TIE BILLS
Hear the messengers with bills
Yearly bills

Hear the messengers with bills
Yearly bills
How the world with worriment their annual com
ing hllsl
how they trouble, trouble, trouble,
Ev'ry poor unhappy wight
With accounts that more than double
All his assets, and, ike stubble,
Sweep his stamps clean out of sight
Calling timel timel tineI
In sort of horrid rhyme.
To the great exacerbation that continually fills
Thoughts of bills, bills, bills. bills,
Bills, bills, bills,
From the coming and the summing of the bills,
Hear the mantuamaker's bills
Fearful bills
How welded life with jars their exorbitancy fills
For the laees and the gimps,
With the items and accounts
In grim accord.
What damning Of amounts
To the turtle dove that smilingly recOunts
To her Lord
Oh, from all these puffs and friIls,
How awful is thesu that voluminously spills
Cents and mills
Howit fills
Ledger pagesl Like the rills
That make the rivers from the hills
Are the coming and the summing
OF the bills, bills, bills,
Of the bills, bills, bills, bills,
Bills, bills, bills,
Axe the adding and the making Of the bills.
Hear the corporation bills
Brazen bills
What tide or taxes every year the city iIlsl
In the startled ear of night
How men whisper their alright
Too much horTiaed to speak,
They can only shrek, shrek,
In the clamorous appealing to the alderman and
mayor,
In mad expostulation with the council deaf tc
prayer:
PiIing higher, higher, higher,
With desperte desire,
And resolute endeavor,
Now-now to squat or never
On the pocket Of taxpaying men.
o, the bills, bills; bills,
How the mind with fury fills
At them all
How they swell, and mount, and growl
What state Of things they show
In the business about the City HALL
Yet the city fully knows
By the jobbing
And the rObbing,
How the money comes and goes;
Yet the people clearly know
In the jsngling,
And the wrangling,
How the taxes overflow,
the shrinking and the swelling in the footing of
the bills
OF the bills
OF the bills, bills, bills, bills,
Bills, bills, bills
N the notice and the summons of the bills.

1t was our misfortune to be toe
late by few minutes, for the even
ing steamer from Montreal to Que
bee. This forced upon us the un-
welcome necessity of an all-night
railroad ride. The ladies Of oul
company, wearied with their jour
ney, and with hearts set on a return
homeWard via, Lake Champlain, the
Hudson and New York, had resolv-
ed not to prosecute further their
journey down the st. Lawrence.
Feeling that they were acting most
unwisely, we rather reluctantly left
them at Montreal, and in company
with Mr.. L., of Fremont, were soon
laundering through the tunnel Of
Victoria Bridge.
A nine minutes ride, through
this tubular iron bridge, at a toler-
able rate of speed, gave US for the
first time an adequate conception, of
the immensity of the structure.
Spanning, for nearly two miles, the
River St. Lawrence, from Montreal
Island to the Southern shore, it de-
servedly ranks away the wonders of
the modern world.
The Grand Trunk Road does not
follow the course of the St. Law
renee, but deviates from it far down
towards the northern boundary of
Maine. The universally prevailing
French, which greeted US at the nu-
merous stations which we passed,
before midnight, reminded us that
we were penetrating deeper and deep
er into the heart of New France.
By s o'clock in the morning we
were entering Point Levi, opposite
Quebec, just abreast the steamer
Quebec which had so uncermonious-
ly left us the evening before, at Mon
treal. The distance from Montreal
to Quebec, by the river, is $50 miles,
by rail much farther. The depot of
the Grand Trunk was in ashes, hav-
ing burned the previous evening A
Quebec fire company was playing
leisurely upon the smouldering ru-
ms. We were soon on board a
ferry boat, and anxious for our
transit across the river to the grand
old city of Quebec, grand in its i'm
|pregnable and frOwning location and
defences, grand in its historic mem
ories. There lay before us the rock
ribbed promontory, hoary with the
conflicts Of three centuries, just as
we had pictured it in our childhood
days. A little up the stream i:
VOLTS Cove, of which we will speak
hereafter. A little further down
but hidden from view by the lofty
bluffs, are the Plains of Abraham
while just before US, on the highes
point of the promontory, towering
$50 feet above the waters level
looms the Citadel, bristling defiant
ly from its imperial aerie with hun
dreds of cannons.

as the afflicted, to acknowledge the wonderful
cure you have made in my case. The lonl
continued sore throat and bronchitis was ;
source of great annoyance and alarm to me
for a number of years, but since you prescrib
cd for me feel no trouble there, and have n'
fear of return of the complaint. The dispo-
sition was strong to scrofula consumption;- :
that, think, entirely changed. My othe
difficulties are entirely cured. Ifpeople onl!
