OVER THE RILL TO TEU1I POOR.
HOUSE.
Over the hill to the poor -house I'm
trudgin' my weary way—
I, a woman of seventy, and only a trifle
gr'ay—
I, who am smart au' chipper, for all the
years I'vo told,
As many another wonan that'e only
half as old.
Over the hill to the poor-house—I can't
quite make it clear 1
Over the hill to the poor•lu. se—it seems
so horrid queer 1
Many a step I've taken, a.toilin' to and
fro ;
But this ie the abet of journey, I never
thought to go.
What is the lase of heapin' on me a
pauper's sheme ?
Am I lazy or crazy ? Am I blind or
lams ?
True, 1 am not as supple, nor yet eo
awful stout ;
But oharity ain't no fever, if one can
live without.
I am ,villin' and anxious and ready auy
day
To work for a daunt Hein', an' pay my
honest way ;
For I can earn my viotnnls, an' more too,
I'll be bound,
If anybody only is willin' to have Ile
round.
Once I was young au' han'some—I was,
upon my soul—
Onoe my oheelts was rosea, my eyes as
blaelt as coal ;
And I can't rot -camber, in thorn days, of
hearin' people say,
For any kind of a reason, that I was in
their way.
Tain't no use of boastin', or talkie' aver -
free,
But many a house an' home was open
then to mo ;
Many 0 han'eoma oiler I had from likely
men,
And nobody ever hinted that I was
burden then,
And when to John I was married, sure
he was good an' emart,
But he anelf the neighbors would own
I deoe my part ;
For life wee all before me, an' I was
young an' strong,
And 1 worked the best that I could iu
tr'yin' to gel along,
Au' so we worked together, an' life was
hard, bat gay,
With now and then a baby for to cheer
110 On our way;
Till we had half a dozen, and all growed
Olean anti neat,
And went to anhool like others, and had
enough to eat.
5 , we worked for the ohildren and raised
thein every one ;
Worked for 'am Summer and Winter,
just as we ought to've done ;
Only perhaps 110 humored 'em, whish
some good folks condemn.
But every couple's ohildl^u's a beep the
boot to them,
Strange how =oh wO think of our bless.
ed little ones 1—
I'd have died for my daughters, I'd have
died for my actual
And God be ;nada that rule of love ;but
when we're old and gray,
I've nabbed it sometimes somehow fails
to work the other way,
Strange, another' thing: when ohs boys
and girls Was grown,
And when, oxoeptie' Charley, they'd loft
00 there alone ;
When John he nearer and nearer oome,
and dearer seemed to be,
The Lord of hosts 110 oome one day and
took him away from me,
Still I was bound to straggle and never
to cringe or fall--
Stil11 worked for Qllerley, for Clrarley
wee now my all ;
And Charley was pretty good to me, with
scarce a word or trove,
Till at hast he wonta.00urtin' and brought
a wife from town.
She lune somewhat dresey and hadn't
pleasant smile--
She
mile—She was quite 0ouoeity and carried a
1
hea u' style ;
But if ever I tried to be friends I did
with her, I know ;
But elle lune hard and proud and 1 could
not make it go,
She had an odioation and Haat was good
for her ;
But when she twitted me on mine, 'twee
oarryin' things too bur ;
And I told her once, 'fore company (and
it almost made her sink,)
That I never sweltered a grammar or 'et
a h'itbrnoblo.
So 'twee only a few days before the thing
WAS done --
They was a family of themselves and I
another one;
And a very little cottage one family will
do,
But 1 never seen a home 61106 was big
enough for two.
And I 110201 could speak to suit her,
never could please her eye,
And i6 made me independent and then I
didn't try ;
But I was terribly staggered and felt it
like a blow,
When Ohnrley turned ag'in ane and told
me I could go.
I went to live with Susan, but Susan's
house was small,
And the was always a bintiu' how snug
it was for us all ;
But what with her husband's sister's, and
what with children three,
Twae easy to discover that there wasn't
room for me.
