LEETowN, Feb. 18th, 1878.
Mr.. Zttle-Dear Sir-The following
poetical letter was written to our Lodge
by an esteemed brother, who had been
parted from US for over two years. AT
the time of receiving it we were in
very depressed condition, owing to f.
nancial troubles and other difficulties,
and this letter had great tendency to
stimulate US to renewed exertions. 1t
was not written for publication, but as
many of our brethren desire to possess
copy of it, you will confer all obliga-
ton upon the entire membership of
Leetown Lodge of Good Templars by
publishing it in your valuable paper.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. }. WATSON.

Something worth noting has taken
place in the city of Baltimore. The
proper authorities have dismissed a mag
istrate from Office for ignorance of the
law. This was good thing for the
public; but if the rule is followed up, it
will prove disastrous to the fraternity
elsewhere.

TEMPERANCE SONG.

Touch not the bowl! touch not the bowl!
Twill bring destruction to your soul,
Its contents though it sparkles bright
Will poison worse than serpents bite.
CHORUS.
Then dash the liquor from thy sight,
What ever kind it be,
Resist the Devil with thy might
And be from thee will flee.
The ruby wine! the ruby wine!
Though bright and lovely it may shine,
There turks beneath its snrface red
The ghosts of thousands it has sped.
The whiskey straight /! the whiskey
straight!
Its very name we all should hate,
Though in the crystal bowl it beads
'Iis straight to ruin whiskey leads.
The sweetened dram the sweetened
dram
Though sweet to taste thou art sham;
Thy sweetness will to bitter turn
When then with thirst doth make us
burn.
The julep green the julep green!
o do not to the julep lean!
Though its aroma be so sweet
Twill prove snare unto your feet.
The Lager Beer! the Lager Beer {!
| Though innocent thou doth appear,
Thou art Supplying drink,
Which doth be h mind and body sink.
