ABOUT BUCK BEER.
Buck beer is demoralising in its tendency when it moreth 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 red-hot narrative, and kicketh like the choleric ' mule. i Who hath woe ? Who hath babbling ? i Who hath redness of eyes? He that goeth to seek the schooner of buck beer. Who hath sorrow ? Who striTeth 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 getteth left. Verily the buckness of buck beer buoketh with a mighty buck, insomuch that the buckee riseth at the noon hour - with a head that compasseth the town round about, and the swellness thereof waxeth more and mare, even from Dan to Beer—Sheba. (Current joke in the Holy Land.) Who clamoreth with a loud voice and saith : " Verily, am not I a bad man ? " Who is he that walketh unsteadily, and ■ittgeth unto himself, " The Bright Ac gels are waiting for me ? " Who wotteth not eren a fractional wot, but setteth his chronometer with the wooden watch of the watchmaker, and by means of a tooth brush P 6b. to. Is it not he that bangeth his intellect forninst the buck beer, even unto the eleventh hour P—Denver Tribune. [
