SCOTCH WHISKY

The following intending description of bandy enjoying himself we extract from an article in tho Glasgow Weekly Herald, in which the superiority of whisky over beer is argued .on the ground of its superior effects, ttero « our contemporary's description of the Scotchman " in a ucriect state of whiskiligation ; .One dram of good whisky sends through h» veins o glow liko a breath of delicious air from Araby tho Blast; a March gleam comes into his eye, an April tint upon his • cheek, and to tho tip of Ms tongue a sort of May melodiousness. You would think trom bis face that be bad seen an antral A second dram deepens the impression. Ihe man becomes kindly, charitable, and philanthropic on quite an impannl scak. aud he begins to propound remedies for in peculiar evils that afflict society. A thSf d"mow» him tho fiih of vision. He can loot into the seeds of time, aud tell which will grow and which will not. Espocia ly ■■ v he is prepared to expound tho mysteries of J religion, and be enforces bis propositions ■' with a slap upon tho table that makes he glasses dunce. Mo is now inclined to bo complimentary to Providence for tbe decidedly high measure of ability exhibited in the works of Nature; and if bis cronio opposite, who has, of course less illumination than himself should venture to hint a doubt, ho lashes out against all seep lies, for whom .13 he easily shows, there is only one place and that by no means a cool one. With a fourth dram ho becomes electrically patriotic. His inches visibly increasej his eyes glow with kindly fire; be seems to weild the sword of the Liberator, he stands up with the help of some projection; he rentes "Scots wha hae?" at the full pitch of his voice; and ends, —by taking the measmc of an unmade gravo on Ihe hold of the evening's renown.
