Temperance Song.

Temperance Song.
The following lines were written for the
Journal and are dedicated to Mr. Nye's chill
dren:
We're an army ofchildren equipping for battle,
Stout-he arted, and resolute, never you mindl-
The lannon's fierce flashes, and thunderous rattle,
May make us look forward but never behind
For haven't You heard the sad story they're telling,
Don't you know that in womans eyes sorrow is
yelling p
And dear little children forgetting to sing:
Don't you know that our brothers are losing their
freedom p
Each homes highest glory-its sons pure ana
strongl
But their proud souls have bowed to the murierous
tyrant-
Our brothers are subjects of evil and wrong
| Don't you know that some of our fathers are turn
Away from our kisses, and welcomings glad
Don't you know they are spelling the JOY of play
hours?
And rendering childhood unspeakably sad?
Don't you know that mothers grow fearful, and
solemn
That their tender hearts yearn for the old trustful
The love whose Withdrawing ksowns no compensa.
tion
Because they had held 1t all blessings above?
Don't you know that this kingdom of misery wild
That the king in his haughtiness standeth alone,
And challengeth all the true hearts in creation ??
Forward, child-Warriors and pull down his
throne.
We small, but courageous, the dear Lord hath
blessed US
And gwen a leader unerring and strong;-
\ beautiful maiden whom mortals call Temperance,
But angels must know as the Fighter of wrong.
She walkeh the earth-and our mothers no longer
Shall mourn loves desertion-its mad hooking
pain;
Once more shsll our fathers grow tender, and
thoughtful;
And our brothers shall find their lost manhood
again.
And so we march onward, hopes light in our faces,
That are steadfastIy set towards the good that
shall be.
We quail at no danger, We pause for no weakness
The tyrant shall die, and the world shall be free.

Mr.. r. C. Morse of New York gave a very
clear.account of the origin and progress of the
Young Mems Christian Association, at the
First Baptist church in this city, on Sunday
afternoon last. Many persons were enlght-
ened as to the wonderful power of this in
strumentality for good among the young men
in the large cities, who before knew but little
of the real character of the organization. Mr..
Morse will address tile people in other sec
tions of the State. His familiar talks cannot
fail to do good.

Our attention has been called to New
York circular, received by young man ii
this city, similar to numerous others that have
| come under our observation, the contents o.
which we have taken occasion from time tc
time to notice. 1t is one of those scandalous
affairs calculated to deceive the unwary, of.
fering to sell counterfeit treasury notes, called
Queer" which ''are as good rs the real,'
ana lean be passed quite as readily" OF
course no one can get this bogus money with
out sending certain amount of real money
to the advertisers, who promise that ready
response shall come through the express. 1t
is needless to say that all who are simple
enough to respond to these circulars with
which the country is flooded, become parties
to counterfeitng transaction and lay them
seues liable to be visited by the rigors of the
law. Expressmen and postmasters through
out the country, have the undoubted right to
refuse to send or deliver all packages or let
tiers that relate to such criminal transactions.

1MMEDIATELY.-If every family knew the
value of Miss Sawyers Salve, they would i'm
mediately purchase box and never be with
out it. If your Druggist is out of this Salye
and neglects to keep supplied, send seventy
five cents as directed ip another column, and
say you saw the advertisement in this paper.
Not among the least of the invaluable prop
critics of Miss SAVERS SALvE are its bene-
fetal effects on the hair. Rubbed on the
scalp in five or six different parts it promotes
the growth of the hair, prevents its turning
gray, and on bald spots, it produces a new
growth of hair. No lady should be without
this invaluable article as an indispensable
cosmetic for the toilet. 1t eradicates dandruff
and disease from the head, and blotches and
and pimples from the face. tiff

Respectfully dedicated TO the reform Clubs

Come, rally, rally all who love,
Their country, and their neghbOr,
To stand with us in phalanx strong,
Andjoin our christian labor;
Aye rally, rally round our flag,
With this our temperance legion,
And we Will coon the demon drive,
From out this eastern region.
Come one and all, and sign the pledge,
TO drink no rum or cider;
And be no more like slly flies,
To feed that bloated spider,
Who long hath sucked from out the veins
Oflaborer and mechanic,
Their manly honor, pride, and strength,
With greediness satanic.
We're bound to drive "King Alcohol"
Beyond our pine tree border
And bring the serf5 his heel hath crushed
TO dwell in love and order.
We're bound the motto on our seal,
Shall have new force and meaning.
And Maine her sister States shall lead"
In all toward virtue leaning.
Come, rally, rally, all who've sighed
Der fallen son or brother,
Come. rally, rally, all whose hearts
Can feel for one another.
Aye! Rally and no quarter give
It'll at our feet the foeman,
Lies stark and stiff without the power
To wiring the heart of woman.

A Stable Insttution.-Just at the period
when all stable-men were complaining that
the horse ointments of the day were unstable
remedies, the Mustang Liniment made its en-
tree in Missouri, without any flourish of trum-
pets, and within one year became the favorite
embrocation for the external distempers and
injuries of horses and cattle in all the West
ern and Southern States. From that time to
this, it has never had a rival in the estimation
of accomplished horsemen; nor is its house
hold reputation as cure for rheumatism,
neuralgia, sore nipples and caked breasts, tu-
mors, mumps, sore throat, earache, tooth
ache bruises, burns, wounds and sprains,
whit behind its celebrity as a horse Liniment.
The mothers of America know its value, ard
apply it promptly to the external injuries of
the ''rising generation" and in fact there is
not city or township in the United States
where the Mustang Liniment is not regarded
by both sexes and every class, as a blessing
to the community. apl9-+&weod
