THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
The Two Roads,

1t was New-Year's night. An nged man
was standing at n window. lie raised his
mournfll eyes toward the deep-blue sky,
where the stars were floating, like white Ii
lies, OIL the surface of clear, calm lake,
Then he Gust them on the earth, where few
more hopeless beings than himself now mo-
we'd toward their certain goal-tbe tomb.-
Already he had passed sixty of the stages
which lead to il, and ho had brought from
his Journey nothing but errors and remorse.
His health was destroyed, his mind vacant,
his heart sorrowlul, aud his old age devoid
of comfort. The days of bis youth rose up
in n vision before him, and he recalled the
solemn moment when his father had placed
him at the entrance of two roads, one lead
ing into peaceful, sunny land, covered with
IL fertile harvest, and resounding with soft,
sweet songs; while the other conducted the
wandercr into deep, dark cave, whence
there was no issue, where poison flowed in
stead of water, and where serpcnts Kissed
and craweG.
lie looked toward the sky, aud cried out
in his agony, 90 youth, returnl o my
father, place me once more ut the enterance
to life, that may choose the better way"
But the days of his youth and his fatler
ndll DOlll lusSCu uMuls llt euW MuuueIlnE
lights floating far away over dark marshes
aud then disnppear-thesc were the days of
his wasted life. He saw n star fall from
heaven, aud vanish in darkness. This was
an emblem of himself; aud the sharp arrows
of unayailing remorse struck home TO his
heart. Then he remembered his early com
panons, who entered on life with him. but
who having trod the paths of virtue ard Of
labor, were now happy aud honored on Jhis
New-Year's night. The clock in the high
church-tower struck, and the sound, falling
on his ear, recalled his parents early love
for him, their crrng son; the lessons they
had taught him the prayers they had offer
ed up on his behalf. Overwhelmed with
shame aud grief, he dared no longer look to-
ward that heaven where his father dwelt; his
darkened eyes dropped tears, and, with one
despairing effort, he cried aloud, "Come
back, my early days come back!
And his youth did return for all this was
but dream which visited his slumbcrs on
New-Year's night. lie was still young; his
faults alone were real. lie thanked God
tcrvcntly, that time was still his own, that lac
had not yet entered the deep, dark cavern,
but that he was free to tread the road lead
ing TO the peaceful land, where sunny har-
vests wave.
le who still linger on the threshold of life,
doubling which path TO choose, remember
that, when years are passed, and your feet
stumble on the dark mountain, you will cry
bitterly, but cry in vain: o youth, return
. give me back my early days"

English Scenery.


Mr.. Greely in one of his letters, describes
the country through which he passed from
Liverpool 10 London. Tho annexed extract
may suggest some good thoughts to some
persons even in Wisconsin,:
"Thcre were few or no forests, properly
so called, but many copscs, lringcs aud
clumps of wood and shrubbery, which
agreeably diversity the prospect as we are
whirled rapidly along. Still nearly all the
wooded grounds | saw, looked meagre and
scanty, ms though trees grew less luxuriantly
here than with us, (more probably the best
are cut out and sold as fast as they arrive at
maturity"
" Friends at home | charge you to spare,
preserve and cherish some portion of your
primitive forests; for when these are cut a.
way apprehend they will not easily be re-
placed. A second growth of trees is better
than none, but il cannot rival the unconscious
magnidcence and stately grace of the red
mans lost hunting ground, at least for many
generations. Traversing this comparatively
ueeless region, carried my thoughts back to
the glorious magnificence and beauty of the
still unscathed forests of western New York,
Ohio and good part of Michigan, which
had long reioiced in, but which never be-
fore priced so highly.
Some portions of these fast falling monu-
ments Of other days ought to be rescued by
public forecast from the pioneers, the wood
mans merciless axe, aud preserved for the
admiration and enjoyment of future ages"

Exhibition Of the Industry Of all NatiOnS,lSjl'

They come they come
From the far-of ilse, from tho torrid plain,
They hasten to pass o'or the billowy main
They are borne along by the deep seas foam,
BY the wild wind'ssweop o or the wreck d one $
home:
By the fierce tornado in his pride,
Lashing the waves to fiery tide.
With the might of nations on their brow,
With the wealth that hath taught the world to
bow;
The wealth of the mind in its glorious might,
The spols of thousand thoughts of lighti
The rainbow CLEANS Of the spirits wings,
As II rcyels in bliss amid glorious things.
They have gathered the spoils of earth and sea !;
They have pierced the shrincs of their mystery I;
Unveiled the glory of carth's bright things;
Bid music flow from her long-sealed springs,
Till the world doth start from human lips
To hear of tho bright apocalypse.
They have trod the shores Of sunny land,
Where the fcathcry palm-trces clustering stand,
Anu tlt tOtouln VI lulc Nollu Bieuln
On the mulberry boughs, as a starry stream;
And a thousand fabrics rich and rare,
From the golden threads glow brightly fair.
They have been where the clustering columns
rise
In their lofty pride to Italian skies;
And the sculptor's hand hath wrought in might
On the polished marbles stainless white,
Till his soul could see in its spirit CLEANS
Tho life Of its dearest, proudest dreams.
And the forests have yielded their lordly dover,
And the isles that aiar their fragrance shower :
Earth, air and sea have their tribute brought
To swell the stream of tho wondrous thought,
That seeks in our own loved land to shrine
The worlds great soul, as a thing divine.
All hail to the workers on land and sea
All hail as they meet in the isle of the free
Their votivc gifts on the shrine be laid
OF the holicst Ono, in the mercy shade!
And earthly hosanas to Him be given
Who OH human souls sheds powers of heaven.

