A Suit of Armor.
When a majority becomes so vast that
intellect disappears in the crowd, the date
of its destruction commences. —“Ihe Pa
risians,” Book 11., Chap. 111.
A suit of ancient armor in a hall
Stands like an unopposing sentinel;
I see its past behind it, and recall
The chivalry that vexed the intide],
That waged tierce wars and wrought of
woe increase
In Hi- ;nil<t name who is the Prince of
Peace.
This unworn armor has a silent speech;
To more than steel the steel is riveted.
And, empty and forlorn, it seems to teach
The patient hope that oft is felt and said,
That soon all armor to disuse shall pass,
With visored helmet, hauberk and cuirass.
There were true knights when mail like
this was worn
In the long struggle for Jerusalem.
If o’er the crescent the red cross was borne.
They died content. But fame yet lived
for them . ,
And ti*". bailors their brave deeds rhymed
upon , .
From :,uubborn Antioch to Asealon.
Noble- the knights while they were few
Thev vowed 1 to tell the truth, to help the
weak,
To lie.; no toe and hold each trust secure.
They let their simple dress their lives be
speak.
Firm in misfortunes, they had strength
to be
Humble and generous in victory.
But then they rose to luxury and power.
When wealth and honor, bright-eyed fal
cons stood
On their triumphant armor—in that hour
Went forth from chivalry the soul, the
good,
And knighthood meant a price and turned
away
From rugged duty into weak display.
For while slow progress up its path has
toiled,
Who has been faithful, who has seized ils
gains ?
As the clean truth, if handled, soon is
soiled,
So, good is seldom pure that long ob
tains,
And every cause that seeks to help and
bless.
Dios at the golden summit of success.
The spirit fl xl, the body is but dust;
It lingors in corruption and decay;
It cannot look on favor nor mistrust,
Though many praise it loud who said it
nay.
They are too blind to see, too dull to feel:
’Tig empty as this man-shaped shell of
steel.

BUSEY’S
“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF
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
tho 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.LiEßiG,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector 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
TURt . • It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate ot Lime in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by tho
roots of plants more readily.

IV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S’. G.;
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.
Respectfully, atH a NT m miller

W. G. Busey, Aiken, S. L.: . .
Sib : I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,
and in reply will Ray 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
i preference the present year.
Respectfully, B R BARKSDALE.
Augusta, Ga., January 27th, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Aiken, S. C.:
Dear Sib: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Kowland, 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.
Lana measured and cotton* sold to Daniel
& Rowland. Very truly,
JOSEPH A. HILL.

IV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S. C-
Dear Sib: In reply to your ißquiry 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 f°ur
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 laud, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. 1
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Warbenton, Ga., January' 28, 1875.
Mr. W. 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 Sir : 1 used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used sever.d other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried. Respectfully,
J. A*TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO forsev
oral 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 slued tto pILCHm

Dear Sir: 1 used you:: Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;

Dear Sir : I consider your EXCEL

TV. 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 tho best I
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 did
well, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal staudard, 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.
TV. 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
te-ted it with two different brands two
years ago, and tho 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.
Thomson, Ga., January 20, 1875.

Dear Sir: The Busey’s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, Ac.
