The Legend of Easter Eggs.
Trinity bells, with their hollow lungs,
And their vibrant lips and their brazen
tongues,
Over the roof of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the sun are rolled,
As he swings along his path of gold.
“ Dearest papa,” says my boy to me,
As he merrily climbs on his mother s knee.
“ Why are these eggs that you see me hold
Colored so finely with blue and gold ?
And what is the wonderful bird that lays
1 Such beautiful eggs upon Easter days ? ”
! Tenderly shine the April skies.
Like laughter and tears, in my child’s blue
eyes,
Ami every lace in the street is gay,
Why cloud this youngster’s by saying nay?
Ho i cudgel my brains for the tale he begs.
And tell him the story of Easter eggs:
You have heard, my son, of the Man who
i died, .
Crowned with keen thorns and crucified.
And how Joseph, the wealthy—whom God
reward— . , r ,
< fared for tlis corpse of his martyred Lord,
And piously tombed it within the rock,
And closed the gate with a mighty block.
Now cl' se by the tomb a fair tree grew,
fvith pendulous leaves and blossoms of
hm/'deep in the green tree’s shadowy
! breast •
k beautiful singing bird sat on her nest,
Which was bordered with mosses like raal
{ aehite.
flow when the bird, from her dim recess,
i|ehel<l the Lord in His burial dress.
And looked on the heavenly face so pale,
And the dear feet pierced with the cruel
nail,
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang,
And out of the depths of her sorrow she
sang.
A ll night long, till the moon was up,
She sat and sang in her moss-wreathed cup,
song of sorrow as wild and shrill
As the homeless wind when it roams the
hill,
Ho full of tears, so loud and long,
That tiie grief of the world seemed turned
to song.
But soon there came through the weeping
i night
A glittering angol clothed in white;
Ajrid he rolled the stone from the tomb away,
Where the Lord of the Earth and Heavens
lay; , ,
And Christ arose in the cavern s gloom,
And In living lustre came from the tomb!
Now the bird that sat in the heart of the
tree
Beheld this Celestial Mystery,
And its heart was tilled with a sweet delight,
And it poured a song on the throbbing
night;
Notes clitabing notes, till higher, higher,
They shot to heaven like spears of lire!
When the glittering white-robed angel
heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving bird,
And heard the following chant of mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on earth,
He said: “ Hweet bird, be forever blest,
Thyself, thy eggs, and thy moss-wreathed
nest!”
And ever, my child, since thatblossed night;
When Death bowed down to the Lord of
Light,
The eggs of that sweet bird change their
hue,
And burn with red, and gold, and blue—
Reminding mankind, in their simple way,
Of the holy marvel of Easter day.

(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 Carol!nas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country. Dr. Likjbig,
ot Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector o?
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 mo. I claim it is tho
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because In each pound
of It there is as much valuable material as
in two pounds ol any of the cheap rock
, phosphates. IT IS DRYER, UN Ell,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. Tho Phos
phate ot Lime in it is better than that ob
i tuined from rocks, and is taken up by the
i roots of plants more readily.

IV. 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 G>tton Food, tho results were
about the same. 1 thought it stronger than
tho ('otton Food aud put less.

Sill: I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,
and in reply will (-ay 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 sat.sfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.

IV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S. C.
Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry
to the effect of your “ EXCELSIOR
GUANO” last season, 1 state thatlusod
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was lour
teon (14) bales of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. 1 consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 23,1875.
Dear Sir: 1 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. ......
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Wariienton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. IV. 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 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. Renpeetfully,
J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga'., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO forsev
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 the war.
W. H. PILCHER.
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sib : 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a lirst-elass Guano.

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!
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 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 Sir: Your favor requesting the 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
tested it witii two different brands two
years ago, aud 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,
