Not long since we were presented with
q bottle of wine by our noble and worthy
fcllow-citizen, John %Burrough, who had
Just returned from q visit to his relatives
at Cape J%erardcau, Mo. TO show with
what unparalleled and praiseworthy firm
tie of Adams blood is in us. or Noah's BIZ
bacious spirit-whichever you ~pleasc-we
would state that for two or three weeks
the aforesaid bottle of wine remained up
on our sidc-bolrd, rejecting itself in a
mirror opposite, and fascinating oureycs at
every meal. Yet, sirs, we never opened 1t.
although splendid cork-scrcw was near

that wine sparkled before us, in a hand
some, champagne shaped bottle, and we
were happy IN the thought that it was des-

together. Oh! what happiness there is in
anticipation! But some one has said there
is more happiness in the anticipation Of

by the souls OF Anacreon and Tom Moore,
the assertion is false! We could stand the
temptation no longer, and the cork was
drawn. And we drank-drank tirsttO the
health of John Burrough, and then we
crank the health of the man that made
the wine. And to the grape, and to our
absent friends, and to all mankind
to the Winchester Silver Cornet Band,
and then wound up by drinking a
double health to John Burrough again, ty
which time the wine had gone the way of
all things earthly, but in our heart was a
glow too cxquisitcly gladdcning to be eX-
pressed. We forgot our griels, forgot that
