A Wall.

By yon little stream we call
Leatherbark.
We hear women singing quite
often at dark,
The burden of song as repeated
each day,
Well have better times when sa-
looms are away:
By that sloping hillside a bright
afternoon.
A woman wss weeping beyond the
saloon:
Her husband who was once both
manly and kind,
Was beating his wife as he walked
ON behind.
Just over the river in that little cot.
We don't know who lives there
I'm sure | do not,
But as they are crying it all seems
to say.
"We'll never have peace till saloons
are away"
I know a dear woman with babe
at her breast,
Who is asking our Father, for Oh!
He knows best,
Why is it, my Savior, by a drunk
ard I'm tried,
For Oh! dearest Father, I'd rather
have died.
One morning in spring as the river
rolled high
| was watching the logs as they
went floating by.
What was it [ saw? O.! a raft fly
ing past
With men drinking liquor who
yelled as they passed.
Nv heart sank within me for sons
often roam,
And leave loving mothers so lonely
at home,
And | thought that each boy, as
my tear drops would start,
Held warm place at home III some
mothers heart.
Blu. as | sat troubled and thinking
it Ger,
| heard that two only had gotten
to shore;
There were four on the raft, It's
sad to relate
But two precious bodies had met a
sad fate.
And thus it will be I'm prompted
to say,
Whilst ever the men keep saloons
in the way.
Oh! men who are noble, please help
in our cause,
And demolish saloons by enforcing
our laws.
