The impor tant services which Finx ha rendered to man, hare secured for it a record from th earliest time. It ia frequently mentioned in the Bible, as well a A various Greek and Roman author.' I U culture was introduced into Groat Britain near the end of th 12th century, and cts of v jrariiamani to enoourajre ita prrowin were pnsseti at arjont times. The demand in Ensland ia now muoh greater than the snpply. ' In 1851, the import of textile fabrioa Flax and Hemp into Great Britain amounted to 2,495,672 hun' . dred weight l'rof. W. aaid h wished to rail particular altanlion to thin ; because he found, on inquiry, that although Klnx enter largely into the cultivation of some Vf the, West ana Sonthwesten. States, the seed ia the only mar ketable return wbiob th farmer gets, the straw ' being entirely neglected. Probably some 200,, 000 to 300.000 acre have len cultivated this year, producing, according to th best estimate h could obtain, between wight and ten bushel of eed per aer whioh, judging from the rela tive yield in Europe, would give about one ton of straw to the acre, or a grnaa amount of from 200,000 to 300,000 tons. . These amount are very (mall compared with the capabilities of the districts named. The opinion that Flax is an ixaauW i crop, ha done muoh to retard it cul tor : bat Science shows it to he erroneous. Experiments mad for the - purpose of testing this point, show that Flax exhausts the soil much lex than wheat. . It baa a veiv wide range of soils sandy loam and alluvial soils being the best suited to it cultivation. All th condition required for it successful cultivation are, that th soil be deep, in good heart and in good tilth, wsll drained and free from weeds ; if these ex ist, w may, under ordinary oireumtance(, ex, sect a good crop. ' Owing to the rapid growth of th plant, and tlw consequent shortness of tun rt occupies th land, it oners many oppor tuoitiee to the grower, and admits of more change in the rotation than most of the other farm crops. These rotation vary in every coun try, and, indeed, in almost every 1 wality. and must, ueoessarily, be influenced materially by th soil, the climate, and th general cultivation in relation to the markets of the district. Undor ordinary circumstance, ft is found that th crop succeeds best after corn, or upon recently broken up ground i and- that the crop is not generally so remunerative when it. follow turnips, pot' toes, or other root crops. : The large quantity of organic matter usually applied to su b mips has a tendency to make the flax grow rank ; and although a largaorop ia frequently obtained, the quslity is not an good, and the plant ia more likoly to sustain injury, both from wind and wet, at the time approaching its maturity. The mode of cultivation is too welt known to need more than a passing observatl m. The p. n. dltion and tilth of tb "oil must be speared. About two bushels of tlentitd seed to the in-rc should b (own bmsdeait by the band, or by the broadcast barrow ; jt should then lie eoveri'd jn by a p.ir of Sn harrows, and a lirht hiller ru over it enmpb-te the operatinn. Tbs month . f April is the usual time for getting in seed. After being properly got in, the only care it requires is weeding. It is important that this he dons in a careful and effei-tive manner, a the value of the crop depends nialeri illy upon it cleanness. Tl harvest Mperatinna HiiTi-r litlitlv from the usual crops ; tits pmper'time is determined hv the col orf th straw and of h seed. The strw should have im umn a yellow color imme.lintr. ly unilerthe brunches; and the sed should, on cutting -open the rarvole, be of a pslc brown color. Flax is elwsvs polled up by the mots. These liamllula arc usually laid across each nth. er, and subsequently Ihiuiki up into m ill sheaves: these are set up in circular tnolta, the lintla of each being spread out as much as possible, to allow th air to have free access to them. There ..they remain until sufflcienrly dri d : they are then either stacked in the 6i-ld or at th? home stead ; or th seed is separated at once, and then merely th stem nr straw stacked. Many differ- . nt mode both of slacking and of separolint, the seeds exist ; probably the cheapest anil most efficient Is to pass th straw through plaid roll ers. which crush th eapsrile, and let the straw pass through uninjured. The seed is separated from the capsule or " boll," by winnowing, and th straw remains to be stacked in the usual way.' tinder favorable cin-omatances, we may expect aa avenge crop to produce from 30 to -10 et. of straw and 10 bushel of seed to the acre.- ' :. The crop now becomes divided i th ens por tion the seed is directly serviceable to the far. mrr as a valuable foeding sulaitance, or as a marketable produce in great demand ; tl. other the scrasi is oompsrativcly of littls value iin til it has undergone certain processes, by which its character is entirely changed. 'These'require a series of operations quite different from thine uf the farm, and, in fact, constitute a distinct ' branch of the Sax industry, intermedials be, tweea the grower of the straw and the consumer of its prepared fibre, ithe npinner, - This divis inn f labor greatly benefit the grower, as sup. plying s constant market for an article which e well-organised establishment can diiposo of far more beneficially than he Could dtfnt bom, with Imperfect means, and too often imperfect knowl, adg.

