Keeping Lent.
This quaint Lenten poem, written by
Robert Herrick more than two hundred
years ago, points a moral as valuable now
as it was then:
Is this a fast to keep
The larder leane,
And cleane
From fat of veale and sheep ?
Is it to quit the dish
Or flesh, yet still
To All
The platter high with flak ?
Is it to fast an houre,
Or ragged to go,
Or show
A downcast look and soure ?
No; ’tis a fast to dole
Thy sheaf of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soule.
It is to fast from strife
From all debate,
And hate;
To circumcise thy life;
To show a heart grief-rent,
To starve thy sin,
Not bin:
And that's to keep thy Lent.

AGENTS WANTED.

Every Family to be Canvassed
WE want local Agents everywhere, ana
one General Agent in each State, for
Tli© dn i(stillii A(?e,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families throughout the cnuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D 1 D„
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise: and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. Wo
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or tiie reprc
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at s s3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of loading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and iu all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing j
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
in, 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,
and 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!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
Orders. Drafts or Orders should be made
payable to the “Christian Age.’’ Post
Office Money Orders should be made paya
ble at Station D, New York.
Send ten cents for specimen number.

COMPOSED 0¥
Dissolved Bones, 1,300 lbs.
Peruvian Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 “
(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 country,Dr.Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepakd, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
1 refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against met I claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because in each pound
of it there is as mucli valuable material as
in two pounds of any of Ithe cheap rock
phosphates. IT IS DRIER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MA l-
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate ot 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, 8. C-:
Dear Sib : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
retrard to vour inquiries about Guano, I do
not think T 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, i thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

W. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. €■:
Stb • 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. I am sat sfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.
Respectfully, E BARKSDALE.
Augusta, Ga , January 27th, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Aiken. 8. C~: .
Deab Sib: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel A Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSEY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land 1 made nine bales of cotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel
& llowland. Very A HILL.

TV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. C.
Deab Sib: In reply Ur your
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.

Babnett, Ga., January 28,1875.
Deab Sib: 1 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.
Respectfully, J. H.
Wabbenton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. W. G. Busey.
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel A Rowland—“ BUSEY;S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if I can get it.
Ver, TH&XT'WHEELEK.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Deab Sib : 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.
Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EX JELSIOR” 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 the war.
W. H. PILCHER.
Babnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sib : 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a first-class Guano.

TV. G. Busey, Ksq.
Dear Sib : 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. I
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 mv land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Babnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
W. G. 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
te-ted it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
favor or your Guano, and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot weather in August proved fatal
In this vicinity. To those wishing to use
Guano, I feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully,
THOMAS ALLEN.
