6 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1860. AN ALE-EWBJCAL SKETCH. Hlaforjr of Ale. The following extracts are copied from th quarto edition of a beautifully printed and Illus trated little volume entitled "Ale: in Prone and me, bv Barry Gray and John Havage." Mr. flray biu strung together, in a ballad of thirty two stanzas, sundry pretty conceits concerning alethe people who make it, and the people who drink 1 and added thereto many pleasing Ind icate of a tonle, Teutonic, aad Platonic charac ter. Mr. Savage's pnt of the work, a history of ale from early times to the present day, showa greai research, and coutalns much matter of a valuable as well as an interesting character. The book Is dedicated to the memory of the late John Taylor, of Albany, formerly Mayor of that 'city, And known ai one of the largest and most successful brewers of ale in this country. The book Is not for sale, but is intended solely for presentation, an edition of ten thousand five hundred copies, octavo and quarto size, having been printed. LIT US DRIMC. Tom Miller, ear and festive fellow, Come, put aside your ooobs and pen, And we witi let our hearts trow meiiow, Bv mingling with oar brother men. 'We're dull m monks in Iviea o oistera; We neod wherewith oar hearts to cheer; We'll end it in a dozen oyntors, And in two mags of sparkling beer. John Taylor was a fa maun brewer, In Albany fur years he dwelt, And never nobler man or truer, Than he, be.oro Uod's lb roue e'er knelt. Ton iinew liim, Tom. a d ott nnited With those to whom his love was doar, Around the festal board, deliguted To quail' his generous foaming beer. You know h'.s sons, botn Jos and William, Isg glorious men as e'er drew breath, And there was Ned ono in a million I But his bright eyes aro cloned id death. A trace, tboujrh, Tom, to thoughts of sorrow, ttrlevlnff o'er friends doth nought avail Wlitt it the grave claims us to-morrow 1 To-day we'll drink our mug of ale. And snch a'e. too, my jolly follow, As well would suit the gods to quaff; 'Twill make the saddest Hearts grow mellow. And cause the gloomiest man to laugh. I've drank the wiues of n.any a vine-land, 'Ihe product ot both bill and dale, But I'd exchange the best of Kulneland for ono lull mug of Taylor's ale. TOO-TONIC. The bearded Teuton, round and burly, May find the best 01 le-tal che.r Whether the hour be late or early In countless mugs ot laser beer. Bh flaxen-haired and blue-eyed daughter, May even o'or my tastes prevail, And for her eves do cruel slaugh'er Make me forego my favorite ale. But only for a little season, An hour or two in J one' Wood, For when returns my ea rner reason, I shake my head and say, "No rood." Lager may do for p. amp Dutch maiden, io wash down Sen veitser oneeso severa, Sut 1 prefer my table laden With Shrewaburys and loamiog beer. Alt EARLY LOVE. October's brewage, pore and creamy, Fragrant of hop and ma l new-made, To childhood's a ay., so sweet and dreamy, Fraught more with sunshine than with shade, Carried as back to when we rambled With pretty Uade o'er bill and dale, Whue trusty watch before us gambolled, Long ere we knew the taste ot aio. The scent of blossoming hops was wafted From fields where vines innumeroas grew, And 'm?d its perl ume there was grafted A savor which the bar.ej knew; loose climbing vines, those fields of barley, Heard then full maty a pleasant tale, " While lor her kisst s we did par.ey, ' 1 kecalied to mind now o'er our ale. Those ha'cyon days long slnoe have vanished, For Madge, dear Maoge, is now but dust; Iter Win !r0tn sarin lor ever uameuud, ller spirit mingles with the Just. But while remembrance bids us weop her, Our love through llw will never tail, For in our heart of hearts we'll keep her, And drink her memory In our ale. EARLY MENTION OP BEBE. The mention of beer or fermented liquor is, in the common phrase, a9 old as the hills. It the antiquity of Us appearance on the historical records of Old Earth has any recommendatory qualifications, as is frequently the case with other things, certainly iis importance will not be considered far behind almost any other arti cle of domestic use. Tradition, failing iu the remoteness of the earlier stages -of its being to tu with certainty the invention of beer on earth, takes reluge in the regions ot mythology, and accords its first creation to the god Bacchus. Whether beer owes its paternity to toe lolly D.emon Bonus (one ot the many names given to the god ot wine, because, at all leasts, the last glass was drank to his honor), or to any lens heathen or more drunken deini-god, is a matter of small consequence in these days o( earthly proves eiveness. WHO INVENTED BEER? Coming to what appeals more to our reason, we find tuat Herodotus, whose writings are the first extant ot Grecian historians, and