REMARKABLE TEMPERANCE

an REMARKABLE TEMPERANCE
LECTURE-Geothe tells the fol.
lowing story, which amusingly IL
Illustrates the capacity for drink of
of the RhinelaHderS:
"The Bishop of Mayennc once
delivered a sermon against drunk
euness, after painting in the
strongest cOlors the evils of over
indulgence, concluded as follows !:
But the abuse Of wine does not
exclude rs use, for it is written
that wine rejOices the heart of
man. Probably there is no one
in nay congregation who cannot
drink four bottles of wine without
feeling any disturbance of his
senses; but if any man at the
seventh OF eighth bottle so forgets
himself as to abuse and strike his
wife and children and treat his
best friends as enemies, let him
lock into his conscience, and in
future stop at the sixth bottle.
Yet if after drinking eight, or
even ten or twelve bottles, he can
still take his Christian neighbor
lovingly by the hand, and obey
the orders of his spiritual and
temporal superiors, let him thank
fully drink his modest draught.
He must be careful, however, as
to taking any more, for it is sell
dom that Providence gives any
one the special grace to drink
sixteen bottles at a sitting, as it has
enabled nae, its unworthy servant,

my duties or losing my temper.m

~ The first distillers of which

We have any knowledge, were the
Tsrtars and Arabs, who made use
Of simple household utensils and
material for the mandatory of
alcohol, in their kitchens and
camps. The apparatus used by
them, consisted of a boiler, with a
cover pasted on, and two or three
small pipes for conducting and
condensing the vapor or steam /;
thesteam was condensed by means
of wet bags applied to the pipes.
The material used for distillatiop
was the milk of goats, mares, or
camels and the alcohol or whisky
was used for medical purposes.
At a Later date in Europe, and
more particularly in Italy, it was
called aqua vitae or water of life,
and made from the pomice of APP
ples.and grapes, and sold for med
ical purposes-for the prevention
ofthe pest or plague. Being made
by Tassonia, an Italian, in the
fourteenth century, the art was
kept as a great secret.
Subsequently it was manufact-
ured by the druggists, and recon-
mended by physicians as a univer-
aal medicine, and became an ar
ticle of general use and sold at all
the public tayerns; and at this
time it is made from grain, molas-
ses, beets, potatoes, grapes, &C.,
and is considered a luxury; and
in most of the European countries
the governments derives a large
revenue from the tax levied upon
its ananufaetory.
