THINGS NEVER DON) ,
(Treater &side than have ever been soon,
Brighter souge than the poet has !sung,
Are the things that are dreamed and tried,
I ween,
But whioh have never been done.
The fairest pintos the artist paints
Is hung on the wall of his brain ;
On hie canvas reste but tho.abadow faint,
Of what he wished to attain.
Above success hovers ever the thought,
Marring sadly its blas ;
Better than this was the thing 1 sought -
Better, far better, than this.
For, strive as wo mnyl wo can not peep
The visions that lure us on --
They aro aver held in our mental clasp,
Aud our best is never done,
But this fancy does oft my senses woo ;
That perhaps in the world to come
We shall find the ;hinge wo have tried
to do,
But which have never been done.
KING ALCOHOL.

The questions 1 shall put to thee.
What is thy age, what is thv aim
Whitt is thy trade, what is thy name?
00 .\xewsns
11.ty ago is o'er a thousand years,
Aly aim to fill the earth with tears ;
My trade to kill and make expense.
My name it is intemperance.
Long have I ruled upon the earth,
To many erimas I've given birth;
I'm father to all grief and woe,
And spread distress where'or I go.
Aly dwelling place is at the bar,
Aly customers are near and far:
I fill their heads and drain their purse,
And turn their blessings to a curse,
My face is covered with a mask,
My hiding place is in a cask ;
My business is to gender strife,
And put asunder man and wife.
I visit grog shops all around,
Where Satin is I'ni always fonnd ;
1 am his waiter day and night,
IIis service is my uhief delight,
Ito is my captain and my guide,
I always stand close by his sido ;
Have killed:more man (upon my word)
Than famine pestilence or the sword.
With my deceitful flal'ring tongue
I draw to me both old and young,
And when I get them in my snare
1 hulrlthem fast and keep them there.

Now their sending out fulfils !
Ilow they rankle, rankle, rankle
In the startled creams of night,
