OUR POETS CORNER.
THE TWO BALLOTS.

Along in November, when chill is the weather,
Two ballots were cast in box together.
They nestled up close like brothers to brother;
You could not tell one of the votes from the other.
They were both rum votes,
And sanctioned the license plan;
But one was cast by jolly old brewer
And one by Sunday school man.
The Sunday school man, no man could be truer,
Kept busy all summer denouncing the brewer;
But his fever cooled off with the change of the
weather,
And late in the autumn they voted together
The Sunday school man had always been noted
For fighting saloons-except when he voted.
He piled up his prayers with holy perfection,
Then knocked them all down on the day OF elec'
ton.
The foxy old brewer was cheerful and mellow.
Said he, II admire that Sunday school fellow.
He's true to his church--to his party he's trusr;
He talks for the Lord, but he votes tor the brew
err"
Written for the By-Stander.

OUR MAHY MILLIONS.

We have millions OF Museums,
God has blessed ellis children" all,
We will keep the Fine Arts Palace,
Give the cramps" the City Hall.
We have many stately churches,
Where we worship God in style,
Where the vulgar, common people,
Never tread the sacred aisle.
We have ministers and lawyers,
We have papers, we have books,
We have trusts and combinations,
We have many trained French cooks.
We have missions where the heather
Learn to save their surplus girls,
While ours their priceless virtue
Sell to libertines and churls.
And, my friends, you cannot hide il,
Howsoever hard you try,
We have millions, friendless, homeless,
Cast adrift to starve and die.
You may call them sots and Migrants,
Proudly spurn them from your door,
But, my friends, they earned your millions.
Twas your cunning made them poor.

THE SONGS Nv SAMYEWL.

Hiz name fergit jes this minnt,
But they kawl him Jon Judas Isskeriut,
He's fynanshal agent fer Satun,
An when the bags full why he'll harry it.
He preeches sownd mummy on Sundy,
An akkashunly pokes up the fire,
Then sells us like kattel OH Mundy,
An laffs as we tug in the mire.
luther day at hole in the korner
We were sold at hundred an 4,
An Jon says cur foolin' with silver
Will sumo lay US owt on the fore.
Yes, he takes US fer suckers, Jon j. duz,
The kind tibet IL kawt without bate;
LAX THAR, the tin sine on hiz dere SEE,
"Fynansn' dun heer while yew waite"
Now, l motifs our kredit's awl rite, Jon,
The very best on the hole slate,
But by hevens J. Judus Isskeriut.
When yew die yell go wher tina don't skate.
Yes, frens, Pm S. Fonagraf, trewly,
Hoo RACES them hi graded nevis;
Their mishun on erth liz kunkluded,
When th.r heels wont xix gold-bass iewls.

THE sALOONATICs VAIL.

We can stand the preachers preaching,
We can stand the deacon's prayer,
We can stand the "moral suasion" plan,
Because they never "get there"
But when the cranks begin to vote
On the line they used to pray,
We liquor men begin to shake,
For we fear they'll win the day.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

To see strong man helping the weak
And making their cause his own,
Then reaping harvest of greatful love
In the fields where his strength was sown-
IT'S beautiful thing to see
To say word of encouraging cheer
To fainting fellow soul
That lacks but hearty "Friend godspeed !"
To bring it home to its goal
IT'S beautiful thing to say
To pnt ones breast as bulwark strong
In front OF some friendles wight
To shield his heart from an ugly wrong
And conquer for him his wright
IT'S beautiful thing to do
