POET’S CORNER.
TW ill T A IIIIOP.
“ ’Tis but a drop,” the father said,
And gave it to his son ;
But little ilid he think a work
Of death was then begun.
The “drop” that lured him when n
babe
Scarce lisped liis father’s name,
Planted a fatal appetite
Deep in his youthful frame.
’Tis but a drop.” the comrades eric, >
In truant schoolboy tone
“ It, did not hurt us in our robes
It wi 1 not now we are grown.”
And so they drank the mixture up,
That reeling, youthful baud ;
For each had learned to love the taste
From his own father's hand.
“’Tis but a drop—l need it now,”
The staggering drunkard said ;
“ It was my food in infancy—
My meat, and drink, and bread.
Adn p—a drop—O let uie have,
.’Twill so refresh my soul!”
He took it—trembled—drank and died,
Grasping the fatal bowl.
