Jot the
Fretting Jennie.
Little Jennie Fretful,
Sitting in a tree,
Worried at the buzzing
Os a bumble bee.
Said she had a headache,
Wished it wimld be still;
Knew it buzzed on purpose
To defy her will.
Buzzing bee was happy,
Busy at its work;
Gathering stores of honey;
Never thought to shirk.
Never thought of Jennie,
Fretting in tlie*tree;
It was such a bap^y,
Busy little bee.
Jennie grew more fretful *
When it answered not,
Said’t was really hateful—
That was what she thought.
Still the bee kept buzzing,
Glad its sphere to fill;
Discontented Jennie
May be fretting still.
Are there not some Jennies,
Boys and girls, you know,
Who to fret at others
Are not slack or slow ?
Forth to duty, children I
Like the busy bee,
Minding net cross Jennie,
On her fretting tree.
Child’s morning Prayer.
The morning bright, with joyous light,
Has waked me from my sleep I
Father, I own thy love alone
Thy little one doth keep.
All through the day, I humbly pray,
Be Thou my guard and guide;
Mv sins forgive, and let me live,
Blest Jesus, near Thy side.
0 make my rest within thy breast, ,
Great Spirit of all grace;
Make me like Thee, then shall I be
Prepared to see thy face.
Ned’s “Didn’t Think.”
Opening the door of a friend’s house one
day, I made my way through the entry to the
small back court, where Ned, the only son,
was crying bitterly.
“Ah, Ned, what is the matter?”
“ Mother won’t let me go fishing. Harry
and Tom are going to the harbor, and I want
to go.” Here Ned kicked his toes angrily
against the post, to the great danger of his
new boots.
“ Whose little dog is this?” I asked, as a
brown spaniel came boundiug up the garden
walk.
“ It is mine,” cried Ned, in an altered tone.
“ Didn’t you know I had one ?”
“ No, indeed. What a fine little fellow.
Where did you get him, Ned ?”
“ Father bought him for me. He is so
knowing, and I teach him many things. See
him find my knife;” and Ned, wiping away
his tears, threw his knife into the clover.
“There, Wag,” said he, “now go and find my
Knife.” Wag plufiged into the grass, and,
after a great deal of smelling and wagging, he
came triumphantly forth, and brought the
knife to his young master.
“Give it to him,” said Ned, pointing to
me ; and Wag laid it at my. feet.
“This is a knife worth having,” said I;
“ four blades.”
“ ’Tis a real good one,” said Ned ; “ father
gave it to me on my birthday ; and he gave
me a splendid box of tools, too.” Ned looked
up bri 'htly, and quite forgot his crying.
“ Let me think,” said I. “ Was it this knife
that you hurt you foot so with ?”
“ Oh, no,” cried Ned, “that was done with
an axe; but I’ve got well now.”
“ I was afraid you would be laid up all the
spring.”
“ Well, it was mother’s nursing, the doctor
says. “ Mother and father took very great
care of me. It was lonely staying in the
house so; but mother used to leave her work
and read to me, and father often stayed with
me.”
“ I should think you had very kind parents,
Ned.” The boy looked down on the floor,
and a slight pout puckered his lip. “ I sup
pose there are none who have your interest
and happiness so much at heart.”
“ But I want to go fishing,” muttered Ned.
“And can’t you trust them, Ned, and will
ingly agree to their wishes ? You may hot,
indeed, know the reason why they object to
your going; but, from all your experience of
their kindness and wisdom, are you not sure
that they would not cross your wishes with
out good reason for doing so? And surround
ed as you are by so many proofs of their love,
will you sit there and murmur and cry, and
fill your heart with angry and stubborn
thoughts against them, because of this one
little denial of your wants? Is not this a poor
and ungrateful return for all their kindness?
It is little enough that a child can do for a
parent, but that little he ought to do most
cheerfully. I suppose the best return a child
can make to parents is a cheerful obedience.
How small that seems! And will you
grudge giving that, Ned ?”
Ned looked sober. Tears started in his
eyes. “Oh, sir,” said he, humbly, “I didn’t
think of all this—l did’t think of it.”
“ Didn’t think” is at the bottom of a great
deal of our ingratitude and murmuring against
both our earthly parents and our Father who
is in heaveu.— Children's Friend.
Alice and tbe Old Needle Woman.
Alice found an old needle woman one day
resting under the cooling shade of a tree out
side the garden gate.
