Burton Ale.

Burton Ale is famous wherever grog is
glorified. Burton, in England, is town,
or village, or city of breweries. An en-
thuslastic admirer of its particular in
dustry, in an eulogium on the business
OF the place, and on the article it sends
abroad at the rate of seventy-two mill
ions annually, tells the amazing fact
trough the columns of Every SATURDAY..
that Burton is maze of breweries. -
1t has three immense establishments.
those of Bass, Alsopp, and Old Brewery,
the Middle Brewery, and the New Brew
cry, besides numerous ones of lesser note
IN the language of our author, those of
Ind and Coope, Worthington, Salt,
Nunneley, Evershed, Robinson, and
others, quos nasrdre. longum est" The
writer further informs us that one of
these breweries occupies one hundred
acres OF ground, and uses each year.
thirty three thousand tons OF coal, sixty
sl1 thousand seven hundred and fifty
acres of barley, and two thousand acres
OF hops. On this basis of calculation
we arrive at the conclusion, that not less
than one hundred and fifty thousand
acres of grain, and ten thousand acres
of hops, are annually devoted to beer
making in single town of one of the
nations of the earth. And in summing
up the incalculable advantages to man
klnd OF this brewing business, the writer,
IN an ecstacy of delight, as though he
had himself just imbided to his full, says
that, BASS alone could have served
| more than one half of the estimated
number of the human race with glass
OF beer per head from his brewing of
| one year. From .Se,ence of Health.

Yet SO near they seemed to come,

Familiar faces smile

Hand grasping hand, as heretofore,
No shade of difference knowing,
