Peace is liberty in tranquility.-- ero. I have never advocated war, except Grant. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.-- Emerson I am a man of peace. God knows how I love peace; but I hope I shall never be sach a coward as to mistake oppression for peace.--Koseuth. Peace, above all things, is to be 'desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.--Andrew Jackson. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peace- able; the noisome grave is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a idead one.--Carlyle. The Colors of Grapes- The dark red color of certian grapes is due to a compound of tannin, which all varieties of the vine contain. The color seems to depend on the combined action of the air, light and heat. The change fn color is produced naturally by means of a specific ferment which carries oxygen to the grape. These ferments are often the agents of color- ing in vegetables substances. PIANOS! PIANOS!
