nr THE ANTI-TEETOTALLER.
I'll sing you wondrous song, twas made by a


young pate,
About gentleman who had become Incorporate
His hall so old was drear and cold, and winds


howled round the door;
He scorned to sleep upon bed, and so slept on


the floor,
Like an anti-teetotaller,
One of the olden time
He lived lonely life, for he had fewer friends
than foes, .s.
Yet there he sat in burly state, and rubbed his
.t. old red nose; a tg.r. a.
The greatest enemy he had, lived with him in the
hall,
His name was Dem-John, }" and him he loved the


best of all,
~ Like an SC.
In former days he was gallant and dressed quite


like dandy, @" "@.
Yet the girls soon cut him when they found he


was in love with brandy;
And now a bachelor, his house was as lonely as


barn, .... ....
He had no wife to darn his socks, and he had no


socks to darn,


Like an SC.
He now had fashions of his own, and dressed Just


as he chose,
lie wore a nat WltnONl u CIoWU, ana LOclcSS DOOlS
. and shoes, ..... .........
His trousers they were much too short, or he was


much too long,
And tho he had grown very weak, his breath was


very strong,


Like an, SC.
One day there came friend to him, and begged


the pledge he'd sign,
And ever more forswear the use of brandy, beer,


and wine;
Oh yes" said he, "'ll pledge to thee, come let


us drink a tumber,
Here's "may we never want a horn, drain to the


dregs the bumper"
... Like an, &c.
But when he learned the temperance pledge made


people fat and healthy,
That many who were poor before, by signing ii


grew wealthy,
"Give me the PLEDGE said he, "1m free, I'll


drink no more of sorrow,
My heart is light and shall be, another man to-


morrow


Like a thorough teetotaller,


One Of the present time.
