Dh! no, I never drink a drop ;
A bottle’s uever seen;
My lips are nnw forbid to taste
What all my joy has been.
They think the gout that harrows me,*
lias banished my regret ;
And if ,1 smilq. they vainly think
That 1 my giog lorget.
They bid me in exchange for grog; ;
Seek charms in drinking tea;
But nil the tea in Christendom
Would work no change on met
Alas! 1 now behold no iriore ,
, The crony whom I tact s
1 visit not the public bouse— ' --
But how can I forget t
They tell ine he lives sober now,
. Once rumtnestoftho rum;
They hint he’s to be married now—
I know it's all a hum,
Like me he grumbles loud that we
Can't meet as we bavivo.'et;
And if he drank as 1 did drink,
lie never can lorget.

now ar the head of affairs in tlie two countries,
should look to their descendants, to. the rising
generation, and endeavor to lay the foundation

Mountains and desert pi tins form thu natural

the only substitute. The line .11 question
neither follows tin- ridee of a mountain, or tra

length, from tlie mouth of the S ioiuc following
