CLOVER AS A MANURE.--"A crop OF clover
is worth great deal more for manure to plow
it under than il is to feed it to stock. Every
animal eating ton Of clover Keeps back a
large portion Of IL in bone and muscle, and
converts much of it into carabonic acid gas,
all Of which would otherwise be retained In
the soil. From this we conclude that one oil
the best modes of enricbing soil is to plow
10 green crops, especially clover. 1t should
be done when the clover is ripe, as 1t is worth
more at that time 1t saves barns, cartDg
and recarting and keeps the soil in healthy
condition, very much like new soil. III you
let the clover ripen, the ground will be so
plentfully filled with seed that it will not
need restocking. We glorify men who build
expensive barns and cellars in which to save
manure, when we should grorify the man who
has no barn at ALL" So says New. York
farmer.

SONG OF THE sEwxNG-MA-
CHINE.
BY GEORGE r. MORRIS.

I'm the Iron Needle Woman
Wrought of sterner stuff than clay
And, unlike the drudges human,
Never weary night nor day;
Never shedding tears Of sorrow,
Never mourning friends untrne,
Never caring for the morrow,
Never begging work 10 do.
Poverty brings no disaster
Merrily glide along,
For no thankless, sordij master,
Ever seeks to do me wrong:
No cxtortioners Cypress ms,
No insulting words dread
I've no chill Iron TO dispess me
With unceasihg cries for bread.
I'm Of hardy form and feature.
For endurance framed arght
I'm not pale mislortune's creature,
Dcom'd life's battle here TO fight:
Mines a song of cheerful measure,
And no under-currcnts flow
To destroy the throb of pleasure
Which The poor SO seldom know.
In the hall hold my station,
With the wealthy ones of earth,
Who commend me to the nation
For economy and worth,
While unpaid the female labor,
In the attic. chamber lone,
Where the smile Of friend or neighbor
Never for a moment shonc.
Ny creation is a blessing
To the INDECENT secured,
Bnuisbing the cares distressing
Which so many have endured:
Mine are sinews superhuman,
Ribs Of oak and nerves of steel
I'm the Iron Needle. Woman
Born 10 toll and not to feel.

READING, March 4.
The undersigned, members of the committee,
do respectfully report, that we saw the two, Safes
originally agreed upon by Farrels d Esrsiag snd
Evans s. Watson, placed side by side in a fur
race, viz: The Safe muse by the Paymaster OF

ny, in his office at Reading, manufactured by
Farrels IL Herring and the Safe in by II.
A. Lantz, in his stOre, manufactured by Evans
& Watson, and put in books and papers precisely
alike.
The fire was started at 81 o'clock, A. NJ, and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two
cords dry oak and half chesnut top wood were
entirely consumed, the whole under the su1erin-
tendence of the subscribers, members of the Com
mittee, The Safes were then cooled of with
water, after which they were opened, and the
books and papers taken out by the Committee
and sent to. n. A. Lantz's store for public exam.
ined and marked by the Committee. The books
and papers taken from :he Safe manufactured
Dy Farrels d Herring were in our judgment,
damaged fully fifteen per cent. more than those
taken from Evans g. Watson's Safe.
We believe the above to have been fair and
impartial trial ofthe respective qualities of both
SaSes.
