National Adpocate, he correct, land we

other machines contrived to prodace

Napoleon, knowing the superiority
of linen, over cotton goods, and finding
that the difference ia the cost Of the two
fairies consisted in the different me-
thods practiced in spinning the raw MAJ
terials, offered in the year 1908, a pre-
MUM of one million of francs. to any
person of any nation, who should in
vent machine for spinning flax, and
thereby bring the commodities moro
| nearly to par value.
This offer caused great excitement
in the minds OF inventive men, and nu.
merous attempts were made, both in
Europe and America, TO effect the OBJ
iect for which the premium was to be-
given, but all proved fruitless during
| Napoleon's reign, and therefore the
premium was not, and neyer can be OBJ
tanned.
About three years since Messrs. Hunt
6, Haskins, of this state, perceiviug the
vast importance of speedy method of
spinning flax. commenced their expert
mentS in machinery, to effect, If posi-
BILE, the object they had in view; since
which time they have been constantly
and exclusively employed in this busi~
ness. and have, during that period,
made upwards Of fifty different ma
chimes for the required purpose, and
their exertions have at length, through
their genius ard perseverance. been
crowned with complete success, as can
be seen by an examination of one Of
their machines now in operation at the
Shakespeare Hotsl. c6rner Of Fulton
and Nassau streets; for the machine
clearly and conclusiyely demonstrates.
that a thread troin FAX can be made al
cheap as another of equal quality can
be made from cotton, and as the cost OF
weaving the one is tine same as that OF
the other, unbleached linens can be
produced as low as unhleached cottons
Of equal quslity.n-sNIlss.

Shall we not seek it, and weep no morel
Is it where the flower Of the orange blows,
And the fire-Aies glance through the myrtle bonghs r
mot there, not there my child!'
"Is it where the feathery palm-irees rise,
Aud the date grows ripe under sunny skies,
Or midst the green island Of gliterng seas,
Where frag ant forests perfume the breeze,
And strange bright birds, on their starry wings,
Bear the rich hues Of all glorious hngs2,
"Not there. noI there my childo
ais it far away, in some region old,
Where the rivers wander o'er sands Of gold?
Where the burning rays Of tile ruby shine,
And the diamond lights up the secret mine,
And the pearl CLEANS forth from the coral strand
Is it there, sweet mother, that better land I"
'Not there, not there my childl'
"Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy!
Far hath not heard its deep songs ofjoy;
Dreams cannot picture world So fair
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom,
Far beyond the clouds and beyond the tomb.
1t is there, it is there my child!"
