Oh the ale, the beautiful ale,
Brown and strong, heavy and pale;
Filling the brewers carts in the street.
Filling. our stomachs whenever we eat.
Pouring,
Lushing down
It makes you tingle from head to crown;
And then it fushes with red your cheek,
Or clings to your lips in a frolicksome peak.
Beautiful ale from the brewers above,
Swallowed by many, as will prove.
oh the ale, the beautiful ale
How the folks stagger. and each other hail!
Dancing about in their drunken fun
They want to lark with every one.
Chasing,
Hurrying by.
It reddens the face, and it crimsons your eye,
And even the dogs, with a bark and a bound,
Get out Of the way when you are around.
The town is alive-and so on with the tale
To tell of the doings of Beautiful Ale!"
How the gay drinkers go surging along,
Hailing each other with humor and song;
How those who are fuddled go stumbling by
Many, alas! with black eye;
Casting up their accounts so pale, :,
All from the effects of Beautiful Ale"
Ale so pure when it greets the eye
To be guzzled so much by the crowds rushing
by,
To be drunk so steadily that you lose your
feet,
Till you fall in the filth of the horrible street.
Once drank nearly barrel of ale-and fell !
Fell! where? well never mind-l dare not
tell
Fell, and was spurned as the dirt in the street
beat"
SneeZing,
Hiccuping,
Ever so high
Selling my clothes-just for ale to buy
Or TO dip in its foam my daily bread,
Until had nothing else in my head.
Goodness gracious! my lips turn pale
When think how I've drank of this " Beau
tiful Ale"
Once was pale-as this beautiful ale
With an eye and cheek as if famed by gale,
Walking on paYements with elegant grace.
And looking in windows as passed at my face.
Father,
Cut me directly they hear of my fall;
And even the beggars that go shivering. BY
Turn up their noses ana cry MY Eye.
For all that is in meas sure as nail,
There's nothing but several pints of ale.
VI.
How strange i should be. that this =" Beauti-
full Ale"
Should make us so sick, and have such
large sale;
How strange Il should be. when the night
comes again,
That we go on precisely a similar train"
Drinking
With others,
Or perhaps alone,
Too far gone for prayiDg-but only moan
Can be heard escaping from the mouth in our
crown.
All owing to pouring this pale ale down.
And so here endeth this terrible tale.

The faatgre of the season is the polo
naise, which is made in all sorts Of nate
rials to complete every variety of cos
tune. ] have mentioned this in prece-
ding letters as likely TO be exceedingly
popular, and the event justifies the pre-
dictio9. They are properly and most
usefnlly made in linen, the length Of
short dress, and are l0oped up at the
side over the skirt so as 10 display 1t.
The s..:;;.t may be of any color or mate
rial. but it is generally of black silk, and
the sash worn with it is a wide black gros
grain ribbon striped in Roman colors.
when the Polenaise IS worn for travel
ing It is LET down its whole length and
then covers the skirt or dress.
The polonaise is often made in silk,
satin and niuslins, richly trimmed and
worn over a trained skirt Of very differ
ent material, or a contrasting color
The sash is always of wide ribbon,
fringed upon the ends, and richly en-
broidered in cOl0rs.
The polonaise will be very fashionable
in cashmere, for fall wear, and, together
with rich silk skirts, will constitute most
distinguished walking costumes. French
ladies wear cashmere much more than
we do, but the fashionable tendency to
ineness and softness Of material seems
likely to develop among us a more just
appreciation Of this exquisite fabric.

.grcgate debt of $4,000, 900. most of
which is due to the characterless adven-
tures who have had possession of the
Southern State Governments since the
close of the war The Democrats now
coming into power in those States are
called upon to assume the liquidation Of
these heavy burdens, while the creatures
who have made them, like birds Of prey
