THE WAY TO COLLECT 4 BILL.

MR. SMITH And TIE WIDOW.
by TOM JONES, ESQ.

Tile writer Of this sketch and his particular
friend, Mr. William Smith, once went IN the
steamboat Isabella, down the beautiful river on
which the (ar-famed city of Brookrille is sltua'
ted. Among the lady passengers, OF whom
number were on board one soon dazzled the
ewes of Mr.. Smith with the brilliancy OF her
beauty. She was tall and slender, was blessed
with pair of sparkling black eyes, long, thick,
smooth, glossy hair, and a rosy compassionate
together she was about as pretty 4 lady rs ever

And this is saying Il great deal, as Mr.. Jones
hattcrs himself that he is quite conlloSseur OF
pretty women. There is nothing i'll nature that
he likes 30 much to gaze upon. Yes: Others"
as lie, inspired by the beauty OF the scene that
law before him, observed to Mr.. Smith, as the!
were smoking and talking OH the deck; "yeS.

Mr.. Smith, .let;s go and take drink.
The lady who had attracted to herself the eye
of Mr.. Smith, was dressed in mourning, and had
with her little GOy-a Grlght-cycd, curly

lIlR FOREIGN DRINKS.

Among the tables spread before us by the
Secretary of the Treasury in his report, is one
of some volume and detail, telling how much
wine, spirits and malt liquor have been mpor-
ted into this country for series of years. We
have not room for the whole Of it, but We give
in compact shape the number of gallons, and
their value, imported during the year ending
June 30. 1856. It is rs follows:
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1857-04-22

Total. ,S43,3I0 $G,l76,939
This is snug little table for Brother Jona-
than to sit down to of winter evening. How
the glasses sparkle on the board, and how COM
Portable the old gentleman feels as he stretches
his legs under the mahogany, groaning with its
S,S43,37 gallons, while his purse is groaning at
the little bill Of over six millions of dollars,
charged against him by his foreign cousins for
the fluids they furnished to him. We begin to
fear that he is pretty hard drinker, for besides
all these wines, spirits and ales reported on his
Custom House books, he distils fearful guam
tity of AIonongahela and Bourbon, manufactures
dreadfully large supply Of "French Brandy"
brews beer ale and porter enough to fill every
day any quantity of great tunS OF Heidelburg,
and has lately taken to growing his own grapes
and making his own champagne and other wines,
so that he may soon be able to say that his
country is a well lquored as well as well wa
tered country.
From the statistics furnished by Mr.. Guthrie
it does not appear that our importation OF all
liquors is increasing. We get scarcely one
fourth as much Madeira wine as we used to;
but this is owing to the failure Of the wines i'll
Madeira The supply of Sicily wine is less
than it was ten years ago. The Port has fallen
off materially, and would appear still less II
none but the genuine article were reported.
The Claret is below the average Of the past
eight years. The other "Red Wines" as well
as the other White wines" are scarcely half
what they used to be. Brandy has fallen of
in quantity more than one-haf what it was in
1850, but it has cost us much more. The other
"Grain Spirits" are increasing, and so are the
English and Scotch malt liquors, notwithstand-
ing that We make such amazing quantities Of
lager beer, ale and porter, and notwithstanding
that our Il quors of this kind are often as good
and always far cheaper than the best We can
import. The great increase of liquors imported
is in Sherry wine, which has been steadily ad-
yancing, from 1865 gallons in 1873, up to
about 100000 gallons in 1856 1t is plain:
indeed, that in spite Of temperance societies,
liquor laws, and moral reforms Of aff kinds: we
are still e hard drinking people, and likely to
continue so. The only encouraging thing that
we see in Mr.. Gutlrie's figures is, that there
seems to be a growing taste for malt liquors
and light wines in preference to the pernclou$
spirits which we used to consume so lavishly.

CITY OF BROrHERHooDs.

A CITY OF BROTHERaUUDS.
In the silent midnight watches,
In the solemn hush Of night,
When the soul communes with spirits
From the upper world of light;
Then it was, awake or dreaming,
On the winds spirit came,
Like the sound of many waters,
And a voice that none can name.
"Mortal!' !' cried that spirit, breathing
Thrilling whispers to the air;
"Listen to the words of wisdom,
Look around thee, see and hear"
Then I heard tale of wonder,
Then saw bread domain,
Where the congregated thousands
Built city on the plain.
Twas vast, full-peopled city,
Far the miehtiest of the earth,
Daily growing, thousands,
ilatSOc CT IIlelT Hdlllc vi pii eH'
There the proud, the meek, the learned,
Rich and poor, and bond and free,
Young and old, in bonds fratcrnal,
Meet in perfect unity.
Quite dwclls within that city,
Strife and mammon enter not;
Calm it seemed as holy Sabbath,
Every dome holy spot.
None for love of lucre leave it,
None rebel against its laws;
Never yield they to the Tcmpter,
For the tempter gives no cause!
Streets and alleys intcrsecting,
Laid with gcomctric art,
Witnessed to the love Of order,
Doth of head and chastened heat.
Marble mansions shone by moonlight,
Every portal bore a name;
But no sound of voice or footstep
Thence from street or mansion came.
There stood, amazed and musing.
Whether sleeping or awake;
Wien to me metlought tile spirit
In .entler accent spakc;
Speaking in expressive silence,
Speaking to the soul i'll night;
"Mortal!" lift the eye, bc manful;
Out OF darkness comcth light.
