TRY AGAIN.

(Come, let's see what we can do, Try, try, try aj;ain ,)
D. c. Let each try to get a name ; Try, try, try again.

Total abstinence proclaim ; Spread the cause, nor think It

thame :

Show yor.r courage — uever tire

Try, try, try again,
Let the " cause" your heart inspire,

Try, try, try again ;
Raise your banner, raise it high,
For recruits then loudly cry ;
They will must«r by and by,

Try, try, try again,

If at first your luck be bad,
Try, try, try again ;

Good success will soon be had,
Try. try, try again ;

What if a repulse you yet,
Persevere, you'll prosper yet,
Then your toil you'll not regret,
Try, try, try again.

List as many as you can ,

Try, try, try again ;
On the safe teetotal plan,

Try, try, try again ;
That our army may embrace
Every member of our race,
Emptying the drunkard's plao«.
Try, try, try again.

2, Before all laws, of east or west,

I count the law of love the hest ;

Its accents, mildly spoken,
Will harmless make the poisoned bowl.
Bind up the wounded, and control

The heart that's almost broken.

3. Bofore all people, east or west,

I love the temperance men the best,
I lovo their noble spirit,

In generous deeds, not words they deal ;
They have at heart the poor man's weal ;
All praise their efforts merit.

To all the world I give my hand,
My heart is with that noble band.

Cold-water army brothers.
God speed and prosper every plan
That strives to bless poor sinful man ;

But tlis before all others !

Where's tbe boy that would not shrink
From the bondage of strong drink?
Come then, Joseph, Charles and Tom,
Henry, Samuel, James and John ;
Cheerily, eagerly come along,
Sign our pledge and sing our song.

Who have mis'ry, want and wo 1

And who to the bottle go.

We resolve their road to shun,

And in temp'rance paths to run.
Cheerfully, manfully come along,
Sign our pledge and sing our Bong.

Good cold water does for us ;

Costs no money, makes none worse ;

Gives no bruises ; steals no brains ;

Breeds no quarrels, woes, nor pains.
Readily, joyfully come along,
Sign our pledge and sing our song.

Who wo\ild life and health prolong?

Who'd be happy, wise and stircng ?

Let alone the drunkard's bane,

Half-way pledges are in vain.

Cheerfully, joyfully, you and you,
flisjn the pledge and keep it too.

VIRTUES OF COLD WATE

Shall e'er cold water be forgot,

When we sit down to dine?
O no, my friends, for is it not

Pour'd out by hands divine?
Pour'd out by hands divine, my friends,

Pour'd out by hands divine :
From springs and wells it gushes forth,

Pour'd out by hands divine.
I've seen the bells of tulips turn,

To drink the drops that fell
From summer clouds ; then why should not

The two lips of a belle ?
The two lips of a belle, my friends,

The two lips of a belle —
What sweetens more than water pure

The two lips of a belle ?

3.

3. On then, ye champions of the Right I

Ye men of courage true ;
Keep Prohibition's goal in sight —

No backward step for you !
K"o more shall tears of blood be shed

For licensed death, and woes!
Down -with the trade — forever down!

Though demons may oppose.

R. — Auld Lang Syne.
The sturdy oak full many a cup

Doth hold up to the sky,
To catch the rain, and drinks it up,

And thus the oak gets high;
'Tis thus the oak gets high, my friends,

'Tis thus the oak gets high,
By having water in their cups,

Then why not you and I ?
Then let cold water armies give

Their banners to the air !
So shall the boys, like oaks, be strong,

The girls, like tulips, fair :
The girls, like tulips, fair, my friends,

The girls, like tulips, fair :
The boys shall grow like sturdy oaks,

The girls, like tulips, fair. — Pieepojjt

TEMPERANCE HYMN

Hail! The New Year Jubilee,
Hail! our nation still is free !
Raise we all our cheerful voice,
And in thankful songs rejoice ;
Join we then with sweet accord.
Praise we now our common Lord.

May we now our joys express ?

"While heav'n deigns our land to bless,

Guards our rights, prolongs our days,

God is worthy of all praise.

FOR NEW YEAR.— Tune.—" Hail Columbia"
2. Sons of freedom, all rejoice 1
We again lift up our voice,
Make the upper regions ring,
With the tribute which we bring,
All united, we agree,
Hail ! The New Year Jubilee.
Sing aloud ! 'tis heaven's due,
Sing we in the spirit too.
Lo ! our country still is free,
May she thus forever be!
May her youthful patriots, we,
Hail our nation's Jubilee.

Let us praise ; for it is meet,
Pay our homage at his feet.

THE BAND OF HOP E.— TuiJE.— " The days when we went Gipseymg'

Come all ye children, sing a song,

Join with us heart and hand ;
Come make our little party strong.

A happy temperance band;
We cannot sing of many things,

For we are young, we know,
But we have signed the temperance pledge

A short time ago !
The band of hope shall be our name,

The temperance star our guide ;
We will not know the drunkard's shame,

The drunkard's drink avoid.

Cold water cannot do us harm,

Strong drink may bring us woe.
So we have signed the temperance pledge

A short time ago.
We'll ask our fathers too to come

And join our happy band
True temperance makes a happy homo,

PURE WATER BE OUR CRY. Concluded.

Oh ! yes — untouched, untasted

By our young lips shall be
The draught by which is wasted

Life's bloom and purity ;
From fountains God has given

Why turn to streams of night
And risk our hopes of Heaven,

While angels mourn the sight?
Cho. Oh ! yes — untouched, untasted
By our young lips shall be
The draught by which is wasted
Life's bloom and purity.

Forever, then — forever!

