The Watchdog howls t, greet the moon whcnc'er
he gets peep;
l hear him as vainly Try to snatch wink of
sleep
some rcyclor without key is hanmcring at the
door,
really think shat alumber now will visit me no
more;
And pushes prowl upon the tiles, they catcrwaul
and fight;
Oh, terrible indeed we find the noises Of the
night.
Some roysterers arc on the spree, and sing hor-
rid song;
A newsboy screeches latest news that's certain to
he wrong;
A cart goes numbering by the door,ts full Of iron
rods,
I'm certain, by the noise It makes; but, hang it,
what's the odds +?
For it is quite impossible, although the windows
tight,
SO utterly dstractng are the noises of the night.
They're beating carpets, declare, at night a
ghastly freak;
And now that loose old chimney pot of course
begins to creak
A hack stops nj my nCighbor's house, and loud
they bang the door,
Which wakes me when I'd just begun my most
harmonious snore;
It's hard upon nervous man to wake up in a
fright,
But what can expect with all the noises Of the
night?
And ere the morning light has dawned, the lively
chicks and hens
Emerge "as fresh ms paint" l know, from ont
their pens;
And then the loud Internal crow from thtt old
chantclcer
Comes, banishing all further sleep, upon my tor
tured ear
coald not slumber until late, Pm reused at
earliest light
OH who would rid the fcyered brain Of noises or
the night?

TEMPERANCE.


The growth of temperance and prohibition
under all the circumstances is wonderful.
Two hundred years ago the first colony OF
Friends was organized in West Jersey under
Deputy Governor Jennings. This colony
prohibited the sale of liquor to the indians.
A few years after this time the Friends
abolished the use of liquors at funerals.
About this time the conference Of Metl-
odist Episcopal Church adopted the rule Of
John Wesley, which was prahihitoiy both
as to manufacturing and drinking liquor.
From this time onward the sentiment Of
total abstinence grew with considerable
rapidty. In 1888 the first national temper
ance convention of America was held in
Philadelphia. In 1916 legal prohibition was
first enacted in Maine, but proved defective.
In 1851 a perfected prollihtory law was
passed by the Legislature of Maine. II
1854 Myron II. Clark was elected Governor
of New York on the prohbitory platform.
In 1869 the Ohio temperance party was
formed. Now temperance workers are
organized for political action in almostevcly
State and Territory of the Union. Hereto
fore temperance people Lave worked for
local option and other partial measures; now
temperance voters everywhere demand con
sttutional prohibition. This is the only
wise, logical and democratic way of treating
the matter. It affoids the people an oppor-
tunty Of speaking on the question, and if a
majority favor it the constitutional law fixes
the question beyond the probability Of
repeal. Temperance men have given up all
thoughts of compromise. License high or
low is only San agreement with hell" 1t is
selling the Saviour for thirty pieces ofsilver
and allowing the devil to destroy men in
consideration that he will pay a high
license tax for the privilege. No compro-
mise with sin and crime is our watchword

Young man, as You lift the g leaning wine
glass to your lips in the jollity of nights
spree, will it pay? 1t is gross insult to
call u man a fool. Every man would resent
il; but in the suffering Of the next morning,
with disturbed countenance, aching head,
throbbing temples, racking brain, hot, feverea
tongue, aud all the horrible reactions that
might come, does not the victim of ashes
clasp his burning hands and bitterly call
himself Stool! fool" 1t does not pay to
begin First you tolerate it, then you touch
and taste it, then You jest and laugh at it,
and then revel in it. When it becomes your
master, then what? What numbers have
been swept down by the hurricane of tempt
alton! In the mad power of this passion
they have burst the bonds of mothers
love, trampled a fathers counsels in the
dust, and Knocked at reproof and tears.

The Psalm Of Leap Year.
E. I. B.

Tell me not in mournful numbers
Leap years but an empty dream,
For the girls crank that slumbers
When it's not task to scheme.
Leap years real, leap years earnest,
Eighty five is not it's goal,
For the consequences of it
Leave impressions on the soul.
Not delusions and not sorrow,
Ia our chosen end or way,
But to act, that each to o-morrow
Makes more mashes than to-day.
Leap years short and boys are aeeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave
Still like big bass drums are beating,
When their company we crave.
Trust no future, how e'er pleasant,
Let our hopes not all be dead;
Act, act in the living present,
Cheek it out and go ahead.
Lives of old maids all remind us,
We must choose at once "swell,"
And departing leave behind us
Such examples as shall tell.
Such examples, that another
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn, unmarried sister,
Seeing, shall take heart and court
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With our hearts on triumph set,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
And each one husband get.

Two theories have bcen put forward 70

II il true viscosity, and the other that It
is produced by the elect OF pressure in

that whenever the leo is subjected to great

short time the wire passes sompletsly