“Do you want something?” asked Alice.
“ Yes, dear child,” she answered ; “ I want
a new dress.”
“ A’pretty calico?” asked Alice.
“That will too soon fade,” answered the
poor needle-woman.
“A black woolen ?”*asked Alice.
“ That will too soon wear out,” answered
she.
“A silk ?” asked Alice.
“ I have nothing fit to wear with it,” an
swered the needle-woman, and Alice thought
as much.
“A plaid, a beautiful plaid ?” asked the
child.
“ 1 hat will too soon go out of fashion,” an
swered the needle-woman.
“Do you care much about the fashion ?”
asked Alice.
“ I want the dress to last me a thousand
years or more,” said the old woman.
“ Oh !” exclaimed Alice, drawing back, for
she half thought the poor woman was crazy ;
“do you expect to live so long ? A thousand
years is a great, great while, and you are
pretty old now.”
“I shall live longer than that,” said she.
“1 will ask my mother,” said the girl,
much puzzled, “if she knows what dress
would suit you, and perhaps she’ll buy it for
you.”
“ Your mother is not rich enough to buy it,
dear child,” said the old woman.
“ My father is rich,” said she.
“ Not rich enough to buy me the dress I
want,” answered the old woman.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA„ TH URSDAY, MARCH 5, 1868.
“ Do you want to dress like a queen V’ ask
ed Alice.
“ No; but I want to dress like a king’s
daughter!”
“ The old needle-woman is crazy,” thought
Alice to herself: “she talks so queer! I don’t
know where you will get such a dress,” said
she aloud—“something that will never fade,
never wear out, never go out of fashion.”
“And never get soiled or spoiled,” added
the old woman ; “wear it when or where you
may. it will always keep white and shining.”
“Oh !” was all Alice could say. Tin n she
added, “I should like such an one, I am sure.
Could a little giil have one ? But a little girl
would outgrow hers.” 4 /
“ No,” said the needle-woman ; “ the dreSs
would let itself out to suit you always.”
The. child was lost in wonder. “ WilKyou
please tell me what it is, and where. 1 can get
one ?” she asked.
“ It is the garment of salvation, the robe of
righteousness, which Jesus Christ has wrought
out for you and for me, dear child,” said the
old woman, tenderly. “ Christ came to take
away the poor rags of our sins, and to put on
us his pure white robe, and make us fit to be
the children of God, lhe great King, and live
in his palace for ever. Should you not like
to, dear child ?”
“ Yes,” answered the child, “ I do want to
be one of God’s children 1 always wanted
to. Will He give me a heavenly dress, do
you think ?”
• Trust in the Lord.
Down came the snow in great fleecy flak<s,
faster and faster, filling the air, covering the
trees and house-tops, and growing deeper an<J
deeper upon the ground. The clouds, which
before had chased one another across the sky,
had grown thicker and darker, until now they
seemed to be but one dense mass, through
which no sunbeam cr uld penetrate.
Across a wide field came a little girl with a
basket on her arm, and only a thin shawl over
her shoulders, to protect her from the cold
and the wind. Her face was pale, and showed
signs of want and suffering, and as she walked
along she vainly tried to keep the snow from
her eyes with her poor, benumbed hands.
Annie Foster was the eldest daughter of a
widow, who toiled hard day and night to leed
and clothe her five children. Annie was a
great comfort to her mother, and when she
could not help in her work, she would do er
rands for her, carrying her sewing back and
forth to her customers, and assisting her in
many little ways. Mr. Foster had died but’
a few months before, and after his death An
nie’s mother had moved to a little town,
where she»earned a scanty livelihood by tak
ing in sewing from ladies living there.