Flax Cotton in Great Britain.

The London correspondent of the Com
mcrcial Advertiser, suys Of fax cotton:
The use of flax cotton, manufactured ac-
cortling to the process of Chcvalier Claus
sen, is now in progress upon an extensive
scale at Bradford, in Yorkshire, aud at Cork.
in Ireland, large mill owners in those places
having entered into extensive Contracts
The principle Of the invention by which flax
is adapted for spinning upon cotton, wool,
and silk machinery, consists in the destruc-
tiou of the cylindrical character of the fibre,
by the expansive power of carbonic acid
gas. The first process, however, is the re-
moval of the rcsnous matter peculiar TO the
plant. This is effected by boiling il for three
hours in water containing l-2 per cent of
common soda, after which it is dipped in
water slightly acidulated with suphuric acid.
The flax is tlrn thoroughly saturated in a
solution of bi-carbOnnte of soda, and being
subsequently immersed in n solution of sui
phuric acid, II liberation of gas takes place,
which causes the tubes of which the plant is
composed, to split, when the material, in
santly losing its rigidily, becomes light eX-
pansiyo mass of cotton texture, increasing
in size like leavening dough or an expanding
SPONGE Lastly, for the purpose of being
bleached, it is plunged into hypochlorite Of
magnesia, when it Instantly becomes white
A very general opinion prevails that the dis
coyery will lead TO rapid aud extraordinary
resuls.-SiXty tons of the cotton are now
being prepared for the Manchester market

Hemp Cotton,

We were yesterday shown, by Mr.. George
c. Davies, specimen OF hemp so prepared
as TO resemble in every particular the So
called flax cotton, and demonstrating con-
cllsively the capabilities of common hemp
for the manufacture Of the finer kinds oftex.
tile fabrics. The process adopted by MIR.
Davies differs materially from that proposed
by the Cheyalier Claussen, inasmuch as it is
done entirely without the tedious process of
boiling for three hours, and the subsequent
four immersions in alkaies and acids. The
whole of his process is accomplished in two
operations; when, after being dried, the arti-
Gle is ready for the manufacturer. The SAM
pie shown MS was made from the common
unhacked Missouri hemp, aud was prepared
in couple of glass himbiers. The cost per
hundred for manufacturing the hemp cotton
by MIR. Davies process will, he thinks, not ex-
ceed 30 cents per 100 lbs, SO that under al
most any circumstances the prepared hemp
can he furnished to manufacturers about as
cheap as cotton, and thus enable them to
furnish linen goods for nearly the same cost
us cotton goods.
We hope some Of our capitalists will be
induced TO turn their attention to this sub
ject, ns we believe il is destined to work
great revolution in the course Of trade

A Dlgnitary on his own Hook,

The London correspondent of the Courier
and Enquirer, nnrrntes the following incident
attending the Inauguration of the Great Fair :
Conspicuous among the corps diplomdtigue,
and in immediate proximity to the very
throne of Royalty, was person in the COS
tune of n Mandarin, who had assumed the
position MS of right and whom the public
and the officials of the Exhibition believed
to be the Oh 'ncSe Embassador."
This dignitary made the acquaintance on
the spot, aud upon his own introduction, of
the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of An
glgsea, the Archbishop Of Canterbury, aud
many other of the highest persons in the
realm; and was regarded with extreme res
poet by the Assembly, until il was remarked,
that when Inc joined the procession" which
accompanied the Queen, in making the cir
cult of the Exhibition, lis diplomatic breth-
rem seemed rather 10 give the Chinamnn the
"cold shouldeT;" and at length little inqui-
ry aud reflection awakened remembrance
of the fact that there is no such person as
Chinese Ambassador" in London; and the
discovery of most superb iinposture was al
length completed by the circumstance that
gentleman connected with the Morning Post
newspaper recognized in his sol diSdnt En-
cellency 10 less or other person than the
distinguished Mandarin" who exhibits him
self daily in tho Chinese Junk, "at the small
charge ofone shiling;" aud of whose actual
rank aud dignity in the Celestial Empire II
malicious rutnor alleges, oil our only positive
knowledge, TO be such MS we may dcduce
from the fact that His EXcelency first visited
this country in the capacity of ships cook
This discovery, however, was not made until
the ceremonial of "opening the Exhibition"
was concluded, and the Mandarin retired in
peace, having succeeded most brilliantly in
his undertaking, and receiving from the not
yet undoluded crowd outside the building,
the warmest demonstrations of respect and
welcome, as he passed through their ranks
on his way to the official residence" )" in the

A Kennebeck lawyer who had been un-
successful in his defence of an idiotic youth
in criminal trial before Kennebeck Jury,
on plea ofincapacity to distinguish between
right and wrong, was Immediately afterwards
accosted by one of the jurymen vino volun-
teered coincidence, by attempting to satisfy
him that the verdict was a righteous ONE
The attorney assured the juror, that he was
undertaking n work of supererogation; that
he had no complaints to indulge; that altho
his client was evidently non compoS, yet the
constitution had been strictly complied with