And then I went to Thomas, the oldest
son I've got,
For Thomas's buildinge'd oover the balf
of an aore lot ;
But all the obildr'n was on me—I could
not stand their sauce—
And Thomas said I needn't think I was
comic' there to bots.
And then I wrote to Rebecca, my girl
who lives out West,
And to Isano, not far from her—some
twenty miles at beet ;
And one of them said 'twos too warm
there for any one so old,
And t'other had an opinion the climate
was too cold.
So they have shirked and slighted ms
and shifted me about—
So they have wellnigh soured me and
wore my old heart out ;
Bol still I've borne up pretty well and
wasn't much put down,
Till Charley went to the poor -master
and put me on the town.
Over the hill to the pcor.honse—my
ohildr'n deer, good-bye 1
Many a nighb I've watched you when
only God was nigh ;
And God'll judge between ns ; but I will
al'ays privy
That you will never softer the half Ido
to -day.

A PASTOn.11. 00011 1)00. Dn. OMAN.
The following is a pastoral from Dr.
Carman, General Superintendent of the
Methodiet church of Canada :--
The
—The Methodist General Conference
Standing Committee on Temporanoe,
would respectfully submit the following
deliverance on the Prohibition Plebiscite
to be taken January 10,1894 :
Whereas, the Legielabure of the
Province of Ontario, in response to a
large number of petitions from churches,
Temporanoe Sooieties and aluuioipal
bodies has deoidod that a vote be taken
on the prohibition of the "Importation,
Manufacture and Sale as a Beverage of
Intoxicating Liquors ;°
And whereas, it has been repeatedly
etated that the °wintry is not reedy for
Prohibition, thereby making it desirable
that weaooept the opportunity now given
to the people of Ontario to vote apart
from all political entanglements upon the
question involved ;
And whereas, the great Uniou Prohi.
bition Convention hold in Toronto on
8rd and 4th of Ont., '03, paesed resolu-
tions etronely urging the united aatien
of all citizens of thep100100e in the en•
denvor to poll the large=t passible vote in
favor of said measure ;
And wheals, the importance of the
issue is to great that we should be will-
ing to lav aside our personal opinions
and predilections end unite as au elector-
ate in one solid boily at the ballot box in
favor of Prohibition on the 1st January,
1824n;
And whereas, our 011110b' has been
always abreast of poblio opinion on the
restriction and prohibition of the liquor
traffic and has not hesitated to declare,
ou all suitable occasions, her profound
convictions of the evils entailed upon
Society in its civil, political, educational,
moral and religious life and activities by
this licensed trade in alcoholic liquors,
Therefore, be it resolved,
1. That we, the members of the West-
ern section of the General Conference
Standing Committee on Temperance,.
assembled in the city of Hamilton t11is.
12th day of October, '98, call upon the
Methodist electorate to unite their efforts
to carry to a brinmphant issue the ques-
tion of Prohibition as now before the
Province. And we would further em-
phasize this gall by reminding our people
of Chu legislative enaotments of our Gen.
eral Conference and also of the recom-
mendations of our Annual Conferences
touching this question.
2, That in the opinion of your Com.
mittre the supreme moment bee arrived
for suoh notion as will leave no room in
the minde of our legislators coloernine
the ripeness of public opinion for the
total suppression of the liquor traffic.
8. That your Committee would farther
oall attention to the importance of such
action being taken by the ministers and
Official Boards in theirapproaohing Nov.
meetings as will in their jadgment best
seoire the end sought. Also, that each
minister be requested to devote at least
one Sabbath Service, at as early a date na
practicable, to the presentation of this
important matter to our people.
4. And we would further cholera the
great desirability of our penple eo riper -
tine actively in public meetings, canyon.
tions, the eirenlatiou of literature and in
such other ways and methods as ore
suitable to thole reepeotive localities.
5. And we would further request the

subject, addressed to the churohes in
