BOYS WANTED.

oOip hANlED,
Have you a boy to spare? Yes, surely
one.
Many have entered here; yet there is
room.
Wages is certain for those we employ:
Thousands our traffic needs. Have Won
a boy?
Your boys we must have to keep up the
supply;
For good raw material on you we rely.
So won't you contribute? Twill be but
your share;
Our dealings are upright and every way
fair.
If boys are not furnished, our trade is
imperiled,
And we must be thrown on a cold,
cherries world.
Revenues will dwindle and factories
close,
And Christendom be filled with innu-
merable woes.
".
Which boy shall it be? You know where
to apply
Our sign is "The Dragon" you see it
hard by;
Our wages is death, and we pay as we
go;
No business on credit, and none do we
owe.
You'll help the saloon; we solicit your
aid.
Our liquors the best, and our hands are
well paid;
We grind up live boys, the wheat with
the tare.
Wanted, boys wanted. Have you one to
spare?
Mrs. ID. o. Kinsman.
NEAL DOW WRITES A LETTER.
At the annual meeting of the New
England branch of the Church Tenn
perance Society, Bishop Nicely of Port
land, Me-, made an address in which
the papers report that he stated that in
Maine there is no town so small that it
could not furnish a drink of poor
whisky to those who apply for it; also,
that there was as much liquor drunk
In Maine as ever. To this statement
Gen. Neal Dow very fttingly replies in
the following letter to the editor of the
New York Advocate:
VI see that Bishop Neeley is out again
as to the liquor traffic of Maine. On q
former occasion he made a strong point
against the Maine law that 1t caused
the liquor to be bad.
I'm reply to that l said that it would
be an impertinence in me to doubt any.
thing that he might say in relation to
the quality of the drink. lam no Judge
of that matter, as l never take it. He
o says that in Maine there is no
town 30 small that it could not furnish
q drink of poor whisky to those who
apply for it. The Bishop says that posi-.
lively, as if personally knowing the
fact; a failure to get a good drink when
he wants it is vexation to those who are
accustomed to it.
THE Bishop some time ago called at
my house to introduce a friend from
the West, who wanted to know about
the results of the law. After present
ing his friend, he went away. | said to
his friend: How long have you been
in town. "A week, he replied Then
you have been here long enough to
have some opinion about the law; what
do you think of it?' L think it is a
failure Where are you stoppingY'
AT the Falmouth Hotel. DO they sell
liquor there?' No 'Haye you tried
to obtain it thereY' Yes, l tried hard
to obtain some, but could not succeed
Have you tried at other places?' Yes,
ct many other places Did you sue
ceed anywhere in obtaining liquor?s
No, | could not find any Then it
seems that you have been here a week
and have in vain tried your best to OBJ
tain a drink; o why do you think it
a failure?' One morning early l was
in the park, and saw there a man lying
on the grass, drunk, with a bottle at his
side 1t is for that reason l consider
the law a failure DO you know
whether that man came from Boston
by the early steamer, bringing his drink
with him, or that he found it in Port
land, where you could find none after
hunting a week for itI' No, l do not
know that, but l think the law a fail
ure.'
