The soft night-breezes above them sigh. The world at large cares little for life When once the terrible conflict is done J Ifen only think of the glorious strife Fifty were klllel, hut the victory was won ! Sowing Flax. Flax is usually sown on land which was broken up from grass for a corn crop the preceding spring ; but it may also be sown after a manured crop, though in this case the quality of the fiber will rarely be so fine as in the former case. The land, should have been deeply poughed in autumn, so as to secure a fine tilth. The seed, which should, if necessary, be carefully freed from the seeds of weeds by screening, is usually sown broadcast by the hand, and covered by harrowing with the crass a J . Liarrowe and -fulling nine pecks is the usual quantity of seed for an acre. The flax crop in the north of Ireland, where markets for its sale exist, and where it is cultivated and prepared for sale, is very remunera tive, so much as 20 ($100) clear pro fit, over all expenses, rent of land in cluded, being frequently realized. Unless under very careful managem ent flax is, however, a most precarious crop; and, while, on the other hand, it may be the most valuable which the farmer, can grow, on the other, it may be the most worthless. Hence the extension of it may be the most worth less. Hence the extension of its cul ture beyond the axsgrowing districts should be cautiously undertaken ; and hence, also, the reason for the very contradictory statements which one hears regarding the productiveness and value of the crop. t The above is from the Irish Agri cultural Review and was intended for the sowing of the seed in April in that country ; it will answer for May in our Eastern Middle and Western States, and in Canada. Oak and Iron Clad Ships. In a verbal communication to the London Chemical Society, Dr. Crace Calvert stated that when iron is placed in contact with oak in vessels, the acid acid in the oak rusts the metal. The plan which has been adopted to pre' vent this action, in the English navy, is to place a laer or teak between the iron and the oak. This arrangement, however, did not prevent the corros ion of the bolts " which were still ex posed to the action of the gallic acid in the oak. To prevent this, it oc curred to Dr. Calvert that if the bolts were galvenized they might resist the action of the acid. To test this he obtained a number of zincked bolts and allowed them to remain in contact with oak for a considerable period of time, when he found that the action of the acid was much slower than when the iron was not galvenized, and the iron was also protected from the action of fresh andfsalt water. From this expe riment we concluded that all iron bolts employed for the fastenings of oak timbers in vessels should be galvenize. Scientific American. - " Plant an Apple Orchard. The old ones are fast dyinjj out all through the olden States. They were planted a hundred years ago, or more, have done good service, and ought to have their day. When apples are S3 a barrel and upward, there is not an adequate supply in the country. They can be grown at a dollar a barrel, with profit. The apple crop in a single smali county in this State, was worth half a million of dollars last year. . Other counties, in the older parts of the Eastern States, were under the necessity of paying out a hun dred thousand dollars for this fruit, be cause they had not ; the article at home. Peaches and plums we may be able to ret along without, but apples we must hare for'sauce, for pies, for the desert, and for the dinner basket of little boys and girls who cannot come home from school to dine. We say then to every farmer, plant an orchard of at least a hundred trees. The trees are all ready for you in the nursery, well grown, and grafted, two and three years from the bud. Get thrifty trees, of varieties that you know will flourish in your locality, and in four years you will be eating fruit from 4hem. Do not fail to plant an orchard this very month. American AgTuulturist. Flax Culture and Slacalncry. ' Editors Scientific American : Tt has become an important question for our country, whether flax culture in the Northern and, more particulary, the Western States, could not be brought to rival the cotton culture of tho South if machinery were invented for cleansing the fiber and spinning and weaving it, equal to the machinery used for cotton, ' - According to the history of cotton growing in the South it appeass that tho invention of Whitney's cotton gin and the natural adaptation of the soil were the two great causes which led to the present very extensive cultiva tion of cotton. This was about the beginning of the present century, when flax was considered a very indis pensible crop among our farmers, but it linty product has since been super seded by the cotton of the South per haps only through the invention of the cotton gin. We certainly have a soil in the West which will produce of clean flax 100 lbs per acre more than the best cotton lands of the South can of cotton, and with much less labor, if we except the breaking, scutching and hackling, which should be performed with machinery. In England, the spinning and weaving of flax is now accomplished by machinery with a ra pidity little short of the spinning and weaving of cotton, so that there would at once be a foreign market if the raw material were raised by the farmers of the great West. A machine that would perform for the flax growers of tbe great West what the cotton gin of the feouth does for the cotton grower would be a great desideratum. E, L. Walker. Somerset, Pa., April, 1862. The End of the Pilgrimage. Fear not, thou that longest to be at home. A few steps more and thou art there. Death to God's people is but a ferryboat. Every day, every hour the boat pushes off with some of the saints, and returns for more. Soon, O believer, it will be said to thee as it was to her n the Gospel, "The Master is come and calleth for thee." When you are got to the boundry of you race below, and stand on the verge of heaven and the confines of immor tality, then there will be nothing but the short valley of death between you and the promised land; the labors of your piigrimage will then be on the point of conclusion, and you will have nothing to do but to entreat God, as Moses did, "I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain and Leabanon"- Toplady. Burrs or Scalds. As accidents from these causes are unfortunately of oft recurrence, and most generally fall to the portion of children, a remedy at once simple and always at hand, pro ducing the most beneficial results, cannot be too well known. In case, then, of an accident from afire or any scalding liquid, take lard and flour and make a salve, letting the flour form the chief part- Spread this tolerably thick on pieces of linen or other rag, and apply to the suffering - part, changing often, till all the fire is drawn out. I once knew of a little boy who was scalded on the foot, by the tipping over of a saucepan ; this rem edy was applied with almost, instant relief from pain, and changed for fresh bandages about every ten min utes or less. Every one ought to keep this remedy in mind, and publith it among their friends. It is a solace that God knows ns altogether, and there is nothing hid from him. He knows not only every sin and weakness, but he knows the strength of temptation, and the power with which it has been resisted. He knows every paliating circumstance1?, and when he judges us, it is with all a father's love, and with a fullness of love no earthly father ever felt. He knows all our efforts to overcome sin, and to do faithfully our appointed work. The feeblest struggle he has appreciated, and will not forget. . - When a man becomes a christian he will not be exempt from -tears, from losses, from sickness, cares and death; but he will bear these things with a patience that the world has not; and he will see, overruling these things, a hand that the world does not see; and he will learn that great problem which Christianity alone solves, that out of evil Gel is still educttng good. In the "Legend of the Tre3 of Life," published in New York, in 177G occurs the following: Trec3 and woods bars twice saved the world first by the arle, and then by the cross ; making full amends for the evil fruit of the tree in Paradise, by thai which was bcrns on the tree ia Golgotha." Acquired Beauty Eest. Beauty is an excellent gift of God; nor has the pen of the Holy Spirit forgotten to speak it3prasse; but it is virtuous and godly beauty alone which Scripture honors, expressly declaring on the other hand that "A fair woman, without descretion, is aa a jewel of gold in a swine's snout." (Prov. xi., 22.) Many a pretty girl is like the flower calbd the imperial crown, which is " admired, no doubt, for its showy appearance," but despised for its un pleasant oior. Were her mind as free from prida, selfishness, luxury, and levity, as her countenance from spots and wrinkles, and could she govern her inward inclinations as she does her external carriage, she would have none to match her. But who loves the cat erpillar and such insects, however showy their appearance, and bright and variegated the colors that adorn them, seeing they injure and defile the trees and plant3 on which they settle? What the better is an apple for its rosy skin, if the maggots have pene trated and devoured its heart? What care I for the beautiful brown of the nut, if it be worm eaten, and fill the mouth with corruption? Even so. external beauty of person deserves no praise, unless matched with the inward beauty of virtue and holiness. Iti3, therefore, far better to acquire leauty than to be born with it. The best kind is that which does not wither at the touch of fever, like a flower, but lasts and endurep on a bed of sickness, in old age, and even at death. Gcithald. Anotncr .Monster Can. One of Rodman's fifteen-inch guns was successfully cast a few days ago at the Fort Pitts Works in Pittsburgh. Thi3 is the third casting made of these gun3, and the work will soon be re garded as an everyday performance. The process was as follows: The rough casting in the pit weighs about 78,000 pounds, and nearly forty tuns of metal were melted for the purpose in three furnaces. The furnaces were fired about five o'clock, and at eight minutes past ten the first furnace was "tapped." A line of troughs or "run ners" had been laid from the furthest furnace, some eighty feet, the second furnace, about midway, joining in, and the two streams, emptying, with that from the first furnace, into a large cauldren at the edge of the pit, from which two streams diverged, and pass ing around the pit, emptied into the gun on opposite side3 of the core bar rel. The furnaces were tapped in succession, and nearly all the metal allowed to ran out before the next in order was opened. At twenty four minutes past ten the mold was filled, in just sixteen minutes from the open ing of the first furnace, showing that the metal must have poured into it at the rate of nearly two and a half tuns per minute. Scientific American. Rice Froth. A rich and ornamen tal dish. For oue third of a pound of rice allow one quart of new milk, the whites of three eggs, three ounces of loaf sugar, finely pounded, a stick of cinnamon, or eis;nt or ten drops of almond flavoring, or six or eightyoung laurel leaves, and a quarter of a pound of rasperry jam. Boil the rice in a pint or rather, less of water; when the water is absorbed add the milk and let it go on boiling till quite tender, keeping it stirred to prevent burning. If cinnamon or laurel leaves are used, boil them with the milk, and remove them when the rlcs Is suCIcIenxly done ; if essence of almonds be used for fla voring, it may be dropped among the sugar ; when the rice milk is cold, put it in a glass dish or china bowl. Beat up the egg whites and sugar to a froth, cover the rice with it, and stick bits of raspberry over the top. A correspondent of a Scottish pa per gives to following rule for chooss ing a good potato: "The finest, mealiest, and most nutritious potatoes and always denser and heavier than the soft and waxy. By taking advan tage of this difference in their specific gravity, the light and inferior potatoes are made to swim on the surface of a solution of salt, while tbe heavy and good sink to the bottom." Natural objects have suggested to science the most valaeble inventions. The shell of the lobster suggested the strongtubeto Watt; the earthrrcrm the tunnel to Brunell ; the bird's rring produced the oar; the gyrations cf a hawk, the wheel ; while the plough wa3 founded on intelligent observa tion of certain practices of th.3 pig.
