A short Discourse on wine, and Divers other
Matters, delivered after Dianer.
That pure, light wine, taken in moderate quanti-
ties 18th dinner, is wholesome and beneficial, is the
expressed opinion of regularly bred physicians, as
well $ almost every man of experience. Always
drink your wine with your food, and when you have
done eating stop drinking. In this intolerably hot
weather, those who study health and consult good
taste, will eschew Madeira, Sherry, and Port, and
addict themse exclusively to Champagne, Hook,
or Claret Hard cider if not too hard, is a capital
beverage for cool weather, and may do well about
the time of the November elections, but, with the
thermometer at ninety, it won't answer at all. As

and promoter of digestion, but on this point we
know nothing The shocking stud that is sold ua-

water, Spanish brandy, aad New Ensland rum. In
this city and Brooklyn alone about two millions of
bushels Of grain are assuredly distilled into horrible
mess which is called whiskey. This stuff made into
rectiiei whiskey, and mixed up with the imported
spirits that sold for consumption both here and
in the country. The grain that is than wasted

So, too, with regard to wines. Great care should
be observed to get them direct from importer of

wines are mixed ap, and prepared in Europe for

constantly employed in the preparation Of wines for

Pure wines will destroy the taste for the burning
