BENJAMrs FRISRLIN.-The following
tribute 10 the great American Philoso!
pher is FROM an address by Hon. Georges
Bancroft. the Historian:
mot the half of Frank1in's merits
have been told. He was The lrtie father
Of the American Union. 1t was he
who went forth to lay the foundation Of
that great design at Albany; and in
New York he fitted tfp his voice. Here
among us he appeared as the apostle Of
the Union. Il was Franklin who sug-
gested the Congress OF 1774, and but
for his wisdom, and the confidence that
wisdom inspired, it is & matter Of doubt
whether that Congress would have ta--
ken effect. II was franklin who sug:
gested the bond OF the Union which
binds these States from Florida To-
Maine. Franklin was the greatest df-
plomatist Of the 18th century. He
never spoke a word too soon; he never
spoke 9 word too late; he never spoke
word too much; be never failed to
speak the right word at the right ses'
son."

CHAMPAGNE CIDER.

After the apples are crushed, press
out the juice, put in clean eask. and
leave out the bung. 1t will work with
out anything being put in. In four or
FIVE days draw of, and put into apoth-
er clean cssk. Do this three or four
times, allowing as many days between
each changing. 1t does not work well
in cloudy weather, and so must be left
longer. If it does not fine well, it will
not keep sweet. To assist the 6nibg,
dissolve six ounces Of gelatine for each
hogshead, and mix; do this. previous
to the last change Of cask.
The quality Of cider depends upon
the sort Of apples used. Two parts
sour apples and one part sweet will
make good cider.
Now, observe, let there be no time
lost in the whole process, but allow suf-
ficient time to do 1t well. 1t is parti-
cles Of pulp left in the cider that causes
it to turn sour. To effect the proper
clarifying and working it will require
four changes Of cask, that is if you
want first rate cider. Do not put any
water in any part Of the process-hav-
ing all juice.
After the last change, the cider may
remain in the cask. bunged up two OF
three months. You can then bottle of
lay the bottles down in a cold; dark
cellar-some will burst, but then you
must put up with IL. 1t will be fit for
use during the summer. when all the
parts of the work have been well done.
The bottled cider win be equal to cham
psgne, and will keep sweet.
