Intra, Mmtra, Cutra, Corn.
BY THE BEV. J, K. NUTTING.
Ten small hands upon the spread,
Five forms kneeling beside the bed,
Blue-eye*, Blask-eyes, Curly-head;
Blonde, Brunette—in a glee and a glow,
Wa.it.ing the magic word. Such a row!
Seven years, six years, live, four, two!
Fifty fingers, all in a line
(Yours are thirty, and twenty are mine),
Ten sweet eyes that sparkle and shine.
Motherly Mary, age of ten,
Evens the finger-tips again,
Glances along the line—and then—
“ Intra, mintra, cutra, corn,
Apple-seed and apple-horn,
wire, brier, limber-lock,
Three geese in a flock,
Ruble, roble, rabble, and row,
Y, O, U, TANARUS,
Out!"
Sentence falls on Curly-head;
One wee digit is “ gone and dead,
Nlne-and-forty are left on the spread.
“Intra-mintra," the fiat goes,
Who’d be taken nobody knows,
Only God may the lot dispose.
Is it more than a childish play ?
Still you sigh and turn away,
Why ? What pain in the sight, I pray ?
Ah! too true: As the fingers fall
One by one, at the magic call,
Till, at the last chance, reaches all.
“Soin the fateful days to come,
The lot shall fall in many a home
That breaks a heart and fills a tomb;
“ Shall fall, and fall, and fall again,
Like a law that counts our love but vain—
Like a Fate, unheeding our woe and pain.
“ One by one—and who shall say
Whether the lot may fall this day.
That calleth of these babes away ?”
“ True, too true. Yet hold, dear friend;
Evermore doth the lot depend
On Him who loved, and loves to the end.
“ Blind to our eyes, the fiat goes,
Who’ll be taken, no mortal knows,
But only Love will the lot dispose.
“Only Love, with His wiser sight:
Love alone, in His infinite might;
Love, who dwells in eternal light.’’
Now are the fifty fingers gone
To play some new play under the sun—
The childish fancy is past and gone.
So let our boding prophec'es go
As childish, for do we not surely know
The dear God holdetn our lot below ?

AGENTS WANTED.
Every Family to be Canvassed.,
WE want local Agents everywhere, ana
one General Agent in each State, for
Tit© Christian Age,
a weekly Jojurn&l of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarlan, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tlan Families througnout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D' 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, wo shall publish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
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 by Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of thq
service which tney attended, or the repro -
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 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 leading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and in all
its "branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the 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 i >oor 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,
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!
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.

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
• COMPOSED OF
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. Shepard, Inspector or
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 IK DLiVER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC 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. G.:
Dear Sir: Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard to vour inquiries about Guano, 1 do
nofthink I gavu 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, S. G.;
Sir • I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO, ’
ind in renlv 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.
Respectfully, B £ BAEKSDALE .

W. G. Busey, Aiken, S. C.: .
Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSbY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales ofcotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel
& Rowland. Very A HILL.
Augusta, Ga., January 27, 1875.
W. Q. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S.C.
Dear Sir: In reply to inquiry as
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.

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. 1
consider it a tirst-class Guano.
Respectfully, J- H. WALKER.

Mr. IF. G. Busey .
I was very much pleased with the Gnano
bought of Daniel & Rowland— BUSEYS

this year if I can get it.

Barnett. Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better thaQ
any I have over tried. Respectfully,
J. A. lAiLUiv.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EX lELSIOR” GUANO forsev
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. pILCHEB
Barnett, Ga., January 30, 1875.
Lear Sir: lused your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have eve. sed;

W. G. 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 over received from any Fertilizer. I
used last year ono ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to Us origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best l have ever found for my hind.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.

W. G. Busey, Esq. .. ~
Djeab Sib : Your favor requiting 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, anil 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, 1 feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully,
