Sometime.
Sometime, when all life’s lessons have been
learned,
And suns and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgments here
have spurned,
The things o’er which we grieved with
lashes wot
Will flash before us, amid life’s dark night.
As stars shine most in deeper tints of
blue;
And wo shall see how all God s plans were
And what most seemed reproof was love
most true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and
go on as best for you and me,
How, when we called, He heedeth notour
Because His wisdom to the end could see;
And e’en as prudent parents disallow
Too touch of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life’s sweetest things because it seemeth
good.
And you shall shortly know that length
ened breath . _.
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His
friend, . „ . , ..
And that sometimes the sable pall of death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can
send; . ....
If we could push ajar the gates of life.
If we could stand within and all God s
working see, ~ , , , , .
We could interpret all this doubt and sti ife,
And for each mystery And there a key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor
heart!
God’s plans, like Allies, pure and white
unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves
apart,
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold;
And if, through patient toil, we reach the
laud
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed,
may rest,
Where we shall clearly know and under
stand,
I think that we shall say, “God knew
the best.”
On the plains of Texas is found a lit
tle flower called the “ compass flower,”
which, in all changes of wind and
weather, points its leaves invariably
to the north.

of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families througnout the cnuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief.
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D- D. t
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, 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 b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerept parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repre -
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished afr $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 brandies; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room. e
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We nive 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 tins 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,
ana 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

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF
Dissolved Bones, 1,300 lbs.
Peruvian Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 “
(Patented.)
I CL AIM 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,Dr. Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepabd, '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
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 2Gth at hand. In
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
not think T gave BUSEY’S GUANO a fair

as I did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same. 1 thought it stronger than

Sir : I have been asked my opinion in re

and in reply will say I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but 1 never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam satisfied it is a

preference the present year.

Dear Sir: In reply to your 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.
* Very respectfully,

Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.

this your if I can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.

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

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 the war.

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 in my life, making the best yield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. I
usod last year ono 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 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.
