brandy. The basis of the Madeira was a decoction of hops. with sulphurlc acid, honey, spirits of Jamaica rum, &c. Presi- dent Mott, in his published lectures, in re- lation to this subject, speaks of the exami- nation, by his assignee, of the papers of house which had suspended payment, re- sulting in lLe discovery that many hundred barrels of cider had been purchased during the previous year, but none of wine yet nothing but wine had been sold. Many other similar facts are recounted, and ex- tensive quotations made from foreign pe- rodicals, and other authorities, showing that adulteration is practlsed in both Eng land and France, to an extent not readily credited"
 A beautiful state of affairs, truly, and a nice state of health in prospect for lmhl- bers of cheap brandy! Think a minute, ye who complain of nervousness, of neu- raIgia-ye young men, who see visions and dream dreams; and when you next are merry around the sky-roclet and rifle brands, let one of your number sing, in full cups, the following, from the .Autocrat : 6 Come! fill fresh bumper, for why should
 we go,
 While the Iogwood still reddens our cups as
 they flow?
 Pour out the decoction still bright with the
 sun,
 Till o'er the brimm'd crystal the dye-stuff
 shall run. '' The half-ripen'd apples their life-dews have
 bled:
 How sweet is the taste of the sugar of lead For summers rank poison lies hid in the
 WINES |!
 That were garner'd by stable-boys smoking
 long -ninese < Then scowl, and howl, and scof, and a
 sheer,
 For strychnine and whisky, and ratsbane and
 beer!
 In cellar, in pantry, in attic, in hall- Down, down with the tyrant that masters us
 all!"
 There is "more truth than poetry" in these verses. Every year makes them truer and truer. There have been sneers at those whose poverty, though not their will, consented 10 make them " drink beer and sing of wine j" but what shall we say of those who sing of wine and drink RArsBANE -Phuadelphia Bulletin.

at most, two mugs of brown earlhenware formed all the drinking apparatus in a house. Rich gentlemen wore clothes ot unlined leather. Ordinary persons scarce
 y ever touched flesh meat. Innoble man sions little corn seemed wealth.
 This is history. Any one of our neigh bors, if compelled now to live as the highest and wealthiest of mankind lived in those days, such neighbor would ex- cite our sympathies. We would consider him as good as starving; would carry in gifts to supply his wants, and start sub scription among our friends to feed and clo,he him.
 A few hundred years ago and all the wealth of a nation could not buy q loaf of bread, such as you will see on any farmers table at the present time. The fine flour could not be made. The table of our far mer is much more princely in its furnish
 ing than was the table of monarch then We have now in common use several spe- cies of most delicious fruits then unknown We raise several kinds of grain not then
 in use. The very word corn, then appll- ed to wheat and barley, is now applied to a grain then undiscovered. Men then lived on a few vegetables with flesh on ex- traordinary occasions; and at their great est feasts their chief viands were flesh and wine. Their crops, as we'll as in the palmiest ancient times, rarely yielded over ten or twenty fold. Now hundred fold is considered a very small return. Then, as in the ancient world they gathered the harvest by pulling off the heads, pulling up the stalks, or by almost as slow pro- cess of reaping with the sickle. Compare these methods with the great reaper now in use, that sweeps over acres in an hour and leaves the glorious harvest on the fields of farm in a day. Thus formerly the patient OK slowly tramped out the grain, week after week; and the winds of heav- en and the fan in the hands of the laborer slowly ana imperfectly separated the ker- nel from the chaf and straw. Now, the mighty thresher, with tumutuous whirI, takes into it's crushing teeth thousands of sheaves in day, and scattering the emp tied heads and straw and chaff in rich streams, the separated golden grain runs out upon the ravished sight, all ready for the marts of trade-for food for man and fowl and beasts, and for the hopper and the stone, swiftly driven by the vast and ponderous wheel From it's mighty pouch comes out flour, white as the driven snow, which makes the kneaded bread better than the fabIed ambrosa of the gods.

VIOLENT POISONS.

From time to time, there is revival Of the opposition to strychnine rum and asaaaa a-poiu brandy; and the opponents of poi son make desperate rush, first in one newspaper, then in another, at the red and inAalnng enemy. The mildest form of attack is certainly that in which fault is found with groggery-keepers for putting water in their liquors. One of the hard est anecdotes at present afloat of this rum, which is so weak that 1t freezes rather more easily than anything else known, IS thus told by Cincinnati journal:
 Out in Vermont, during the cold cycle, an invalid procured junk bottle of new rum" from an agent carried 1t home, tied string round the nozzle, and hung, 1t up near the stove, to keep 1t "saie.' In the morning he found the bottle on the floor, and on looking up, saw the frozen rum still hanging by the neck.
 If lbis were only the worst which could be said of low groggery rum, there would be little complaint. But the fact is noto- rious, and capable of proof, by every old doctor and every chemist, that the effect of using intoxicating liquors now is much more fatal than it was thirty years ago.
 A pamphlet by E. c. Delavan, recently published, on this subject, contains many really terrible facts. Within year or two, the selling of recipes for making liquors has become heavy business; five dollars teaching the art of making almost anything-brandy, gin, or wines-irom common whisky. There IS an extensive manufactory of cheap Madeira in New York, where 1t is made s' by extracting the oils from common whisky, and passing it through carbon" Immense establishments are devoted to this business Prof. C. Il. Lee of New York, says:
 "The trade in empty wine-casks, in this city, with the custom house mark and cer- ti6cates, is immense; the same casks being replenished again and again, and always accompanied hy that infallble test of genuineness, the custom-house certlh- cate. There is also in this neighborhood l 1t is stated, an extensive manutactory ot wne-casks, which are made so closely to initiate the foreign, as to deceive expe- rienced dealers"
 Every year sees the business of adulte- ration increase, and according to late number of Chambers's .Magaztne. 1t in- creases also in France, in the very vine- yards themselves. The following extract from an article in the New York Journal of Commerce, shows also that people can not be too careful in buying their liquor, and how utterly unreliable all cheap and second-rate wines are:
 "Hiram Cox. M. D., of Cincinnati, is quoted as having analysed, in that city sixteen lots of wine, of different varieties which did not contain one drop of the juice of the grape. The basis of the Port wine for example, was diluted sulphuric acid colored with elder-berry juice, with alum sugar, and neutral spirits. The basis o the Sherry wine was sort of pale malt sulphuric acid. from the bitter almond oil with a per centage of alcoholic spiritsfrom

