81 think there are not more absolute
drunkards here than in our American
cities, but the habit of drinking for

aristocracy drink, almost to man; so
do the middle class, SO do the clergy; so,
alas! do the women! There is less OF

VARIETY
White Roses.

They were gathered for bridafl
knew it by their hue;
Faipas the summer moonlight
Upon the sleeping dew.
From their fair and fairy sisters
They were borne, without sigh,
For one remembered evening
To blossom and to die.
They were gathered for bridal!
And fastened in a wreath;
But purer were the roses
Than the heart that lay beneath;
Yet the beaming eye was lovely,
And the coral lip was fair,
And the gazer looked and asked not
For the secret hidden there.
They were gathered for bridal
Where thousand torches glistened,
When the holy words were spoken,
And the false and faithless listened
And answered to the vow
Which another heart had taken,
Yet he was present then
The once loved, the forsaken.
They were gathered for bridal!
And now, now they are dying,
And young Love at the altar
OF broken faith is signing.
Their summer life was stainless,
And not like hers who wore them;
They are faded, and the farewell
Of beauty fingers DER them!
