Shooting rih the Long Bo,c.--The editor
Of the Tin Trumpet gave homily on this sub

seems to admit that we have the laugh upon
him. He complains, however, that we laugh
too long and too loud. But verify we could
not command our risibles, in view of such a
genius displaying on the Tin Trumpet! twas
enough to make the most sober s'horse laugh"

DRINKING SONG.
BY MRS sIGoURHEY.

BY MRS sIGOURNEY.
Drink, friends, drink deep-the noon is high;
Drink, and forget your care
The sultry summer suns are nigh
Drink, and your strength repair;
The deer, that from the hunter flies,
The warrior, red with slaughter,
The camel, meath the burning skies,
Quaf' deep the crystal water!
Our father, Sun, the example gives,
Our mother, Earth, also;
He, jocund, drinks above the clouds,
She bushing, drinks below
Pledge high, pledge long, the friends you !oy",
To absent wife and daughter,
Or blooming maid who rules your heart,
Drink deep-but ONLY WATER
