To Enc.
BY ALT BURNETT.

Oh were you ever drunk. Enc,
And did You never know
The happiness and ecstacy.
Which sets one all a-ylow;
The feeling that we're rich, Enc,
Though owning house nor land;
Oh ! there's nothing like glass or two
To make q man feel grand!
Oh yes, a man feels glorious, Enc,
In head, and heart and heels,
And care is baniShed from his breast,
Which nought but pleasure feels;
But this doesn't last forever, Enc
One wakes to feel and know,
That he mistook for happiness
What was but bitter woe.
They talk about the spirits, Enc,
The spirits of the dead,
And say they calculated ar"
To turn wise mans head;
In this they much resemble you,
The spirits which sing
Both to destruction and the grave,
The wiscst men they bring.
l'vc known the yonng and gifted, Enc,
Fall in a drunkar,i's grave,
Though every hand appeared out>trctchcd,
And vainly strOve to save.
Oh a man feels pleasant. Enc,
When wine is in his head,
But when il ctiervesces, Enc,
lie wishes he were dead.
Then shun the sparkling beverage,
Press not the flowing bowl,
Drink not to death and misery,
To body and 10 soul
For greater men have fallen, Enc,
Greater than YOU or l.,
They thought they drank 10 happiness,
Nor knew that death stood by.

is now engaged in numbering so miles beyond
Fort Kent, wrote his wife the other day that as
he had seen no returns from the elections, he
wished her to write him Immediately stating
who had more knowledge of domestic matters
than of politics, innocently answered him as
follows:

Governor by the people, but from what heard
in tavern the other day, think Paris will be
elected by the old fashioned democrats which

Hanson, CO MOBILES 4G Bassctt, %.
DAKOTA COrNTY.--It is conceded that Sblcy
