liiplioirEiviENT ix Tit DE.-It is gratifying to
learn that in Paisley, trade has undergone a cox.
siderable improvement withiri. the last few
weeks. Perhaps a 'more general and extensive
demand, for such a variety Of elf;gant and: du-
rable fabrics was .n;!Ver experiented. It is.cer-
tain drat more hands were never employed and en-
gaged with so much industry in the ina_nufacturin-
of these goods. An additional increase of work -
izien is still required, and an uncommon vivacity
is every where manifested. This unusual re-
vival not been, accompanied with any 1113•
teria.l.- alteration hi the • augmentation tif prices,
which may be attributed to various causes, but
the principal one, We believe) to ba the great
number of workmen ; and the habits of close ap-
plication acsiiiired during the late bad:times,
which enable them to throw off great quantities
of goods.--(Glasgow Cbronicle)

TnE.. WEr.sa LEEK.---:-The true origin'of the
custoM, still retained by the Welsh, of wearing
leeks in their hats on St. David's Day, is involv-
ed in much obscurity. However, in the Absence
of all certain knowledge respecting it, conjecture
• has not-been idle. According to One .account,
the practice originated in a great victory..O.liftain-
ed by the Britains over the Saxons, on *ivhich
occasion the former were -distinguished :by the
leek, as the order of St. David; and to wlich the
following English lines appear to allude..
" I I:1;i' the lecke above all herb's and flowers
When, fivst.we wiire the same the held was uses.
The leelie is white and green, whrteby is nicant,
That gritotis are both stoat and Vilizietat ;
• , Neit to the Lion and the Unworn,
The teehe's the fAr,..st emblem that is worn. 7
Another version of this tradition refers the custom,'
to a victory gained by Cadwallawn, near a field
of leeks, Which have, in consequence, ever since
been worn by the Welsh to commemorate the event.
ifklie more plausible supposition, however, of Mr.
4,)itven Pughe is, that the custom originated in the
Cymmartha, still observed in Wales, in which the
farmers assist. each other tn' ploughing their land,
and on which oreasion -every one formerly contri-
buted his leek to the.common- repast.

ON FEEDING CATTLE WITH LINSEED•—.A.:COr..
respondent of the Fttriners' Journa(, who resides
in -Lincolnshire,. state that he.had considerable
success in fattening oxen with linseed. AA the
" Annals of Agriculture," Mr. Moody, an emi-
nent, grazier,.recommends it as infinitely. supe-
rior to oil-cake for stall-feeding and fattetAing.
A London cow-keeper, who made trial with
boiled. linseed, mixing the jelly with grain;,
found his cows improve much in flesh and milk,
but his customers found fault with.the milk,•an
he was obliged' to abandon the practice. It is
supposed that linseed.would-be a cheap and..good
.
trough meat for early ewes and larnbs.-

THE FEAST or Cu ERR L Et;.—There is a feast
celebrated at Hamburgh, called the feast of cher-
ries, in which troops of children parade• the
streets, with green boughs ornamented with
cherries-, to commemorate a Victory obtaiiied

diate destruction, when one of the cit:zens,,•nam.
ed Wolf, proposed that. all the children of the
city, from seven to fourten years of age, shoald
be clad in mourning, and sent as supplicants" to
the enemy. Procopias. Nassus, chief of the Hos-
sites, was so touched mith this Ipectacle,• that he
received the young -supplicants, regaled them
