With no longing to roam;
Enough of the world conies to me!

But my easy chair dream
She cannot disturb nor destroy.
For Home in its glory.

WEE IN SCRIPTURE.
Fifty -Eight References to the
Juice of the Grape.
AN INTERESTING RECORD.
(Hamilton Times.)
Of late there has peen a geed deal of dis-
cussion en the question of the variety of
wine referred to in the Scriptures. There
has always been a difference of opinion
among Biblical students as to the descrip-
tion of wine mentioned in some of the lead-
ing passages and of late there has been
a pitched war of words in New York
city between Rev. Dr. Crosby and
Rev. I)r. Cuyler, two leading divines, hi
regard teethe subject -the former holding
that the wine of scripture is almostinvaria-
bly fermented (alcoholie) liquor, and the
latter that it is the pure juice of the .grape:
Vire have collected the following fifty-eight
refeeences to wine in the scriptures -being
thewhole of the passages in which wine is
meneioned. The list is larger, doubtless,
than most people would believe :

xxiii. 1.3; and Num. xv. 5. -.

A. GIGANTIC SCHEME.
A Company Organized to Drain the Ever..
glades of Florida and Reclaim 12,000,-
000 Acres of the Richest Land in the
World. -
(Phil. Despatch to the Chicago Tribune.)
Now that the Philadelphia capitalists
who were about to reclaim the immense
tracts of land in the state of Florida,
known as the "Everglades," have com-
pleted their contract with that state, it is
no longer a secret that one of the main
features of the gigantic scheme is the build-
ing of a ship-canalacross the state of Florida.
This project almost equals in importance
that of reclaiming 12,000,000 acres of
the richest land in the world south of the
frost belt. A ship -canal across the state of
Florida has been the dream of engineers
for many years. It would not only shorten
the distance between the American ports
on the Atlantic coast and all European
ports to Nev Orleans, Mobile and all ship-
ping points on the Gulf of Mexico, but it
would avoid the dangers to navigation
which are experienced on the countless
keys and coral reefs off the southern and
southwestern coast of Florida. All ship
captains know of this danger, which is
often aggravated by hurricanes which
are common to the southward of
Florida, but which are comparatively
unknown on.ethe west coast in the
region of Tainpa Bay. It is well known
that a number of New York capitalists
have been endeavoring for some years to
get a charter from the state of Florida to
build a ship canal, but the Philadelphia
company, with a great deal of shrewdness.
have got ahead of them. It is believed
that,* connection with the Isthmus Canal,
now , in course of construction under M.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the Florida Canal
must at -once Attract the attention of the
capitalists not -only of America but of
Eurcpe. As to the feasibility, not of •
puileang a ship canal, but of draining the
'Ilverglailes," the opieionof eminent
engineers and. artily officers :of the lad
g' eneration are quoted by these who have
this -Work in charge. •
