Women and the War.

Wars and revolutions bear great likeness to
each other The young ladies in various semina-
ries and schools in Maine and Massachusetts, have
led off in reputation of British dry goods, as
their revolutionary great grandmothers did al
most ninety years ago. At Chelsea, in Massa-
chusetts, all the teachers and pupils in one school
have entered into this patriotic compact, and
pledged themselves to observe it faithfully and to
do all they can everywhere to propagate the feel
ing. Should such policy be generally adopted
by the women in respect to everything that we
can produce, it would go far to insure our com
plete manufacturing independence of Great Brit
ain, and touch John Bull in his most sensitive
spot the pocket nerve, while it would afford him
no sort of excuse for pitching into US in warke
fashion. He is not a tenth part so strong in nat
ural resources as Jonathan, and we have but to
let his wares severely alone to make this surly
fellow as umble as Uriah Heep. Thirty per
cent of his whole exports have for number Of
years come to this country. Nor will our patr;-
otic women be required to impair charms by dis
carding British fabrics, for in color, texture and
style, many descriptions Of American dry goods
are at the very top of the worlds market. Pat
rotsm, economy and desire to please the young
men, concur in making this movement "take"
among our young women If the ladies Of the
North would make it fashionable to dispense with.
Eng ish goods, and use in their place American
manufactures, they could do more to humble the
menacing roar of the British lion than dozen
line Ct battle ships. The women Of tie North
could by the mere caprice--or rather patriotic
and sensible resolution-of fashion, cost England
trade worth at least ten millions of dollars
year, and benefit our country just that amount

Fictitious Wines.

Even In wine growing countries no mar can
be sure that there is any grave juice in what he
drinks under the name of wine. Here the prob
abilities are all against the genuineness of every
thing called wine. An English paper speaking
of the manufacture and adulteration of the wines
of France says:
All is false in the wines-the color the flavor,
the strength, the age, even the name under which
they are sold. There are wines which do not
contain drop of grape juice Even science is
mpotent to distinguish the true from the false, so
complete is the imitation. You may every day
see advertised in the French newspapers the
"Seve de Medoc," of which small hacon, costing
three francs, is declared sufficient to give flavor
10 600 litres Paris and Cette are the principal
seat of this fraudulent adulteraton. 1t is prac-
ticed in both places on the most colossal SCALE
Certainly half the Partisan population drink, un-
der the name of wine, mixture in which there
is not drop of grape juice. The police are not
able to prevent the adulteration, but the laws
punish it with great severity. Every week do
the newspapers publish judgments against wine
merchants and grocers, in execution of which
their wines, twenty, thirty, eighty hogsheads at
once are poured into the cutters But this dis
honest art is now SO perfect that even clever
chemists can with difficulty distinguish the true
wine from the false. The chemist, after report
ing all the ingredients of which the wine was
composed, observed that if one of them were in
less quantity, he would have been unable to dis
tingush it from a natural wine-such was the case
in a very recent trial. The prosecuted merchant,
who was present, listened attentively to the re-
port, and at last asked him which ingredient it
was. The chemist very imprudenty told him,
and the accused Immediately answered, al am
very much obliged, sir, and l don't regret now
my forty hogsheads of wine which will be des-
troyed because now am certain OF my business

For Mothers Sake.

A father and son were fishing near New York
city few weeks since. The boat suddenly cap
sized, and they were both thrown into the water.
Tie father, who was an expert swimmer, while
his son could not swim at ALL at once commenced
to aid the lad he, seeing that his father was be-
coming exhausted, calmly said to him, "Never
mind me ; save yourself for mothers sake" God
bless that boy, and God be thanked that both the
father and himself were rescued from the peril in
which they were involved.
For mothers sake" There spoke true son
and true hero. He knew that his tender years
lily fitted him to support and sustain her who
bore him-that if his father perished she might
be reduced to want as We Il as stepped in sorrow
that if the oak fell the ivy would fade and die
So he bid his soul to be quiet amid the troubled
waters, amid the excitement and apprehension
such a scene might engender, and resolved to die
for his mother, unless indeed, some hand was
stretched forth for his safety and the safety of his
father 1t was all right because it was done "for
mothers sake"
Would we say the same thing under the same
circumstances? Would you, boyP you, young
man you, man of years and sorrow? While
you admire the young hero for his intrepidity and
affection, do you feel that you would initiate his
example if occasion offered Do you love, do
you prize your motherP He who propounds
these is motherless. Years twain have passed
since the wrinkled, gray-hared matron, who
called him son, laid off the dusty vestments of
earthly travel, and was clothed in the garments
of the saints He tells you-and his words are
wrung from suffering experience, that if you love
not your mother now, you will hereafter. Death
opens the fountain of surviving hearts, and loss
shows how little we esteem possession.
1t is well to hold up an example like the one
we have quoted to the public gaze, for by so do
ing some hard heart may be softened, some vas
cillating heart confirmed. some warm heart made
warmer. A man is safe who inscrbes this motto
upon his phylactery-"for mothers sake"

JOE Is DEAD.'-An eastern correspondent
relates the following touching incident in an ac-
count of the Merrimac's exploits in James river:
Did l tell you of the manner in which veteran
Com. Smith received the news, during the pro-
gress of the fight that the flag of the Congress,
commended by his gallant son, lad been struck
20 the enemy. The commodore is a man of few
words, but full Of kindly feeling and fatherly af-
fection. When told that his sons vessel had
hauled down her flag, the old man brushed aside
the manly tears that rolled down the burrows of
his time and service-worn cheek, quickly respond
ed, "Joe's deaGl What world of fathery con-
fdence ard affection was expressed in this simple
homespun phrase The old weather-worn sal
lor knew his son, aud judged rightly that his fl 6
never trailed to the traitor foe while he lived to
uphold it. Too true was the old man eloquent
tribute, for his boy lay lileess upon the deck, be-
fore the flag committed to his charge was lowered
in token OF surrender.
