~
Had never been sofled by 1.-The bever-
age of hell;"
But they come to me now with the
bacchanal sign,
And the lips that touch liquor must
touch mine.
I think of that night in the garden
alone,
When in whispers you told me your
heart was my own,
That your love in the future should
faithfully be
Unshared by another, kept only for
me.
Oh, sweet to my soul is the memory
still,
OF the lips which met mine, when they
murmured II will;"
But now their pressure no more they
incline,
For the lips that touch liquor must
never touch mine.
O Johnl how it crushed me, when first
Ala EOOE AhCG
The pen Of the Ram Fiend" had writ
ten disgrace"
And turned me in silence and tears
from that breath
All poisoned and foul from the chalice
of death.
Il scattered the hopes I had treasured
to last;
Il darkeHed the future and clouded
the past:
1t shattered my idol, and ruined the
shrine,
For the lips that touch liquor mist
never touch mine.
I loved you-oh, dearer than language
can tell,
And you saw it, you proved it, you
knew it too we'll;
But the man of my love was far other
than he
Who now from the tap room" comes
reoling to ne:
In manhood and honor so noble and
right
His heart was so true, and his genius
so bright
And his soul was unstained, UnpoIlut-
ed by wine;
But the lips that touch liquor must
neve touch mine.
You promised reform, but I trusted in
vain;
Your pledge was but made to be broken
again,
And the lover so false to his promises
now,
Will not, as a husband, be true to his
VOW,
The word must be spoken that bids
you depart
Though the effort to speak it should
shatter my heart
Though in silence, with blighted affec-
ton I pine,
Yet the lips that touch liquor must
lever touch minel
If one spark in your bosom, of virtue
remain,
Go fan it with prayer till it kindle
again:
Resolved, with "God helping" in fu-
ture to be,
From wine and its follies unshackled
and free!
And when you have conquered this foe
Of you soul
In manhood and honor Beyond his
control
This heart will again beat responsive
to thine,
And the lips free from liquor be vel
come to mine.

Pansy, l agree with you as to pride.
l think it is a Christian duty to have
pride and try to improve every day in
every way. No, PAnsy, it costs us no
more to have our dresses made ever
new patterns than over an old one that
appears to have been here before the
food. Of course we should not go to
extremes nor adopg every foolish fash
ion even if we had the means to do so.

l don't Q why we should think al

member country girls a be accom-
plished, keep up with the fashions and
appear al we'll or better than their city

pride and try to improve in every way
we can. You know all girls are fond
