The Crops in the Northwest.

Harvest began all along the Northern

grains that some fear has been expressed

Temperance.
rs 1T NOTHING i?

Tt is nothing to me. the Beauty said.
With careless toss of her pretty head;
The man is weak, if he can't refrain
From the cup you say is fraught with pain.
When her eyes were drenched with burning
And she watched in lonely grief and dread,
And startled to hear a staggering tread.
1t is nothing TO me- the Mother said;
| have no fear that my boy will tread
The downward path of sin and shame
And crush my heart and darken his name.
1t was something to her when that only son
From the path of right was early won,
And madly cast i'll the flowing bowl
A ruined body and sin-wrecked soul.
IT is nothing to me the Merchant said
AS over his ledger he bent his head;
I'm busy to-day with tare and tret,
And have no time to fume and fret
1t was something to him when over the wire
4 message came from a funeral pyre-
4 drunken conductor had wrecked a train,
And his wife and child were among the slain
1t is nothing to me, the young man cried;
In his eye was flash of scOrn and pride
heed not the dreadful things ye tell,
l can rule myself, know full WELL
Twas something to him when in prison he lay,
The victim of drink, life ebbng away,
As he thought of his wretchcd child and wife.
And the mournful wreck of his wasted life
1t is nothing to me the voter said;
The party's loss is my greatest dread
Then gave his vote Tor tnc liquor trade,
Though hearts were crushed and drunkards
made.
1t was something to him in after life,
When his daughter became a drunkard's wife
And her hungry children cried for bread.
And trcmbled to hear their fathers tread.
Is it nothing for us to idly sleep
While the cohorts of death their viQils keep
TO gather the young and thoughtless in
And grind in our midst grist of sin?

And clasp by faith our Savior's hand
To learn to labor. live and fight
