and soft appeal,
Upon thy babe in slumber hushed.
Ddst thou not WOO her in thy youth
With many fond and solemn vow?
Oh, turn again, and all her truth
And love shall be rewarded now!
Dash down the cup! and on thy brow,
Though darkened DER with many a stain,
Thy manhood's light so feeble now
Shall bright and steady burn again.
Thy strength shall, like the tabled bird,
From its own ashes upward spring.
And fountains in thy breast be stirred;
Whose waters living joys shall bring!

A RICH sronY-some weeks ago there was

A RICH SToRY-Some weeks ago there was
a gathering of the alumnui of Rockland Col
lege, Louisiana, when the following hitherto
unedited story was told:
A tall, awkward looking chap, just from the
Green Mountains Of Vermont, came on board
of one of the North River boats at Albany
His curiosity was amazingly excited at once,
and he commenced "peeking" as he called it
into every nook and corner on the boat. The
captains office, the engine room, the water clos
cts, the barber's shop, all underwent his inspec-
tion and then he went on deck and stood in
amazement at the lever beam, the chimneys and
the various fixins," till at last he caught sight
of the bell This was the browning wonder,
and he viewed it from every position, walked
around it, and exclaimed:
"Wall, rally, this beats the bell on our meet
in house great sight"
BY this time the attention Of the captain and
several Of the passengers was attracted to this
genius.
How much would you ask to let feller
ring this bel!?"
"You may ring it for dollar, sir" said the
captain.
"Wall it's bargain, all fair and agreed, and
no backing OUT
"It's a bargain, SIR" said the captain.
Our hero went deliberately and brought n
seat and took hold of the bell-rope, and having
arranged everything to his satisfaction, CON-
menced ringing slowly at first, and gradually
faster and faster, till everybody on board tho't
the boat was on fire, and rushed on deck scream
ing with alarm.
There stood the captain, and there sat the
" Vermonter," ringing away first slow and then
fast, and then two or three taps at a time.
The passengers began to expostulate the
captain said it was bargain. But the passen-
gers became urgent that the eternal cangor
should be stopped.
All the while there sat our hero undisturbed,
ringing away more ways than cockney chime
ringer ever dreampt Of
AT last the captain began to think it time to
stop the simpleton; but his answer was a fair
bargain, and no backing out" andpe rang away
for dear life.
"Well," says the captain, tat will you
take to STOP"
"Wall, capn, guess shant lose nothing
if take five dollars and free passage to New
York, but not darnd cent less.
| "Well, walk down to the Office and get your
money and passage ticket" said the captain.
