For God, fer home and native land.
We raise toward heaven our strong RICH
And proudly wave our banner white,
All stainless as the morning light.
Chorus:
See where II floats our signal light
Our cloud by day, our fire by night,
Our shcltering wing, our guiding hand
For God, for home and native land.
Through customs vile and banded hate,
And lust that maketh desolate
Fearless we press our onward way,
And hopeful hail the coming day
What though the world may call defeat
Our music never beats retreat
And when we fall we face the foe,
And leap TO victory even so.
For right is might, and right at lasc
shall sound on high her trumpet blast:
And DER the conquered field shall tread
When every human wrong is dead.
Then proudly wave the streamer white.
The emblem pure Of Gods own light,
While pledged beneat th its folds we stand
For God, for home and native land

A GRANGE ron TnE woRKIYGMAN.

Frank j. Sibley, stirring speaker on
the workingmans relation 20 temperance,
makes most effective points ON this subject,
sharpening each with statistics and logic.
He shows that of eleven hundred millions Of
dollars, an estimate which he ably upholls,
actually spent for intoxicating drink every
year in this country, the labOring men alone
contribute three-fourths, or about SS25, 600 =
900; sum greater by n hundred million dol
lars than the entire capital stock of all the
banks in the country; "a sum that If saved
for year and one-fourth would equal the
total value of all the rlir"S IN the United
States: that il saved for five years, would
equal In value the accumulated capital of all
the mills and factories in the country; that
ii saved for six and twothirds years, would
equal the valuation Of all the railroads in the
land, and that if saved for six months would
give the nations laboring men IA capital equal
10 that of all the quarres, steamboat lines,
telegraph and telephone companies in the
United States. In short, if the labOring men
alone should save their drink bill for fifteen
years they might accumulate n capital equal
10 the value OF all the mines and factories,
quarries, teegraphs, telephones, banks and
railroads throughout this rich land.

THE OLD TYPOS ADVICE.

1T don't pay, young fellows. There's
beer down stairs and there's ice water in the
pail In the corner. One costs money and the
tother's free; one makes tramp printers and
the other saves 'em. Stick TO the saloon in the
corner, fellows drink at the sign of the tin
dipper and you'll always have eyes and
nerves TO stick type when you're seventy.
Somehow the boys always enjoyed tho old
mans homely little temperance lectures, and
in the forty years he stood az the case and
preached, II he wasn't quite so eloquent as
Cough, every now and then he coaSed some
typo away from the sign Of the glass-mug TO
the sign OF the tin dipper Aud sometimes
the old man used TO stimulate n little him
self but that was long ago He would be
gone q day or two, and come back quietly
penitent, and very oblivious to the occasional
remarks of q mysterious character which
would drift up and down the alleys But
this didn't often happen, because the boys
liked the old man and felt sorry for him, and
they respected his penitence, and finally only
the new men or the subs ever said word
about these annual disappearances. All the
old man would ever say about them was that
he had ''been up in the country TO bury his
uncle" His uncle died hard, but he did die
at last, and the old man for many years
stood like q conquerer at the time-worn old
case with his enemy under his feet.
