CHARYBDIS AND SCYLLA.
  V Dear friend, launching out on the OCBH.11 of life S
 ·` Keep your eye on Charybdis and Scylla.
  Though the voyage is fraught with perils and strife,
  V Steer straight through Gharybdis and Scylla.
  On the right is Scylla with all he1· deceit, l `
ii  i _ Turn to the left and Charybdis you’ll meet, Q
, Friends in the country, city or villa, i
  Steer straight when you meet Charybdis and Scylla. N ,
_  The bar room with all of its crime and its woe,
  Surely not is your friend, but your enemy and foe ; l
  The outside seems fair, but probe far within, A i
` l  VV You find no pleasure, naught but sin. i
  The whirlpool of Scylla is dangerous, dear boy,
V, Steer near her waters and your ship sl1e`ll decoy, ` ‘
E  Steer for a moment your ship out of line,  
° And Scylla around you her waters will twine.  
 (
 2 The gambling hell, too, curse of our State,
  l In the lurking (Jharybdis does your frail bark await,
  The fascinating whim, the seemingly fair breeze,
 ii i\Vill your strong arm of manhood, your morality freeze.
  The pleasure she offered, when you asl; lor shall mock,
  And your ship will be torn by the sharp piercing rock, 1 -
  Friends in the country, city or villa,
  Steer clear when you meet with Charybdis and Scylla. T
V —-Roar. ALLEN.
