ABOUT BUCK BEER.

Buck beer is demoralising in its tendency when movoth itself aright. It layeth hold of the intellect and twisteth it out of shape. My son, go not with them who go to seek buck beer, for at last it stingeth like the brocaded hornet with the rod hot narrative, and kicketh like the choleric mule. Who hath woe ? Who hath babbling ? Who hath redness of eyes ? He that goeth to seek the schooner of buck beer. Who hath sorrow ? Who striveth when the middle watch of the night hath come to wind up the clock with the fifteen puzzle ? He that kicketh against the buck beer and gettelh left.

"Verily, the buckness of buck beer bucketh with a mighty buck, insomuch that the buckee riseth at the noon hour with a head that compasseth the town round about, and the swellneiss thereof waxeth more and more, even from Dan to Beer—Sheba. (Current joke in the Holy Land). Who clamoreth with a loud voice and sailh : " Verily, am not I a bad man ?" Who is he that walketh unsteadily, and singeth unto himself, " The Bright Angels are waiting for Me?" Who wotteth not even a fractional wot, but setteth his chronomotcr with the wooden watch of the watchmaker, and by means of a tooth brush ? Go to. Is it not he that bangeth his intellect forninst the buck beer, even unto the eleventh hour ?—" Denver Tiibune."
