Betty Winal, of Tarlton, twenty nine years
ago, bottled a quantity of white currents, in
their green state, she being then in the 33d
year of her age. Having kept them some
time in state of preservation, William, her
husband, and she agreed that they should be
kept while they both lived, and that they
should be made into pies at the funeral of the
one who should die first. The wife departed
this life on the I'd of this month, and was in
tered on the ffth, at St. Peters Church,
Boston. Their mutual pledge was fulfilled,
and the pies made Of these currents, were
served out after returning from church, every
attendant taking slice. Though the currapts
had been kept twenty-nine years, they were
as fresh as if just taken from the bushes

ter. Several tons Of this chopped material
are put into large reservoir and steame"
until the fibre is freed from all grainy or res
inous matters, aid partially separated from
the wood. 1t is then dried and passed through
heating process, which separates the hbrous
from the ligenous portions. The ibrous por-
ton is then stepped in . bleaching compound,

pound is then worked out and the fax cotton
is ready for market. :.
The process is cheap one, not exceeding
two cents per pound. Now, when we take
into consideration the amount of flax raised
for the seed only, the straw of course can be
obtained for mere nominal price, and the
manufactured article can be thrown into mar
ket so soon as to successfully complete with
Southern cotton. @
The change in the relative positions OF
North and South will be immense-will be
incalculable, should the fax cotton become
generally extensive in the North. 1t will
undermine the grand sub-stratum upon which
Southern Slavery is instituted, and will be
more practical in its effects than all the anti
slavery societies put together, because it ap

well, them said the free-soiler when

in mind of the two rival tavern-keepers L

The story is, that somewhere in Southern

whose sign bore the picture of an ass as large
as life 1t enjoyed at one time well deserved
and widely known reputation as good lnn'
and great was his custom.
In the course Of time rival sprung up

its tavern sign was also an ass. -,
The old tavern lost its custom rapidly,
which did not increase the love OF the old
publican for his rival. All manner of means
we're resorted to to retrive the sinking for
tunes of the old tavern. As last resort
its proprietor fell upon the idea that he lost
his custom in consequence of the imitation OF
his sign. He at once set at work to carry
out his motion, and to inform the public which
of the two was the old established tavern.

FLAX CoPFoN,

Several years ago, considerable was said
about fax cotton, but invention after inven-
ton, and excitement have apparently left il
in the shade, and we supposed that the mat.
ter had blown over. We have, however, had
our attention again called to the subject, by
an article in the Buffalo Democracy, and
several samples of veritable fax cotton laid
on our table. The specimens speak for them
selves, and demonstrate that the faxen fibre
is susceptible of being manufactured into an
article equally fine, infinitely moro silky to
the touch, and susceptible Of more brilliant
dyes than cotton. We have specimens Of
white, pink. light blue, light green and straw
color before US.
We learn from the Democracy that. in
New York city, iron and steel machinery and
chemical solvents are producing faxen fibre
which will prove a formidable rival for
the Alabama, if not the Sea Island Cotton.
The process of manufacture is very simple.
The rough fax is cut into appropriate length.

that the former did not cheat him /; SO he, the
purchaser, inspected the weighing of the coal
himself, and felt satisfied that he had got his
full allowance, without any desire on the part
of the coal dealer to shdve. However, while
the coal was weighing, the driver of the team
could not help laughing, aware at the time
that the purchaser was particular about the
full weight Of coal. The purchaser noticing
the laughing Of the driver asked him. wnen

A WOMAN,s ANSWER.

A writer, illustrating the fact that some
errors were lifted into Importance by efforts
to refute them, when they needed to be treated
with wholesome doses Of contempt and ridi-
Guile, observes that " all the blows inflicted by
the Hercvlean club" of certain eminent logi.
clans, 81 are not half so effectual as the box on
the ear of celebrated Atheist by the hands
of beauty" After having in vain preached
to circle Of ladies, he attempted to revenge
himself, by saying, (" Pardon my error, ladies,
l did not imagine that in house where wit
vies with grace, alone should have the honor
of not believing in God"
"You are not alone, sir" answered the
mistress Of the mansion, {" my hores, my dog,
any cat, share this honor with you; only these
poor brptes have the good sense not to boast
of it." 'h"
That there are those now who can skillfully
WELD the weapons of wit, we were reminded
by an incident which recently came to our
notice.
A lady Of our acquaintance hired house
of one who professed to have discovered the
time of the second advent. Two days before
its expiration her rent fell due, and he very
promptly called to receive payment. While
transaoting the business he was careful to
warn her Of the nearness of the great con-
summation, he believed, without doubt,
that the Lord would come ere three days had
passed."
Then you won't care about the little sum
owe you" responded the lady. :" am poor,
and you are rich, it can be of no use to you,
as you have SO much money; and this, if you
take it, according to your belief must be
burnt up in three days. Now, before that
time it can do my family much good--why
not then leave it with me ?"
70 this the landlord would not consent, yet
reiterated his faith, s. in the time" declaring
he had no doubt of its correctness, and that
he was /" dead to the world"
"Dear sir!' exclaimed the tenant, starting
back, "you must mean literally dead, Of
course. I'm glad did not know this before
you called, as I never saw 9 ghost before, and
would have been terrible frig htened at the
thought of seeing one!'
"No, no." replied her caller, somewhat ex-
eited, -" I do pot mean physically dead, but l
am dead to the wGld--becauss / believe the
Lord is coming iiS three days to burn it up"
"Well," said she, ii" I must say that you
are the first dead man ever knew to come
