Twin -brothers they, and like as peas, through childhood’s tears and joys, They daily grew, till one bright morn were great big, grown-up boys ; life began, I Can. I Cannot, when a baby, always wore a scow!l- ing face, ing sly grimace, And all he seemed to live for was to wriggle and to twist, Or to scream, and choke, and strangle, while he shook his little fist. And when to boyhood he was grown, his only thought was play ; From school he ran a truant oft, and idled time away, And if to work he e’er was asked, he'd always rave and rant, Or else he’d whine and cry aloud ; ‘‘ I cannot, oh, I can’t !” I Can, the blessed baby, always wore a smil- ing face, And he'd “ patty cake the baker’s man” with dainty, childish grace ; And if a stranger took him, he would neither squirm nor twist, But would only try to swallow hard his chubby little fist. And when to boyhood he was grown, though brimming o’er with fun, He went to school, and college, too, and lau- rels there he wor ; His teachers called him oft and oft a manly little man, He never whined, but always said; ‘I'll try; 1 think I can.” A young man grown, I Cannot was a sorry sight to see, For he scarcely knew his letters, only A and B and C. Of course his head was empty, as an old tomato can, For shaking it, he laughed at work, and e’er from duty ran, But what he sowed, that must he reap, it was the same in kind ; I Cannot would not take the pains to store up well his mind, And so for bread he went to beg ; his timo for work was past, And in a hovel ended life, in drear Notown at last. I Can, unlike his brother, was both handsome, straight and tall, he spoke each foreign language, Portu- guese and French and all ; His head was full of learning as a nut was full of meat, And he filled most every office at the Slow- town county seat. His fame went forth to Notown, as a most distinguished man, And the reason was most surely that he always said, ‘* I can.” And had he lived in modern times he'd been a candidate For President, or constable, or Governor of the State. f And My Opinion of Sots. [tis my candid opinion that people waste a great deal of pity on drunkards. To speak of one as a man who yields against his will, to a habit too strong to be overcome, is to romance unnecessarily. Drunkards for the most part intoxicate themselves wittingly, and I refuse to be- lieve that, as a general thing, they make any effort to do otherwise. Of course, the time comes when the sot has softened his brain and has but little will power left. But at first, while he is young and in possession of his faculties, he is always able to live a sober life if he chooses. A drunkard is simply a selfish brute, who utterly disregards the feelings and in- terests of others, and has no sense of duty or responsibility. He likes the condition into which he is thrown by drink—its gaiety, stupor, or whatever it may be, and indulges himself in it. His mother’s heart may break, what does he care! His wife may starve; it does not appear to him to be a matter in which he need interfere. I once heard an old woman, who stood with arms akimbo, looking at an intoxicat- ed man, who lay upon the ground, give utterance to an expletive that described him perfectly; it was ‘* pig.” Oh. what a pig he is, to be sure ! Greedy and despicable creature! I really think the comparison is unjust to some decent porkers I have seen in various places. I have heard people speak of drunkards as ‘‘kindhearted men, if they would but keep sober.’ But men who are truly kind- hearted do not make people blush with shame, nor put it out of their own power to be useful to others. It is doubtful if youever knew a man who began by being upright and trust- worthy, and a credit to his family turn out a sot at last. Every man who has oace or twice in his life taken too much to drink is not in dan- ger of becoming a drunkard. If he wishes to do well, to be honorable, to hold his place in the world, and he is conscientious and kindhearted, he will stop drinking when he finds how it affects him. The good man, persecuted by a demon that made him go mad and beat his wife, would resist the fiend and refuse to enter a barroom door, That is not a loving father who drinks when he knows that his so do- ing means starvation to his children. The drunkard deliberately becomes a sot. {At any time he choose he could have stop- ped drinking to excess, avd become a decent citizen. And the sooner everybody takes this view of the case, the sooner drunkards will cease to be. The ‘‘can’t help it, poor fellow,” of kindhearted people, is an excuse one might make for any sin which God leaves it pos- s for man to resist and flee from.—M. graphers may know), In face and form, tho’ much alike, alike they , SineLe Coprxs Two Cente VOL. 26.- NO. 91 John B. Finch on High License. In his last report tothe Right Worthy Grand Lodge of Good Templars, the late John B. Finch spoke as follows concerning high license :— | ** The aggressive temperance work of the last few years has made untenable the license position occupied by the drunkard- taakers and their defenders. The result has been that in the United States of America and some other countries, they have been driven to antagonize prohibition | with high license. They have endeavored ,to seduce our forces into support of this compromise. They urge in its favor two I Cannot was in many ways far different from ‘things, viz, it will increase the revenue of the state ; it will decrease the number of drinking places. This body should empha- tically repudiate any compromise which At his nurse he e’er was blinking, or else mak- allows civil government to raise revenue by \licensing vice-breeding institutions, or , which gives the protection of state law to | drunkard-factories, Good Templars should _work and vote against men and parties who ‘advocate the policy of licensing, in any form, gambling, prostitution or drunkard- making. The struggle in the United States has narrowed down to high license or pro- hibition, governmental partnership and protection or governmental antagonism and destruction ; revenue in the form of fees for sanctioning, or revenue in the form of fines for violating of righteous law. High license is not a temperance measure. It is a rock rolled upon the track by liquor sellers and politicians to throw off the pro- hibition locomotive. The more than 600,- 000 Good Templars must speak so that politicians shall hear and understand that we understand favoring any form of license or tax to be favoring liquor selling.” 62+6+«4 woura The Colt Stakes at Halifax. GOOD RACING AND EXCELLENT TIME—-THE AMHERST MEN MOST FORTUNATE. (Halifax Herald’s Report.) Lovers of horseflesh had a gala time of it yesterday, and judging by the throngs at the Riding Grounds they constitute a large class in Halifax. The first race was started promptly at 2 o’clock, and when, after frequent attempts to score, it was announced from the judge’s stand that Mr. Spelman would line the horses for the start, there was a hearty round of applause. The racing was perhaps the best that has ever been seen in this city. Many of the heats were excitingly contested, very good time was made, and some of the prophesied record breaking took place. The winners of the different events were as follows :— TWO YEAR OLDS.
