when the unclean spirit is gone out
of man. he waIketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and finding none,
he saith, / will return unto my house
whence I came out. And when he
cometh he findeth it swept and garn-
ished. Then goeth he and taketh to him
seven other spirits more wicked than
himself; and they enter in, and dwell
there. and the last state of that man
is worse than the first" Luke, 11;24 20,
26.
Adieu to all that life holds kind.
Today / must make up my nina
To flee as fed the saints OF old
From all that makes life sweet TO hold.
No more for me the flowing bowl,
No more the draught that warns the
soul;
Farewell the lips that tempt to sin,
The ewes that danger turks within.
Too long we've quaffed, nor looked be-
fore:
The time for jaunt and jest is DER,
The past was rich in mirth and cheer
But with the dawn comes stern New
Year.
Alas. that man should cherish most
Theimp that leaves to bring a. host
OF larger devils back to fiout
The soul that forced the first to rout.
That would indeed be sorry plight
ri keep the little imp in sight,
III quaff the bowl, bid joy remain,
And live the old year new again.

They ring in "ef" and "ruther,'
And "thist," and "shucks' and

The spelling, though, is quaint.

appeared to be all right. When GoulG

that Cash had retired, and called him.
He repeated the call, and on getting no
answer went over to the bed. He was
Mortified to find Cash unconscious and
Immediately summoned Dr. T. S. Cook

found Cash unconscious and almost

also threatened to repeat the attempt
but said he would not make failure OF