Annie, though she had been on errands in
almost every direction, was still not perfectly
acquainted with all the roads. On this par
ticular afternoon, she had been a long distance,
to the house of a lady where she had never
been before. Soon after she started to return
home it began to snow, and, in order to short
en her walk, she had turned from the road
into the fields; but, half blinded and confused
by the snow, she turned in the wrong direc
tion, and wandered about until she was so
tired she could hardly walk. She thought at
first she was going the right way, but by and
by surrounding objects began to look very
strange to h-'r. She surely did not remem
ber that old crooked tree, or that broken-down
fence, and soon she came to the side of a little
stream she had never seen bes re. Then the
idea suddenly crossed her mind that she was
lost. She thought of the anxious mother,
and the little brothers and sisters who would
be waiting for the supper she was to bring
them. The tears capon into her eyes, and she
felt ready to sink to the. ground in despair,
when she remembered a text she had heard
her mother read that morning :—“What time
lam afraid, I will trust in thee.” Silently
lifting up her heart in prayer to God, she
started oft'in anew direction. Before she had
gone very far, she saw a bright light ahead of
her, and, on following it, came to a black
smith’s shop. The smith was standing at the
door, and she went timidly up and told him
her trouble. He was a kind-hearted man ; so
he bade her come in and get warm, and then
directed her how to find her way home. Oh,
how glad Annie was to be there once more,
and how she enjoyed the nice supper which
she had stopped at the store to buy ! But in
the midst of all her joy, she did not forget to
thank the kind Friend in whom she had trust
ed, and who had brought her home in safety.
May our young readers ever remember that
best of Friends in all their times of trouble.
The Child and the Berries.
“ Look, papa,” cried a child, “ at the berries
I have found.”
As his little girl said it, she showed her
father her basket half full of them.
Why did he start, and ask, “have you eaten
any of th*m, my child?” ,
“ No, papa.”
“ Not one ?”
“ No, papa, not one.”
He was very pale, as though some great
sorrow had touched him ; but he murmured,
“ Thank God !”
“Give them to me,” he said; “every one.”
“ Every one, papa ?”
“Yes, every one; I must fling them all
away ”
“Fling away my pretty black berries that
I took so long to find ?”
“ Yes, dear child, they are poison.”
There were tears in her eyes; but she gave
them up; and he dug a deep hole in the gar
den, flung them in, stamped them to pieces,
and buried them.
“ Why, what are they ?” she asked.
When he answered he said, “They are the
deadly night-shade.”
Hast Thou, O Father, ever taken away the
berries that it took us so long to find ? We
know Tnou didst it in mercy ; but it was hard
to thi k so then.
Gi.ve us faith to trust Th©o in this, or any
thing else Thou mayest do.
Resisting Temptation.
A little boy five years old, was one day
taken by his aunt to a druggist’s shop, and
there he observed an almond which had fallen
from the counter on a seat just below it. He
wished very much to take it, but knowing
that it was not right to take that which be
longed to another, he walked to the shop door.
Still however, he could not help thinking of
the almond; he returned and looked at it,
touched it with his finger, and then went away
again. But Satan, who is always ready to
tempt children as well as grow n up people to
commit sin, put it again into his head how
nice the almond would be; it was only one,
it could never be missed. So he walked
again toward the seat; but calling to mind
the commands of God, was heard to say to
himself: “ Thou shalt not steal,” and imme
diately going away from the place of tempta
tion, he remained at the door of the shop un
til his aunt was ready to go home with him.
Dear children, pray that you may be en
abled to follow the example of this little
boy.
“.Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you.”
“ Enter not into temptation.”
Got to Jesus. —Dear children, I want to
tell yofl of a little boy who went to the Sun
day-school with whuh lam connected. As 1
was going out one day last winter, when there
were many awakened ones asking, “ What
must I do to be saved?” a little boy, nine or
ten years old, put into my hand a slip of pa
per a couple of inches long, which 1 have care
fully 'preserved. As children were in the
habit of handing me papers in I his way, I did
not read it till I got home. 1 then found upon
it, written in a very crooked manner, these
words : “ Mr. Wells, I’ve got to Jesus ! Tve
got to Jesus!" I don’t know who the boy
was ; I never could find out; but he had found
the sum and substance of the whole gospel.
That little boy had got to Jesus.

Death and Buriat of a Japanese in New York.
It has already been stated that Ha-yalvta-,
kee, the leader of the Japanese troupe re
cently arrived in New Yoik, died in that city
a few days ago of heart disease. The New'
York Sun thus describes the honors paid to
the deceased by his companions:
At the head, two lights and three cups—
one containing rice, one water, and the third
crackers—were placed together, w ith a paper
containing the name of the departed chief.
On Sunday the body was covered with white
linen, on which was laid the passport and
other papers of the deceased. Late in the
afternoon the body was placed in a black
rosewood coffin, fined with white satin and
having silver clasps. The name, age, etc., of
the deceased, were engraved on the coffin
plate. All his best silk clothing was laid on
the coffin, and all will be deposited in the
grave together. He is the first Japanese
that ever died in New York.
