“ Josephine.”
We did not meet in courtly hali,
Where birth and beauty throng,
Where luxury holds the festival,
And wit awakes the song;
We met where darker spirits meet,
In the home of sin ana shame.
Where Satan shows his cloven feet
And hides his titled name.
‘‘ And she knew she could not be, love,
What once she might have been,
But she was kind to me, love,
My pretty Josephine.”
We did not part beneath the sky,
As warmer lovers part—
Where night conceals the glistening eye,
But not the throbbing heart;
We parted on the spot of ground
Where we first laughed at love,
And ever jests were loud around
And lamps were bright above
“ The heaven is very dark love,
The blast is very keen,
But merrily rides my barque, love —
Good night, my Josephine!
She did not speak of ring or vow,
But filled the cup with wine,
And took the roses from her brow
To make a wreath for mine,
And bade me when the gale should lift
My light barque o’er the wave,
To think as lightly of the gift
As of the hand that gave—
‘‘Go gaily o’er the sea, love,
And lin'd your own heart’s queen;
And iook not back to me, love.
Your lonely Josephine 1”
That garland breathes and blooms no
more—
Past are those idle hours—.
I would not, could 1 choose, restore
The fondness for ihe flowers.
Yet, oft their withered witchery.
Revives its wonted thrill,
Remembered, not with passions sigh,
But, oh! remembered still.
“ And even from your side, love,
And even from this scene—
One look is o’er the tide, love,
One thought with Josephine.”
Alas! your lips are rosier—
Your eyes of softer hue—
And I have never felt for her,
As I have felt for you.
Our love was like the bright snow flakes,
Which melt before you pass;
Or the bubble on the wine, which breaks
Before you kiss the glass.
“ You have seen these eyelids wet, Love,
Which she has never seen—
But bid me'not, forget, Love,
My poor, lost Josephine.”

Our Editor-in-Chief,

oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, aud as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his oameisa tower of strength

eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called, to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasseAing that, in point of Edi

Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the

same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is

THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.

its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of tho drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
ia, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to-advantage,
ana give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF
Dissolved Bones, 1,300 lbs.
Peruvian Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 -k
(Patented.)
I CLAIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
richer in the elements valuable to
the Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the oountry.Dr.LlEßia,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepakd, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
I refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against me. I claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because In each pound
of it there is as much valuable material as
in two pounds of any of the cheap rock
phosphates. IT its DRKER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORi IAN IC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate of Lime in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

W. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S. C.:
Dear Sib : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard to your Inquiries about Guano, I do
not think I gave BUSEY’S GUANO a fair
trial. I put half as much of it to the acre
as I did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same. 1 thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

W. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C.: . .
Sib • I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,”
and in reply will say I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam satisfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.

W. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. G.
Dear Sib : In reply to *§
to the effect of your •“ EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
* M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Dear Sib: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.

Mr. W. G. Busey.
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel <fc Rowland — BUbEY S

this year if I can get it.

Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I nave use
“BUSEY’S EX 3ELSIOR” GUANO for sev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since th ™' pILCHER .
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir: 1 used your Guano*last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;

W. O. Busey, Ksq. .
Dear Sir : Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was the best I
ever used in my life, making the best yield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. 1
used last year one ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best I have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
W. 0.-Busey, Esq.
Dear Sir : Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is at hand. I made no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
tested it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
favor of your Guano, and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows tbat it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot woather in August proved fatal
in this vicinity. To those wishing to use
Guano, I feel no delicacy in commending it
as a lirst-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully,
