DRUNKENNESS IN EURoPE.--Rey. Theodore Par
ker, in one of his letters from Europe, published
in the Liberdtor says:
In Europe you many things which seem
strange to an American. Take the use of wine.
If am right, the Europeans consume about g.
500,000,000 gallons Of wine. In France, leave
out of account the pasture land which is not
plowed, and the forests, of the actual arabic
land, one tksrd is devoted TO the culture of the
grape Yet there are immense districts where
no wine can be raised at all. | see it stated
that the government returns make it appear that
the people OF France drink $50, Ooo 600 gallons
OF wine, and the calculation is that the amount
is not much less than ,O00, O00, 00ol Yet don't
believe, in the year 1859, there was SO much
drunkenness among the 39,000,000 people of
France as among the 100000 Yankees of New
England have been four months at Rome ;
there are wine shops everywhere am out of
doors from thu ee to six hours day, and have
never yet seen man drunk ; now and then one
is merry, never intoxicated The Romans, Ital-
Ians, French, &c, quite temperate they
drink their weak wine with water, and when
they take liquors, it is only little glassful at
time, (which does not make spoonful.)
don't believe there is bar in all Italy where
men step up and drink rum and water gin and
water, &c. Excessive drinking is not to the
taste of the people. In the North of Europe
and even in Switzerland, it is not so. The Eng
lish, with help from the Irish and Scotch drink
about 600 or 700, 900, 900 gallons of beer every
year, not TO speak of the wine, spirits, &C., they
take to wash it down withal. There is drunken
ness. So you find it in Scandinavia, in Holland,
and North Germany. How do you think the
Americans will settle the drink question? Ger
tainly not by taking merely to water, tea coffee,
&c. We shall have more beer, perhaps return
to the making of cider, and certainly plant vines
where they Will grow. Drunkenness is such
monstrous evil, would do almost anything to
get rid Of it. But | sometimes think we have
taken the wrong track. But am glad to see
the license law introduced to the New York
Legislature and think it will do more good than
our New England scheme of prohibition by
force"

The BLIND PHRENoLoGIsT OF ST. LOUIS
There is blind phrenologist in ST. Louis, who
is great on examining bumps. A wag or two
got one of the distinguished judges, who thinks
a great deal of himself and has a very bald
head, which he generally covers with wig, to
go to his rooms, the other day, and have his
head examined. Ways and judge arrived. "Mr.

examination head as is head we wish to
test your science" 'Very WE'LL" said the
phrenologist, "place the head under my hand"

cordingly taken of aud the bald head of the
highly expectant judge was placed under man

Oh who can estimate the worth
OF sunny eyed and dimpled with?
How desolate would be the earth
If it were not for laughter
OF all the cures by man possessed
To cheer the heart by grief oppressed,
There's none bath power, it is confessed,
That can compare to laughter.

Unless We nourish it, be sure
To have at hand an easy cure;
Ha ha! It's only laughter.

price of wheat at the present time in California,
and the figures at which it is quoted elsewhere
says the San Francisco Gail. In New York it
is worth from three to three and quarter cents
per pound, and in Australia three cents and
upwards whilst in oar market it rules from one
and half to one and three quarter cents per

attention to the export of cereals, and the means
necessary to render that export matter of per-

kIssING.-The edtress of the Weekly Herald,
Thomson, Georgia. INDUCES herself il the fol-
lowing provoking and tantalizing strain:
Well, we reckon some folks would really like
to know what we thought of. Let's see. In the
first place, we thought what absurd idea it
is in a man to. ask lady to kiss him, just as if
he, the senseless being, thought the poor trem-
bling little creature was going to do it, The
idea ola man asking for thing so easily OBJ
tainedL Why, iii ridiculous and a man with
theleast particle Of brains would boot at the
ideas- She'd say not, till doomsday And you,
poor believer, would forego the happiness of
drawing nectar from that rosebud mouth, simply
because you were ignoramus enough to ask for
what you might have taken. There are ten
thousand ways to kiss girl without asking the
pleasure Direct her attention to something on
the table; ask for a book you know to be there,
and while she is there, go with the affected pur-
pose of helping her to look for it; be particular
DO get at her left side-do you need any more
telling2 If you do, you do not deserve the kiss
that might be so gracefully taken. A man who
would ask a kiss from a fair maiden ought to be
tarred and feathered, as craven hearted mon
ster. Don't do it, don't for goodness sake ask
the girls to kiss you. Kiss them if you want to,
but do it like gentlemen. Kiss them if you can