■The Japanese believe in the transmigra
■ tion of souls, and that the souls of those who
die the death of the righteous will take pos
session of a human body, while the souls of
those who die after a life of wickedness will
be condemned to reside in the bodies of infe
rior animals, and the worse the life the worse
the animal. The companions of the deceased,
numbering twenty four, feel his loss severely,
and refuse to be comforted, and to eat. They
sit on the floor, praying and mourning, and
swaying their bodies to and fro, not speaking
above a whisper, f>r fear of disturbing the
repose of the deceased. The most to be pit
ied among the number is the blind and aged
mother of the deceased, who was compelled
by the laws of Japan to accompany her son,
he being her only support. His wife and
tw'o children have been left a widow and or
phans in a strange land. They believe that
his soul will remain among them for seven
days before it is consigned to its future abode,
and they will not cease to mourn his loss for
forty-two days. Ha-yah-ta-kee was well to
do in Japan, and was the proprietor of some
houses and land. The body was taken to
Greenwood Cemetery on Monday morning
for temporary interment in the Strangers’
Receiving tomb. No funeral ceremonies, ex
cept the prayers and monotonous canting of
the relatives, took place, owing to the fact
that no minister of their faith is iri this coun
try. The company will not perform at pres
ent, their religion requiring them to spend a
month in prayers and funeral ceremonies out
of respect to the memory of the dead. On
the return of the troupe to their own coun
try, the body will be taken with them. All
the Japanese, adults and children, attended
the body to the grave, together with a small
number of Americans.
Consumption of Meat in European Cities.
Dr. Vacher, editor of the Pal is Gazette
Medicate, has>ecently published an interest
ing pamphlet on the food supplies of Paris,
London, Vienna, Berlin, and Turin. It forms
the appendix to an essay on the prevalent
diseases of 1866 in those cities.
In 1866 the abattoirs of Paris yielded 120,-
904,877 kilogrammes of beef, veal and mut
ton, while 24,824,109 kilogrammes were
brought into the city by railway in the form
of viandes depecees, or viande a /a main, as it
is termed. Pork was consumed to the extent
of 18.176,164 kilogrammes, of which half
came as viande ala main. This distinction
i% important, because in the one instance the
meat is subject to a close inspection; in the
other it passes to the consumer without any
sort of guaranty that it is fit for food. Dr.
Vacher has ascertained that a great deal of
the dead meat sent to Paris comes from de
partments where malignant pustule, rot, and
spleen disease, reign endemically; and that
the cattle owners do not hesitate to admit
that, when a disease attacks their herds <>r
flocks, they make haste to kill the sick or sus
pected animals and send the carcasses off to
Paris.
The progress of hippnphagy is shown in
the statement that the first shop for the sale
of horse flesh was opened in Paris on July 9,
1866, and already there are upwards of sev
enteen such shops in different parts of the
city. In twelve months 2312 horses were
slaughtered, yielding some 600,000 kilos.
There were also killed in the same time 78
asses and some mules. Is it possible the car
casses were for consumption? At Vienna,
1954 hordes were slaughtered in 1863, yield
ing 341.950 kilos of meat; at Berlin, 1507;
and at Turin, 73 were killed in 1865.
It is said that every horse destined for food
is examined by an inspector, and to the en
lightened zeal in this respect of M. Pierre,
veterinary surgeon, Dr. Vaeher attributes
the success of hippophagy in Paris—a success
which would be. augmented if the butchers
who sell the horse flesh were relieved from
some of the heavy charges which now press
upon them, and if the authorities would cease
to appear embarrassed, as though ashamed of
the legal patronage accorded to this new
branch of industry.
The mean annual consumption of meat of
all kinds (exclusive of game and poultry)
amounts in Paris to about 78 kilos, per hnad
of population; in Vienna, to‘B7kilos.; in Ber
lin, t<> 60 kilos.; in Turin, to 24 kilos.; and
in London, “ou le biftek est un mets destitu
tion nationale,” to 109 kilos. In addition the
Londoner consumes about five times as much
fish as the Parisian or the citizen of Berlin or
Vienna.
About 345,000 kilos, of fish, and 1,886,000
kilos, of poultry and game go to complete an
aggregate*quantity of 167,000,000 kilos., in
round numbers, as the consumption of meat
in Paris during the year 1866, which would
give 92 kilos, (about2oo pounds avoirdupois)
for every inhabitant.
