lofty spirit ofpairoism which has made it ncces-

in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were dy-

Already the largest literary journal in the world,

magnificent beyond all precedent. The most eele-

THE LAGER BEER.

THE LAGER BEER.
Come lads fill up, each and cup,
To our homes and sweethearts dear,
Tho the Dons may think Champagne the drink,
Give the soldier his glass of Beer;
For pull at the foaming Beer,
Will warm, and rouse, and cheer,
But rum and small swipes, will give you the
gripes,
So here's to the Lager Beer.
As you lie in camp, all dirt and damp,
With ut least one flea in your ear
Shake it out at the sound, ofthe boy his round,
With the ration of rousing Beer;
For he drains it cool and clear,
From the keg laid up last year,
And the brandy may rot, and the gin go to pot,
While toss off the Lager Beer.
On the dark lone post, when the sleet and frost,
Pierce the sentry through like a spear,
How his blood leaps warm, to hear through the
The relef-then-h tent and his Beer;
The canteen's light CLEANS drear,
On his bayonet cold and clear
But that sparkle an foam seems smile from home,
AS he laughs DER his Lager Beer.
When we charge in ranks on the reeling aanks
OF the rebels who hate and jeer,
They'd strip their old clothes to their barefoot toes
For quaf of our heartsome Beer;
And when flying in rout and fear,
As our line of steel draws near,
The generous brave, shall the wounded save,
Cheer the faint with Lager Beer.
Like a whirlwind gust well trail in the dust
Treason's flag, with Union cheer;
Well riddle it we'll. with minnie shot and shell,
Then use ito wipe up our Beer;
In our van, 10 the STARS appear,
Bright lights of our country dear,
God for banner forward !-hosannah,
For traitors-a funeral Bier
When the victorys won, when the is done,
And Peace smiles through her passing tear,
The homestead hearth, shall shine with mirth,
As we pass round the cake and Beer;
Then the sweetheart loving and dear,
Shall sit on our knee to hear,
And shall kiss each-cup,-as she fills it up
With the home brcwed Lager Beer.

Thankfulness is the Incentive to Gratitude.

express his most sincere gratitude to DR., l.. j.
Czapkay for the permanent recovery of his health
Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the vicious practices of uncomfortable passion
in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most triling duty imposed by the
daily avocaions of life, sought the advice of
ny physicians. who at first regarded my disease as
of trifiing Importance but alas. after few weeks,
and in several stances months Of their treatment
found to nv unutterable horror, that instead of
relief my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture and being told oy one that my dis
case being principally confined to the brain, medi-
cine would be of little consequence, despaired of
ever reyaining my health strength and energy and
as a last resort and with but faint hope, called
upon Dr. Csapkay, who, after examining my case,
prescribed some medicine, which almost instantly
relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness In my
head Encouraged by the result, l resolved to
place myself under his care, and by strict obedi-
ence To all his instructions and advice, my head be-
clear, my ideas collected the constant pam IN
