lie had bowed down TO drunkenness,
An abjeci worshipper;
The pulse OF ,naniood's pride had gone
Too faint and cold 10 stir;
And he had given his spirit up
Into the hnmblest thTall;
And bowing to the poison cup
He gloried in his fall.
There came change the cloud rolled of
And light fell on his brain
Aud like the passing OF dream
That coineih not again,
The shadow OF his spirit fled,
He saw the gull before
He shnddered at the waste behind
And was man once more.
He shook the serpent's fold away,
That gathered round his heart,
As shakes the swaying forest oak
Its poison vine apart;
He stood erect returning pride
Grew terrible within;
An! Conscience sat In judgment on
His most familiar sin.
The light Of intellect again
Along his pathway shone;
And Reason ike mohutSH stoou
Upon IFS golden throne;
The honored ard the wise once more
Wiihia his presence came
And fingered of on lovely lips
His once forbidden name.
There may Re glory in the might
That ireadeth nations down
Wreaihs for the crimson conqueror--
Pride for the kingle crown

The disenihralled she'll find
When evil passion boweih down
