Temperance Notes and Comments.

WINE.

The people drink their cheap wines here (Switzerland) to drunkenness; Cheap wine is not the cure for intemperance. The people here are just as intemperate as they are in America—J, G, Holland. The drinking habit runs through every phase of society. I have seen more people drunk here than I ever saw in Boston for the same length ;of time. Hon. James M. Usher Commissioner to the World's Exposition in Paris in 1867. I hold to the utter abandonment of the use as a beverage of distilled and fermented liquors of every sort, especially of wines, whether having much or little alcohol in them — Eliphalet Nottj D.D. It (wine) produces most of the bad effects of ardent spirits, as misused in our country, and Is perhaps more insidious--Horatio Greenough the sculptor, of Florence. In my interview with the King of the French, he stated expressly that the drunkenness of France was occasioned by wine.—Hon. E. C. Delavan. Of all things known to mortals wine is the most powerful and effectual for exciting and inflaming the passions of mankind, being common fuel to them all.—tord Bacon. The use of wine is quite supesfiuous to man. It is constancy followed by the expenditure of power. The drinker draws a .bill, on his health which must always be renewed.—.Baron I«iebig,
