The Drink OF Death.

You tell me "shun the tempting cup"
You say It's born Of Hell,
That in each little poisoned drop
Are horrors none can tell
You speak Of mothers and Of wives
OF fair haired children too,
OF wrctched homes and ruined lives,
Of broils this cup will brew.
You say 1t leads the soul to death
TO realms by demons trOd;
II bears charmed but poisoned breath,
You call 1t "cursc Of God"
You tell the horrors of the "celm
The fclon's home, the murdcrer's f t.,
And of the dens where outca,ts dwell,
Where help and rescue comes 10 late.
You tell me this All, tis not half
The horrors of the cup;
For as the hellsb drink quatf
A pnng lives in each drop,
Remorsc, disgust, and bitter shame
Fills up my wretchcd life,
Ruined in health, In purse, In name,
My days filled up with strife;
Curse, Cur@ the cup! the drink of Death,
This drink Of blackest shades
IT. pangs are like flaming wreath
To light our souls to Hades.

of state troops in readiness to march
at moments notice. The cause of
this warlide message has not yet been
made public. 1t is supposed to have
reference to disturbances on the Mex
lean frontier. Congress has not de
clared war against Mexico, and if there
is probability of such an event it is
strange that Michigan should be the
only state called upon to furnish
troops. Probably the Secretary of
War has another object in view, and
eontemplates raid into Canada to
capture host of witnesses who have
fed to the Dominion to evade the
Sergeant at Arms of the House of Rep
resentatives. We await with anxiety
the explanation of this warlike mes
sage from Army Headquarters.

George M. Robson entered Grants
Cabinet q poor man, having invested
almost his entire worldly wealth IN
purchasing the present which pro-
cured his appointment as Secretary
of the Navy. Since then he has spent
at least three times his salary and is
now known to be be a millionaire.
Witnesses before an investigating
committee say this financial feat was
accomplished by sharing in fat navy
contracts and swindling the Govern
ment. but the GRANTEES look upon it
as a matter of course and say nothing
about it.
