Mr. Editor:—Being at leisure

yjost estinmblo paper, believ

WHERE HAS 1880 GONE.
By Liutuana Moui/ton,
Wliere do you s’pose 1880 is?
Where do you tliink it lias pone?
These questions puzzles me sorely,
T’ve thought of it night nndmorn;
And very often I’ve wondered,
Little folks wonder, you see,
If eighteen hundred and eighty that’s
gone,
Would ever come back to me.
So to-day I asked my tencher,
Where the dear old yearoould bo,
For I thought slic’d sure explain
All about such tilings to me;
But she only shook her head, saying,
“Thats a query very broad:”
query very broad;”
Then she sadly smiled and answered,
“Eighteen-eighty’s gone to God."
Gone to God] Then of course it can
Nevermore conic hack again;
How I wish I’d been more careful,
And not sent God so much pain|
Oli, there are many heedless words
Wicked thoughts and unkind deeds
That the Lord will find against me,
JFlieu eightecn-ciglity he roads,
And now let each one of ps try,
And make their new year so glad,
That when it shall go back to God,
The record won’t make him sad.
For it may be when oighty-ono
Shall have down with its record true,
It may bo. when it goes to God’s throno,
That wo shall have gone there, too.
WHAT IS WHISKEY.
Whiskey is frequently recommend
ed as a tonic. This is a mistake, it is
an alterative; it alters dollars to
cents,home to hell, virtue to crime,
clothes to rags, happiness to misery,
iuen to brutes, and life to death.

great powers of influencing the

the people should take hold of the
subject and light it only as chur
ches can light it, by attacking it
in every household, and convin
cing the judgement and appealing
to the feelings of individuals, then
some good results may be looked
for. The inefficiency of legislative
enactments is too well known .when
the sympathies and habits of those
relied on to execute them are in
in active accord with offenders.

punishment. They give aid,

and the weakest is the most inter
esting. The wisdom and power
of an earnest church cannot be

perate and in waging war against
evils like intemperance. # The
