LONGEVITY.
The horse and mule live thirty years^
They never drin^ light wine and beers.
Sheep and goats are dead at twenty,
They drink no liquor—water plenty.
The dog at jifteens mostly dead,
He looks not on the wine ihat*s red.
At ten the cat*s lost it's nine lives,
On milk one? Water no beast fbriues.
Most birds at five years pass away,
Far, jar jrom alcohol they stay.
The flies hut few days stay on eartfi.
They never knew the cocktail's Worth.
But MODEST DRINKING
WOMEN AND MEN,
Survive for THREE SCORE
YEARS AND TEN.
