The Birth of St. Patrick.
BY SAMUEL LOVER.
On the eighth day of March it was, some
people say, . .
That St. Patrick at midnight he first saw
the day, ~ . .. ,
While others declare, ’twas the ninth he
was born, . , .. . ..
And ’twas all a mistake between midnight
' ar.d morn; ...
For mistakes will occur in a hurry and
shock, , , . ,
And some blamed the baby—and some
blamed the clock —
Till with all their cross-questions sure no
one could kuow.
If the child was too fast—or the cloak was
too slow.
Now the first faction fight in owld Ireland,
they say,
Was all on account of St. Patrick’s birth
day, w . ,
Pome fought for the eighth—for the ninth
more would die,
And who vouldn’t see right, sure they
blackened his eye!
At l ist both the factions as positive grew,
That each kept a birthday, so Pat then hail
two. ,j - -
Till lather Muleahy, who showed them
their sins,
Paid, “No one can have two birthdays, but
twins.”
Bays he, “Hoys, don’t be titin’ for eight or
for nine,
Don’t be always dividin’—but sometimes
combine;
Combine eight with nine, and seventeen is
the mark.
Bo let that be his birthday.” “Amen,” says
the dark.
“If he wasn’t twins, sure our history will
show—
That, at least, he’s worth any two saints
that we know!”
Then thev all got blind drunk—which com
pleted their bliss,
And we keep up the practice from that day
to this.

CHARLES F. DEEMS, D- D.,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el

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.LiEßio,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
1 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. 1 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 LI-.SS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MA T
TEIi, 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, S. C.:
Dear Sir : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard 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 the same. 1 thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and" put less.

W. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C.: .
Silt: I have been asked my opinion in
gard to BU&EY’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 sat shed it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.
Respectfully, R R BARKSDALE.
Augusta, Ga., January 27th, 1875.
IV. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C.:
Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUShY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales of cotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel
& Rowland. Very HIIjIji
Augusta, Ga., January 27, 1875.
IV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. G. _
Dear Sir : In reply to your inquiry_as
to the effect of your “LXCILSIOR,
GUANO ” last season, I state that 1 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 respectfully,
M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Dear Sib: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, winch made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 400 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Warrenton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. IV. <L Bußey.
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland —“ BUSEY’S
EXCEL IOR,” and expect to use it again
this ye.< r if 1 can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett. Ga., January 27, 1875.
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 I have ever tried. Respectfully,^
Barnett, 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 siaeo Hie PILCHKR.
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir : 1 usou your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a lirst-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. F. HUBERT.

Dear Sir: I consider your EXCEL
SIOR GUANO” a most excellent manure.

IV. G. Busey, Ksq.
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 tho 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.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
IV. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sib : Your favor requesting tho 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
to-ted it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatl y in
favor of your Guano, and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, anil judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. Ihe 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.
Mr. IV. G. Busey.
Dear Sir: The Busey’s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, &c.
