A Prayer for Lent.
“ And when He had fasted forty days and
forty nights, He afterwards ahunger
ed. And when the tempter came to Him,
He said. If thou be the Son of God com
mand that these stones be made broad.
Prayer and fasting, oh, my Father,
Nearer let me come to Thee;
Let the angels whisper ever
In my ear, Gethsemane.
Ah, mj’ baffled heart has fasted
Till it fasts with hungry pain;
Yet if Thou will feed me, Saviour,
All my loss I count as gain.
Humbly let me kneel before Thee,
WiUgsifTeetion crucified.
Wil spirit contrite, broken,
HeSfofl of all its human pride.
Keep my tongue from evil speaking,
Keep my ears from foolish praise,
Keep my heart from Satan’s whispers,
Keep my feet in wisdom’s ways.
Thou, who seest all my weakness,
Thou who knowest I am dust,
Pity me, and keep my treasures
All untouched by “ moth and rust.
When thou wert ahungered, Saviour,
Satan whispered in Thy ear,
Now unto my human weakness
He is standing very near.
And when in the cold, blind darkness
Ci ies my hungry heart for bread,
Close the tempter draws unto me—
Offers wayside stones instead.
Kingdoms of the world he shows me,
Fame, and wealth, and human pride,
Tempts me to forget the anguish
Of the holy crucified.
Ah, the kingdoms spread before me,
Royal castles in the air,
Gleaming turrets full of grandeur,
Hidden chambers of despair.
Lead me, Father, for I stumble,
Satan’s hand is very near,
And a btoken reed he offers
While he whispers in my ear.
Bids me know Thou art above me,
Far i.eyond my human cry:
Taunts me with my desolation;
Bids me curse Thee, Lord, and die.
Close and closer, oh, my Saviour,
“ In the shadow of Thy wing,”
Let my wearied spirit nestle
With the peace that faith can bring!

I CL AIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
richer in the elements valuable to

Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Dr.Liebig,

also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
1 refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in tho 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 DR¥EK, IINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains m< ire ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,

W. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S. C:
Dear Sir: Yours of the-26th at hand. In
reg'Urd 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 tho same. 1 thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.
Respectfully, a than FILLER,

Sir: 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 sfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.

Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSEY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales of cotton.

W. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. C. .
Dear Sir : In reply to your mfiuirv 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 410
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respecttuHy,
. M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Dear Sir: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, whi made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a lirst-class Guano.

I was very much pleased with the. Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland—‘ BUsLY S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if I can get it.
Very truly, yours,

Barnett. Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used sever.il other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any 1 have ever tried. Vyl&R
BabKHTT, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Thi* is to ertify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
oral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronouncb it fully equal to any, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since th^ w £; pILCHEB .
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir: 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a lirst-class Guano. tITTT}T , T) _,

IV. G. Busey, Esq.
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. I
used last year one ton, and whilo 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 foundjfor my land.___
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
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 mado no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
to-ted 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 tost 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 lirst-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully,
THOMAS ALLEN.
Thomson, Ga., January 20, 1875.

Dear Sir: The Busey’s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, &e.
