monweath In that time, Rev. Mr.. Combs,
who has acted as agent, has addressed no t
less than 627 public schools, IS of them
twice. The pledge has been signed by H.

has addressed 300 Sabbath schools. The
IS. S. Temperance Book prepared by
the Alliance, containing 200 pages, with

The GIRL OF THE PERIOD.

She sits in fashionable parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She IS clad in silks and satins,
And ierels-are In her hair;
She winks and giggles and simpers,
And simpers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis a good deal more than she thinks
Sh. lies ahed in the morning
Til nearly the hour of noon,
Then comes down swapping and snarling
Because she was called so soon,
Her hair is still in papers,
Her cheeks still fresh with paint
Remains of her last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint
She dOsts upon men unshaven
And men with flowing hair;
She's eloquent over mOustaches;
They give such foreign air
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon;
And if a mouse were to meet her,
She would sink away in swoon.
Her feet are SO very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her Jewels so very heavy,
And her head so very light,
Her color As made of cosmetics
Though this she will never own,
Her body 5 made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She fails in love with fellow
Who swells with foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for hi.-hair
"One of the very best matches
Both arc well mated in life
She got fool for husband,
He's got fool for wife
