lie Lonisiun0is, who is some.
thing like a Frenchn,an, and who
has noticed that drunkalus are al
most unknown in the countries
where the grapes ofour father Noa}.
are cultivated and appreciated, is
presently abused by a strange sect
OF Puritans, Totalists, wine-llatcrs,
drinkers of water and wild ducks.
We know very we'll the stuff of
which their temperance is made.
Our T0tulists drink water in cup,
cordm populo, and whiskey in IA bot
tie, behind the curtain, en- cuchette,
4 meme Ia boutciUe, as the French
man says.
But, Puritans and ducks, if Noah
has planted the vine by the order Of
God, if Jesus our Lord, at the nup-
tails OF Cana, has changed the water
into wine, if the priest himself, in
commemoration Of the Last Supper,
drinks the eucharistical wine of the
holy sacrifice, how can the wine, the
good wine, the healthful wine, the
wine of charity, generosity, liberty
and Hpiness, be d sin or a crime!
AS to the whiskey, when a labor
CT has worked all day in the field Of
sweat and pain, he commits no cri-
me by drinking a glass of whiskey,
rhum or brandy.
Uf sed non abuh,says the old phi
losopher.

to abuse LIE Lonisionais, may duck,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

He is a wise who never acts with
out reason, and never against it.
The beginning of anger is foolish
ness, and its end is repentance.
He who prctends to be every
body's particular friend is nobody's
If you do what you should not, you
must bear what you would not.
The imagination is of so delicate
a texture that even words wound it.
If we lack the sagacity to discri.
inmate nicely between our acQualn-
tances and our friends, our mlstor-
tune will readily do it for us.
1t is not 50 easy as philosophers
tell us to lay aside our prcjndiceS;
mere volition cannot enable us to
divcst ourselves OF long-established
feelings, and reason is averse to lay
ing aside theories it has once been
taught to admire. y
Hath an; wronged thee? BE bra
vely avenged; slight it, and the
work is begun: forgive, and its
finished. He is below himself that is
not above an injury.
It is often better to have a great
deal of harm happen to II than a
little a great deal may rouse you
to remove what Il little will only
accustom you to endure.
Tie great maj should retire occa,
%sionally from the stage to avoid
wearying admiration: for however
brilliant the sur may be, it would
be wrong for it never to set.

We were shown, yesterday, a death
mask Of the great Napoleon. Need any
one be told what death-mask is? Yet
lest any reader should misapprehend or
undervalue such relic il will be well
enough to briefly describe the process
by which tits taken. The face is smear
ed with oil and then overlaid with a thin
paste of plaster of Paris, which is thick

mask is removed. We have now mat

with the plaster, which, when removed,
gives the features TO the very exactness

holder is first struck by the massiveness
Of the head, the width Of the forehead and
the size and symmetry Of the bony
structure. The profleis handsome and
bold, the nose being prominent and
aquiline. The lips are parted, showing
the regular teeth. The mouth, accord
ing to the mask, was straight, the upper
lip short but overlining the lower lip,
which Is dclicately nodded ard curving
gracefully inward to the firm, handsome
chin. The throat has a feminine grace.
The cheekboncs are prominent, the jaws
square and massive. The cheeks are
sunken, but the eyeballs are full, large
and prominent, indicating great lumin-
ositics. The expression Is noble pla-
cidity; ghost Of a smile fingers around
the lips. :.
