FILL UP THE CUP.

Fill up the cupl and let 1t flow
With the purest drink that earth can yield
To beauty's cheek it gives glow,
And decks the lilies OF the field.
In its pure wave TO poisons sleep
To steal the reason-fre the brain!
1t never makes the orphan weep,
Nor soils the hero's wreath OF fame.
From bubbling brook and mountain free
Il brightly fows-'tis freely given;
Fill high tie cup! I'll drink to thee,
A precious gift to man from Heaven!
The ruby wine may richly flow
From luscious grape to tempt the eye,
1t has a false, deceitful glow;
Then touch it not-from danger fly!
The humble violet on the sod,
The gay bird singing light and free,
Both sing their songs praise to God
From how'ry plain and shady tree'
Then once again that nectar bring
When Heavens goodness gives to man
The bright drops of the sparkling spring
That | may drink to thee again!

Now launch your bark on that Niagara river if is

behind adds to your enjoyment. Down the stream
YOU glide, oars sails and helm in proper TRIM and
YOU set out on your pleasure excursion, suddenly
some one cries out from the bank.
''Young man, ahoy!"
s'What is itg'
''The rapids are below you"
Hal hal we have heard of the rapids, but we
are not such fools as to get there. Ii we go too
fast. then we shall up with the helm and steer to
the shore we will set the mast in the socket hoist
the sail, and speed to land. Then on boys don't
be alarmed-there's no danger"
ssYoung men, ahoy there!''
@What is ita'
'The rapids are below youI'
"Hal hal we will laugh and quaf; all things de-
light us. What care we for the futures No man
ever saw it, Sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof. We will enjoy life while We may; we
will catch pleasure as it flies. This is enjoyment

nostrils and the veins stand like whipcords upon
the brow! Set the mast in the socket hoist the