A SERMON OF THE TIMES.

GIN HARD TIMES REFERENCE WISELY"
 The subject may be treated negatively and positively.
 l. Nsgatiueiy. Under the necessity of doing something, men often do first that which they should do last, or not do it at all. It is well, then, to consider wherein family should not retrench.
 l. They should not withhold the minis ter's stipend. It is so small already as hardly to make him comfortable. It will not bear curtailment.
 3. Do not diminish your benevolent con trbutions. These have always been too low. Missionaries and students for the ministry have been always kept so near to the lowest point of decent subsistence, that farther reduction should not be thought of.
 3. Do not withhold from the poor. In their case the Lord Is borrower, and he will repay
 4. Do not stop your home journal. It costs but a trihe, and it repays many fold. If you stop it, you stopa source of joy and edification to all the household. You will get behind the times. Knowledge will decline. A stimuIant to activity will be removed. A means of mental growth will be distracted. Intellectual, social, and spiritual edifcation will be sadly i'm peded.
 Then hold on to your paper, help the poor, contribute to Christ's cause, and sus- tain your minister to the last.
 H. PoSitiueiy. Retrenchment is to be made. God calls for 1t in his providence. He makes it a necessity.
 l. Cease to spread your luxurious table. Your body and mind, as we'll as your purse, will be benefited by this curtail- ment.
 9 Give up expensive dress, and repair the old garments. This will be so much clear saving, without diminishing one comfort.
 8. Cease from liquor and tobacco. This will require great self-denal; but 1t will be an immense beneft-physic mor- ally, spiritually-in your family, and to your pocket. If you shall succeed efec- tually in this, you will live to bless the i" hard times" which induced the reforma- tion.
 4. Buy no more trashy literature. Tc the waste of money, it adds loss of time polutes the imagination, defiles the moral nature, wastes or chills the benevolent affections, disquahfes for life's higher | joys, and incurs, in the end, fearful respon' i abilities
 ADDENDuM. Be industrious = father mother, sons, daughters-all industrious in something that will pay, even though i be on scale which is very small. This will not only relieve from the pressure but it will tend to good habit, leading tc competence and wealth.
 The hard times may be so met, and re. trenchments so made, as that not one req joy shall be diminished; and so as tha many most important benefits shall result
 Whoso is wise, let him consider these things. Presbyterian Banner.

 Where sunny Summer filings Her rosy arms around the earth,
 And brightest blessings brings :; Health was her sole inheritance, And grace her only dover 1 never dreamed the wild wood
 Contained so sweet flower. Far distant from the city,
 And inland from the sea, My lassie bloomed in goodness, As pure as pure could be; She caught her dewy freshness
 From hill and mountain bower, never dreamed the wild wood Contained so sweet a flower. The rainbow must have lent her Some of it's airy grace The wild rose parted with blush, That nestled on her face The sunbeams got entangled in The long waves of her hair, Or she had never grown to be
 So modest and so fair. The early birds have taught her Their joyous matin song, And some of their soft innocence She's been with them so long And for her now, if need be,

UsuRY LAws.-At the monthly meet ing of the New York Board of Cur rency, held recently, the following resolu- tions relating to the Usury Laws were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, The experience of the whole commercial world has proved the impor- tance and utility of Usury laws, and as the principal commercial centres with which New York is now in daily correspondence have abolished such laws, and thereby ex- posed this city to disastrous drain oi cap ital, whenever from war or the exigencles of commerce there may be demand for capital in Europe or elsewhere, and as the present unsettled state of Europe, with war impending, requires large loans ny its governments, thereby enhancing the rate of interest, will cause the withdrawal of capital from this country, as was the case during the late war in the Crlmea; we, therefore, respectfully urge upon the Legislature of this State, now in session, the necessity of their immediate acton, for the protection of the interests ot the United States; and we do, therefore,
 Resovled, That the Legislature of this State be respectfully and earnestly reques- ted to abolish the Usury Laws, by releas- ing commercial transactions from the re- straints of these laws, by granting the right to the public to regulate their mon etary affairs upon principles of entire iree- dom as regards the rate of interest TOT the use of capital.
 Resoved, That the Legislature Of the State of New York be, and they afe here by earnestly requested to repeal the usury Laws. or at least so far as they may ap- plvto this city, and thus place our com mercial emporium upon an equality with those of nearly all the civilized world as regards the uniform and uninlerrup'ea supply of capital.
