a travelling Italian, who had made money
enough out of the aforesaid monkey and
hand organ to enable him to spend the rem 4ind-

his native country. The monkey was great
faVorte indeed with nearly human intelligence.
As he saw the coach stop, and the customary
rush for the old-fashioned high bar, he un-

his master was out He catches the stone
pitcher from the shelf, and going down cellar,
proceeded 10 draw the beer ia the manner he
had often seen Tom do it. There was wood

pitcher, and on his essayng to put back the
spgot his fingers were too numb, and he could
not replace it in the hole, the beer all the while

THE DOCTORS SONG.


Let them sing of the wine


On the hills of the Rhine


Or the banks Of the Guadalquiver.


With the shining bright


And the stars twinkling light,


Now warming, now chilling the river


But give the drink


That makes the heart clink


With music, and every thought swelling


The brmming barley brew


That warns the heart through


In Lairls and the COtters dwelling.


Then here's to Major


Drink it down!


Here's to Major B


Drink it down!


Here's to Major B!


May he always live with gleet


While very happy, We


Drink it down drink it down, drink it down


Let them sing of the bliss,


The wine-Cup to kiss,


In these lands of the hook. port, and sherry,


much rather sip


The dew from lip,


That's DOutng and red a cherry
While the laughing talking eye
Surely says to you and /,


Nows the time, never wait till tomorrow,


Let US love while we may
