oept and example, life of sobriety and
| of total abstinence from all Intoxicating
drinks, whether In the shape of corn
whiskey or of inebriating Scuppernong
wine.
now ask the advocates of wine-making
in Eastern North Carolina this pointed
question Is it your object in making
wine to promote Temperance, sobriety and
religion, and to prevent drunkenness and
crime, or Is it your desire by this business
to enhance the value OF your lands and to
put money in your pockets ? When the
awful denunciation goes forth from God
Himself, wo unto him that putteth the
bottle to his neighbor's mouth, that
maketh him drunken that he may look
upon his nakedness, (get his money!,
wine makers and wine sellers should
pause in their course and ask themselves
if they are not encouraging this wo =?
In conclusion { appea! to an intelligent
public to determine who ls the greatest
benefactor Of his race the man who
teaches both by precept and example
life Of total abstinence from all Intoxicating
drinks, or the man who fills the land with
wine and brandy they are already making
from it, and thus laying the temptation to
drink at the door Of every man.

The GxbIe Against Wine.


MeSsrS. Editors:-In my las't communi-
cation promised to give YOUR readers
some of the teachings of the Bible upon
the subject OF wine-drinking, Soon after
the flood Noah planted a vineyard and
made qoine, and in modern ysarlance he
''got drunk" Oh his wine, ~'pure wine"
we may suppose, and the condition 1t
placed him in ''like that Of one of our
modern Judges Jay Bird Jcnes) vas very
| ridiculous, and the terrible c2lrses that fell
upon one of his sons in consequence there
Of should be solemn warning to vine
makers and wine-drlnkers in all time TO
come. In Proverbs 20. /, Solomon says
Vine is a mocker, strong drink IS raging
and whosoever is deceived thereby is not
wise.'
Again q, II, He that lovoth wine shall
not be rich" Again %, 80. ''Who hath
woe? Who hath sorrow? VINO hath con-
tentions =? Who hath bab',ling? Who
hath wounds without cause ? Who hath
redness of eyes They that tarry long at
the aoine. they that go to Sc ak mixed sciae
Look not thou upon the aC@ne when it Is
red, when it giveth his color in the cup,
when it moveth itself Alright: At the last
it biteth like serpent and stingeth like an
adder
Proverbs 81, 4, 1T is not for Kings 0
Lemuel, it is not for Kings to drink ecine,
nor for Princes strong drink"
Isaiah 5, II, ''Wo unto them that rise
up early in the morning that they may fol-
low strong drink, that continue until night
until acine infiane them"
In Hosea 3, l, the love Of ,0ine is classed
with the sin Of looking to strange Gods. -
! Habakkuk 2, 5, 'Yes also because he
transgresseth by aCiae he is O. proud man. y
In the New Testament, vine as a beverage,
is condemned and its use forbidden. In
Ephesians 5, IS, tbs Apostle exhorts his
| brethren not to De drunk en- with tciQG
wherein is excess.
Thus 1 have given Il few passages from
| the Bible to prove the sinful less OF wine
drinking as a beverage and to show liz
pernicious effects upon our race. The
fact that Paul advised Timosh to use {
little wine for his stomach s sake prove:
that Timothy was a temperate man ant
that he would not oven take wine as {
medicine without tAe advice and cOnsen
of the great Apostle. But in this cas-
Timothy was not ''encouragesl to drlnl
much wine, but little wine," aud tina
as medicine.
Now, Messrs. Editors. when I read tn
plain and pointed dee 'rarations OF God
word against the use of both wine ant
strong drinks when 1 read that ''wine
a mocker and strong GIrink is raging, ant
that whatsoever is dc ,ceived thereby is no
wise." feel that ii is my duty to beg m
fellow-men not to be deceived by thcs
who, for the sake OF money, would fill tin
land with sparklin g, tempting wine. Man.
, a poor drunken sot commenced his down
ward course to ruin by the fashionabl
use of wine And instead Of using on
, "best efforts to encourage the use o
Wines" as Chri stians and as lovers of GU
race, we should encourage, both by pre-

Hunters, fishermen, sailors (amateur and

md this scrap very useful. We quote from
.le Illustrated Times
For many years l have worn India rub
Der waterproof. but / will buy no more,
Tor l have learned that good Scottish
twceds can be made completely impervious

TO make it SO, and for the benefit of my
readers L will give the receipt: In a
bucket Of soft water put half pound OF
powdered alum; stir this at intervals until
It becomes clear; then pour it off into
another bucket, and put the garment
therein, and let it be in for twenty-four
hours, and then hang it up to dry without
Wringing it. Two of my party-a lady
and geptIeman-havew worn garments thus
teated in the widest storm Of wind and
rain, without getting wet. The rain hangs
upon the cloth in globules. In short they
are really waterproof. The gentleman q
fortnight ago walked nine miles in storm
q wind and rain such as you rarely see il
The South, and when he slipped off his
overcoat his underclotbes were as dry as
when be put them on. This is [ think 6
secret worth knowing, for cloth, if it car
re made to keep out wet, is in every way
better than what We know as waterproofs. u