Pure water be our cry,
Till over Jordan's river

We pass triumphantly ;
Then where the stream of glory
Through Eden's valleys flow,
We'll tell our Temp'rance story,
Of Heaven begun below.

Cho. Forever, then — forever!
Pure water be our cry,
Till over Jordan's river
We pass triumphantly.

A drunkard in the public way ;
His face was fire, his words were folly ;
There, in his wretchedness he lay.
Ye drinks of fools, begone from me,

Note. — This odd title is derived from the famous CrambMnbuli-Song, of the German students* and is adapU
to the same tune, which was deemed too good to be confined to words so convivial and absurd. Crambambulil
the name of a drink, too common in German universities, and prepared in an earthenware dish, i>y mixing rul
lugax, and setting it on fire.

PART II. 25

A complaint has been made that most of the Temperance Sonsrs are based on the principle, that the drink has
been abandoned and reform has followed. But these are all unsuited to children of the present time, who have
never drank and never mean to ; who praise the beautiful water and sing their determination to be always ab-
stainers. To meet their case this second part is constructed. The Hymns and Songs, at our special request,
have been made by that superior poet. Dr. Joiix Ross Dix, of the Boston Washington Home ; and the music,
most of it original, has been prepared by Mr. E. J. Day, of New York. We hope it will supply a great want In
Bands of Hope and Juvenile Associations. JOHN MARSH.

The Bible savs that drunkards ne'er
The bliss of paradise shall share :
That wine's a mocker, and at last
Will bind its wretched victim's fast:
Then let me, in life's morning say —
Slum the first glass that would betray.
Cho. Then shall I, &.c.

3 The one first step that leads astray,
Is often in a flowery way,
And oft the drunkard's progress shows
Sin's growth and its reward of woes ;
To save from Habit's glass accursed,
In childhood we will shun the first.

THE STREAM. Tune, Shining Shore.
1.
Pure water's gliding sweetly by

To cheer each passing stranger :
Then why should we to fountains fly,
Whose streams are fraught with danger
Oh ! no, we'll stand, a youthful band,

Beside Hope's shining river,
And this shall be our melody,
Cold water, now and ever.
2.
Tis Temp'rance tints the youthful cheek

With hues of health's bestowing ;
But all the streams which drunkards seek,

Swift, toward the grave are flowing.
Oh ! no, well stand, &c.
3.
From hill and vale, from mountain side,

See crystal waters springing ;
?And " drink from me," to childish ears,
Each little brook is singing.
Oh ! no, we'll stand, &c,
4.
Oh, yes, the wine-cup we will leave

Forever quite untasted ;
And then we shall not have to mourn,
In age, " youth's spring time" wasted.
Oh ! no, we'll stand, &c.

There is many a Drunkard who reels through the street,
We can scarce walk at all but such victims we meet ;
"Who would never have looked such a picture of woe.
If when first asked to drink, he had boldly said, " No!"

3.
Some say No ! so faintly, we cannot but guess
That N, O, in their case means T, E, S, yes,
If we'd live sober lives we decision should show,
And reply in firm tones, unmistakeably, "No !''

4.
Oh! how much it would save both in money and fame,
How often 'twould keep from remorse and from shame ;
If we checked at the first, liquors stream in its flow,
And turned it by saying indignantly — " No !"

Then lasses and lads, heed the word though so small,
When invited to drink, you'll be safe from its thrall,
And onward in health and prosperity go,
Protected and saved by the syllable, "Nol"

Think what 'twill be in after years, Thank God ! our lips have never pressed

To say with honest pride, The rim of miseries glass,
That we ne'er launched our youthful barks And aught that may intoxicate

On Drink's destroying tide ! These lips shall never pass.-

But patiently upon its banks Cold water pure, cold water free ;

We stood to snatch from woe, Is all that man requires.

Poor victims who were sweeping on Then why, with dreams, anticipate

Toward the gulf below. The drunkard's quenchless fires.

•' A draught from the crystal spring for me,"

Quoth one, and he drank it up ;
" A goblet of wine, my choice shall he,"

Laughed the other and drained his cup.
Both went their ways, but at evening gray,

Once more to the well they caiue,
Quo, fair and bright, as he went away ;

One, drooping with grief and 6harne.

'Twill ever be thus as through life we go,

Cold water will cheer and save,
But wine will lead us down below

To Death and a drunkard's grave;
One is sent by God to revive and bless.

And freely for ail it flows ;
The other leaves misery, crime, distress,

And shame, wherever it goes.

LET THE STILL AIR REJOICE. T<jne.— America.

Let the still air rejoice,
Be every youthful voice

Blended in one,
"While we renew our strain
To Him with joy again
Who sends the evening rain

And morning sun.

His hand in beauty gives

Each flower and plant that lives,

Each sunny rill ;
Springs which our footsteps meet,

Fountains, our lips to greet,
Waters, whose taste is sweet,
On rock and hill.

So let each thoughtful child
Drink of this fountain mild

From early youth ;
Then shall the song we raise
Be heard in future days,
Ours be the pleasant way*

Of peace and truth.

Its work is doing :
Oh, comrades onward, one and all,

Man's foe pursuing.
Our Band of Hope shall thin his ranks,
We'll force his centre, turn his flanks,
Cheered on by wives and children's thanks

For what we're doing.
3 Up and be doing — yet there's time

To save from ruin,
To shield from woe, and want, and crime,

We must be doing,

Our faith is strong, our cause is just,
In God and temp'rance is our trust,
We will not let our armor rust ;

Up and be doing.
4 Up and be doing while 'tis day

And we are viewing
The enemy his millions slay.

Up and be doing.
Lord, let the period quickly come
When man no more the slave of rum,
Shall stand in our milleuium,

Redeemed from ruin.
