great consumption Of slaves and hoops. Then
he observes that logwood and cider are ussd

So nice is the skill Of this little colony Of
ingenious wine merchants. so accurate is their
palate, that they can with Chinese precision
initiate the flavor and copy the color of the
required fluid however rare or choice the or
iginal sample may be and place it in the very
form Of bottle in which the genuine wine IS
ordinarily met with. Even the most expert.
enced judges are not unfroquently imposed
upon. From long practice the taste and re-
quirement Of each different market is known
and the manufacturer as he displays his va
red stores, knows at once the precise flavor
that will suit his customers palate. Little
of these fictitious wines find their way into
the interior of France they are mostly dis
patched TO distant markets"

TRuE.-Judge Pratt in sentencing the four
young burglars yesterday, uttered a truth
that parents would do well to ponder on long
and often. He said substantially that parents
who brought their children up without trades
or employment Of some kind, were bringing
them up to crime and its consequences. This
fact holds equally good with reference to the
rich as to the poor. Idlencss is the great
cause to which we may attribute the occu-
pancy Of jails and prisons Reflect on it,
parents. and though YOU be rich. put not
money in Toms and Dicks pockets to be ex.
pended in bad gin, billiards, fast horses. &c.
but rather bind them out to trades. or place
them where they will have something to do
and be earning a living. You will thereby
probably save yourselves disgrace, and pro-
mote the welfare Of your children. Reflect -

them to be a superior remedy for colds coughs,

testimony to their excelency, as our readers
