KING ALCOHOL.
by MATTE M'CAsLlN.

Twas a beautiful country, d.. .
Where happiness dwelt,
In the hearts Of its people
No sorrow was felt.
Its orchards ana grain fields
Were fair to behold,
In rich purest treasures
or crimson and gold.
But one cruel morn,
An ambassador came
To tell through this country
A new mcnarrh's name.
And worshiping thousands
United to sing
In joy, love and loyalty,
"Long live the kingl"
"Down," said the ambassador,
Each one must fall
To worship his majesty,
King Alcohol"
Then forth came the monarch,
His helmet aud shield
Emblazoned with gems
That were tear drops concealed.
His mantle of crimson
Was dripping with gore,
From the hearts of his victims
This trophy he bore.
A sword was his scepter,
A serpent his crown;
And his Juggernaut march
Trampled every thing down.
The orchards, the vineyards,
The grainfelds and all,
Beneath the vile footsteps
or King Alcohol.
A hot stream ran from them,
That Kissed like a snake,
Prostrate on the earth,
All the people partake.
Men, women and children,
Uuheeding its sting,
Until they are crushed
Meath the feet OF their king.
He's stalking among us,
This monster of sin,
Come, rally, my boys!
And the victory win.
Don't hack him and cripple him,
But, with will,
Strike! strike for his heart,
With blow that shall kill!

The usual Sunday evening meeting in the
Second Parish vestry was, last evening, devot-
co to the subject of temperance. Rev. Mr..
Dickinson presided, and read from Proverbs
22:29, and Cor, 6:10, speaking of the physi
cal and spiritual effects of intemperance. Mr.
Dow was then introduced, and spoke of the
importance of the church making temperance
distinctive work, and its members being zeal.
GUS in the cause. Mr.. Edward Gould referred
to the work that the churches had done. Mr.
j. W. Stevenson appealed especially to the
young to abstain. Mr., Frank spoke of the
power of Christ Mr.. Winslow enlarged upon
the evils of licenses. Mr.. W. W. Thomas
thought the church should be aggressive in this
cause. Many signed the pledge at the close
A large audience was present.
A very interesting meeting was held by the

The Annual Spring Cruise.

At o'clock Saturday afternoon, the follow
ing yachts belonging to the Portland Yacht
Club, left Custom House wharf on their annu-
al spring cruise: Oracle, Commodore William
Senter; Tempus, Vice Commodore Goold;
Sparkle, Captain Martin; Bonita, Captain
Clark; Idler, Capt Owen; and Twilight, Cap
tain Charlton. The Argo, formerly OF the
club, accompanied the feet. Each OF the
aforementioned yachts carries about ten men,
chiefly members of the club, though several
invited guests are in the company.
AT the signal the fleet got underway and
passed down the harbor in close order. A
fresh breeze from the south was blowing. Ihe
fleet proceeded to Harpswell that night, when
the further programme was arranged. AT
o'clock yesterday morning the captains were TO
report on board the Oracle. The cruise will
end next Tuesday night. If the fleet reaches
the harbor before dark each yacht will heave
to off Fort Gorges till all have arrived, and
then proceed together up the harbor in close
sailing order.
At Harpswell, it was expected the fleet
would be joined by the Yarmouth and Free
port yachts, which belong to the Portland
Club, and that to-day they would sail to
Boothbay or Wiscasset. The Violet, which is
at Boothbay, will join them during the cruise.

society of Christian Endeavor

A little over one year ago society was or
ganized in this city called the "Society of
Christian Endeavor," its object, "to promote
an earnest Christian life among its members,
to increase their mutual acquaintance and to
make them more useful in the service of God"
The first announcement of its object called
forth enquiries from all over our country, be-
lieving that it was work much needed among
the young. Four societies are organized in this
city and several in the state. The subject for
the paper at the minister's meeting in Boston
this Monday morning, is ''The Society of
Christian Endeavor, what it is and what it
does" So much interest is manifested upon
the subject that conference of the societies
in this state is to be held this week, Friday,
June I'd, afternoon and evening, at Willston
church, to promote the efficiency OF the work.
All interested are cordially invited to be pres

Mr. Luther Bradford was thrown from his
wagon last week in Deering and received
slight injuries. His horse became frightened
by passing train and ran up Ocean street.
The wagon was quite badly broken.
On Friday afternoon little Mcclellan boy,
aged about six, was run over in Deering by a
heavy but unloaded OK cart. The rear wheel
of the vehicle passed across the child's body,
but strange to relate, upon examination the
little fellow was found to be comparatively un-
injured.
While Messrs. Joseph Sawyer and Elmer
Brown were riding on the promenade yester-
day the horse took fright at the circus tents
and ran. When crossing Grove street the near
forward wheel pulled out from the hub and
threw out Mr. Sawyer. The horse ran on and
turned up Mellen street from Cumberland
where he fell. Mr.. Brown was well shaken up
but no bones were broken, and Mr.. Sawyer es-
capped with bruises.
John Long of Portland, cook on towboat
Henrietta in the employ of the Dredging
Company, while ascending a ladder on the
breakwater at Lubec Monday evening, fell fif-
teen feet and struck on the deck of the steam
er Spray, breaking his arm. He left for home.