Not Seeing it —The excellent father
borne, an Episcopal missionary on the line of
the Illinois Central Railroad, went to Effing
ham, in “Egypt,” which is in a prairie open
ing, surrounded with timber. A band of
hunters with their guns in hand, came in to
the Sabbath worship, ami stacking arms, sat
down. A cripple also came and stood his
crutches against the table, which served as the
school house pulpit. Asthegood man was turn
ing over the pages of his sermon, the dogs were
heard chasing a deer out of the woods. Every
huntsman seized his piece and started in pur
suit. In despair the preacher closed his man
uscript, saying, “cripple, it’s all in vain.” “I
don’t see it so, parson ; I think the dogs will
catch the deer'' was the response.
Letting One Cheat Himself. — I remem
ber what a witty acquaintance of mine said,
some twenty years since, of certain persons
engaged in trade, who were of the denomina
tion of Quakers —and none the worse tor that,
I hope. He said : “ They are the most dan
gerous of dishonest men. They will never
cheat you, not they ; but by the helpof plain,
friendly, and apparently sincere mknners, they
will manage so that you will cheat yourself.”
The person who said this was the poet Hal
leck.— W. C. Bryant.
Lessons in Business.
Mr. Jonathan Sturges, an old and successful
merchant of New York, at a recent banquet
given to himself, made a speech which con
tained these three lessons for young men :
One of the first lessons 1 received was in
1813, when 1 was eleven years of age. My
grandfather had collected a fine flock of
merino sheep, which were carefully cherished
during the war of 1812-15. I was a shep
herd boy, and my business was to watch the
sheep iu the fields. A boy, who was more
fond of his books than of sheep, was sent
with me, but left the work to me, while he
lay in the shade and read his books. I finally
complained of this t(f the old gentleman. I
shall never forget his benignant smile as he
replied : “ Never you mind ; if you watch the
sheep, you will have the sheep.” I thought
to myself, what does the old gentleman mean?
I don’t expect to have any sheep. My aspi
rations were quite moderate in those days,
#id a first-rate merino buck was worth SIOOO.
I could not make out exactly what he meant,
but 1 had great confidence in him, as he was
a judge, and had been to Congress in Wash
ington’s time; so I concluded that it was all
right, whatever he meant, and went out con
tentedly with the s|f£ep. After I got to the
field I could not get'the idea out of my head.
Finally 1 thought of tny Sunday lesson:
“Thou hast been faithful over a few things;
I will make thee ruler over many things.”
Then I understood it : Never you mind who
else neglects his duty ; be you faithful, and
you will have your reward ! I do not think it
will take many lads as long as it did me to
understand this pjrdfjerb.
I received my second lesson soon after I
came to this city, clerk to the late Ruman
Reed. A merchant from Ohio, who knew
me, came to purchfeSV goods of Mr. Reed.
He expressed his grvfjiication at finding me
there, and said to in|-: “ You have got a good
place. Make yoursHf so useful that they can
not do without you” I took his meaning
quicker than I did the proverb about the
sheep. Well, I wofked upon these two ideas
until Mr. Reed offered me an interest in his
business. The first mtfhiing after the co-partner
ship was announced. Mr. JamesGreery, the old
tea merchant, called f j see me, and said to me:
“ You are all right n , ! W : I have one word of
advice to give you; *e careful who you walk
the streets with.” That was lesson number
three.
In this connection I must repeat an anecdote
told of the late Robert Lennox. A country
merheant came into store of Mr. Morton,
a highly respectabk'RjJUtcb merchant, to pur
chase goods. He about credit, refer
ences, etc.; Mr. Morton said: “I will give
you what credit you vTsh.” “ But,” said the
merchant, “ I am ad Jin tire stranger to you.”
Mr. Morton replied f “Did I not see you at
church with Robert Lennox ?” “ Yes, I was
at church with him.’*' “ Well, I will trust any
man whom Robert Lennox will take to church
with him.” ,
Mr. Geo. A. Kefly, of Marion, demon
strates very satisfactorily, that iron factories
can be built up and rjiade lucrative in Texas.
Numberless acres unoccupied lands are
waiting the appearance of farmers to work
them, and nothing b# honest labor, energy
and enterprise is needed to make Texas al
most a paradise. ’
The Tyler Reports says the grasshoppers

days in countless nutters, a, *d gardens, tur
nip patches, etc., hav L su [T«red seriously from

cost of picking.
