The Price of a Drink.

Five cents glass!
 Does any one think That that is really the price ot a drink2 ~ Five cents glass, hear you say; Why that isn't very much to pay. Oh! no, indeed, 'tis a very snail sum You are passing over
 'TwiXt finger and thumb;
 And, if that were all
 That you gave away,
 It wouldn't be very much to pay. The price of a drink?
 Let him decide Who has lost his courage And lost his pride And lies q groveling heap ot clay Not far removed from a beast today. The price of a drink?
 Let that one tell. who sleeps Tonight in a murdercr's cell, And feels within him The fires ofhell. Honor and virtue love and truth, All the glory aud pride of youth, Hope of manhood and wreath ot fame, High endeavor and noble aim These are the treasures Thrown away
 As the price Of drink
  Five cents glass? How Satan laughs as OCT The bar the young man quaffs The beaded liquor; For the demon knew The terrible work that Drink would do
 And, before the morning, The victim lay
 With his life blood swiftly ebbing away. And that was the price he paid, alas. For the pleasure of taking social glass. The price Of drink? Ii you want to know What some are willing to pay for it, go Through that wretched tenement over there With dingy windows And broken stair
 Where foul Disease, like vampire, crawls With ontstretched wings Der the mouldy walls. There Poverty dwells, with Her hungry brood; Wild eyed Ia demous, for lack of food There starve in a corner, crouching low. There innocent ones are thus accursed To pay the price Of another's thirst. Five cents glass? If that were all The sacrifice would indeed be small But the moneys worth Is the least amount
 We pay and whoever will Keep account,
 Will find the terrible Waste and blight That follows the vicious appetite. Five cents glass?
 Does any one think That that is really
 The price of a drink?