The whule arrangement required r expensive, and occupy but little space. Th straw is placed in a steam-tight chamber, of a suitable aise and shape, the top being' formed by an iron tank nun. taining cold water, and the lower end having a perforated false bottom at about 12 inches from the other. Hteam at a low pressure is then blown from a-boiler, through a pipe into the steaming, chamber, and passing up thnmgh the straw, comes in contact with th iron top, by which it is condensed ; tben. trickling down li.e spike, fixed there as point of dispersion, through the tnasa, it passed through the false.bottom, carry, ing with it tho extractive matter thus dissolved out of the straw, and U drawn off by a waste pipe ihto a vessel or tank below, in which it i presurved for a so as a foeding substance. Thi is continued for from 10 to 12 hours. The straw is tben removed, and is passed through four sets of smooth rollers, which equnexe out about HO per cent, of the water, and at the same time crush the stems, breaking up the central woody core or " shore," and materially assisting its subsequent separation from the fibre. From these roller it is carried to the drying.fcouse, which is bested by steam-i ipes from the boiler, and thence to th scutching frames, where th operation is performed more rapidly and efficient, ly than when the flax i prepared by the ordina. ry no-thud, owing to the thoroughly crushed state" in nhicb it comes from the rollers. The flax is thon ready for market, having passed through the tekutt firvcttt,J'roM He raw material to lie prejMredfbre, in the thorl ipact of abml thuiy. tit Moan. J A soon aa the valnqof this process was dis. covered, another p.-ocens was patented by llu. ehnnan, also of Glasgow, for an improved appli cation of llie same principle. In th.s the steep, itig is effected by rtpatled t'mmcni'uM in a tank of heated water, arrangement bring made by which the temperature is never allowed to ex ceed a certain di-groe a point of great impor. Unco, both as regai-da the abstraction of the asotiiud extractive umiter, and also the quality of fibre produced. Mill anoiher improvement is claimed by Buchanan, in hi meihud'uf dry. ing the steep, d straw preparatory to scutching, which he does by dry warm air driven through the same vst in which the flax was st-eped. Prof Wilson proceeded to speak of the extent of lbs flax culture in different countries. The avomge import of dressed fibre, flax and hemp, into England for the lt ten years, Were 70,000 tone per annum; for lf51 they were I!24,"K4 tuns, abusing an enormous increase ; -this at Ciii -or tmi, mid amount t 4,'J'Jl.iij0 ater. ling, or nearly -5 millions of doilara for these two articles, which could be entirely supplied to lo r Uy lbs United States. Besides this large amount fi.r lil.ru, she requires annually a supply of G'lll.tKM qu irtcrs of liuaeed, to be used as KceiHir for cruliinj purposes this requires an outlay of alaiut Xl.S00.OtiO sterling, wLich goes prin. ip iby to Kursia and th norlliem port This goutnry at present does not supply her own demand for linseed oil, as large impure of seed aie made every year from the same source. The c.ike, however, th residuum of the p -eased !. !, so valuable as a feeding substance for cai. re, is exported in considerable quantities to t i.(,Und, and forms a portion of the large sup ply which she draws annually from other coun, trn s. . This averages about 75,KW tons, and amounts toabnut i00,0lK. Thus a market al teaily i-ii-t in Great Britain for all the surplus flax produce, whether in fibre, seed, or cake, which the United JSt-les will have to export for many years to come. The produce of 00:1,000 acros i required to supply th demand of the United Kingdom ; while in Ireland, during tbe paat year, only I3C.00O acre wer cultivated in flux, and probably not a fourth of that quantity in the rest of the kingdom. Coming nrxt to consider the Flsx manufic ture-of. Wilson said that in England in l5l, the Factory Inspectors' Keport gives tbe number of spindles at 2C.j.5G ; in Scotland, at 303,120 p T i i . tiui tis . r ! ....

