Every Day.
Bim ALLINGHAM.
Let us not teach and preach so much,
But cherish, rather than profess;
Be careful how the thoughts we touch,
Of God, and Love, and Holiness.
A charm, most spiritual, faint.
And delicate, forsakes the breast.
Bird-like, when It perceives the taint
Of prying breath upon its nest.
Tlsimr enjoying, let ua live;
SetWe to grow, what should we do
But take what soil and climate give/
For thence must come our sap and hue;
Blooming as sweetly as we may,
Nor beckon comers, nor debar;
Let them take balm or gall away,
According as their natures are.
Look straight at all things from the soul,
But boast not much to understand;
Make each new action sound and whole,
Then leave it in its place unscann and:
Be true, devoid of aim or care,
Nor posture, nor antagonize:
Know well that clouds of our air
But seem to wrap the mighty skies;
Search starry mysteries overhead,
Where wonders gleam ; yet bear in mind
That Earth’s our planet, firm to tread,
Nor in the star-dance left behind.
. A&fISSSSRB
For nothing is withheld, be sure,
Our being needed to have shown;
The fnr was meant to be obscure,
The near w as placed so to be known.
Cast we no astrologic scheme
To map the course we must pursue;
But use the lights whene’r they beam,
And every trusty landmark, too.
The Future let us not permit
To choke us In its shadow’s clasp;
] t cannot touch us, nor w e it;
The present moment’s in our grasp.
Soul severed from the truth is sin;
The dark and dizzy gulf is doubt;
Truth never moves—unmoved therein.
Our road is straight and firm throughout.
This road forever doth abide,
The universe, if fate so call,
May siniraway on either side,
But this and God at once shall fall.

(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,D r. Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard,‘lnspector 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, 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-
Ehate of Lime in it is better than that ob
lined from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

to BUSEY S EXCELSIOR GU AINU,
and inreul y will fay I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other stendaid
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: In reply to
to the effect of your EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres oi
poor worn-out land. The result was tou -
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 41 o
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.

Dear Sir: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 46 pounds, l
consider it a first-class Guano.

I was very much pleased 'with the Guano

Dear 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. Respectfully,^

This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO forsev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any. “ u°t the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos

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 !
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
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 my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.

IF. G. Busey, Esq. _ ~
Dear Sir : Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is t 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 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 first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully,
