Fame, and Only Eight Lines.
Here are the eight lines which have made
Bourdillon, the Oxford graduate, famous:
LIGHT.
The night has a thousand eyes,
The day has one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When day is done! { Scribner's.
They have a queer clerical scandal at
Fon Du Lac, Wis., but don’t give the
name of the man accused. He became
pastor of a church there, about two
years ago, 28 years old, having just
married a lovely Michigan woman. He
was very zealous, but at the end of the
first year there were whispers or
trouble between him and his wife. He
treated her so abusively that she
threatened to leave him, but at his
earnest request she only made a short
visit away from home. At the end oi
a month he went to her and told her
that he would ruin her reputation if
she didn’t return home at once. When
she got home he abused her in the
most shameless manner, lying about
her and applying indecent epithets to
her before company. At one time, not
long ago, after calling his wife a very
bad name, he dropped upon his knees
in the presence of the wife and others,
and addressed the throne of grace in
this language: “O, Lord ! Thou know
est that my hated wife is the one great
obstacle in the way of a revival of re
ligion in my church. Wilt Thou, in
Thy goodness, come down and remove
her ?” •
Three questions to be put to our
selves before speaking evil of any man :
“ First, is it true ? Second, is it kind ?
Third, is it necessary ?

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF
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 sold in
Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in thecountry,Dr.Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. RaJNs, 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.

W. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. C.:
Dear Sir : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard to your 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, i thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

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

Dear Sib: Yours just received. I pur

Dear Sir : In reply to Y°ur inquiry 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 415
pounds each. I consider it In every 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.
lb peetfully, J. H. WALKER.
Wabrenton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. TV. G. Busey.
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland —“BUSEY’S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if I can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett. Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sib : 1 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,
J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnwtt, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This- is to certify that I have 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, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir : 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any l.have over 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 !
ever used in my life, making the best yield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. 1
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. t __

TV. G. Busey, Esq.
Deab Sib : Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is nt 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
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,
THOMAS ALLEN.
