fs Runaway horses are unknown In

having a thin cord with a running

When an animal starts the cord is

To swim the Santee at our need,
When on his heels the foemen
press
The true heart and the ready hand,
The spirit, stubborn to be free
The twisted bore, the shifting brand
And we are Marion's men, you see.

Now light the fire. and cook the meal
The last, perhaps, that we shall

I hear the Swamp Fox round us steal
And that's a sign we move in haste
He whistles to the scouts, and bark!
You hear his order calm and low
Come. wave your torch across the
dark,
And let us see the boys that go.

I'VE may not see their forms again.
God help 'em, should they find the
strife
For they are strong and fearless men,
And make no coward terms for life:
They'll fight as long as Marion bids,
And when he speaks the word to
shy,
Then-not till then-they turn their
steeds,
Through thickening shade and
swamp to fly.

GIBBONS FOR TEMPERANCE.
Cardinal Says Use Of Liquor in Moder.
alton Not to Be- Condemned.

Baltimore. Oct. I'm striking address
at St Charles Catholic church, Pikesville,
Cardinal Gibbons asked 81 boys, whom he
had confirmed, to take the pledge of alb
stinence from liquor until they were n
years old. In the course of his address
at High Mass the cardinal referred Incl
dentally to the stand taken by the Cath
olic church on the use of drink. Speak
ing Of the subject he said:
1.-THE church is not fanatical on the sub
ject of liquor. but teaches moderation
Her path is not one of rigor nor yet Of
laxity, but the middle course-the golden
mean. The use of liquor in moderation is
not to be condemned. but if there is dan
ger of abuse, then it should not be used
ut all.
Our Lord was present at banquetS
where wine was used, and changed water
into wine. and by His presence sanction
ed the use in moderate quantities. I cam
not too strongly applaud those who de-
nounce the vice of intemperance. 1t blasts
the flower of youth, undermines the con-
stitution and renders it's votaries degrad-
ed members of society.
MY experience of more than so years
in the ministry has been a daily witness
of the baneful effects and has left sad
impressions. The abuse of the use is
written on the records of society and of
the individual
When asked about the efforts of those
who advocate total abstinence Cardinal
Gibbons declared that their work was
worthy of praise.
But" he said, eve must take men as
they are, and a moderate use OF liquor
has never been condemned by the
church."
