The Angel of the Twilight.
When the long evenings slanting grow
In crystal rafters over the beach.
The roofs of heaven are almost in reach
As.l think ol my sorrow of long ago.
Once more an old grief comes and wrestles,
As Jacob wrestled at Jabbok’s ford—
A dumb resistance, with never a word,
But the shadow burdening down the tres
tles;
And a long foreboding that seemed to
grieve,
Like the soldier who over his pallet hears
The whisper of patient, suffering years,
Before he is used to the empty sleeve;
As I kissed and cried over a cold, still face,
In her bridal robes, on her bridal bed,
And ever repeating, She is not dead,
She will come out of her nestling place,
With a flush of laughter and wreathing
arms.
The maiden’s blush on the cheeks of the
wife; .
She will come back to me, life in life,
In the dower of womanhood s bridal
charms,
Or a < uning step, I whispered, in hers;
She sings the - ongs that she used to sing;
She comes, like the blossom-exhaling
Spring,
Throe-'0 tne violet bed and the clover
furze;
Ami still a sweet dream shall a vigil keep
The .whole night long that she nestles
near,
Her warm breath fanning my cheek and
ear
As I lie in her loose, light arms of sleep.
If I seek her to-day with the voice or hand,
It ends in a doleful even-song,
Or a tale of an ancient, forgotten wrong,
To children who do not understand.
But after the twilight si e Is its gloom
Far over the meadows about our home
The unseen angels can go and come,
And roll the stone from the mouth of the
tomb.
And she comes in the dews of a paradise:
A holy blessing around me steals;
I feel her presence as one that feels
The gentle light upon closed eyes,
So when the evenings slanting grow
f n crystal rafters over the beach,
The roofs of heaven are almost in reach
As 1 think of my sorrow of long ago.

and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families tlirougnout 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, 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 by 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 tney attended, or the 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 brandies; 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 aa'Nve can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!

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 the country,Di-.Lierig,
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. 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
phospftates. IT IS DRYER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones anti 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
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.

Fertilizers, but 1 never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. I am sat;shed it is a

Dear Sir : In reply to your inquiry as
to the effect of your ‘ EXCELSIOR

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 tirst-class Fertilizer.

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

Barnett, Ga., January 30,1875.
Dear Sib : 1 used your Guauo last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a iirst-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. F. HUBERT.

Dear Sir: I consider your “EXCEL
SIOR GUANO" a most excellent manure.
Yours, truly, etc.,

IE. G. Busey, Ksq.
Dear Sib : Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was the best I
ever used in ray life, making the be3t 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 L have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.

Dear Sir : Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop Jast
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 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 commeuding it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully.
THOMAS ALLEN.
Thomson, Ga., January 20, 1875.
Mr. W. G. Busey.
Dear Sib : The Busey s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, <fcc.
