Selected Poetry.
LEARNING TO WALK.

Only beginning the journey,
Many mile to go; -e..
Little feet, how they patter,
Wandering to and fro:
Trying again, SO bravely,
Laughing in baby glee;
Hiding its face In mothers lap,
Proud as Il baby Can be.
Talking the oddest language
Ever hefore was heard;
But mother you'd hardly think SOY
Understands every word.
Tottering now and falling,
Eyes that are going to cry,
Kisses and plenty of love-words,
Willing again to try.
Father of all, o! guide them,
The patterlng little feet,
While they are treading the uphill road
Braving the dust and heat!
Aid them when they grow weary,
Keep them in pathways blest
And when the journeys ended,
Saviour, OF give them rest.

LINEN MANUFACTURES mo-
crate success has thus far attended the
efforts to Introduce in this country, on
more extensive scale, the manufac-
ture of linen. The report of the Gov
ment Commissioners to enquire into the
practicability substituting flax for cot
ton, offered little encouragement but
the agitation of the subject, in common
with the high price OF the Southern
staple, has no doubt stimulated the
growth of flax throughout the country.
In Canada, fax-culture has received
more earnest attention, the crop having
proved high remunerative as compared
with other agricultural products, and is
rapidly growing in Importance. There
are now three linen factories in this
Province one at Preston, one at Streets
vile, and one at Doon-in each of which
upwards of two hundred hands find en-
ployment during the whole year. In
these are manufactured bleached and un-
bleached linen, sheeting, cordage, &c,
and the goods put into market are pro-
nounced dqual to the imported. There
are also three linseed oil mills, and more
than one hundred scutching mills for
cleansing the flax fibre. Canada papers
speak of the inducements to enlarge this
branch of industry as very strong, the
seed of the fax-plant paying almost as
much as wheat, to say nothing of the fl
bre.
COUGHING HoRsEs.-It is well known
that feeding horses on clover hay often
makes them cough, but the why and
wherefore may not be so generally
known. From observation 1 have be-
come satisfied that the manner of feed
ing hay to horses is the cause. The
usual custom is to let them draw it
through rack; thus stripping off the
line dust which adheres to the stalk,
which, being drawn into the lungs in
respiration, produces the cough. The
cure consists in removing the cause
that is, the racks-and allowing the
animals to take their food in the natural
way. have removed all of mine. and
now feed my horses on the barn floor.
having a breastwork sufficiently high for
them to eat over. In this way they can
be fed on hay without raising dust,
they get none under their feet, and the
labor OF cleaning out managers is saved.
Whatever is left is easily pushed out
with rake into the yard for the cattle.
The dust ON the hay will do the horses
no harm If taken into the stomach.
Since making the improvement above
mentioned IN my feeding apparatus,
am not troubled with coughing horses
There is no patent on my invention. My
brethren can use it freely.-C Correspon-