Font Thousand j Acres of Tennessee
Land Bought for /-Vineyards. —Mr. Wil
liam Rogers, lately ja successful wine maker
in Ohio, has recently purchased about four
thousand acres of land on Cumberland inoun
tain, adj'lining Beeisheba Springs, in this
State, upon which, in connection with several
other families, he wijj next spring open large
vineyards for the culture of grapes and wine
making. The soil of the Cumberland moun
tains is peculiarly well adapted to the culture
of grapes, and experiments have shown that
for producing abundance and richness of the
best varieties, is fully equal to that of' Kelly’s
Island, or the renowned Los Angelos region
in California; while the climate, for the rna
king of wine, is scarcely inferior to the most
favored latitude. Mr. Rogers, we believe, is
an Englishman, a v«ry intelligent and good
citizen,
The report of tfce Commissioner of the
Land Office shows that seven million acres of
the public lands hate been disposed of during
the past year. There is still remaining,
1.400,000,000 acres, including the recent!)
acquired Russian Territory. The Commis
sioner argues that the United States are now
3,000 miles in advance of England on its
route to China and Japan and the Indies,
demonstrating, in this connection, the neces
sary diversion of that foreign trade to this
country, and its effect on our public lands in
the Pacific slope and the Mississippi Valley.
There are 37,000 miles of completed railroad
in this country, which, since their commence
ment, is at the rate of a thousand miles a
year, while the number of miles in course of
construction, is 17,810.
The Bank of England, whenever a coun
terfeit of one of its notes is presented at the
counter, it is stated, instantly pays over the
gold to redeem it. If it conies from some
known person, he is only asked where he got
it. If from a stranger, the cashier signals to
his detective, alwajsin waiting, and the officer
follows secretly. Before many hours, the
bank is in possession of the stranger’s biog
raphy. The offender, once arrested, is likely
to be tried, convicted and sentenced in a very
summary way.
The Scuppernong Grape. —“ The grape of
the Southern States, is destined,” says a writer
in the Scientific American . “to revolutionize
grape growing, and wine making in America.
|jt has no equal, much less a superior in pro
ductiveness or quality. It never rots, never
mildews, never fails to bear immense crops.
A "vine vfill 1 ive for a hundred years, bearing
yeai%, after two years of age, from twenty
to fiftjPbushels of grapes, yielding from fifty
to one and twenty gallons of wine.
It needs no training, no pruning, no trellising.
There are three varieties, the white, black,
and golden-hued, each making an excellent
wine but of a different color.”
Beef—Cutting up and Ppeserving, —ln
cutting up beef for salting, regard should be
had to the size of the pieces, and their relation
to each other wljen put down. In other words,
a family resemblance should be pursued in
the different strata, as placed in the barrel.
When designed for family use, it will be found
convenient to cut itito pieces suited to a day’s
consumption. Fof preserving meat the N.
E. Farmer says: Pack the pieces in casks,
giving a slight sprinkling of salt between each
piece ; cover with a pickle by boiling together,
in four gallons of water, eight pounds of salt,
three pounds of brown sugar, three ounces of
saltpetre, one ounce of pearlash, for one hun
dred pounds of meat. Keep a flat stone on
the meat, that it may be immersed in the
pickle. Put down in this way, beef will keep
a year, and rather improve by .age.

Will materially advance their interests by investing
money in the FLOUR OF RA W BONK, made by the
Oakley Mills Manufacturing Company, Marietta, Geor
gia. J. F. NUTTING, Agent.
W. L. MANSFIELD, Secretary.
Every one who has carefully considered the subject
knows that Bone is a first rate manure. The difficulty
has beeu heretofore that a pure article of unmixed bone
dust could not be obtained. Now the article is supplied
bv a home company in your midst, who have, at a heavy
outlay, erected a large Manufactory, and put in ma
chinery that takes the raw, unsteamed, unburned Bones
and crushes and pulverizes them to dust, and this is
done in so plain and public a manner that any one who
will take the trouble cau see that it is genuine Raw Bone
and nothing else. Do you know that the farmers of
England have been greatly enriched by bones collect
ed in the Southern and Middle States and sent
across the Ocean to be ground and used as manure?
This is a fact, and one not very creditable to the enter
prise of our own people, for, if they can make it profit
able to take these bones thousands of miles over land
and sea to enrich their soil, we ought certainly to be
willing to use them at home, where no such long trans
portation is required.
