LOOK NOT UPON THE WINE.

SHUN the flashing wine-glass! Shun its glittering light! Shun its deadly poison, Shun its withering blight!
Look not on its color— Rosy to the brim; Neath its rosy sparkle, Calls a serpent grim.
Yield not to the spirit, Lurking in its glow! Yield not to be smitten By its fatal blow!
Should the hand of beauty Proffer you the bowl, Dash to earth its contents, Peril not your soul!
Trample on the goblet, Shattered let it lie; In your noble manhood Pass the Tempter by.
—Riverside Echo.
