SONG OF THE DEcANrER.

There was an old decan-
ter, and its mouth was
gaping wide; the
rosy wine had
fed away
and left
its crys-

and the wind
went hummiug--
humming, as
up and
down the
sides 1t few;
and through the
reed-like
hollow neck
the widest nots IL
blew. placed it in the
window, where the blast was
blowing free and fancied that its
pale mouth sang the queerest strains to
me. "They tell me, puny conquerors ! the
Plague has slain his ten aud War his hundred
thousand Of the very best of men; TIT wa
thus the bottle spoke-"butI have conquered
more, than all your former conquerors, so
feared and famed OF yore. Then, come,
We youths and maidens all, come drink
from out my cup, the beverage that
dulls the brain, and burns the spirit
upl that puts TO shame the conquer
ors that slay their scores below;
while this has deluged millions
with the lava tide of woe. Tho
Ia the tide of battle, darkest
waves Of blood may ROLL my
victims in their bomesare
crushed, we damned the
very soul. The Cholera,
Plague and Sword,
such ruin never
wrought, as
In mirth or malice, on

By reason of its greater concentration, we

of those selling at 20 per cent. more per ton.
Hence its economy.
