TOR EVERY ONE THAT ASKETH
RECEIVETH."
Matthew vii, 8.
Oh, n< not wraltu
The gnady bnubla glitters to deceive t
It bath a thorn to press thee whon asleep j
H malioth winm, and lrmveth time to wnop
ABk not what wealth can givo.
Oh, ask not famk
The empty bubble breaks at every pnlo j
Its mighty shadow stnlkg in midnight gloom ;
It kills f hero, then it haunts his tomb,
. If Where all its triumphs fail.
O, apk not T.nvR
"Tho fond heart's iilol" breaketh the fund
heart j
His smile is oft deceitful, and its power
Too oft is felt in sorrow's darkest hour ;
Ask not his treacherous dart.
Oh. ask not rowrtt
Seek not a burden that must crush thee
down, '
Look at the thrones of tyrants in the dnst ;
Heboid how frail tho prop in which they
trust j
Ask where their might has gone.
Oh, ask not i.tff.
'Xot oven life itself makes good the name."
ITow oft its victim craves tho boon of death,
When guilt or sorrow yenrus to yield the
breath j
Ask not the fitfnl flame.
Ask for n fkokev heart
A grief for all tho ills thy hand hath done ;
A pang for wasted life, for useless brotWh j
A hope that triumphs o'er the fear of death
Ask, and the goal is won.
Ask for a qpiet mind
A heart at rest from all the jars of strife j
A humble heart, that never soars to fall ;
A heart to bless the Hand that gives its all,
That priceless gift of life.
Ask for a font of tears
The heart to sympathize in others' woe ;
The soul to feel for all the sorrowing here,
And power to point them to a better Bphere,
Where tears can never flow.
Ask for a home m Heaven
Toor, lonely wanderer on life's troubled
sea ;
When wealth, and fame, and tower, are
wrecked and gone,
And all earth's blandishments forever flown
Ask for a home in Heaven, where grief
can never be.

Setting Timothy Fields.
The following sensible and practical direc
tions for setting timothy fluids we find in the
American Farmer, and as the information it
imparts is just now seasonable, we transfer
it to onr columns with our full endorsement :
If you design setting a timothy meadow we
wish to assure you of this truth: It is a
waste of time, labor and money, to attempt to
grow it on any but a fertile soil, without hea
vy manuring. This your own good sense will
toll you is the only rational view of the sub
ject. A meadow set in timothy is destined
to remain in that grass for, say,. five years at
least. It is paid to bo a seven years grass,
but as meadows are treated in our country
they never last that long. If, however, they
were, every second year, top-dressed and har
rowed, they would not only lust during the
longest period named, but continue to afford
profitable crops of grass. Hut. if unaided by
such biennial treatment, as all its annual pro
ducts are carried oil. and each abstracts from
the earth large portions of its organic and
inorganic constituent?, tne sou becomes dcte
riorated, unable to sustain a heavy growth
of vegetation, and, as a consequence, the
great body of the plants, for want of food, die
out.
As to the boil. A moist clay loom is best
adapted to the culture of timothy j though it
will giow ou any fortilo loamy soil whereiu
ttietv'ara lime und potash. Un porous era.
volly, or Fnudy soils, the plant does not thrive
well. On a stiff, dry red clay we have had
it to grow well and produce luxuriant crops
but we took especial puina in manuring and
preparing tho soil for tho reception of tho
seed, and in top-dressing it afterwards.

Louisville Courier pava the following tribute
to the occupation of the runner :
"If a young mau who wants to encase in a

the greatest amount of leisure time there is
nothing better than farming. If ha has an

If he wants to engage in healthy occupation.

Report of the Committee appointed to superin
tend the Hurtling of the Iron Safes, at Read
ing, Felruary 2", 1857.
Ki.adino, March 4.
Tho undersigned, members of the committee.
do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes
originally agreed upon by Earrels & Herring and
bvans & vv nlmiti, placed sulo by side in a fur
nace, viz: The Safe inuse by Iho Paymaster of
the Philadelphia ami Heading lbulroad Compa
ny, in his oliico nt Heading, manufactured by
larrcIsJc Herring, and the Safe in use by H.
A. I.nntz, in his store, manufactured by Evans
& Watson, and put in books and papers precisely
alike.
.The'fire was started at 8J o'clock, A. M.,nnd
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two
cords dry oak and half cbesnnt top wood were
entirely consumed, the whole under the superin
tendence of the subscribers, members of the Com
mittee. The Safes were then cooled off with
water, after which they were opened, and the
books and papers taken out by tho Committee
and sent to H. A. l.nnii s store for public exam
ined and marked by the Committee. The books
and pnpecs taken from '.ho Snl'e manufactured
by Parrels V Herring were in onr judgment,
damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those
taken from Lvaus & Y utson s Safe.
We believe the above to have been a fair and
impartial trial of the rrspecthe qualities of both
Rules.
