THE LIPS THAT TOUGH LIQUOR.

By Ad le Maitre, NJ. D., Main and Fourth.l The Demon Of Rum is abroad in the Land. His victims are falling in every hand The wise and the single, the brave and the
 fair, No station too high for his vengeance to spare, O! woman, the sorrow and pain is with you, And so be the joy, and victory too: With this for your motto and helper divine: "The lips that touch liquor, shall meyer
 touch mine,n The homes that were happy are ruined and
 gone. The hearts that were happy are wretched and
 lone. And lives full of promise and good things to
 come, Are ruined and wrecked by the Demon of
 Rum. Wives, maidens and mothers, to you 1t Is
 given, To raise up the fallen and point them to
 Heaven. With God as your guide you will win by the
 sign, The hps that touch liquor, shall never
 touch mine." ol mothers, whose sons tar1y long at the
 bowl, Who love their good name as you love your
 own soul. Ol maidens with fathers and brothers and
 beaux, Whose lives you would rescue from infinite
 woes; Let the war be your watch word from shore
 unto shore. Till Rum and his legions shall ruin no more, And write on your banners in letters that
 shine "The lips that touch liquor shall never touch
 mine."
 Let maide his pity share,
 Who seeks for rest but finds despair
 Companion of his ways.
