A
boy would to a bar-room go
Whether his mother would let him or no.
So off he went in his fine, new hat
But he fell in the gutter and ruined that.
"Pray, Mr. Bar-man, give me some beer,
For I'm a gay boy, and fond of good cheer;"
But while he was taking beer and gin,
Two big policemen came marching in:
This put the boy in a dreadful fright
And he wished he had stopped at home that night.
They shut him up in a dark cell
And after that he acted well !

LITTLE ALICE
L
ITTLE ALICE,
a dear little girl only eight years old, was
taken sick with a very bad fever. The doctor came to
see her every day and sometimes twice a day. It seemed
as if she would burn up with the fever. She ate nothing, and got
weaker and weaker. One day the doctor came in when she was so
weak she could not pise her head, and he said, "All we can do
now is to give her brandy." Alice heard him. Looking up at the
doctor she said as loudly as she could, "No brandy for me; I'll
die first! I'm a temperance girl!"
