The “Playcarders.”
Four knaves around the table sat,
As proud as any kings,
And every time their hands were out,
Bright flashed the brilliant rings.
Dupont had dealt the pasteboards gay
To each man, brave and true;
And as t he plug had thus been drawn,
They all commenced to chew.
Le Croix was first, and nobly claimed
To be the oldest man—
This plan is thought to be the best
When the Age has a bold, bad hand.
Montrev was then the one to bet.
He said: “I’m woi .haV
Desmo tde, who p’ayed a bold, bluff game,
Next raised It to a C.
DuDont, the dealer, soon remarked
He had no hand to bet on,
But, just to keep the interest up,
He’d stay and that regret on.
He then planked down two hundred 00l
The Age had long since “squealed”—
And then, of course, the other three
Were, scr to speak, the field.
Exciting then became the-scene
Till each one bet his all.
Exoectant, and with bated breath,
They waited on the call.
It came—so clear, and so sincere—
About it was no wax— ‘
Montrey, with tight closed lips, threw
down . _ ,
Only two pairs—of Jacks.
Across Desmonde’s exultant face
There passed a beaming grin,
As he showed his hand—the aces four—
And raked that good pot in.
How soon he drops the lucre vile!
How brightly burns his blush!
When the sallow glim of the tallow dim
Throws light on a royal flush.
The royal flush was the dealer’s hand—
He hadn’t dealt in vain—
And the four one spots were beaten then,
If they never will be again.

AGENTS WANTED.
Every Family to be Canvassed.
WE want local Agents everywhere, and
one General Agent in each State, for
The Christian Agee,
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
tiau Families throughout 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 ana popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his uameis 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. 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 the
service which they 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 ail
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the wails 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 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 fat 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

GUANO,”
, COMPOSED OP
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 solfi 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. Shepabd, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Bains, 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 DRYEIi, lINER,
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 Sib : In reply to your mqu iry as
to the effect of your EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, cm 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.

This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO forsev

Dear Siß:*Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was tho best 1
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 l have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, 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
tested it with two different brands two
years ago, and tho 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 that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot weather in August proved fatal