who flour ished in the close of the tilth, century previous to the Christian era, sets beer dowu as an Egyp tion invention, and ascribes its discovery to Isis, wife of Assyria, She brewed a wine or beverage from barley ; and Mr. Talboys Wheeler, in his remarkably literary panorama of the history, manner, arts, and social condition of the ancients ot that day, tells us that, as vines did not grow in Egypt, the wines of Greece and Phoenicia were very largely imported and con sumed by those abie to enjoy such indulgence; but those who could not buy the loreign growths, drunk a kind of home-made wine or beer, produced from barley, which, however, was veiy supetior to the ale drankby the lower orders in Greece. Xenophon, in his description of the retieat of the ten thousand, (ot which he was a general), after the but le oi Cunaxa, sixty milt from Babylon, in the year 101 B. C, men tions beer as a beverage. Tiodorus Siculus, who flourished in the tirst century betore Christ, alludes to a ierraented decoction of bar ley as one ot the ordinary beverages of the . L auo. lacitus (born Anno Domini 57) suuuii i lie dates ft von v. h ni.io. writers, and states that such a drink was much wj tut? uoitunuR, THE NATIONAL DBINK OP THE TEUTONS. Beer was the national drink of the Teutons. It was the patent beverage of the heroes and sea-rovers oi me iNoreiaau, Mia not oniv fliiori up the measure ot dellsht. next to nghtinn, in mis wunu, uui cuibicu luigei; into their ex pected joys in vaiuaiia. io ttrinK ale in ine balls oi Uilin, even from the skulls of their foea. deprived death of its tenors. The death-chuut of Ragnar Lodbroer, a famous sea-king, who was caotured and killed in nrlson bv a Nor thumbrian king, about A. D. 8U5, exhibits the beer hopes ot the Norse heroes: "We fought with our swords; still I dolipht When I tuinic of the bauquut prepaied Uy the lather of Ualdor io rgule the brave; There we shall copiously drink of ale, Out ot cups that ate lormed of the Skulls ol our toes." 'Mow cease our tong-tho goddesses coins And invite mo hom to ihs ilal of Odin; Happy there, on a hiirli-raised turouo, Htuted with gods, i sualt quaff my ale." THE ALB AND BEER OF BCBSIA. In Russia, ale and beer are of universal accent ance. The beer of Rica Is ot a superior order. and the ale ot Okka, in Nishney Novogorod, is said to partake ol the character of Burton, both in qutdity and flavor. Quass und Braga are in common use. The Quass. which Is the ordi nary household beverage is made of barley malt. ana small proportions o rvc and malt and uu- bolled rye meal, sometimes varied bv adding raisins to make it foam, a piece of rye bread to aciuuiaie it, or aitierent fruits to cm -it color. JlDttJltbe modes of icaVinj it told or tepid, water is poured on tha Ingredients, the oans f Teased ar.d set In a hot oven. KitslyscMsctiy s the name of a kind of Quass. made irom rye DicJ Wi hoijing water, violently stirred, fold natcr Is added, pd, after fermentation, It is said to lie a fine drink, foamy, effervescent, sparkling like Seltzer water, anl bearing a re semblance to the Ilornertjtor of Vienna. Braw is a thick white liquor, vinous In flavor, heady, and drank by "the common peoplo." It is made of oat meal, or wheat and bopp, and is pleasant when Iresb. ALE A MONO THE F0ET9. Ale has not been overlooked by the poets and dramatists. Sir John Barleycorn has been ft standing character with them. He is the Gam brinns of our race, and the history of the beve raee represented by him receives a great deal ot lively illustration irom the attention and writings of the poets and literati. Of course it is neither desirable nor necessary that the many noticeable allusions to ale, which occur throuehout the writings in the English tongue, should be referred to, much less quoted; but it will be in generous accord with the subject being, as it were, the creamy foam beads on the brown or amber beverage to draw upon litera ture and the lives of eminent people lor somo illustration of that which so happily Inspired them on various occasions. SALE AMONG THE DRAMATISTS. In connection with the subject, it la certainly interesting to know that Bhaaespeare's father was one of the ale-tatters ot Htratford-upon-Avon about tne same time that he was a mem ber of the corporation of that borough. The stage furnishes many glimpses characteristic not only ot the use of ale but of the peculiar qualities and special local brewings of it -Tte lamous scene between old "Will Bonllace" and "Almwell," in Farquhar's Beau's Stratagem, lor irstance, which is one of the heartiest passages .I.. .,hnln ran on nt rnmpdv. and in which the Jollv host, who was as particular in the age of nls aie as oi uis ruuureii, ucbtriucn l,iljiiiii-iu brew "smooth as oil, sweet as milk, clear as amber, and