Inat taded not from that fond boort
Where once it loved to STAY
ana left that heart more desolote
For having felt its sway ''"''
1Iere never was glad, bright evo
but IL was dimmed with tears
Cansed BY such griefs as ever duII
wv Inc sunshine of our years.
we look upon the sweetest flowor
-. lis withered soon and gone.
We gaze upon star, to find
But darkness where it shonc.
lhere never was q noble heart
~ a mind of worth and power
mat mad not, in this changing world
-, ram and misery for its dover.
Inc laurel on the brow hath hid

lhe secret of the soul Within
Its blight and agony.
lhere never was-there cannot he
On earth precious spring
whose waters to the fevered lip
Unfailing we may bring.
All changeth on this troubled shore.
Or passeth from the sight
Oh, for that world where ioy and peace
Relgn as eternal light!

BE IN TINE.

BE in time for every call:
III you can, he first of all
BE in time.
If your teachers only find
You are meyer once behind,
But are like the dial, true,
They will always trust to you;
BE in time.
Never linger ele you start,
Set out with willing heart
BE in time.
In the morning up and on,
First to work, and soonest done
This is how the goals attained
This is how the prize is gained
BE in time.
Those who aim at something grea
Never yet were found too late
Be in time.
Life with all is but school
We must work by plaE and rule,
Ever steady, earnest, true,
Whatsoever you may do;
BE in time.
Listen, then, to wisdom s call
knowledge now is free to all
Be in time.
\ outh must daily toll and strive,
Treasures for the future hive;
For the work they have to do
Keep this motto still in view
BE in time.

WE must not be discouraged if we
fail sometimes to act up to our good
resolutions. We cannot conquer the
enemy in one battle, but we must
keep up with the struggle until the
victory is won. Supposing the gem
eral of an army gave up at his first
defeat, turned his back on the enemy,
and fled? We should not think him
very valiant, but we should be likely
to call him faint-hearted and cow
ard. Every day we shall have some
enemy to meet in one form or an
other some temptation to conquer
and every victory we get over our
selves will make us stronger to resist
the next temptatiOn.

SARATOGA, Aug. 19.-Nearly the whole Of TO-
days session of the National Advocates of Tenn
perance was devoted to the consideration of o
long set of resolutions, constituting their plat
form. which were finally adopted unanimously.
The organization ~rejoices in the advancement
Of temperance during the past fifty years. 1t Is
g~ratihed in having secured by law in all States
except three scientific temperance education in
tho schools. 1t urges that effort be made to
prevent the use Of intoxicating liquors on all
social occasions, appeals to leaders of fashion to
discountenance tempting youths by the use Of
wine at parties and dinners, and asks ladies to
use their influence against the growing use of
liquors by some OF their sex. Young men arc
requested not to invite friends to drink. Tho
Church is urged to be fearless in temperance re-
form. 1t is requested that tho third Sunday Of
October be observed as temperance Sunday.
Tho resolutions proceed to denounce tho liquor
traffic as follows:
We are agreed that to license the liquor
traffic, whether high or low. works only evil;
that any sch to !. by which good men and Church
p ssis of i hqs to is De q d RIlsssie@ a ant0 a s .nsre: .aas p tho

bate. Among tho speakers were DR.. Corey OF
Washington, DIR. Kynette of New Jersey, the
Hon.. S. {; Hastings Of Wisconsin. and Drs. Poul.
son and Robbins of New York city.
The organization further urges that q COM
bined effort be made this fall in the United
States to secure temperance Pledges from all
the children Of the land. The advocates rejoice
IN the growing sentiment in the medical pro-
fession that alcoholic stimulants are unneces-
sary. They denounce, as deceiving and dan
gerous tho great, number OF patent medicines
composed OF alcoholic stimulants. and ask tho
medical, fraternity to expose such compounds.
They ask Congress to secure the abolition OF the
liquor internal reyenue system. to prohibit
and to all persons and in all places
under national jurisdiction. They protest against
tho establishment of a rum shop on Ellis Island.
and urge Congress to forbid all traffic in liquors
