THE DEMON OF DRINK.

O this Demon OF Drink! Is there no hand to stay
This curse OF our land in his terrible sway.
Shall the high and the low, the strong and the
brave,
De followed relentlcssly down to the grave!
There is scarcely home in our beautiful land
That has not felt the touch of his murderons hand
Search the records OF crime, OF the rich and the
poor,
And the deepest and darkest traced to his door.
The genial. the gifted, the fafrest and best.
All bend 10 the power of this wretch they detest;
They hate, yet embrace, and rush over the brink,
The victims and slayes Of this Demon Of Drink
He enters the cottage, where plenty abounds,
here the prattle of innocent children resonnds;
He touches the father,-he yields TO the spell,
And this heaven of peace il transformed to he'll.
o our Father above shall it always be SOL
Shall this Demon be with us wherever we 90!
Shall this stain on our manhood, this blot on our
name,
Be the cause that shall rob us Of glory and fame!
No! 1t ehall not be so! To Thee we will kncel,-
To Thee, in our helplessness humby az cal
ForT Thy strength to aid Us in bondage to bind
For ever and ever this curse to mankind