strong as brandy," with the addi tional information that "it will be just four teen j ears old the filth day of next March, olJ style." PUNCH, CLARET, AND BEER. "Morgan Odoheity," who had experience and great taste in such matters, auvises people, in stead of "dram drinking," whicu is an lnlamons and ruinous practice, and "port drinking," which is provocative of blobby Bardolphian noses, to "drink as much trood claret, eood punch, or good beer, as you can get hold of, for these 11a u or s make a man an Adonis." Ana lyzing the effect produced on the appeurance of these liquors, ne gives ine paim. to ciarei tne tasting of which, he says, creates a pecnliar delicacy oi expression aoout me montn. "Beer, though last," he adds, "is not the least in its beautifying powers. A beer-drinker's cheek is like some ol the finest species ot apples The side that's next the sun.' Such a check carries one back into the golden age, reminding us ot Eve, Helen, Atalanta, and 1 know not what more. Upon the whole, I should, if called upon to give a decided opinion as to these matters. In the present state of mv information and feeling, say as lollops: "Give me the cheek ot a beer-bibber the calf of a punch-bibber and the moutn ot a claret bibber." FIOZZI, MALIBRAN, AND SIDDONS. What a chain of literary circumstances, and wnat an interesting tuna of anecdote, is there not based upon and woven round Sam Johnson's residence, under the roof ot Mr. Thrale, the brewer, famous as the husband ot his wife, nee Hester Lynch; and, alter nis death, the vain. garrulous, keen, brilliant, and Interesting jnaaame nozzi i Apropos ot laatc s illustrating the ale and beer history, it will be remembered that the angelic Mai bran was devoted orobablv for the sake of her completion to a "pot of half ana nan." even toe suiaons cer-ett is tne inspi ration of a few very characteristic anecdotes relating to the "malt.'' Her predilection for a "pint of beer," on one occasion, produced a very novel and ridiculous stage eilect; the boy, who was hurriedly despatched lor the beverage, rushed back to the theatre, and. not flntln Mrs. HinnnnH in Tim Dmnn.rnnm .,1 rri in. nri.rl .1 Intent ou his errana, annea on tne staae and presented the foaming pewter to the great actress, men going' rnrougn me sleeping scene ot "Lady Macbeth." The other anecdote presents her as some what, if not very etacey off the staire. Moore told Shiel. the author of Evadne of an occa sion when a large party were invited to meet her. She remained silent, as was her wont, and disappointed the expectations of the whole company, who watched ror every synaoie mat should escape her lips. At length, however. being asked n sne wouia nave some uurton kin cIia fnnllaH with a flpnillphrnl Intnnnhin that "she liked ale vastly." Lockhart gives another and similar anecdote. Yv hen the euest ot Scott, Mr 3. Slddons, in an eminently tragic voice, aaaressea a servant: "i nsKea ior water, boy you've brought me beer." Shelton Mackenzie having detailed one ot these anec dotes to Maturin. author of Bertram, the latter very aptly said: "The voice of Mrs. 8id- doi s, l ke at. t'aui's Den. snouut never ton ex cept for the death ol 'kings." THE CONVERSION OF SENATOR WILSON The religious conversion o Senator Wilson, which some have affirmed and others have denied, is announced by the Senator himself in the following remarks made by him at a revival meeting at Natick, Mas., last week. The recent conveits being invited to speak, Senator Wilson was one of the flrot to rise, and he spoke in substance as follows: "He felt he owed it to himsell. to his friends about bim, and to the cause ot his Redeemer, to say a lew words, though he did it with, some re luotance. ror more man thirty years he had attended the services of God on that spot, and had listened to hundreds of sermons, lie had been convinced of tbe truths thus set forth, and had no excuse to oiler for so long delaying to give his tersonal attention to the Bubject. He hud never shielded hunselt by iutidelity, or de fended his position by that poorest of all excuses the faults ot professing Christians. Whenever addressed personally ou the subject, as he had often been by friends lioin various parts of the country, he bad always felt him self guiltv before God, and yet he had lived more than City veurs rejectine: God. He had seen the Christian die in the triumph of faith, and had olten stood by avuig soldiers auu longea to speaK some wora of Christian comfort and chetr in their ears. and he could not. lie had stood by the graves of those he loved best, and thought how often thoe lips, now cold in death, had breathed his name to heaven, lie trusiea mat in answer to the prayers of a dear wile, of thoe dear de parted onps, and ot omer near mends, ne had noW tound abiding peace.
