He sees the same passions the same ideas pervade the mind of the peer and the peasant; a gloss only is discernible in the language nnd appearance of the one, which the other docs not possess. If any difference distinguish them, it is to the advantage of him who wears the mask. The people show themselves as they arc, and they arc not amiable; the great know the necessity of disguising themselves; were they to exhibit themselves as they arc, they would excite horror. TO MAKE GOOD CIDER, The apples should remain on the tree till they are thoroughly ripe. After they are gathered they should be sorted, by putting such as arc tipe into one heap, ami those that ate hard into another. Those which arc hard and unrip?, should be left in the heap, in order to sweat until they become mellow. The fruit is then to be ground till the rind and seeds ire well bruised; after which, it should stand for some time in a large open trough or vessel, exposed fothc air It in next to be laid into a cheese, with clean straw, and slowly and carefully pressed, and the liquor received and put into a large tub, where it should have time to stand and settle. Draw it offand put it in barrel before it begina to ferment; place it in a cool situation, with the bung holes open until it hr.s done working, when it should be stopped light. It would improve to rack it off a second time alter the fermentation has ceased, The barrel, after fermentation, should be filled up with good clear cider, to exJ elude the air. To preserve it, put two i quarts of whiskey to a barrel of cider; and if it becomes too sour, boil and hull a quart or three pints of wheat in a manner similar to ice, and put it in each barrel, which is much better than the odious custom of putting in meat, practised by many. iuey wnoarc niosi wcaryoi uic, ami . yet almost unwilling to die, arc such wuu iuvc ucti m 1 1 li uuipusv, wnuiiavc ,athcr breathed than lived Clar ndm TiimFtr" a maxims asd advice ton iiErtEMHElt, "lo preserve jieace ccireiarcd ror war," The nature of our government will not tolerate standing armies.