In France we find tbe number of spindles to be about 350,000. the establish, nients being situated chiefly in the department Du Kord, Calvados, Finisterre.andPus de ('a Vis. In Belgium there are about lOO.OuO spindles h, operation? the factories lieing at Ghent, .Liege, Tournai, Maliifap, and Brussels. Holland pos. seascs only on factory, of about 6,000. in Frie Innd. Kusis has tw large factories, one at Alexandrofsky. and th nth -r at Moscow, to. gether numbering about SO.OiX) spindle. Au. tria possesses sight factories, with aleiut 30,000 spindle in nperntion. In the State uf the SCollve. rein about 00,0 -0 are estimated to be in msr; and in .Swiiserland there are three or four small ehtablishnients, making between them fnim 8, 000 to 10,000 spindles. t In the United States twelve snisll factories exist, having in operation about 15.000 spindles ; these are situated in the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. . The consumption of flax worked up by these spindles averages about 23 tons per spindles per annum for fine yarns, and about 30 to 50 tons for eoarss yarns. . -Now, reckoning the average cost of buildings, machinery, and motive power at 90s. per spindle throughout, it would -appear that, there is alto gutber a fixrtl capital of upwards of 4X000,000, invested ia the trade, of which sum 5.000,000 belong t Great Britain, notwithstanding thee large returns of machinery in operation at home and abroad, w find that the hand-spun. yarn very far exceeds it In quantity, since, throughout tbe Continent, hand-spinning is still carried onto aa enormous extent. ;. .. - In England, themanhfacture of linen has in-, creased front 45.00O.O0O - de in 1HU3 to 1 10, OCHl.OiK) yards in 130, notwithstanding the enor mous development of the cotton industry during that Interval.

Of ths woven g'nls exported, th markets of the New World take the greatest proportion; those sens to the E intern ilemis. pher beiiisj of trifling amount in comparison.

