Wbat is Wine Made Of? It being asserted that not one-third of the wine used iu Paris is made of grapes, the many Americans who turn up their noses nt the juice of our grapes will naturally wonder what the spurious French wines are made of. Au exchange says that there are a number of large I'wtories near Paris, in which wines are made from rot-tea apples, damaged dried fruits of all kinds, Doeta and spoiled molases. But there is not enough of these materials to make as much wine as is required by foreign trade. Turnip juice has Wn worked over into wiue, and American cider is the basis of millions of bottles of champagne, lint good apples and turnips are too costly to be wasted on chca'p wines, such as most Americans buy. Someef the Temperance societies might find the retnrns tliey arc after by satisfying public curiosity about what wiuea are made of.

The Itwer Cj.arsk Who are they The wiling millions, the lalwiring man nnd woman, the funuer, the mechanic, the artisan, the inventor, the producer! Far from it. These sre nuture's nobility. No matter If they are high or low in station, rich or poor in pelf, conspicious or humble in position, they nre surely upper circles in the order of Nature, whatever tlio factitious distinction of society, fushiouahle or un fashionable, decree. It is not low, it is the highest doty, privilege and pleasure for the great man aod high-souM woman to earn what they possets, to work their own way through life, to be architects of their Own fortunea. Nome rank the rtusnrM we haveulludod to as only relatively tow, and, in fact, the mkUHing cituwsa.

We iiihist they are aljeoluU-ly th very higbeM. If there be a clasHobuuuto brings oo earth who may be properly dettouituuliM low, it Is that class who upend without eornioK, who consume without prrxltK-ing, wlw di-lipute on the rarniugs of their fathers or relatives without beinp anything Id aud 01 themselves. Tfcs Ikckanic Nine years ago a few fanners owned the ground on which Ajtamout. is now Injilt, fought tlio oiiU i Pi iso bitterly, and predicted it would 1h their ruin and make their projiortv almost valueless; a few were so mad that they ollend to sell out at low ligurea.
