SPoScING IT.-The last dodge, says the Gin.
cinnati Enquirer, we have heard in evading
the State Liquor Law, occurred yesterday at
one of our fashionable drinking saloons. An
individual walked up to the counter and de-
mandcd a dime bottle of brandy. Now, the
rule is to charge fifteen cents, unless an empty
bottle is furnished in return for the bottle re-
cevcd; and, as the consumer laid only dime
on the counter. the extra five cents was de.
manded.
II don't want the bottle" said he draw the
cork"
"The liquor can't be drank on the premises, "
replied the bar-keeper.
~ amt going to drink it on the premises,
rejoncd the other, and the bar-kecper s,,ppo-
sing that he had some vessel to pour it into,
drew the cork, when the gentleman quietly
pulled out sponge from his pocket, and pour
ing the liquor into it; then, taking his seat,
commenced lcisurely sucking it,
you Sec" said he, nodding complacently to
the astonshcd bar-kceper, II amt going con.
trary to this rule, for the law says the stuff
shan't be drunk on the premises
The bystanders cama to the conclusion that
the stranger would make an appropriate Gov.
ernor Of Illinois, being decidedly the creates,
sucker of them all.
The American patriot., 1855-06-02
My Life is like the Scattered Wreck.


My life is like the scattered wreck
Cast by the waves upon the shore;
The broken masts, the rifted deck,
Tell of the shipwreck that is DER:
Yet from these relics of the storm,
The mariner his raft will form,
Again to tempt the faithless sea:
But hope rc-builds no bark for me-
My life is like the blighted oak,
That lifts its scar and withered form,
scathed by the lightning's sudden stroke,
Sternly to meet the coming storm;
Yet round that sapless trunk entwine
The curling tendrils of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart--
Not to the passion-blighted heart.
Ny life is like desert rock,
In the mid-ocean lone and drear;
Worn by the wild waves ceaseless shock,
That round its base their surges rear:
Yet there the sea moss still will cling
Some flower will find cleft to spring,
And breathe cen there sweet perfume:
For me ife's flowers no more will bloom.
