Swearing Alona.

A gentleman once heard laboring
man swearing dreadfully in the pres
ence OF "A number of his companions.
He told him It was a cowardly thing
to swear so in company with others.
when he dared not do it by himself
The man said he was not afraid to
swear at any time or in any place.
"Ill give you ten dollars" said the
gentleman, "il you will go into tho
village graveyard at twelve o'clock to
night. and swear the same oaths you
have just uttered here, when you are
alone with God.
agreed said the man: "it is an
easy way of earning ten dollars."
"Well, you come to me to- morrow,
and say you have done it and the
money is yours
The time passed on. Midnight
came. The man went to the grave
yard. 1t was night OF pitch dark.
ness. AS he entered the graveyard,
not sound was heard; all was so
still. Then the gentleman's words,
alone with God, came over him with
wonderful power. The thought OF
the wickedness OF what he had been
doing and what he had come to do,
darted across his mind like fash OF
lightning. He trembled at his folly.
A fraid to take anoter step he fell on
his knees, Und instead OF the dread.
ful oaths he came to utter, the earnest
cry went up, God be merciful to me.

The next day he went to the gen.
tleman, and thanked him for what he
had done, and said he had resolved
not to utter another oath as long as
be lived.

"I.ittle Dam Brook.-

A Clergyman seeing little boy Mt
play in small stream by the road
side, inquired for his father.
"Ie's over to the little dam brook, "
exclaimed the lad.
"What!" said the reverend gentle.
man, shocked at the boys profanity.
Cant you speak without swearing?"
"Well, he is over to the little dam
brook. any how" persisted the boy,
as he went spattaring through the
water and mud alter butterfly
"He's been over to the little dam
brook all day, it you don't believe it
you can go up to that house and ask
mother"
The Clergyman sought an inter
view with the mother Immediately,
and complained Of the profanity OF
her child. After telling her, bowev-
er, what the lad said, she laughingly
informed him the "little dam brook, -
was a title by which the stream was
called TO distinguish it from big
dam brook" situated few miles fur
ther to the Eastward.
He now felt that he had wronged
the boy, and therefore owed him an
apology. Hurrying back to the spot
he exclaimed:
"Boy, l wronged you in accusing
you Of swearing; but you should have
told that "little dam brook" was only
the name of stream, and / then
would not have scolded you.
"Well, faint no NATTER" said the
happy youngster, as he held aloft a
struggling frog that he had speared
with his mothers clothes stick

Preparation OF Flax.

A French manufacturer, named
Bertin, has invented what is report
ed to be successful method of dis
pensiug with the sleeping Of fax.--
After the fbers have been crushed
in the ordinary way, Mr.. Bertin sub.
mits them to new process, that OF
friction between two channeled tables,
which has q sideway as well as to and
fro motion; in fact, the action il sim.
liar to that OF rubbing the fbers he
tween the palms of the hands, but
considerable pressure and with great
rapidity. The fiber is afterwards
beaten in water, which carries off every
particle of woody matter and leaves
the flax completely unbrokeu and in
parallel masses The principle OF
friction tables Las been employed by
NJ. Bertn in other cases, aUd is said
to furnish an economical, rapid, and
perfect mechanical action.
The same gentleman has adopted
new system of chemical sleeping to
get rid of tie resinous and ether mat.
ter which attaches the fibers togeth.
er, which is said to produce the re
required effect in less than two hours,
at cost of about Is. Sd. per cwt.
leaving the fax nearly white, but the
particulars are not given. BY NJ.
Bertin's system, it is affirmed that
the yield of flax from IL or 15 to 20
or % per cent. of the gross material.
Lastly, NJ Bertn collects the refuse
beneath his crushing machine, burns
it in his boiler furnaces, and uses the
ashes md water in which the fax 10
steep d as manure, giving back as
he atlirms, the whole OF the mineral
salts and azotised matter contained
in the crop, and the cost Of 40 much
artificial manure saved to the eultiva-

a man or woman now twenty years
old will be alive. Ninety years!--
Alas! how many of the lively actors
ut present on the stage of life will
make the exit long ere ninety years
shall have rolled away! And could
we he sure of ninety years, what are
they?--"A tale that is told; dream,
an empty sound, that passeth on the
winds away, and is forgotten" Years
shorten as man advances in age; like
the degree in longitude, mans lie
declines as he travels toward the fro
zen pole until he dwindles to a point,
and vanishes forever. Is it possible
that life is Of so short duration?--
viii ninety years erase all the golden
names over the doors in town and
country, and substitute others in their
stead? viii all the now blooming
beauty fade and disappear. the love,
hope and Joy pass away in ninety
