QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICE.

We find in the New Hampshire Patriot,
the following paragraph:

Here is one of those sudden and unadvis-
ed outbreaks, which sometimes disclose The
STATE Of feelings, and the Ultimate de,ermi-
nation OF a parry. ''What claims has any
Federalist to an Office under this admiuis-
traiion?" Now this is The very spirit of ia
cobiniSm-tae ultraism Of that ~impudence,
which has always a wonder at he existence,
of virtue, where vice has worked itself into
a majority.
What right has a Federalist 10 an office
under this administration? The right of
having we'll and faithfully discharged the du-
Ties of that Office; lie right of being of the
county for whicn thai Office was Instituted.
Is it p9rty alone that gives right to ofice?-
Then the Federalist has a rigntto it by beiog
ofthe parry of Washington, The fa;her of the
nation. Perhaps it is the Treasury Depart
meut! Then he has a party right. as being
of the party OF Hamilton, the founder aud Or
derer Of that department; the MIN who, with
a mind that has never since been eqnalled,
so arranged that department, that in all the
mutations OF patty, no Sec etary has ever
been able 10 change lis p'ans for the better.
Bu:, perhaps, The Patriot MEANS what
right has a Federalist 10 Office under an anil
Federal administration? il so, then the
worst form OF ~Jacobalical piracy is svowed.

for character, habits, or pufsuirs--it is enough

OPP FELLOWSHIP IN ENGLANp.-The week
ly contributions of the Odd Fellows are two
or three pence from each member. Some idea
OF the magnitude of the association in that
country may be formed from the fact that the
amount of money in the treasury of the or
der does not fall short of seventeen millions
dollars, and the annual distribution in relief
TO the members and other charities in ST.
100000. The number of members is about
100000. The sums expended for charita.

means of subsistence for fifteen thousand fam.

The following paragraph respecting Amer

fiom tie last of N. P. Willis's letters from
London, now in the course of publication in
the New York Mirror:

JUST SENTIMENTS WE'LL Elk
-PRESSED.-A little more than a year ago,
the Albany Argus, an Administration paper,
in some remarks upon tae subject of a war
with Mexico, and the belIigerent lone of a
portion of the political press aud certain dem
agogues Of the day, said:
SIT would be we'll for such politicians to re-
member that war is not as popula ar as in form
err times. People begin to reflect and com
pare lis results before they plunge INTO its
miseries. 1t is perceived that wars under
taken for the extension Of dominion exall
the leaders and managers, while they crush
and impoverish the masses.
"Trappings of the war-horse and the gilt
ter of armed legions tickle the fancy and
please the eye, but the people see that they
place aladen weight upon the hand OF honest
labor. 1t is for this reason, that true states
men regard war undertaken for such selfish
purposes AS N OF II GREATEST EVILS THAT
CAN AFFLICT a COUNTRY"

The gold corn in the field
And the asters in the meadow,
And the heavy clouds that yield
To the hills crown of shadow,
Mark the ending of the Summer,
And the autumn coming in,
A crimson-eyed new conner,
Whose voice is cold and thin, ..
AS he whispers 10 the flowers,
"Lo, all this time is ours "
| remember long ago
When the soft June days were wasted,
That the Autumn and the snow
In the after heats were tasted;
For the su!try August weather
Burned the freshness from the trees
And the woods and ], together,
Mpurned the winter, that must freeze

Which fed our summer dreams,
Through the yellow afternoon

At the husking sings the maiden
While without. the winds are flowing
Like long aerial waves,
And their scythe sharp breath is moving
The flowers upon their graves.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH
ASHES.

Mr.. EpIToR:-l have just got through
with soap-makiLs, aud as nsua have a
large quantity Of lcached and unlcached
ashes on hand. How shall use them 10
the best advantage in the garden.
A FEMALE READER.
Without stopping 10 give detail of the
chemical composition Of wood ashes, we
shall give practical reply 10 our esteem
cd correspondent. Esperimenthas seem.
ed 10 show, that. for the purpose Of tillage,
leach, d ashes are just as good as unleach-
ed. So that housewives may have all the
use Of their ashes for soap, aud then en-
ploy them in the garden. Leached ashes
become better by bring exposed for some
time to the air. absorbing from the atmos-
phetc the ferlilizing qualities. (carbonic
acid!)
So valuable are ashes regarded in Eu-
rope. that they are frequently hauled by
farmers from 30 miles dislance-and OH
Long Island they bring eight cents a
bushel.
The ashes Of different kinds Of wood are
Of very unequal ,alue-that of the oak the
least. and that Of the beach the most valu.
able. The latter wood constitutes two
thirds Of the fire wood of this region. and
the ashes are therefore the very best.
A coat Of ashes may be laid. in the
spring, over the whole garden, aud spaded
in with the barn.yard manure.
They may he dug in about goosbcrry
aud current bushes.
They are excellent about the trunks oil
fruit trees.
They may be ihinly spread over The
grass plot in the door yard, as they will
give vigor and deeper color and strength
10 the grass.
Ihave usually added ahou, one shovel
Of ashes 10 every twenty in making q
compost for flowers, roses, shrubs, &c.
Ashes are peculiarly good for all kinds
Of melon. squash, cucumber vines. This
/ is well known to. these who raise watel
melons on burnt fields, on old charcoal
pits, &c. We have seen statements o.
cucumbers being planted upon peck O
pure leached ashes, in hole in the ground
and thriving with grea, vigor. The ashes
Of vines show great amount OF potash
and as wood ashes afford this substance
abundantly, its use would seem TO be indl
Gated by theory as well as confirmed b,
experiment.
i lastly. whenever ground is liable Z
suffer severely from drought, We woul'
idvise a liberal use Of ashes and salt.
