A THRILLING SKETCH.-At q temper
ance meeting in Philadelphia, some years
ago, a learned Clergyman spoke in favor of
wine as drink, demonstrating it to his
own satisfaction to be scriptural, gentle
manly, and healthful. When the gen.
tleman sat down. plain, elderly man
arose. and asked the liberty of saving q
few words. Permission being granted,
he spoke as follows:
"A young friend of mine, said he, who
had long been incorporate, was prevailed
on, to the joy of his friends, to take the
pledge of entire abstinence from oil that
would intoxicate. He lept his pledge
faithfully for some time. though the strug-
gle with his appetite was fearful, till one
evening in a social party, wine was
handed around. They came to clergy
man present, who took glass, saying
few words in vindication of the practice.
Well,' thought the young man. if a
clergyman can take wine, and Justify it
so well, why not L g So he took a glass.
1t instantly rekindleI his fiery and slum-
bering appetite; and after rapid down.
ward course, he died of delirium tremens,
q raving madmann
The old man paused for utterance, and
was only able to add:
That young man was my only son,
and the clergyman was the Rev. DR.. who
has just addressed this assembly" :"

apples with the rosy cheeks, and soft
plum-liks skins. l' The father divided
them amongst his four children, and re-
tanned one for their mother. In the even.

70 The consumption of wine of all
descriptions in Great Britain and Ireland
is rapidly diminishing, In the year 1900,
it averaged ons gallon to every two in
habitants, and in 1853 one gallon to eve
~ four. There Are many spsculations -
to the cause of this change. The tempe
rance advocates say it has hssn produced
by the substitution Of tea and coffee, and
by a higher degree Of moral restraint.

CAST MARBLE.-It has long been a de-
sideratum in the adaption of fine art to
the refined wants Of daily life. as well as
for purposes of science, that works OF
sculpture should be capable of Icing pro.
duced at cheap rate. Manv processes
have been tried to render plaster solid
but none has hitherto proved in ev,1y
respect successful, the requisite drgr,e 4
transparency not having been obtained
DR. Emil Braun has at length succeeded,
we are told. in the production of ma
terial adapted to plastic purposes, which
affords the same sharpness Of outlines Gs
plaster of Paris, is scarcely inferior in
whlteness to the finest statuary marble,
and even surpasses it in impermeability
of surface, being perfectly impervious to
wet, and capable of resisting all incleu-
encieS OF weather. The inventor has al
ready exhibited several blsts and statues
of this composition, which have bsen
viewed by the sculptors and artists of
Rome, who are unanimous in their opln-
ion as to The beauty and value of the ma
ter1al, the fracture of which even pre-
sents crystalized structure. This ms
terial is as well adapted for the most
delicate objects as for works of colossal
size the former exhibiting the utmost
refinement of execution. whilst the latter
proves that it is capable of resisting any
degree of weight arising from the bulk
of the objects themselves. In this ma
terial fac-similes of the most beautiful
monuments Of ancient or modern times
architectural ornaments, &C.. m.v DC
Teproduced at price not greatly exceed
ing that of plaster casts. Thus noi only
houses and museums, bUl Also sardens
'a1 parks, and ali open conrt-yards or
Spac1s destined for decorative purposes,
may be adorned with the finest works of
sculpture which the world Affords
Builder.
