SEPTEMBER OR NAY.
Say what you will of sunny June,
Or boar DEFENDERS crystal moon.
But give me September or May,
For outdoor work or rural play.
With balmy May comes Spring uatured.
Ere to summers heat we are Injured,
Or burning sun so oppressive grows,
We long for DEFENDERS cooling SHOWS.
September we can hardly DER praise,
With restful nights as long as the days,
Nor 10 May when the days are growing
long.
Can we quite do justice in prose or song.
So. of early fall or latest spring,
Our notes of praise must ever ring,
For in one we greet the harvest sheaf-
The other, bloom and full grown leaf.
Then give me the joyous bloom Of May,
Or jocund harvest of September gay;
In the first the fruitage promise is seen;
In the latter harvest is ready to CLEAN.
'Tis harvest to choose between the two.
For both are tempered by skies so blue,
And one is beaming with promise fair
While the other fulfiIls with lavish care.
Anticipation is the joy Of one;
Realization when the summers done;
Each is a part Of life's bequest;
Both are helpful to make us best

SAVED BY PRAYER.
How Young Man Was Kept from
Yielding to Temptation in
a Great City.

"Good-by, Harry; remember that
mamma will always pray for your
safety"
These were the last words Harry
heard as he went out Of the gate toward
the railroad station to take the train
for New York The words kept ringing
in his ears as the train passed rapidly
out of the village and new scenes came
to his view. At the station in New York
city his uncle was waiting for him.
In a few days Harry was at work in
the new, grand store of his uncle. There
he became acquainted with young men
of his own age who seemed friendly, in
yited him to join in their excursion par
ties in the evening, and visit them at
their homes. Before the first week was
ended he had visited three Of the boys of
the city and taken a trip over to Jersey
City, where several other boys took a
trip on their bicycles Harry had
brought his wheel with him and enjoyed
the trip over the new country very
much.
After they had gone a distance, they
stopped for refreshments, and he soon
found himself standing at a bar in a
saloon.
What will you have, Harry?" he
heard one of his new friends inquiring.
'I'll take glass of lemonade, if you
please" answered Harry.
pretty good joke, Harry; but you
don't get such stuff here; we are ali
going to have beer; III order one for
you, too" And before he could think
of an answer, the bartender had placed
it before him.
Harry felt a lump in his throat, but
with a fixed determination, answered.:
mo, | do not drink"

INTERESTING INFORMATION.

The Jail at Guildhall, Vt. is now well
filled, when under prohibition it stood
empty for months at time.
The agent of a wholesale liquor house
at st. Paul, Mimi, has just been arrested
and put under bonds of s., 900 for solicit
ing liquor orders in North Dakota.
In Boston, since Judge Emmons issued
his famous order in regard to arrests for
drunkenness, the cases for drunkenness
have fallen off rs per cent.
Ian Maclaren" urges that the dram
shop keeper who by his degradation of
customer has rendered family destitute
and shelterless should be made RESPONSE
bic for the support of that family The
Advance well says that this is sound
reason but it is advanced ground, even in
America"
After two years of no license the town
of Richland Center, Wis, voted for IL
cense, and within ten hours after saloons
opened one man was stabbed; his assail-
ant pleaded self-defense, and a third
man was arrested for drunkenness and
sent to Jail the first time in 10 months
that the Jail had been so used.
At Manchester, n H., saloon was
opened within 200 feet of the Free Baptist
church. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Mitchell,
appealed to the liquor commissioner.
The church sets back from the street
some 20 feet, and the saloonists meas
ured around the corner and up to the door
of the building. The commissioners ruled
that the measurement must be in
straight line on the sidewalk, and the
saloon is closed

Pshaw!" exclaimed one of the young
men, you are not temperance, are
you?"
"a glass of beer cannot hurt you; it
is healthful." said another
81 promised mother" replied Harry,
that | would not drink anything that
might make a drunkard of me, and if
never begin, shall never have to stop;
no one has ever become drunkard who
refused the first glass; but many drunk
ards who meant to stop after they had
tasted beer or liquor just once no,
shall not drink"
1t was long speech for Harry to
make, but he thought of his mothers
prayer, and resolved that she should not
pray in vain. He expected the boys
to ridicule him for his remarks When
Tom Ankers, the young man who had
worked next to him at the store, there
fore took him by the hand, and with
emotion said: Thank you, Harry; my
mother used to tell me the same thing;
she thinks her boy has never brought
the Intoxicating cup to his lips; prom
Use you that from tonight on | shall try
to keep it," it surprised Harry greatly.
But his surprise increased when one
of the other young men came forward
and said: 81 promised my present en-
ployer that l would never again enter
saloon to drink, when he saw me in one
the last time, and he told me he could
not keep young men in his employ who
were addicted to the drink habit
wanted to keep my promise, but always
was afraid to refuse when in the COM
pany of Others"
Boys" said Adam Wagner, this is
the first time | ever took drink. My
father died a drunkard and have often
heard him say that the first glass was
the opening of a life of misery. He
often asked me to leave all intoxicating
drinks alone; | mean to do so after to-
day, and you fellows must help me to
keep my promise"
1--WE shall, we SHALL" replied his
friends, Immediately.
But, tell us, Harry" said the young
man who had spoken after Tom; how
was il possible for you to refuse? Didn't
you expect us all to laugh at your re-
marks? What gave you such courage
in this hour of danger?"
Harry told them the story in his sim
pie, truthful manner, concluding with
the words.
Boys, my mothers prayers saved
me"
Harry" said Adam, when you write
home again tell your mother about the
occurrence this evening, and be sure and
say that we we're saved by her prayer"

They Need n Rest.

A few days ago, says the Cleveland
Press, convention of bartenders was
held at Euclid Beach park, one of the
very few dry pleasure resorts in Cleve-
land, o. There were several hundred of
the liquor dispensers present. An at
tache of the park, being afflicted with
curiosity, asked one of them: why did
you fellows pick out Euclid Beach park,
temperance resort, for your conven-
tion?' The reply was: Because we are
up against the buns every working day
Of our lives, and when we take a day off
we want to get clear of the crowd" Any
man who can read English can see the
moral in that reply without having it
pointed out to him.
