They are sitting around upon barrels ant
chairs.
Discussing their own and their neghbors' az
fairs,
And the look OF content that is seen on each
face
Seems to say have found my appropriate
place.
Sitting around.
In bar-rooms and groceries, calmly they sit,
And serenely chew borrowed tobacco, and spit.
While the stories they tell and the jokes that
they crack
Show their hearts have grown hard and un-
doubtedly black
While sitting around.
The " sitter around" is man Of no means,
And his face wouldn't pass for quart OF white
beans,
Yet he somehow or other contrives to exist,
And is frequently seen with drink in his fist
While sitting around.
The loungers they toll not nor yet do they spin,
Unless it be yarns while enjoying their gin;
They are people OF leisure, yet often, tbs true,
They allude to the work they're intending to
do
While sitting around.
They've habit OF talking Of other mems wives,
AS they whittle up sticks with their horn
handled knives:
They're . ecaly old set, and wherever you go
You will find them IN groups, or strung out in
arrow
Sitting around.

Francis Murphy shows himself possessed OF
a good deal of hard sense. At the Lake Bluff
camp-meeting, last week, he advanced the prop
osition that every man shauld abstain from
intoxicating liquors and encourage others to
abstain, but that, if he must drink, il is better
to drink beer than whisky, as the least OF two
evils. To enforce this point he contrasted the
drinking OF whisky by the Irish and Americans
with the drinking of beer by the Germans, and
characterized the latter as not half so bad ss
the former. He said: "The German can go
to the beer-garden and come home perfectly
sober after drinking all day. lie is really the
most sensible drinker in America" He also
spoke thus handsomely of the saloonist; "The
lquor sellers are men as we'll as any OF my
hearers, and they have virtuous wives and
daughters the same as other men. There are
honorable men among them / would trust TO
take my daughter to England If necessary. The
saloon-keepers are men, and they must bs
treated like them, and not be ridiculed or re-
viled."
