Break through it, tolls while yer YOU may
Rush from the warmth OF It's emoracmg'
Heed not its syren calls-away-
Each little dram grave Is facing.
Drink not again. be wise, be free!
Seize ON a noble resolr: oil;
Runs leprous arms encite!e thee
Yield not again TO its pollution.
Drown not the still voice of the SOUL
Each draught a seed of wo Is planttnS
Drink not, though beauty pledge the b ~,
There's death beneath It's light en- ,hahting'
Shake off the curse with manly mig:i:-
Count not a depth of shame and error!
Turn not your brightest days 10 night
Oh, follow not this fatal error.
Crush not pure and noble mind,
Make not degraded taste a merritt
Wake from your dream. Oh, be not blind
To Gods bright gifts which you inherit.
Shake off the bonds which bind you down
To cold, relentless, heartless fashion,;
Sunder tn accused ties you own
Sink not slave TO damning passion!
Rise from your burning bed of shame,
Yield not again to the foul demon -.-
Stop not, nor pause-go forth-Teclaim
Be thou a mana god-like freeman!

The Grey chicks are weakly, while the pleas

A GRowING STONE. Mr.. William Beach
a iourneyman printer, of Auburn, N. Y,
writes to tho New York Tribune that he has
in his possession a stone of which he says
The stone is oval, diamond shaped, hav-
ing eighteen sides, being about fve-eighths
of an inch in length and half an inch in thick
ness.
1t has been in my possession for the last
nine years. During thattime there has grown
from its side another stone of like shape,
about the size of common pea, having eleven
sides. The parent stone has not diminished
at all, but rather increased. The color of
the stone is pure white, being perfectly
transparent. excepting the shape of the stone
giving the prismatic colors of light, which
grows out Of the convergence of its many
sides. Also, in the smaller one, is slight
tinge of amber. 1t is quite hard, cutting
glass with ease, though its corners and end:
are quite obtuse.'
