SchOOl-BOy Troubles.

The witches get in my books, l know,
Or else it's fairy elves;
For when | study they plague me so
l feel like one of themselves.
Often they whisper, Come and play,
The sun is shining brightr'
And when l fling the book away
They fiutter with delight.
They dance among the stupid words,
And twist the rules awry;
And fly across the page lik birds,
Though l can't see them fly.
They twitch my feet, they blur my eyes
They make me drowsy, too;
In fact. the more fellow tries
To study, the worse they do.
They can't be heard, they can't be seen
l know not how they look,
And yet they always lurk between
The leaves of lessOn-book.
Whatever they are l cannot tell,
But this is plain as day:
I'll never be able to study well,
As long as the book-elves stay.

SIXTY-THBID YEAR.
Announcement extraordinary
"THE SATURDAY EVENING POST"
$500 Year for Single Copy
SIOO a Year i'm Clubs of Ten!
Now is the Time to Raise Clubs for Coming
Year.

We are determined to get very large list OF
new subscribers, and in order to do So we will
receive subscriptions at one Dollar Il
Year, in clubs of ten.
| And, as an inducement to each of our sub
scribers to send club, we will give a gratis
copy for every club of 10 at 81 90 each. Re-
member, we will not send a single copy for less
than 81; and in order to get the reduced rate,
one must send at least ten subscription. We
cannot send less number for less than s. each.
Think OF it, 10 copies of The Post one year,
with one extra for sending the club, making | l
copies for $40.
As to The Post, there are few in this country
or any other country, who are not familiar with
it. Established in 1921, it is the Oldest paper
of its kind in America, and for more than half
Il centuty it has been recognized the leading
literary and family journal in the United States.
For the coming year we have secured the best
writer's of this country and Europe, in prose
and verse, fact and fiction.
A record of over sixty years of continuous
publication proves its worth and popularity. Its
fiction is of the highest order-the best original
stories, sketches ann narratives of the day. 1t
is perfectly free from the degrading and pollut-
ing trash which characteriZeS many other So
called literary and family papers. 1t gives
more for the money, and of better class, than
any other publication in the world. Each
volume contains, in addition to its well-edted
departments, twenty-five frst-class serels, by
the best living authors, and upwards of five
hundred short stories. Every number is re-
plete with useful information. To the people
everywhere it will prove one of the best, most
instructive, reliable and moral papers that has
ever entered their homes.
We trust those who design making up clubs
will be in the field as early as possible. Our
prices to club subscribers by the reduced rate
are so low that if the matter is propely explain
ed, very few who desire a first-class literary
paper will hesitate to subscribe at once, and
thank the getter-up of the club for bringing the
paper to their notice Remember, the getter-
p of a club of III gets a free copy of the paper

The Spiritual Effects of Drunk

en0eSS.
An editorial in Topics of the Time
of the December Century says: This
loss of self-respect, the lowering of
ambition. and the fading out Of hope
are signs of the progress of this disease
in the character. 1t is a mournful spec
tacle-that of the brave, ingenious,
high-spirited man sinking steadily down
into the degradation of inebTiety: but
how many such spectacles are visible all
over the land! And it is not in the
character of those alone who are notori-
Gus drunkards that such tendencies ap-
pear. They are often distinctly seen in
the lives of men who are never drunk.
Sir Henry Thompson testimony is en-
phatic to the effect that the habitual
use of fermented liquors, to an extent
far short of what is necessary to pro-
'duce intOxication, Injuries the body and
'diminishes the mental power If, as he
testities, lare proportion of the most
painful and dangerous maladies of the
body are due to the use of fernented
liquors, taken in the quantity which is
conventionally deemed moderate, then
it is certain that such use of them must
result also in serious injuries to the
mental and moral nature. Who does
not know reputable gentlemen, physi-
clans, artists, clergymen even, who were
never drunk in their lives, and never
will be, but who reveal in conversation
and in conduct, certain melancholy ef-
fects of the drinking habit? The brain
is so often inhamed with alcohol that its
functions are imperfectly performed;
and there is perceptlble loss of mental
power and of moral tone. The drinker
is not conscious of this loss; but those
who know him best are painfully aware
that his perceptions are less keen, his
judgments less sound, his temper less
serene, his spiritual vision less clear, be-
cause he tarries every day little too
long at the wine. Even those who re-
fuse to entertain ascetic theories re-
specting these beverages may be able to
see that there are uses of them that stop
short of drunkenness, and that are still
extremely hurtful to the mind and the
heart as well as the body. That con-
ventiOnal idea of moderation, to which
Sir Henry ThompfOn refers, is quite
elastic; the term is stretched to cover
habits that are steadily despoiling the
life of its rarest fruits. The drinking
habit is often defended by reputable
gentlemen to whom the very thought of
a debauch would be shocking, but to
whom. if it were only lawful, in the
tender and JUS sOiIc1Tudo of friendship,
such words as these might be spoken:
1t is true that you are not drunkards,
and may never be; but if you ceuld
know, what is too evident to those who |
love you best, how your character is
slowly losing the tirmness of its texture |
and the fineness of its outline; how your
art deteriorates in the delicacy of its
touch; how the atmosphere of your life |
seems to grow murky and the sky low
ers gloomily above you,-you would not
think your daily Indulgence harmless in
its measure. 1t is in just such lives as
yours that drink exhibits some of its !
most mournful tragedies

POETRY.
A SCH00L-DAY.

"Now, john" the district teacher says.
With frown that scarce can hide
The dimpling smiles around her mouth
Where Cupid's hosts abide,
"What have you done to Mary Ann,
That she is crying so?
Don say twas 'Dothing-dOn't, / say,
For, John, that can't be SO;
"For Mary Ann would never cry
At nothing, am sure;
And if you've wounded Justice, John,
You know the only cure
Is punishment So, come, stand up;
TransgressiOn must abide
The pain attendant on the scheme
That makes it justified.
So John steps forth, with sun-burnt face
And hair all in a tumble,
His laughing eyes a contrast te
His dropping mouth SO humble.
"Now, Mary, you must tell me all
1 see that John will not,
And If he's been unkind or rude,
III whip him on the spot"
"W-we were p-playin' p-pris'ner's
base,
An'h-he is s-such a tease,
An w-when l w-wasn't lOokih'-
m-ma'am,
H-he k-kissed Dae-if you please!"
Upon the teachers face the smiles
Have triumphed Ger the frOwn,
A pleasant thought runs through her
mind,
The stick comes harmless down.
but outraged law must be avenged!
Begone, ye smiles, begone!
Away, ye little dreams Of love.
Come on, ye frowns, come on!
81 think I'll have TO whip you, John,
Such conduct breaks the rule;
No boy, except naughty one,
Would kiss girl-at school"
Again the teachers rod is raised,
A Nemesis she stands
A premium were put on sin,
If punished by such handsl
AS when the bee explores the rose
We see the petals tremble,
So trembled Mary's rosebud lips
Her heart would not dissemble.
II wouldn't whip him Ue-y hard
The stick stops in its fall
at wasn't right to do it, but
1t didn't hurt at ALL"
"What made you cry, then, Mary Ann ?"
The schools noise makes pause,
And out upon the listening air.
From Mary comes-"Beeause."
