BELSHAZZAR.

The midnight hour was drawing on;
flushed into rest lay Babylon.
All save the royal palace, where
Was the din of revel and torches flare.
There high within his royal hall
BeshaZzar, the king held festival.
His mobiles around him in spendor shine
And drain down gOblets of sparkling wine.
The mobiles shout and the goblet. ring:
Twas sweet to the heart of that stif-necked king.
The cheeks of the king they flushed with fire,
And still as he drank his conceit grew higher;
And, maddened with pride, his lips let fall
Wild words that baspheme the great Lord OF All.
More Wanting he grew and his blasphemous sneers
Were hailed by his lordly rout with cheers.
Proudly the king has mandate passed;
Away HE the slaves, and come back full fast.
Many gold vessels they bring with them,
The spoils of Gods House i'll Jerusalem,
With impIous hand the king caught up,
Filled to the brinl, sacred cup;
And down to the bottom he drained it dry.
And aloud with his mouth afOam did cry
Jehovah! scoff at thy greatness gone:
/ am the king OF Babylon
The terrible words were ringing still,
When the king at his heart felt secret chill.
The laughter ceased, the lords held their breath,
And all through the hall il was still as DEATH
And see, see there! on the white wall, see,
Come forth what seems mans hand to be!
And 1t wrote and wrote in letters of flame
On the white wal-thea vanished the way 1t came.
The king sat staring, he could not speak,
His knees knocked together ueathpale was his cheek
With cold fear creeping his lords sat round,
They sat dumbstricken, with never q sound.
The Magians came, but not one of them all
Could interpret the writing upon the wall.
That self-eame night-his soul God sain!-
Was Belshazzar, the king, by his mobiles slain.

He sat down and spoke of what had hap

nerves were racked. He felt that death
would be great relief to him. We SYM

What Whiskey Does.

1t is folly, worse than folly for any one
to argue in favor of whiskey drinking.
There would be as much sense in arguing
in favor of suicides. How many men both
young and old do we see daily that have
had as bright future before them as one
could ask for that have been ruined by
drink. Some of the best busisess men in
our county are nothing but wrecks, and are
not capable of doing any kind of business.
Some of the best mechanics on the face of
the earth, who gre such miserable work
men that no one will employ them, caused
by strong drink. Thousands of the best
men of our country are begging for some
thing to eat and wear caused by intemper-
ance. Our prisons are overlooking with
criminals, caused by the intoxicating cup.
In fact theasylums and poor houses are
filled from this cause. How many happy
home has been changed into one of grief
How many bell has been tolled for an
aged father or mother caused by the in
temperance of their son. Thousands of
women and children are half clad and half
sheltered, with little or no food all caused
by the incorporate father. We should all
think over this matter and the more we re-
fleet upon it the more We will .denounce it.
We do not have to leave our own commu-
nifty to see the effects Of whiskey. Is it
any wonder that mothers and sisters de-
nounce the vile cup so bitter Ifit were
possible thousands of souls in our own lit,
tie county would raise from their graves in
their shrods with their hands projected
toward high heaven and cry aloud in the
bitterest terms against intoxicating drink
We are glad to state however that there is
not one-fourth the liquor drank in Som er-
set and surroundings that there was a year
ago, and it is steadily on the decrease.