Love has often more influence than talent The lat appeala to the reason, the first to th affections tbe last speaks to tbe intellect, but th first goes straight to th heart. "It is beau, tiful," exclaims a Swedish author; "to believe ourselves loved, especially by those whom we loirs and value." . Yea, it is beautiful, certainly; but woe to us if ws neglect the responsiblity attached to it. When God permit us to win the regard of others, h places in our hands a sweet and powerful influence, which we should be very careful to use in his service and for his glory. Human affections, sanctified by th di. vine blessing, may he made the instrument of much good, wanting that blessing, it U but a shadow, is without nlo or warmth. A distinguished writer describes a Christian as being like "such a little flower a we see in the spring of tbe year; k-w and bumhle on the ground, opening its bosom to receive tbe plea, ant beams of the aun'a glory; rejoicing, a it were, in a calm rapture, diffusing around a sweet fragrance t standing peacefully and lowly in the midst of other flowSrs." Th world may think Bnthing of tbe little flower they may not even notice it, but nevertheless, it will he diffus ing around a sweet fragrance upon alt who dwoll within It lowly sphere. It has been truly said, the amiable, til loving, and the unselfish, almost insensibly, dissuade from evil, and persuade to good, all who come within the reach uf their soothing power; thai no one can advance alone towards the tiappi. ness or misery of another world; and little can the most insignificant of beings conjecture bow extensive may have been ths beneficial or evil effects which have attended their own apparent, ly unimportant conduct. "In tii heraldry of heaven!" w riles Bishop Hofn. 'goodness precedes greatness;" soon earth-it is often fartnore powerful. The lowly and the hiving may frequently do more iu their own limited sphere than the gifted. To yield constantly, in little things, begets th same yielding spirit in others, and renders life the happier. We must never forget that we are all appniuted to some station which we fill in this life by the wise Disposer uf" events who knows what ia suit-d to our various cspacities and tal ents uiu -h better than we do ourselves, and wh.i would not bat placed us there if He had not finmettmig for us to do. Mow few there are who lire up to their own power of being useful! Earth is our dwelling place, where each has his or her sppointed sphere uf usefulness, their minion of love and duty, as they pass home, ward to heaven. A gentleman, travelling through a part of Wiltshire, where he had not beeu before for many years, could not help observing the pe. euliar neatness and even beauty of the little cottage garden which he passed, and which he did not remember having noticed when he was there last.

I could scarcely believe my senses, it seemed lib a dream, i The. heaviness of the- fee spuke not lightly in favor of bis innooe- re but that was nu sSair of mine. I was to be advocate, nut judge or jury.

' 1 tossed about all on me a miserable fellow. I got up feverish and nervous, I walked out befot breakfast, e'riving to collect my thought, and tranquilis my feelings, ; it was a bright morning I bathed my forehead and my hands in a beautiful running stream, but I could not allay the fever heat that raged within, t return ed to breakfast but could not est A single cup of coffee formed my rpa0 It was time to go to court.

I took my seat looking, I am convinced, more liko culprit. than the rogue I was to defend- W hen the time came fur me to speak, uy heart died within me. 1 rose embarrassed and dis. nun I: and stammered in opening my cause. I went On from bad to worse, and felt as if I was coing down hill. Just then -he public pro, ecutor, a man of talents, but rough in bis man ner, made a-remark on something I had said. It was like an electric spark and ran through vs. ry vein iu my body. In an instant my dittdenee was gone. My whole spirit was in arm.

Even my beardless chia and juvenile countenance was in my favor, for tbe people gave me far mure credit than I deserved. The chance business which occur in our Courts cam, thronging upon me. I wo repeatedly employed in other cases, and hy Saturday night, when tbe court closed and I had paid my bill at the Inn, I found myself with a hundred and fitly dollars in silver, three hun. dred dollars in notes, and a hors which I after wards sold for two hundred dollars more. ; v Novel- did a miser gloat more npon hia pelf and with more delight, i lucked the door ot my room, piled the money In a heap upon my bonds and gated upon it. Was I thinking of th mo, ney T No ; I was thinking of my little wife and home.' . , Another sleepless night ensued : but what a night of golden fancies' and splendid air castles. As soon a morning dswned 1 was up, mounted the borrowed horse with which I hod some fi Court, and led the other whioh I bad received as a fee. ' - Our meeting was joyous as you may suppose ; but I had played the part uf an Indian hunter, who, when he returns from the chase, never for a time speaks of bis success. She had prepared snug tittle rustic meal for me. and while it was getting ready, I sealed myself at an old-fashioned desk in one cor-er, and began to count out my money end put it away.

The applause that followed hud hardly subsided when two pietors were fired. In quick succession, from opposite directions, and in a moment he was seen playinglwitn a bad In each bawl. " You should not Hire without no tice," said lis ; " you mij-ht hsvs killed me ; it was my skill that saved me."

