[Column 1]
IMEPERIAL CHAMPAGNE

BY BARRY GRAY

We meet around the festal board,
With song, and laugh, and jest,
And quaff the Prince Imperial—
The wine we love the best.
Then raise your goblets high, my boys!
The only wine to drain,
Is this—when beauty is the toast—
Imperial champagne.

Through wars may desolate the land,
Or peace in quiet brood,
We'll calm our fears out crown our joys,
With vintage rare and good.
Then raise your goblets high, my boys!
The only wine to drain,
Is this—when glory is the toast—
Imperial champagne.

We scorn the man who clouds his brain
With ale or heavy wine,
And pity him who has not drank
This glory of the vine.
Then raise your goblets high, my boys!
Then only wine to drain,
Is this—when wisdom is the toast—
Imperial champagne.

In youth and age, with this alone
Our glasses will we fill,
"Twill make our joys more joyous yet,
And banish every ill.
Then raise your goblets high, my boys!
The only wine to drain,
Is this—when Bacchus is the toast—
Imperial champage. [Home Journal.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.—The late eminent Judge,
Sir Allen Park, once said at a public meeting in London :
"We live in the midst of blessings, till we ar eutterly
insensible of their greatness, and the source from
whence they flow. We speak of our civilization, our
arts, our freedom, our laws, and forget entireley how
large a share is due to Christianity. Blot Christianity
out of the pages of man's history, and what would his
laws have been? what his civilization? Christianity is
mixed up with our very being and our daily life ; there
is not a familiar object around us, which does not wear
a different aspect, because the light of Christian love is
on it—not a law which does not owe its truth and gentleness
to Christianity—not a custom which cannot be
traced in all its holy parts to the Gospel.
