* Another glass of beer—’twas forthcom
ing, immeokildy, also another, all of wl.i’h
>1 drank; 1 then proceeded to drink a glass
Aof J,-eer; ".ent over to the States, where I
‘procured a glass of beer, —went up stairs,
dor which 1 paid a sixpence; over to Goat
Island, for which I dispersed twenty-five
tcenis; hired a guide, to whom I paid a
‘half a dollar, sneezed four times, at nine
cents a sneeze—went up on the tower for
a quarter of a dollar, and looked at the
Falls —didn't feel sublime any; tried t<,
but could’nt; took some beer, and tried
again, but fuiled-—drank a glass of beer and
Lvgan to feel better—thought the place
below was one sea of beer—was going to
jump down and get some; guide held me;
sent him over to the hotel to get a glass of
’■beer, while 1 tried to write some poetry —
result as follows:
> Oh thou (spray inoneeye) awful, (small
lobster in one shoe) sublime, (both feet
wet) master-piece of the Almighty! tcrii
ble and majestic art thou in thy tremon
:dous might—awful to behold, (cramp in
‘my right shoulder) gigantic, huge and nice!
■Oh, thou that tumblest down and riseth
up again in misty majesty to heaven —thou
glorious parent of a thousand rainbows—
what ft Luge, grand, awful, terrible, tremen
dous, infinite old swindling humbug you
are; what are you doing there, you rapids
* you -you know you have tumbled over
slftlre, and can’t get up again to save your
puny existence; you make a great fuss,
don’t you ?
Man came back with the beer, drank it
to the last drop, and wished there had been
: a gallon more—walked out on a rock to
the edge of a fall, woman on the shore very
much frightened; I told her not to get ex
cited if I fell over, as 1 would step r ight up
•again—it w ould not be much of a fall any
how —got a glass of beer of a man, anoth
er of a woman, and another of a small boy;
fifteen minutes elapsed, when I purchased
some more of an Indian woman, and im
bibed it through a straw; it wasn’t good—
had to get a glass of beer to take the
taste out of my mouth; legs began to tan
gle up, effects of the spray in my eyes, got
hungry and wanted something to eat—
went into an eating house, called for a plate
bf beans, and some beef, when the plate
brought the water in his hand.
