Arise, for the day is passing
sl While you lie dreaming on; syr-s
Your brothers are cased in armor,
And forth to the fight are gone; -.
Your place In the ranks awaits you -
Each man has a part to play;
! The past and future are nothing
In the face ofthe stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future
or gaining hard fought field,
or storming the airy fortress,
OF bidding the giant yield !
Your life may have deeds Of glory,
Ofhonor; God grant 1t may
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as now to-day.
Arise If the past detain you, .,1
~ Her sunshine and storms forget, q s
No chains SO unworthy to hold you
As those Of vain regret;
Sad or bright, she Is lifeless ever
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nsr look back, save to learn the lesson
OF o noble strife to-day. .E
Arise for the hour is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is your enemy marching to battle;
Rise rise for the foe Is near.
Stay nos 10 brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from dreams Of a coming battle
You will wake, and find 1t past. tga

ed IN his remarks by saying that the import
ance OF the temperance cause was the only
reason he could present for urging it upon
their attention e. this time, when anxiety,
with reference to our national difficulties oc

spin. o. rebellion is painting our streams red
Tlth the blood, and fattening our own native
soll with the bodies Of our kindred, there is
another evil spirit dragging thousands Of our
fellows down to the silent halls Of death. And
Whle we spare no pains to crush the demon
OF secession, we should al the same time carry
on a deadly warfare with the demon of in
temperance. He said the license system al.
ways had failed, and always aoouid fail l.; that
II had not in IL the elements of success, but
those of destruction. lie closed his remarks
