If a Body like a Drappie. Air —Cornin' Through, the Rye. If a body like a drappie, He will aft be dry ■, And though he a!ten tak’ a drappie, ‘Mair’ his draught will cry. Monv folk maun hae a drappie, Ne’er adrap tak’ I, Yet, etrange to think, the folk that drink Are aye mair dry titan I. There if a drink, the best, the first, That publicans ne'er sell, And when ye need to quench your thirst Aye, get it fra the well; If ye taste a wee bit drappie, Either blue or brown, While* ye need a bigger drappie Just to syne it doon. Bide yc aye by nature’s drappie, Burning drinks ne’er try, And seldom willyc be unhappie, Very seldom dry. There is a drink, the best, the first, That publicans ne’er sell, And when ye need to quench your thirst Aye, get it frae the well. John Alcohol, My Jo John. Ait—'John Anderson my Jo." John Alcohol, my Jo John, When we were first acquaint, You sent mo reeling round, John, And oft my nose you’d paint— But now I’ve found you out, John, You’ll make me no more so, For I will cut my luck from you, John Alcohol, my Jo. John Alcohol, my Jo John, In tap-rooms oft I’ve set, With you close at my side. John, Drinking me heavy wet; In attempting to gel up, John, You were sure to lay me low; How cruel you have been to me, John Alcohol, my Jo. John Alcohol,my Jo John, I would flirt with ladies gay, At parties and at balls, John, And walk with them on Broadway; But since you’ve made me ragged, John, And my boot* won’t hide a toe, Each one sticks up her nose at me, John Alcohol, my Jo. John Alcohol, my Jo John, You've often made me dry; You’ve got me into scrapes, John, And ott bunged up my eye: You’ve made me a wretched drunkard, John, O how could you do so! But I will pay you off for what you’ve done, John Alcohol, my Jo. John Alcohol, my Jo John, The pledge I’ll quickly sign, And turn a strong tee-lotaller, John, Leave brandy, beer, and wine— To the Temp'ranco Hall I’ll go, John, To do all the good 1 know, And leavo you to fight your battles out, John Alcohol, my Jo. T E M PE IS AM© E ~ Influence. “ There is no necessity for me to sign a pledge, Harry, for 1 never drink any thing stronger than wine,” said George Duval to Henry Pomeroy. “Very well, then, you do not deny yourself any thing, and may not find an excuse so readily for not signing, or for refusing to sign, so come and sign.” “lean take care of myself. I shall never get drunk, depend upon it, Harry. I hate to see a drunken man so bad that I shall be very careful not to imitate his flounderings in the mire,” and he laugh ed at his emphatic assurances of sobriety. “ Never mind,” persisted Harry, “ you may do much good by your influence.— Who knows but James Hardy will sigu if you do, George, for he and you are good friends, and you may he the means of reforming the fellow; only by putting your signature to the pledge.” “Well, confound you, I’ll sign, if lor nothing else but to put a stop to your clack, for you are eternally talking to me about the pledge ; so here goes.” Harry Pomeroy folded up the pledge, after having read with much satisfaction the name of George Duval appended to the long list, which was composed of the cognomens of young men of excellent standing who had but latterly determin ed to taste the cup no more, and put it in his pocket. An hour after the circum stances we have mentioned, he met James Hardy who had just returned from a “high spree,” the effects of which were yet visible in his countenance. “ You have been drinking, James,” said Harry, “ I wish you had more respect for yourself than to—” “ Stop that sport,” answered James. “ You are always putting on your temper ance soap thick, and I won’t stand it any longer; why don’t you get George Duval to sign, hey ? He boasts of drinking no thing but wine, and even he won’t sign. Pshaw, man, don’t talk to me. If George Duval will sign I will; there go bore him again, and come off'as well as you usually do—minus his signature.” “Then if you could see his name to a pledge, you would write yours under it, would you ?” | “ Yes, I would; but that day will never jbe, I reckon.” “ Here is his signature,” said Henry. ! There was no retreat. James signed the pledge. j “ I do not profess to be a prophet,” said Henry ; “ but I told George Duval that I his influence might be of much avail. • [Boston Washingtonian. Mr. Weed, of the Albany Evening! Journal, in one of his interesting familiar letters from England, writes: ‘Every body drinks beer in England. I have as tonished waiters in two or three instances, by asking for water. When you seat yourself at a table in a ‘Coflee Room’ or ‘Steak House’ for dinner, and have ordered your ‘joint’ or ‘ steak,’ the waiter inquires. ‘Hale, porter or stout, sir?’ If in place of either of the national bever ages, you reply water , he either laughs in your face or turns away, wondering; where such a wild chap could have been! caught. Now that I have seen something of English habits. I am astonished that Miss Martineau should have deemed the circumstance that two or three American women with whom she met, were ‘not all for love, but a little for the bottle,’ worthy of remark. The drinking of hale, porter, and stout, is universal here, with the fe males of the poorest classes of mechanics, females, people and shop keepers. While at dinner at Birmingham, it was observ ed by all of us, the ladies (a dozen) at ! table, drank porter as if they were thirsty, land as if it did them good. The opposite to me, who was well dressed and well ed ucated, disposed of nearly an entire bot tle. You meet ladies at every turn of the streets in London, ‘the rubric of whose faces shows the shrines at which they kneel.’ I have met ladies at exhi bition rooms whose fiery faces entitled them to the distinction of being classed with Shakspeare’s knight of the burning lamp.’ And you find every sidewalk blocked up with lusty ladies, who are in debted for their rubicund faces and round persons, to habitual beer-drinking. I yesterday sat in an omnibus with an old lady and evidently of the wealthy class, the latter of whom was a victim to gout, while the former displayed a face and nose, the maintenance of which had cost as much as Falstaffpaid for ‘sack’ to keep Bardolph’s salamander in fire. The doctrine of Total Abstinence is now beginning to be universally received as the only orthodox temperance creed , and many, that were either ashamed or afraid of the epithets of temperance and total abstinence men, are openly advo cating a cause and assuming names that, but a few years since, they would have rejected with disdain—but “Truth is mighty and must prevail The customs of ages have been relinquished, drunk ards have been reclaimed, the drunken, lazy, idle and dissolute, have become so ber, industrious, civil and obliging. The rum demons have been cast out, and the fierce rum-stricken demoniacs have been found clothed and in their right minds.— O, it is a good and glorious work. Put together the destruction wrought by famine, pestilence, and the sword, and they do not equal the destruction wrought by strong drink. Yet temperance has checked that destruction, and would long ago have ended it, if we had let temper ance have its way, and go its full length. To sustain the traffic in strong drink, it has cost this nation more money than would pay all the expenses of govern ment, and yet temperance in a single year, would pay back all that money, if we would allow' her to act her pleasure. Worthy of Example. “The political parties in Mobile, have agreed, through a Committee appointed for that purpose, that no drinking houses shall be opened pending the election, in that city, by either party, at the expense of the party.” Well-done, Mobile!!! Columbia, when will you come up to this? Never, shall be that blot upon your escutcheon, again, we hope, “ bought up grog-shops.” [S. C. Temp. Advocate. Father Mathew says, that not one in . five liuiulred of those who take the pledge, i violate ft — and many of those who do, . would not were it not for the priests and s doctors—the one giving absolution to l drink beer, and the other prescribing it * as a medicine. Temperance puts wood on the fire, flour in the barrel, meat in the tub, vigor in the body, intelligence in the brain, and spirit in the whole composition of man. Moderate drinker—there are happy r homes and filthy grog-shops. In which 1 do you propose to spend the evening of . your days ? ’ Is it a sact —that the moderate drinker ' feel ashamed when he asks the drunkard \ to sign the pledge ? It is hard to tell when drunkenness i begins, and moderate drinking ends— , as hard as it is to tell when a pig be comes a hog.
