DRINK, brothers, drink; Mans life is but a
bubble,
Dancing a moment in the cup Of Death.
Smoke, brothers, smoke, and blow away all
trouble
What better use for transitory breath?
Sink, Fatherland some feet its surface
under;
A hole will soon be all that's yours and
mine:
What will it matter then to US, / wonder,
Who reigns above ?-the CAR may have
the Rhine. ,-->...s--- -
Behold, how fast the tide of Timesis flowing /!
But let our nectar be swifter stream.
How quick the scytbe, US, blades of grass,
is moving!
And then eternal slumber ends the dream
Why vex our souls, my brothers, in defending
What you and |, at least, must soon resign
Then we shall not know who their necks are
bending
Under the Cars yoke-let him have the
Rhine.
The Rhine runs on with one continual mo-
ton,
Its fated course pursuing 10 the sea,
And, as its current hastens to the ocean,
So to the gulfof nothingness DO we.
Our blood is dearer than our rivers water !;
When we are gone, get they who can its

We won't expose our carcasses 10 slaughter
Keep whole your skins-the CAR may
have the Rhine.
Fellows like leaves, are falling every second;
Each m ont aOp
knell
Letters and arts--at what can they be
reckoned
Which we to night may have to bid fare
well?
What if despot check all speculation,
And tongue and pen, and range of thought
confne?
They that remain will mourn the deprivation,
But not we dead the CzAR may have
the Rhine.
Vanity all that is the sum of thinking.
Darkness will be the end Of all our light.
Happy are we so long as we are drinking.
Better to hope for shadows than to fight.
Before his time who runs the risk of dying,
He Is a fool heros name is fine,
But who can hear it in his earth-bed lying
Honor IA straw the CAR may have
the Rhine.
Shame will be nothing then to us, or sorrow.
What is our fame, when we have passed
away?
The end of all things is at hand tomorrow,
Stuff we the pipe and ill the bowl to-day.
Tobacco clouds are curling dim around us !:
In darker shades ere long we shall recline.
Twill be all over when the shroud hath
bound US.
Give me the cup--the CAR may have the
Rhine.
What do our brains, with metaphysics mud
died,
Teach us, except that all is empty here
All but this glass It's sweeter to be fuddled
With the profound philosophy of beer.
Draining the beer-pot therefore, brother
sages,
Let us roll wisely down our little line:
Live in the present, not for future ages.
Well have the swipes-the GAR may
have the Rhine.--Pmach, June l6

Kossuth On American Citizenship.

1 never addressed either Frenchmen or
Germans, or Irishmen, in America, with
out admonishing them, Before all and
abore all be Ameracans' Cherish the rec
objections of your old native land as the
departed son cherished the memory of his
fathers house, allotted to the brother that
remained at home: rejoice in his joy,
grieve in his grief, partake of his sorrows,
and lend him a brothers. hand for making
the old house of the father more comfort
able to your kindred. These natural af-
fections are a great boon to Providence in
your hands for the glory, happiness and
security of your adopted fatherland. The
policy of isolation is bad pol;cy-free-
dom is not secure only by community !;
the ocean is no barrier against the hostile
principle of despotism, if your adopted
country stands alone, and the enemy has
the power Of world to WELD. May the
old affections of your heart serve to pre-
serve your new fatherland from the dan
ger of isolation. Yours is the task Of
grating the twig of philanthropy upon
the stock of American patriotism. Broad,
practical, national philanthropy, is the
best patriotism for the only great Repub-
lie of the world. 1t is the best-the only
guarantee of its future But, as sure as
you value freedom, civilization, your own
happiness and the welfare of your chill
dren, divest yourself of the idea of either
making America German or Irish, or
forming Germany-an Ireland in
America. Speak your language, adore
your God, but don't try to be distinct
nation in the American nation-be phi
lanthropic Americans, but before all and
abore all be Americans-or else you will
bring ruin upon your own house by bring
ing division upon your adopted country;
and division of America is a definite tri-
umph of despotism throughout the world

SnOring.

|
An anecdote was well told, some years
ago, of polite Southerner, an accom-
plished and kind hearted gentleman.
On one occasion he had been driving
hard from morning till night, over the
rough roads in the neighborhood of Colum-
bia, s, c., and alighted at the only COM
Portable looking tavern in the place, very
hungry and very tired. Sticking his eye
glass to his eye-his constant companion,
he being very near sighted-he demanded
roast fowl, some good wine and q com
Portable room for the night.
The landlord was Exceedingly sorry"
but he ''couldn't give him comfortable
room; the only place he could have to
sleep in was double-bedded room with
another gentleman"
"Yery well, sir, let us have the best
you've got. No man can do more than
that.
After discussing his supper, he sought
his room, turned in, and went to sleep
His slumbers were destined to be of very
short duration Before long he was ava
kened by call from the other bed-"Sir!
.Sirin
"Bless my soul - cried D, thrust
ing his glass up to his eye, and endeavor-
ing to peer through the dark, "what's the
matter, my dear sir' Is the house on
fire, or are there bugs in your bcd:"
Neither, sir; but, my dear sir, you
snore SO terribly that cannot sleep, sir.
1t is terrific, sir !"
''Bless me, my dear sir, I am shocked
that | should have been SO rude as to
snore in gentleman's presence, and he
stranger to me. | really ask your par
don, sir, and beg you'll overlook it. It
wasn't Intentional, [ assure you.n
The apology was accepted, 'tGood-
night exchanged, and both parties went
to sleep again.
1t was not long, however, before rum
bling sound was heard from the polite
genteman's bed, every moment growing
louder, until at last it ended in a thun-
derous diapason. The other lodger driv-
en- almost to madness, started up and ex-
ciaimed:
'sGood gracious This is too much! ]
can't stand it, 1 say, sir sir! sIR!!!
wake up sir %
'Bless my soul ! well, what's the mat
ter now" cried out the offender, starting
up in bed: you seem to be very restless,
sir,.''
''Restless! I believe youl" said the
disturbed gentleman; you've been sno-
ring, sir, worse than ever, and I cannot
get to sleep"
"You don't say so! have l been repeat
ing my rudeness to a stranger? am really
extremely sorry, my dear sir, but l was
really asleep. Good-nig ght-nigh
very sor-sor-sorry.n
And off he drowsed again, and in FIVE
minutes more began snoring as loudly as
ever, until he was again awakened by his
room mates complaints.
'Snoring again, have I, sir:" said the
unconscious offender. "Wcll, the fact is,
1 have had hard days journey and eaten
a hearty supper-and if 1 snore, sir, /
can't help it. | have apologized twice,
and that is sufficient. [ am about to go
to sleep again; but allow me to inform
you, sir, that if you wake me up again,
snoring or not snoring sir, 1 shall at once
proceed to get up, and give you the sound
est thrashing you ever had in the whole
course of your life! Goodnight, sir"
His slumbers were undisturbed for the
rest of that night.

persons died on the trip One passenger
who spent every day on deck, and kept
count of the bodies thrown over during the
aytime, and made inquiries as to the
bodies thrown over at night, sayshis count
was 207. Mr.. Lobenstein tells us that
the Surgeon said the deaths were 2lO.
An officer of the vessel said the deaths
we're over 200.
The Surgeon of the vessel stated that if
he had had plenty of blankets and plenty
of attendants he might have saved many
of those who died. There were forty sick
