It was something t her in after years
When her i-vs were drenched with

And .-ho watched in lonely grief and

And startled to hear a staggering tread.
'It's nothing ti rue," the nu ther said.

It wa something to her when her only

AnI madly ca-t in the. thwing bowl
A ruined ho ly and a shipwrecked soul.
"It's nothing to me," the young man
cried ;
In his eye was a Hash of fcorn and

"I hed not the dreadful things you tell,

It was something to him when in prison
he lay,
The ictun of th ink life ebbing away,
As be thought of Lis wretched child

And the mournful wreck of Lis wasted
life.
'It's m thing to mc," the voter said,
'"The party's lo-s is my greatest dread ."
Then he gave hi i vote for the liquor

Though heai I s were ciushed and

It was something to l.ini in after life.
When his 'daughter became a drunk

And her hu-'gry children cried for

A trend led to hear their father's tread,
'If-n. Thing to me," 'he merchant

As iA'i'1 his h-dgei he bet t his head;
"i'm b;:y t .-'Any with tare and trei,
And have no time to luti.e and fret."
It was -ornct! in to him when ever the

A message cr.me from a funeral pyre
A drunken conductor had wrecked a

And hi.-, wife and children were among

reputation as a poj.ular speaker, and
in 1815 was sent to Congress, takiri"

His regiment was ordered home
