Give cents a drink" Does anv one
think
That that is really the price OF drink?
"Five cents a glass;" l hear you say,
"Why, that isn't very much to pay"
An, no, indeed. tits very small sum. g,
You are passing it over 'twixt finger and
thumb,
And If that were all you gave away
1t wouldn't be verv much to pay.
The price of drink? Let that one tell
Who sleeps tonight in a prisoners cell.
Honor and virtue. love and truth,
All the glory and pride of youth,
Hope of manhood. the wealth of fame,
High endeavor, and noble aim
These are the treasures thrown away
For the price of a drink from day to day
Five cents a glass!' How Satan laughs
AS over the bar the young man quaffed
The beaded liquor; for the demon knew
The terrible work that drink would do.
The price, if you want to know
What some are willing to pay for it, 60
Through the wretched home. where,
With dingy windows and broken stair.
Where foul disease like vampire craws
With outstretched wings DER the moldy
walls,
Where the innocent ones are there accurst
To pay the price OF another''s thirst. .,
Five cents glass!' Oh: if that were all
The sacrifice would indeed be small:
But the moneys worth is the least amount
We pay, and whosoever will keep account
viii learn the terrible waste and blight
That follows the ruinous appetite.
Five cents glass;" Does any one think
That is really the price of a drink

The danger from the liquor traffic, over

danger there is of the national conscience

A bill is before the Legislature Of Vir'
