Where the Beautiful Rivers Flow.
BX FATHER RYAN.
Oh, I’ll sing to-night of a fairy land, in the
lap of the ocean set,
And of all the lands I’ve traveled o’er, ’tis
the loveliest I have met;
Where the willows weep, and the roses
sleep, and the balmv breezes blow,
In that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
But oh, alas! how can I sing?—’tia an exile
breathes the strain,
And that dear old land of my youthful love
I may never see again;
And the very joys that fill my breast must
ever change to woe.
For that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
But I’ll sing of the lonely, old churchyards
whei e our fathers’ bones are laid—
Where the cloisters stand, those ruins
grand that our tyrant fees have made;
And I’ll strike the harp with a mournful
touch, till the glist’mng tears will show,
For that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
And I’ll sing of Emmet’s lonely fate, and of
his lonely grave—
Of his early doom, and his youthful bloom,
and his spirit more than brave;
And ah! how blest and calm his rest, tho
his grave be cold and low,
In that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautilul rivers flow.
And I’ll sing of Tone and the Geraldine,
proud Edward true and blest—
They won the crown—the martyr’s crown—
and they sleep in shade ana rest;
In heavenly mould their names are rolled—
they died in manhood’s glow.
For that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
And I’ll sing of Ireland’s -ancient days,
when her sires were kingly men,
Who led the chase, and the manly race
thro’ forests, field and glenj
Whose only word was the shining sword—
whose pen, tho patriot’s blow,
For that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.

A CARGO OF TEA generally pas-es
through the hands of live or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, and, of
course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
i have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “specialty” ot' them in my busi
ness, regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from ClllN A and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from tirst hands, with only
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
1 would say to the public they can rely on
the quality* of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
* COMPOSED OF
Dissolved Bones, 1,300 lbs.
Peruvian Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 “
(Patented.)
I CL AIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
richer in the elements valuable to
the Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Geqrgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Dr.LiEßio,
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 IS DRYER, WNER,
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.

Dear Sir : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
recard to vour inquiries about Guano, I do
not think Igave 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.

Sib : I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,
and in reply will eay 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 sat shed it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.

Dear Sir: In reply to mquiryas
to the effect of your EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that 1 used
about lsQ.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,

Dear Sir: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on ilfteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 460 pounds, i
consider it a first-class Guano. „

I was very much pleased with thei Guano

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 than
any I havd ever tried. j^UtaYL&R
B.iBJTHrr, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I liave use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” 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, it not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since th^ w f^ piLCHER .
Barnett. Ga., January 30,1875.

Dear Sir: Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano* I used it * , k 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 dirt
well, not so well as before; but it was
owiDg to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best l have ever found for my lamL

IV. 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
tested it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
lavor of 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 hrst-class Fertilizer, to bo excelled by
none. allen ,