FLOUR OF RAW BONE is the cheapest, most relia
ble and most powerful fertilizer in the market. The
very best Super-phosphates are indebted almost entire
ly to the bone they contain for their virtues, but are
more than half made up of other materials, many of
them utterly worthless, while it is a generally admitted
fact that most of the 6uanos in the market are very
largely adulterated.
The imperfect condition in which bone has been nec
essart'y used heretofore, by reasou of the impossibility
of reducing it to fine powder, has been a serious draw
back to its use and value Now, however, this difficul
ty is effectually overcome, by a recent application of
machinery which reduces raw bone to the condition of
flour.
The value of Raw Bone is thua increased fully
one hundred percent., making it as rapid in its action
as dissolved bone, and much more durable. Raw Bone
is one-third organic animal matter, yielding upon de
composition four and one half percent, ammonia. The
rapid-decomposition set up by reason of the minute di
vision of particles disengages its earthy phosphates, ren
dering it immediately effective.
We warrant our Flour of Raw Bone to be perfectly
pure, and will give absolute guarantees to that effect.
This article hastens the ripening of all crops, it gives
strength to the stall: and weight to the grain, it promotfs
the growth ami health of trees and improves the flavor of
fruit; it does not exhaust, but permanently improves
and strengthens the soil. In dry seasons it is well known
that' the use of Peruvian Guanc is ruinous to crops,
while Flour of Raw Bone can be used with the same
advantage in dry seasons as in wet.
Flour of Raw Bone contains, by the analysis ol Dr.
A. A. Hayes, of Boston, and Dr. Leibig, of Baltimore,
411.23 per cent. Phosphate of Lime, and 33 per cent, ani
mal matter, yielding 4 S4 per cent. Ammonia-more
than double the amount claimed for most of the fertili
zers in the market. A more recent analysis, at our re
quest, by Prof. John Darby, of East Alabama College,
at Auburn, gives of Phosphate of Lime, 50.47 per cent.;
Organic Matter, 34.26 per cent., yielding Ammonia,
4.85 per cent.; Carbonate of Lime, 4 percent. Prof.
Darby writes us: “One hundred pounds of your Bone
Flour is equal in its fertilizing power to three Ihousaud
pounds gmid stable manure.”

LIPPINCOTT’S MAGAZINE
—or—
LITERATURE\ SCIENCE AND EDUCATION.
Under the head of LITERATURE, will be included
an original NOVEL, by a writer of high reputation and
acknowledged talent; and numerous shorter TALES,
SKETCHES OF TRAVEL. HISTORY AND BIOGRA
PHY, ESSAYS, PAPERS OF WIT AND HUMOR,
POETRY and MISCELLANIES.
For those who prefer more solid reading, it is pro
posed to give one or more articles in each number, pre
senting in a clear and popular style, the latest discove
ries in various branches of SCIENCE ; for this purpose
arrangements have been made which cannot fail to make
this portion of the Magazine at once useful and attrac
tive.
EDUCATION, a topic of the highest importance in a
country like the United Stales, where the safety of the
nation depends upon the intelligence of the people, will
receive special attention.
It is not proposed to engage in partisan or sectarian
warfare, but vital questions of the day will not be neg
lected ; and the FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
condition of the country will be handled by an author
who, to a practical knowledge of business mid banking,
has added a lifelong study of the science of Public
Wealth.
Contributions to the pages of the Magazine are solici
ted from all parts of our common country. American
writers and American affairs will claim the greater part
of the space at command, but not to the exclusion of
European topics. The Publishers’ first choice ot a wri
ter upon the politics of the Old World was a Statesman
and Historian, now residing in London, an acknowledged
leader of lhe Progressive Party in Europe, and one who
“is recognized in France as the purest master of style
among living writers; graceful and delicate in descrip
(ion, keen in satire, simple and. imposing in his giaver
eloquence;” and they have great pleasure in announc
ing that he has accepted the propositions made to him,
and will be a regular contributor to the pages of the
Magazine.
In addition to the above features, each number will
contain a paper entitled OUR MONTHLY GOSSIP,
written in a geniai style, in which Notes and Queries,
Answers to Correspondents, Anecdotes and Miscellanies
will find a place.
The Department of the LITERATURE OF THE DAY
has been confided to a gentleman of great experience
and an unusual knowledge of books.
