LET Us DRINK.
Tom Miller, gay and festive fellow,
Come, put aside your books and pen,
And we witt let our hearts grow mellow,
BY mlngling with out brother men.
We're dull as monks In tvIed Olsters;
We need wheIewIth our hearts to cheer;
Wen ind it in dozen oysters,
And in two mugs of sparkling beer.
John Taylor was famous brewer,
In Albany for years he dwelt,
And never nober man or truer,
Than he, before Gods Throne e'er knet.
You knew him, Tom. ald oft united
With those to whom his love dear,
Around the festal board, delighted
To quaH his generous foaming beer.
You know his sons, both Joe and William,
Two glorious men as ser drew breath,
And there was Ned-One IN O million!
But his bright eyes arc closed In death.
A truce, though Tom, to thoughts OF sorrow,
Grieyine DER friends doth nought avail;
What II the grave claims us tomorrow
To-day we'll drink our mug of ale.
And such ae TOO, my jolly fellow,
AS we'll would suit the gods to quaf;
Twill make the saddest hearts grow mellow,
And cause the gloomiest man to laugh.
Pye drank The wines Of many vine.land,
The prod not of both hill and dale,
But I'D exchange the best OF Rhineland
Too-ToNIC.
The bearded reuton round and burlv
NAV find the best Of fe.taI che r.
Whether the hour be late or carly
In countless mugs OF lager beer.
Hrs faxen-h haired and blue ey ed daughter,
May even DER my tastes prevail,
And-for her eyes do cruel slaugh' er-
Make me forego my favOrite ale.
But only for O little season.

EARLY MENTION OF BEER
The mention of beer or fermented liquor is,
in the common phrase, as old as the hills. Ii
the antiquity of les appearance on the historical
records of Old Earth has any recommendatory
qualifications, as is frequently the case with
other things, certainly its Importance will not
be considered far behind almost any other aru-
Gle of domestic use.
Tradition, falling in the remoteness OF the
earlier stages of its being to tix with certainty
the invention of beer on earth, takes refuge in
the regions of mythology, and accords Its first
creation IN the God Racchus Whether beer
owes its naterni1V to tne iolly Demon Bonus

WHO INVENTED BEER
Coming to what appeals more to our reason,
we lind that Herodotus whose writings are the
first eXtant OF Grecian historians, and who -four
ished In the close of the fifth century previous
to the Christian era, sets beer down as an Egyp-
ton Invention, and ascrlbes its discovery to
