A SIGNIFICANT FAcr.--Notwithstan
that million of soldiers belonging to the
French and Prussian armies have been tramp
ling down and laying waste the magnificent
vineyards in the great champagne district
around Rheims, Epernay, etc, the price of
the wine has not been affected in the least in
this country. So extensive and destructive
have been the military operations in the de-
partment Of which Rheims is the most i'm
portant city, that the vintage this year is al
most total loss and the wine factors have,
to a great extent, had their stock Of wines
destroyed. Any one would suppose this
would produce panic among dealers and
consumers Of the eifervescng wines, but such
is not the case. The truth is, in the manu-.
lacture Of the beverages now sold as wine,
the juice Of the grape is of no account. A
large part Of that which is sold in this coun-
try is made from cheaper and more gross ma
terials, and we suppose that if the vintage
should utterly fail abroad for twenty consec-
utiye years, the supply of Ciae would not in
the least diminish. Some time ago, when the
terrible oldum destroyed the vine in Madeira
for several years, and not cask Of wine was
made upon the island, the supply of genuine
MADEIRA was never greater or the price cheap.
er. Wine-drinkers may take encouragement
from these facts,

Only One Child.

1t is harder to bring up one child well than
six. In large family the children help to
bring up one another 1t is not merely that
the elder ones assist in taking care of the
younger but they all influence one another
prodtably in other ways vanity is sometimes
laughed into modesty, and arrogance is snub-
bed into humility. Each child is kept con-
stantly in mind that others have rights and
feelings, and preferences, as well as himself
he forms the habit of considering those rights,
feelings and preferences, and he is thus pre-
pared to "get along" Bwe say, with those
among whom his lot may be cast. Parents
with one child have a difficult task, and their
best way is to get for their solitary chick as
many play.fellows of its own age as they con-
yeniently can. 1t is bad for a child to asso.
ciate too much with persons of mature age.

cratic party seems now to be marching toward
the ascendant not because the republicans have
not soon enough favored the enfranchisement of
few very wicked men, Horace Greeley to the
contrary, Notwithstanding
Other causes might be named one is, General
Grant has not been entirely popular, and those
republicans who oppose him will ndubitably
throw many Of their own party over to the other
side. The removal Of Sumner from the chair Of
the committee on foreign relations may cost the
administration the State of Massachusetts These
and some other like causes may combine to defeat
Grant in the next election. That would be a
great calamity and would be attended by fearful
consequences. But if doing right endangers the
party, then cheerfuly accept the situation Fiat

Coon LUCE.-Some young men talk about
luck. Good luck is to get up at six O'Clock
in the morning. Good luck, if you only have
a shilling a week, is to live on eleven pence
and save penny. Good luck is to trouble
your head with your own and let others bust
ness alone. Good luck is to fulfil the COM
mandmcnts, and to do unto other people as
We wish them to do unto US. We must plod
and perseyere. Pence must be taken care Of
because they are the seeds of guineas. To
get on in the world, we must take care Of
home, sweep our own doorwways clean, try
to help other people, avoid temptation, and
have trust and faith in God.
