!■ Wine Drinking Noland Formerly. ' ; It is. an every-day rcmaik that the ■ wines now in use appear to be more deleterious than lurmei ly. . At the beginning - ‘if .this century; it v was a common thing, to hear uf thrce JtoUle then, four bottle 'men,* ami Vvcii six bottle nicti; (hat if, men who could drink, rn. dinner, line*, four, -or mx-. bottles 'of wine, and this of (he strongt-iq kinds, sucli a< poil-wine.--- . I.orJ Brougham, wliuflilMive* in agiiVn olil age, was one'of these men. lint : where is the person who can dlink six hollies of the wine now fcoht'iyis port ?— There can be hot one reason why this can*. .. not U done. * The race has not l d('fe i rIm--ftlcd.. *It is the is at fiinh. We j no loiigcrjaic able, to burn pure article, i .At the vineyards themselves the wino is .often drugged. Moreover,’ the . present i | wines,, in too ma\yjnstances,;^re mixed with alcohol/ Thus, even (he ridlest, who' honestly tmK'avorto obtain umnVul (orated 1 wines, do not always .juiccecd. What must be I he character of thestuff. tbeiolo,ic,'which is "afforded to the great body of purchasers? records of intern petit nec, every man, answers j this question. Wine drinking how, ‘and formerly, aie very different ■j affairs, . ■* . boy, nine times put of ten, when men {drink what is now said to he wine, they j really drink spirits, lhal being the princi- ! pal ingredient of the computmd. Spirits jand wine; however, differ, |()n this subject, a late number of the j British and 1 Foreign-Medico Chi logical Keview has a.striking article, widely every wjitc;. drihkvr ought to read.' That allfo journal shows tTiat the habitual, me of spirits, and consequently of most .of the stuff how sold as winch arrests tjiat meta- , moiphosds of which is necessary for health, leaving the cffel tissue ns a useless I burden iliihe tody, to to converted into! thai- least vitalised of all the organic con-j siitucnts. oil and (at, till finally life itself 1 is clogged at (he fountain-head. IT is a I jfallacy to think that duly.drimkennc.-s i>j injurious. Thousands of -men* according j to-the Keview; who .have never becamejllriflttHi,;aniiiraJIy perish, having shorten|ed their liyts by tippling a little evofy day. /The dram arrests the metamorphosis of tissue;' another dhmi is jaken before j the’arrest ceases; tbc reaction, .thus postponed, becomes more intense; the depressibn is excessive; more drainsare,takbn; and the end, .wilhmit evir having been intoxicated, the tippler sinks into his grave, the victim of ardent spirits. - It is different with'the mail who drinks wine. There is a cau'Se - for this;,,even •aparUrohi the chemical difference between wine*mid for wine is rarely nsetl except at meals, so that the eftectsdiaye time to' pass away before a second dose becomes d iif, and hence no craving for an .increased 'quantify is experienced. - Men Jrc now living in IconsequcnctV of "robust tiknge; who. have’taken the tame, identical number of glares "of wine, daily, for Imlf a century, without feeling it nccessa ry to increase the'quantity.. It is better, therefore, to drink wine, even such wines as is sold now, than to drink spirits.;. But it v is best not to drink wine at all. unless you can gel a "pure article. This is becoming, we ‘ a rb sorry to say,, more d ifli* cult daily. Even otir American, wines arc adjhcrated‘ largely with' alcohol. Whose wines art purest it is difficult to gay. Experience, perhaps, can alone decide. The taste is : no infalliable test, The.effccts On the organism arc the most reliable, bat not every , person is capable of discriminating these,-and there is too much risk also in this process. Without being'fauatical therefore, we may come to the conclusion that the' safcsnMUjrse, nil I things considered, is to abstain pot only from spirits, but from all descriptions of | the stuff sold as win il. Ledger. ; j

CrocSna and. His Son.

Without disrespect to our readers, we may take.it for granted that many' of them' have both heard and used the expression without any very definite idea as to, its. application!: . Be it known unto all Audi,'that Croc* sus was a king of Lydia, fanionfi for his wealth and magnificence! Lydia is one | of the ’small kingdoms it\to which, in qld times, .Asia -Minor .was divided- Nearly ! six hundred years before the'birth of our Saviour did this Cjroesus live, arid yet the fame of hia Wpallh has kept his name from oblivion during twenty centuries, Ha must; indeed, have*bceri a very rich king, as kings went then; hot a little margin must be allowed in reading the description left 'us of ‘Kit whalth hy Herodotus, tl(t i father of history, who wusfond-of dealing I in the marvellous. Strabo -tells us of certain gold mines belonging to Croesus, who appears to hare obtained the hulk of hit wealth from these “diggi rigs." - The celebrated river Pad oink, of the golden 'sands, likewise flowed through his dominions, and gold-washing is proverbially a lucrative occupation. . Croesus, like many other rich, people, became a littlo ostentations, and was fond of exhibiting his richcs-oud splendor to the admiring gaze of strangers. When Solon, one of the seven sages of Greece, came to visit him, the king displayed alt his magnificence to dazzle the eyes of the philosopher,#nd got considerably snubbed for his pains—Solon* evidently regarding the wealth of Crocsns as a matter of very littlo moment. So caustic and severe were (ho remarks of the sage on this occasion, that iEsop, (lie fabulist, who was staying at the court of Croesus*—nesting himself, perhaps, after his'fatiguing search for “amau"—took the visitor to task, obscrviug,'“Solon, we should cither npt come near princes, or speak such things as ate agreeable to’thorn." “Say, rather,” replied the imperturbable Solon, “wo cither riot coiho near them, or speak such things as are good foe them!" Whereupon the fabulist, baying for 01190 found hU man, was silent. But Croesus would hot listcn'to So* Ion’s counsels/and allowed the sage to depart in disjgracc. Qo'soon found, to bis cost, that there was oho thing stronger even than gold, and that his material was foldriron,’ In an evil hour’ he on; gaged in a war with the Persians, and. the great conqueror Cyrus was soon marching against him;, and the Lydians .had ho ! chance against the discipline and valor of j the troops of the Modes nud- Pen-laris, 1 SurdU, the* capita], was threatened, hc[freiged,'and'taken by stratagem; and then. i U Was that the incident occurred which forms the'subject of our sketch. \ The; victorious invadets wore fighting their way 'along the. walls of the citadel.
