MY SENTINEL.
BY GEORGIA MILLARDE AMBnIDGE.

The last rich rays Of sunset fade
Before my longing gaze,
And one bright glorious star appears
From out the twilight's haze.
And as watch it's liquid light
With eyes bedimmed and sad,
It ems to smile in sympathy,
It cheers me, makes me glad.
A quiet, peaceful comfort comes
From that ar sentinel,
Who, kinder than humanity,
Ia brave to wish me well.
A web OF darkly drifting clouds
Now fills the evening sky,
But we'll know that back OF them
NY star still smiles on high.

TEMPERANCE.
DRUNK IN THE STREET.

DRUNK IN THE STREET,
Drunk, your Worship" the officer said;
"Drunk in the street. SIR" She raised her
head
A lingering trace of the golden grace
Still softened the lines of her woe-worp
face,
Unkempt and tangled her rich brown hair,
Yet with all the burrows and stains Of care
The years Of anguish and sin and despair
The child Of the city was passing fair.
The ripe red mouth, with lips compressed.
The rise and fall Of the heaving breast
The nervous fingers, so taper and small,
Crumpled the fringe of the tattered shawl,
As she stood in her place at the officers CALL
She seemed good and fair, she seemed tender
and sweet,
This fallen woman found drunk in the street.
Does the hand that once srnoothed the ripple
and wave
Of that tangled lair lie still in the grave?
Is that mother who pressed those red lips to
Deaf to the pain Of their smothered moan?
Has the voice that chimed to the isping
prayer
No accent of hope for the lost one there,
Bearing her burden of sin and despair %
Drunk in the street-in the gutter found
From a passionate longing to crush and
drown
The soul Of the woman she might have
To fling off the weight of fearful dream,
And awake again in the homestead hard by,
And wooded mountain that touched the
sky;
To lnger while on the path to school
And catch in the depth Of the impid pool
Under the willow shade, green and cool,
A dimpled face and laughing eye,
And the pleasant word of passer by.
Yemen with sisters and mothers and wives,
Have ye no care for these women's lives?
Must they starve for the comfort they never
speak?
Must they ever be erring and sinful and
weak
Staggering onward with weary feet,
Stained in the cutters and drunk in the
street?

six of the leading business firms and manu-

viewed by US, only one allowed the uss Of

that the business interests Of the employer

CRY THAT SHOULD NERVE TO ACTION.

The cry of distress that is going up from
every block almost in our cities and from al
most every township in the country, Of fami-
lies made wretched by the terrible drink evil,
should nerve to action; and so should the de-
spairing cry of hundreds eff drunkards in our
midst, who are to-day utterly helpless. act
ually helpless flor as one of our most eminent
physicians has said, alcohol is solvent OF the
willy, helpless in the presence OF open saloons
ever increasing in attractiveness and In num-
ber-a cry like that of Milton's fallen spirit:
"And in the lowest deep, lower STILL -,
That threatens to devour me- opens wide"

public to make it easy to do right and hard
