THE PLEDGE.

Ye young and uprising, o hcarkcn to me,
While ], as thy brother, would speak unto thee :
The monster, lntcmperancc, has sit on his throne
And triumph'd thrOng ages that have past and
gone.
Our fathers have seen what great evils arise
from his dread dominion and opened their cYes;
They have, in some measure, hurled him from
his throne,
let there is still lcfl much by us to be done;
For Shame to Columbia, the free and the grand,
lnt',mpcrancc still harbors at peace In our land;
And many, alas, are too far now to save,
And some viii at length fill n drunkark's cold
grave,
For some who have reached the meridian of life.
And met with it, changes its caros and it, strife,
nave Thought that when sorrows were rising a.
round,
They might in the cup of Intcmpcrancs be
drowned
They try IT, and find that, alas It's In vain, .'
TO hope, from this method, real pleasure to
b gain;
Yet tis tue, though an oil maxim il has been,
That the senses ave out wi,ils the liqaor Is in,
And thus, by destroying all their power 10 think,
They hope to enjoy a real pleasure from drink !:
But can any pleasure attend such life,
With ca'sings from the grcg-shop they 80 to
Aud she who to meet them with sweet smiles
would go
Stands afltightcd and trembling for fear Of blow
j. isa pleasure with such shameful neglect
To treat the fair being they vowed To protect,
That tair being that makes even life seem more
dear
And seems like an angel sent lif.'s path to cheer
IL can he no pleasure 20 act such n part
Hut shameful TO any that have a pure heart
Then let US improve who now are but young
And yet by the Poison have not much been stung,
Nor say as have heard some say in my liz.
II would not get drunk II | but had a WIFE"
How vain an excuse, just notice their whole life
They marry the poison instead af "a wife,
For II they should marry they would grow more
stern,
And say have gone too far TO return;
Then viewing those evils, let us not postpone
Nor leave till Tomorrow what, to-day should be
done
For thousands of evils that have not told
Attend all those who are intempcrnte ill old
As TO drink hut little there H. great danger in
Of being drlinkaid aud welded To the Sin
Lot W. agree in firm Pledge one and all.
That, We for the future win drink none at all. y
