"Ee Temperate In All Things
In thisour happy and progressive age,
When drinking, smoking, chewing S
all the rage; 49,.
When beardless boys think smoking
makes them men, .-.s
And thcy're unhappy, unless in a den
Where what's dispensed tends only To
disgrace.
Marring the beauty of each youthful
face; .... #.
When Misses too will much their skirts
expand, .........
And wrap themselves with many a
metal band;
And moral people do just what they
Yet scold at Others for not keeping sti!l ;
And men are suffered keeping such vile
places, w..
That in them, all should blush to show
their faces; ..... .. ...
War widows strive, it seeming all their
aim,
To turn tho youth from virtue, truth,
and fame;
Boys, with less sense than even has
old Bunk"
By them are sent of somewhere to get
.-. drunk
While wandering minstrels, with the
.... string and bow. . .-. o.
Entice yoang people in bad ways to go;
Females Oft gaddinG in the open street,
Smiling and nodding at the lops they
meet;
When men Mt night go wandering
through the SHOWS,
And oft, for lack Of foresight, do get
froze;--
My theme is Temperance, most essen
tial theme,
To all the youth, with whom these
regions teem.
Far back in ancient times, It's Bible
truth,
We have no record of drunken youth.
But Que with years and mind full well
matured
Fell from his dignity, Oike William
s5@wiSd.)
Let's follow down along the stream of
And see il drinking liquor is crime.
Once, in the flight Of many ages past,
The World was urOWn'd that sin might
be out-cust.
Eight souls being saved, they reared n
good!y vine,
Whose clusters pressed made sparkling
ruby wine.
Old Noah drank, and thus his weakness
show'd
BY taking on himself too great load.
Ham laugh'd 10 sec his father la such
plight,
As many now laugh at n drunken fight.
But Ham was cursed, and 30 was all his
race,
Doom'd to perpetual bondage, shame
disgrace.
Time rolls along, and progress marks
It's flight;
| Now man believes" what ever is, Il
right"
He seeks king, and leaves his former
path;
a king he gets, but given him in wrath
| q yes! u king that's "head and should
| ers higher"
Than Saul or Ahaz lit is Liquid Fire
| 'li4 AlcohoPs own son, u ruler strong,
| That binds his subjects with II bruta
thong.
