In speaking of this industry in The For- 

 ester, Mr. N. Williams says: "By over- 

 refining, the sap loses more and more of 

 the uncrystallizable elements, and with 

 them that peculiar tang which is so pleas- 

 ant to Northern palates — the racy flavor of 

 a product drawn as water from under the 



granite rocks and steeple-bush and roots 

 of sweet fern by the vegetable cunning of 

 the sugar tree. The taste gives a pleas- 

 ure akin to that of using spontaneous 

 bounties like meadow mushrooms or wild 

 native fruit; like breathing the air of 

 mountain summits and drinking at the 

 head waters of rivers."

 drowned by the rattle of the dice. 



"Well, that's one horse on me," said 

 Caesar. 



"Then I win," observed Brutus, pocket- 

 ing his dice. 



"How's that?" 



"It's twice you've been stuck." 



"I rather opine it Styx 'em both," ob- 

 served Charon, as he unshipped his oars. —
