STOP THE TAP.
Of . evil mem «sd evil deeds ’Tis.uselew to complain; Our tears, our protestation*, Oar pleadings, are in vain— For those we lore and long to keep From falling in’ the trap Will surely meet toe dnmksrSe to* Unless we stop the Tap. Oh, ye who paint the dreakagdti woaa. And all the anguish tell Of those who follow in the treak That leadeto down to Beil, Go, plead with those who aretoaewa Of sorrowful mishap. In crime the greatest criminals, And bid them stop the Tip. The mothers, brothna, states, wive*, Whose pleadings are in vain. The widows and toe orphaned maa. Whose tears drop like rain. In hopeless misery bemoan Each terrible mishap; And cry out irf their agoßyt’ Why don’t you atop the TkpP All useless are their prayers and tev - God listens, it is true; But, oh! my fellow-brother, man, The remedy’s with you; And these, our dear ones, would not toB So oft in Satan’s trap. And stain their hands with He* and oiM, If you’d only stop the Tap. Paterson street, Monringtoe.
