Practical Christianity
7n a little work by Gail Hamilton,
just published, that clever lady gives
her idea‘of a Christian as follows:
If you wish to know whether yotrare
a Christian, inquireof yourselves wheth
er, in and for the love of God, ypu seek
to make happy those about ydu with
stniles and pleasant ° sayings? Is it.a
matter of concermbent when you sit
down to your breakfast, to say a bright
word of sympathy or endearment. or
playfulness or cheer to your wife, your
son, your (laughter ? Do you give Tom
my a preliminary toss as you place him
to his high chair, or do you praise Kit
ty's first awkward attempt to - smooth
herown hair? Do you notice the,' little
arrangements that have been made for
your - comfort and convenience? Do you
compliment - the cook on the nice coffee,'
or 'the light buckwheat cakes, or the
betilitiful brown toast which she sets be
fore you—particularly if the cook bears
,your own name? When the cat puts up
her soft paw to remind you \that she is
there, does your hand slide down toryb
her fur, and thus make her happier for
'your treatment of her—or, if a law .of
'the Modes and Persians forbids her the
dining-room, do you throw her a bit of
bread to console herexile? Is the faith
ful dog rewarded by his share, not only
of food, but. of favoritism? if' you
have yourself unconquerable aversion
to cats and dogs, do you still see to it
that their lives are not a burden to hem?t
It you meet a child crying in the street, '
do you not him?
Do
to console
Do you ever buy a penny's worth of can
dy for the ragged boy who is looking at
it with eager, eyes through the shop
window on Christinas_eve? Do you take

[For the Agitator.] _
Educational.
I have a little desire to appear in the:
public newspaper, for the public good_ ,
And I have thought the Agitator -thes'
best, medium for the acconaplishnientsof
my purpose. I want to speak to the
minds and hearts of the school Directors
of the , village Of Mansfield, and the
Directors of the'district of the town of
RieMond, who have charge of all the
scheols in the town. s
It is ,well known to these School Di
rectors, that there,is a"district adjacent
to the village of Mansfield without a
School House, and a school—that during
the last.._
,r the children iii this 'dis
trict-- esve not had any advantages for
mental improvement. This is a disgrace •
to the town of Richmond;and it shows
that the School 'Directors are sinfully
lax in their duties. To pectnit the
children of any district in -this or any
other district for a year to be without a
school, is certainly wrong add fileit.sures
-should be immediately taker to rectify
t l ,
that wrong. But what is be ng,done to
obviate this inattention to th . education
of one of the largest districts in the
-town-of Richmond ? As f'r as I can •
learn, there is nothing atoll. No meass
urcs are being adopted ib%. rectify this
evil, and another year is: likely to pass
away, and the children of this district
left out in t.lib cold, as has been the case
the - past year. What does this all mean?
Look at the children, growiilg tip in ig
norance—walering about without a
'school house \ here theysearrre instruc
ted—without a home where they can be,.
educated, and the people of this town
, and county can sec what is meant. Thifis
is a serious matter to contemplate. Her
right under the shadow of the Stat
ormal School, is a district without
ehool house or a 'school t , The childre '
aresslesing the precious opportunity fo
that iihprovement which ought to b
afforded them, and thus being injure
for life. .
.
This evil, however, can be very easily
obviated by the Directors of the village'
of•Mansliehl, and the Directors of the
town of Richmond, consolidating the
district in the village,- and - the one of
which' we have- been speaking in one
district, and in this may form a graded
school. This is just what is needed, and
what would be a great blessing to both.
The school house in the village would
answer for such a purpose, at least for
the present, and in this way many advan
tages would result to the children of both
districts. The character of the school
would thereby be elevated, whichwould
better comport with the literary advan
tages of the place:
Mansfield is favorably known for its
-literary advantages, and the people in
the yillsge, and the county around
_have 4aiid largely to earn this reputa
tima ' Now let *cm- add one More
laurel lo their witath of honor ins
' tiblishing a good graded school, which
-they can easily do. 1 -,et the terms of
this school be the 'Sat to as those of the
Normal School, and the best of teach
ers be engaged to take charge of it.—
This we owe to our children and the
community in which we live. This
will he cheap in them to let our chil
dren grow up in ignorance, which is a
fruitful &pa) cc Of many evils. This will
also be_cheaper to the people, than to
build 8i i olher ',school house, and support
two independent district schools, it will
afloat far greater advantages to the
. scholars. , I repeat, therefore, to the
Directors of these two districts to adopt
this measure for the purpose of econo
my, and for the elevation of the charac
ter of the school, and the honor of the
town find village.

Flax Manufa i dam
Iti thl! early history of this country
flu was an important item which en
: tereki into its manufactures. Our good
aratalnliothers considered a knowledge
orziiiiiind weaving an indispen-
No "'ita!binplishinent, and evey girl
lietedti nto the practice of these
lion , i , hold•arts. In those days cotton
aas :.cat rely known,- and our cloths
were listens and woolens, both the
produo,t of hard-work. The raw fabrics
hvere carded and prepared for mann fact
me by hand, for a Jong period, but
carding machines were finally intro-
II need, with converted wool into "rolls"
which were spun by hand, and stibsc
cinently woven by the same means.
ltit no machine was invented to pre
pare the Ilax, and its manufacture was
continued by hand ill its use was su
ps eceded bv cotton.

cle the weaving wa_done by hand, the
yarn Ll..lng spun )y machinery and
then di-tributed thr uighout the coun
try to be woven. A ter this, the man
uttietuvi, of flax almost entirely ceased,
and .w hen in the progress of cotton
mane factures the power-loom w
adopted, rho question was settled, and •
Matt LICIIV( tiro , of 11:1 1 4x were`only to be re
membered. The fabrics, however, sur
vived, and remained a fitting tribute to
the industry and -manual ' - ,-of the
mothers and daughters of the generation
that has passed.,_Occasionally, - now,
there are fatuities where the linen has
descended and is treasured as a legacy.
Mnelt of this old linen has furnished
lint and bandages for our noble, army.
Within a fe,w years the attention of
mannfaaurcrs has been directed to the
possibilities of again resuming the.
manulhe r ture of flax, by machinery.
Considerably difficulty has been exper
ienced in reducing the fiber to a-pfoper
state to be operated upon, add nume
rous experiments have been instituted: \
Various degrees Of - success haveattended
these efibrts, and there is a good pros
pect that the culture and manufacture
of flax will, ere long, bceomo an impor
tant element in our industry. We were
not aware that so' great progress had
been made, and such avvietyofartieles
had been manufactured, till we 'saw, a
day or two since, at the office of oOver
nor Smith, several kinds of goods made
from flax Ilber, spelt as carpets, heavy
'crash and seamle'Ss bags, the other ar
ticles being introduced to show the,
applicability and value of the fiber,
tlargo'qua`tititiesnf it, till recently, being
thrown awity after the seed had

rseertred.