' Bead the followin- extract from a ludy' lettor written in th East t . , 1 fear yuu may deem me rather boastful of my horsemanship when I tell you the two Arab horses which throw their cavaliers did not threw me. Tb causa uf the exception was not, how ever, in me or my skill. It was in the very ra, Biarkable predilection those Intelligent animals feel towards individual) uf ths weaker sex.. Let tlw wildest, the fiercest Arabian, b mounted by a woman, and yoVVtll see him grow suddenly aa mild and obedient as a lamb. I bad plenty of opportunities to make the experiment, and in my own stables there is a beautiful gray Arab which nobudy dares to ride, though he i my daily bearer. He know me, my wishes, th de. free of fatigue I can bear without inconveniene. t is really curious to eee him manage to quick eft his pace without shaking me, and th differ, ent sorts of step h baa invented to realise these contradictory purpose, nurses an as liabl to fiu-getfulnes a any other organised beings; and my incomparable, gray, sometimes; when other horses threaten to pass him, or are once in advance, he forgets eviry consideration snd start off more like a whirlwind than any thing else. Wo to me if, In such circumstan ce, I won to confide hi tbe strength of my arm or of th bridle. But I know better. Leaving my hand quit loose, and abandoning ail thoughts if compulsion, I take to persuasion pat him oa the neck" coll him by hi own name beg him to be quint, and to deserve the piece of sugar wailing fur him at hum. Never have these mesne failed. . Instantly he Will slacken bis pace, prick up his ears and cume back to a oft amblei while with a jremlo neigh he seems to crave my pardon fur Ins mumentcry offence. Such instances of th tender pruthanl of Arab horse for th wcuker part of creation, ara quit common and an generally explained nut a poetical explanation after all by the clroum. stance thai the Arab women are the natural and only yroomt of On stables. When th hors is still a colt, be is reared . in tb bank of the tent, th moveable harem of the Arab. In th third year of his life, be is raised to the honor nf carrying his master, and whea he brings him homo, h is instantly dulivered to tbe women's hands; who wash bis syes, walk him up and down till the foam i fallen from hi mouth and the perspiration from hi lirs'is, Jt is the mas, ter's wife that disencumbers him of the he ivy saddle, tli complicated and adorned bridle, tbe embroidered and gilded covering 8b fostet.t a cord to his foot and take bitn first to drink, and then to feed himself with tbe best bit of grass to b found in th barren country, Thi puts me in mind of story which wa related to m by a Bedouin of fiallile. very fond and very proud, not only of bi own hones, but af the wouie Arabian brood. A young enter bad a precious man ana plenty or enemies, unc b went to plsoc ibres days' distance from k!. .;.1 .. " ,t that of his purpose, and determined to tak hint or at least kill him.

All wo done as tbey had de. signed, but tbe marc never gave way; tli three days' distance was traveled in a day, and more than forty-sight hours before be was expected, bis old blind father, who sat smoking at the en trance of his tent, recognised th well known tramp of his son' mare. 'There's my son com ing back,' said the old man, and he had soaroely Slid tli. words ere hi son dismounted, and. throwing th rein to bis wife, laid his bag of gum oust at uis tatner s Ret, nut in old man thought more of bis mate than of his ion himself. 'Why did you over f.itioe tbe maroT' exclaimed he, in a reproachful voice; 'bring bet to me.' It was dune, the uld man patted ber bead and Said, quite angrily, 'There's blood over ber month. And true it wss. The son explained, that nearly , driven to despair by the obstinate chase of bis enemies, he had harried the mar, or rather allnwod her to hurry herself so that her forefoot rams in contact with her moiilh, and scratched it till h was all bleeding. That night the traveling chief lay down upon bis cloak in a corner of hi tent, to rest himself is well as h could but women, young men, slaves, and even Effsndis crowded around, the man, f-iving her atreogthening beverages and rubbing lor limbs with softening liniment; nor was quiet restored to th trib till th mare had eaten fain, and shown bewelf In full possession ofher imbs. -,; . - ; ,-, ., ;..- ANECDOTE.
