BE THOI READY.
" Keep thy l imp ail trimmed and burning,
Burning for ih* evil limir,
l.estthe foe night fii d thee !eepini "
T Ilempstted.
Be thou ready, fellow mortal,
In thy pilgrimage of life,
Ever ready to uphold thee.
In the toil arid in the strife ;
Let no hope, however pleasant,
Lure thy footsteps from the right,
Nor the sunshine Jeave thee straying,
In the sudden gloom of night.
Be Ihou ready when thy brother
Bows in dark affliction's shade;
Be thou ready when thy sister
Needs thy kindness and thy aid ;
Let thy arm sustain and cheer them—
They have claims upon us all—
And thy deeds, like morning sunlight,
On their weary hearts shall fall.
Be thou ready when the erring
List to sin's enchanting strain ;
Ready with kind words to woo them
Buck to virtue's path again ;
Be thou ready, in thy weakness,
To do good to friend and foe,
As thy Father sheddeth freely
Light on all that dwell below.
Be thou ready for the morrow,
W hen delight shall plpase no more ;
When the rose and lily fadeth.
And the charm of song is o'er-
When the voices of thy kindred
Faintly move thy dving ear—
Be thou ready for thy journey
To some higher, brighter sphere.

Difference between Iron and Steel.
Steel is iron passed through a process
which is called cementation, the object of
which is to impregnate with carbon. Car
bon exists more abundantly in charcoal
than in any other fusible substance, and
the smoke that goes up from a charcoal
forge, is carbon in a fluid state. Now, if
you can manage to confine that smoke, and
put a piece of iron in'o it for several davs,
and heat the iron at the same time, it
would become steel. Heating the iron
open* its pores, so that the smoke or carbon
can enter into it.
'I he furnace for this purpose is a coni
cal building of brick, in the middle of
which are two troughs of brick or stone,
which hold about fottr tons of bar iron.
At the bottom is a large grate for the fire.
A layer of charcoal dust is put upon the
bottoms of the troughs, then a layer of bar
iron ; and so on alternately until the troughs
arc lull. '1 hen thev are covered over
with clay to keep out the air, which, if ad
mitted, would prevent the cementation.
Fire is then communicated to the wood
and coal with which the furnace is tilled
and continued until the conversion of iron
into steel is completed, which generally
happen* in about eight or ten davs. This
is known by the blisters on the bars which
the workmen occasionally draw out in or
der to determine whether they have under
gone the proprr change. When the eon
version is completed, the fire is then left
to go out, and the bars remain iti the
furnace about eight days or more to cool.
The bars of steel are then taken out,
and either sold as blistered steel or drawn
to a convenient size, when it is called tilled
steel by breaking tiie liar* into short pieces,
and welding them together, drawing them
down to a proper size for use.
