TEMPERANCE.
A PROPHECY.


Adapted from "Ne and Betty"
You've all heard the story-ths great grizzly
bear
Who gave the poor settlers such terrible
In pioneers cabin out West so they say.
When in he came trotting one fine summers.
day.
Perhaps you recall the mans scream to his
frau,
"There's q bar in the kitchen as big as 9
And how she advised him to Murder him,
theni"
And how his reply was:
:. Yes, Betty, will if you'll first venture in"
So Betty leaped up and poker she seized.
While her man shut the door and outside IL
he squeezed.
And then, you remember she laid on the
blows
Now on the bears forehead and now on his
nose;
While her man through the key-hole kept
shouting with din:
" Well done, my brave Bettyl Now hit him
Now rap on the ribs, now knock on the
Now poke with the poker and poke his eyes
outi"
So. with rapping and poking, poor Betty alone
At last laid Sir Bruin as dead us q stone.
Now when this brave man saw the bear was
no more,
Then off to the neighbors he fastened, to tell
All the wonderful things that that morning
befell.
And he published the wonderful story afar
How . NE and my Betty-se jist slaughtered
the bar"
The old grizzly fend Whisky has forced his
way in
To our lovel;est homes and sits with grin
Devouring our substance, our children, our
all
Turning our joy and our gladness to gall;
And when we appeal to our men to protect
us
To save us from anguish, from death and
from sin
They valiantly answer:
Yes, darlings we will, If you'll first venture
in"
And as we lay on the Old grizzly our blows
Now on his forehead and now on his nose
Our men, through the key-hole, keep shoue-
ing "Amenl"
"Wen done our brave ladies, now hit him
again2''
And when we have fought out the battle
alone,
And the Whisky-fiend lies as dead as stone,
And the popular tide proves anew and afreSb
That nothing will ever succeed like success
Perhaps our gallants, forgetful, Will say: o
"'Twas tue and our ladles-l0e won in the
fray"
And thus the new version be sounded afar
OF how Me and my Betty-lUe jist slaugh
tered the bar"

What the People Want Most.

The sledge-hammer blows that can
be brought to bear on the citadel of the
rum power by ministers of the Church
of Christ are almost irresistible, and
will do more to awaken and system
atize the active consciences of the peo-
pie on this momentous question than
all other forces combined.
And this is what the people want
most-an active, conscientious, inteili-
gent and enthusiastic interest. The out
come will be combination
of our efforts exerted in one
grand consolidated phalanx brought
to bear on the strongholds Of
our enemy, and victory will be ours,
and then we shall see what we have so
longed hoped and prayed for-the
rum power will vanish, the saloon
will be thing of the past, our country
disenthralIed from this incubus on her
progress and civilization, Phenix-like
will rise to her true dignity as pros
porous, happy Christian people.-Dens-

An Appropriate Name.

IF it is necessary for the Temper
anee people to start party to put
down the liquor traffic, why is it not
also necessary for the saloon-keepers
to start a party of their own?" is a
question often asked and easily an
swered. In the first place, they con-
trol to large extent both the great
parties; and secondly, they would be
afraid to start distinct party of their
own. Think of what that party would
have to come before the people and
advocate! What name would they cali

1t not unfrequently happens that
when in the immediate neighborhood
of the tree, the hunter may not be able
to distinguish the particular one he is
searching for from the rest, as the en-
trance to the bee-castle is commonly
many feet above the ground. He is
not then at the end of his resources.
A small fire is kindled, and upon a
piece of stone or other suitable
material made hot, some honeycomb
is placed; the smell will at once induce
the whole colony of bees to come down
from their citadel, when the hunters
proceed with their axes to bring down
the tree. A vigorous writer thus de-
scribes the proceedings, when the
party of hunters had traced the honey
laden bees to their hive in the hollow
trunk of blasted oak, into which,
after buzzing about for time, they en-
tered at hole about sixty feet from
the ground: Two of the bee-hunters
now piled their axes vigorously at the
foot of the tree, to level it with the
ground. The mere spectators and
amateurs in the meantime drew off to
a cautious distance, to be out of the way
of the falling of the tree and the VEN
geance of its inmates. The jarring
blows of the axe seemed to have no eff
feet in alarming or agitating this most
industrious community; they continued
to ply attheir usual occupations; some
arriving full-freighted into port, others
