HR. BMALS,
That kind of, philanthrophy, on
which moderh revolutionists so much
value themselves, which exerts itself ph
the general mass of mankind, to the
total neglect of the common offices of
beneficence and charity to every indi
vidual composing it, and consists in
fruitless endeavours to extend the pos
session of liberty andequality to those
who wotild net know how to use, if
they had themjs so well taken off in the
following little piece from the Poetry
of the Anti-Jacobin, that I think
your readers wil| be gratified by its
insertion in the Constitutionalist.
THE FRIEND OF HUMANITY
AND THE
KN^FE-GRINDER.
Friend of Humanity.
" Needy Knife-grinder, whither are you
going?"
Rough is the road, your wheel is out of order,
Bleak blows the blast;—your hat has a hole
in't,
So have your breeches.
" Weary knife-grinder,little think the proud
ones.
Who in their coaches roll alongthe turn -pike-
Road, what hard work ? tis crying all day
' " knives and
Scissars to grind O !"
“ Tell me, knife-grinder, how you came to
grind knives ?
, Did some rich man tyrannically use you ?
Was it the Squire, or Parson of the parish ?
Or the Attorney ?
" Was itthe Squire, for killingofhis game, or
Covetous Parson, for his tythes distraining?
Or roguish Lawyer, made you lose your little
All, in a lawsuit?
“ (Have you not read the Rights of Man,
by Tom Paine,)
Drops of compassion tremble on my eyelids,
Ready to fall, as soon as you have told your
Pitiful story.
Knife-grinder.
" Story ! God bless you, I have, none to tell
sir,
Only last night a-drinking at the Chequers,
Tliis poor old hat and breeches as you see,
were
Torn in a scuffle—
« Constables came up for to take me into
Custody; they took me before a justice ;
Justice" Oldmixoa put me in the parish-
Stocks for a vagrant.
" I should be glad to drink your Honour's
health in
A pot of beer, if you will give me sixpence ;
But for my part," I never love to meddle
With politics, sir."
The following beautiful and im
pressive little hymn is taken from an
old newspaper ; we know not its 'date
or author ; but this we know that it
is worthy of being learnt by, and im
pressed on, every heart,
HYMN.
[Kicks the Knife-grinder, overturns his
wheel, and exit in a transport of Republican
enthusiasm and universal philanthropy.]©
. Friend of Humanity.
" I give thee sixpence? I will see thee
d—mn'd first— -'
Wretch! whom no sense of wrongs can
rouse to vengeance—
Sordid, unfeeling reprobate, degraded,
Spiritless outcast !"
Miscellany.
As soon as the juice from your ap
ples is drawn, let it be well strained
through a hair cloth to take out all the
gross pummice previous to its being
put into clean vessels; you will then
place it on your horse (filled to the
bung) which should be put in a situa
tion to screen it from the sun, and be
of sufficient height to. admit a hogshead
under to rack the liquor jnto when
properly fermented ; during this pro
cess you will either reserve cider of the
same sort, or take some of a fresh
pressing to fill the casks to the top
every day, scraping from the bung the
pumice ejected previously, during the
fermentation, so that when it ceases it
may instantly be racked in a pure state,
the remains thrown into a vinegar
cask, and the hogshead well washed:
but if intended to be used in further
racking it should be matched ready for
that purpose.
I « the lightning streamed in thick
“ flashes over the sty ; the thunder
“ growled at a distance; it came
“ nearer, and I felt afraid for it
" was loud and terrible."
" Did thy heart feel no terror but
of the thunder bolts ? Was there noth
ing bright and terrible but the light
ning? Return 0 Child of Reason, for
there are greater things than these. —
God'was in the storm and didst thou
not perceive him ? His terrors were
abroad, and did not thine heart ac
knowledge him ?
" God is in every place ; he speaks
in every sound wehcar; heisin all that
our, eyes behold. Nothing O Child of
Reason, is without God, —Let God,
therefore, be in all your thoughts."
In making strong Cider it is neces
sary that it should have the first, or
vinous fermentation, and that every
attempt at a second or an acetous one,
should be prevented. For this pur
pose the matching of casks it is racked
into is indispensable. To make a
match, melt brimstone, and when melt
ed, dip into itslips of coarse linen cloth
of about If by 5 inches take them
out and keep them till necessary.
When used, takeo ne piece, set ti on
fire, put it into the bung of the cask,
and hold it by a wire till it is consum
ed, keeping the bung hole covered
with a cloth, then draw out the wire
and bung the cask tight for an hour or
two and it is fit for use, or if well done
in a shorter time. If after the first
racking your Cider shotfld shew a dis
position to referment, you must match
a cask and rack it again; this will
generally prevent any future attempts.
When you want sweet Cider, you begin
your racking when it is agreeable to
your palate, previous to a full fermen
tation, but then you must be prepar
ed to rack it into a matched cask at
every attempt to ferment: this is prac
tised by skilful cider bottlers. When
cider is racked it ought to be put into
a cellar or store-house, or kept in
some cool place, as warmth promotes
theseepnd, or acetous fermentation.
A little present trouble would save
much future labour ; if persons when
they draw offtheir cider would imme
diately rinse well their casks, match,
bung them tight, and lay them by for
the next year, they would be found
perfectly sweet.
The process for making Cider for
distillation or for Vinegar, is the same ;
but when made for the latter you are
to place it in a situation to have all the
sun possible, and give it, every time
you make cider, (or get from others)
a small quantity of that which is new
to aid its fermentations; the firs? of
which is vinous, the succeeding ones
acetious, which you are to promote
as much as possible, and cemtinue them
till the vinegar is made, or until the
weather is so cold that fermentation
will act no longer. It will be gene,
rally made before the cold breather
sets in. Venegar is produced not by
the first fermentation, but by succeed
ing ones,and the great object in making
vinegar, is to produce a second fermen
tation or the acetous, which gives the
vinegar—this, as before observed, is
done by putting a little new cider there
in, keeping the liquor in a warm situa
tion, and sometimes a little leaven will
produce the time effect.
36 bushels of apples, it is supposed,
will make a hogshead of cider of 110
gallons, for which, if made into vinegar,
it will bring, say at twelve and a half
cents, Dollars 13 75
If exchanged for apple brandy,
will produce Bgallons, which,
from its plenty may be worth
50 cents, 4 00

Cannot the immense quantity of ap
ples falling from the trees in this stye,
be put to abetter and more profitable
use, by making vinegar thaw apple
liquor.—;%id
