Progress.
How beautifully has the Quaker poet,
Whittier, expressed the mighty march of
events—the lightning-like progress of the
age:
Behind the squaw’s light birch canoe.
The steamer rocks and raves;
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves.
I hear the tread of pioneers—
Of nations yet to be—
The first low wash of waves where soon
Shall roam a human sea.
The rudiments of empire here
Are plastic yet and warm;
The chaos of a mighty world
Is rounding into form.
Happiness.
If solid happiness we prize,
Within our breast this jewel lies,
And they are fools who roam;
The world, hath nothing to bestow—
From our own selves our bliss must flow’,
And that dear hut, our home.
[Ootton.
A clerical gentleman, remarkable for
preaching many Sundays from one text,
had nearly run through the year from
these words, “Peter’s wifes mother
lay sick of a fever.' The chuich boll
tolled early one morning, when the
minister dispatched a servant to in
quire who was dead. The sexton pre
tended ignorance, but returned for an
answer, “ that he believed it was Pe
ter’s wife’s mother, as she had been
sick for a long time.”
"When a Cincinnati young man says
to his soul’s idol, “ Don’t kiss me any
more now, Sal, I’m tired,” she knows
he has just been shaved by one of
those pretty female barbers.
While a couple of women were dis
cussing the merits of a certain physi
cian, one of them asked the other what
kind of a doctor he was. “Sure, I
dunno,” was the reply, “ but I think
it’s an alapaco doctor they call him.”

of Cliristian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian 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, wo 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’ i SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture bj 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 tiie repre
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 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 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

claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Dr.Liebig,

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
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
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
nofthink 1 Kavo VSE-TS ÜBA.NO 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.

Sir : I have been asked my opinion r&j
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,
and in reply will fay I used it on my last
vear’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam sat shed it tea
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.

W. G. Busey, Aiken, S. L.:
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.

Dear Sir: In reply to
to the effect of your EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that 1 used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres or
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 410
pounds each. I consider it in eveiy re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.

Dear Sib: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.

Mr W. i/. Busey. _
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought (. f Daniel & Rowland — BUSEY S

this year if I can get it.

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 1 have ever tried.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
oral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, 1 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 r w fp ILCHER .
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir : 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;

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 1
ever used iu 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 I have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.

W. G. Buaey, Kaq.
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
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,
