A Fertiliser, in consequence of its marked
success tho past, season*jtnd the greatly in
creased demand arising therefrom, has made
arrangements with the manufacturer for a
‘arge *.nd full supply; ar.d requiring greater
facilities for storage and otheraccommodation,
has taken the four story Warehouse as belov.,
where he w*ill be able to supply any quantity
required, with promptness. He may be al
lowed to express his satisfaction m view of
the fact that of the numerous purchases made
of him by planters, generally for the purpose
of making comparative tes'-s with other fertil
isers. not one case has come to his knowledge
where our Fertiliser has not shown a decided
superiority. Plantrrs who have used JJapes’
Phosphate, now make it their sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as
fifty tans, for use the next season. This fact
speaks for itself. Wc have discover, ds, qual
ity, developed in the drouth, which was before
unobserved, viz; its hygrotnetric power, or
capacity, to absorb moisture from the atmos
phere, which obviated to a large extent the
lata unparalleled drought where it was used,
while most other fertilisers were not. only val
ueless. K..* posittv'” : "j"r;yur t ge piant.
The safety and profit as a mo.toy investment,
arising fren the use of Wipes’ Phosphate, arc
now placed beyond question, and the experi
ence of the past season, has established what
we have, without hesitation, always asserted
for it, that it is the only fertiliser reliable un
der all circumstances or soil, mode of cultiva
tion, and of weather.

It is mentioned, as a medium of com
merce, in the i v.’cnfy third chapter of Gen
esis, when Abraham purchased a field—
that of Maclipelali—as a sepulchre for
Sarah, in the year of tho world 2130, or
1861 before Christ. In profiure history,
the coinage of money is ascribed to the
Lydians, one of whose kings,’ Croesus, pos
sessed enormouswealth, having tlui power,
it is said, of converting everything he
touched into gold. Mor.eta was the name’
given to their silver by the Romans, it
having been coined in the temple of Juno
Ymieta, 269 13. C- Money was made of
different ores’, and even ofleathcr and oth
er articles, both, in ancient and modern
times. It was made of pasteboard by the
Hollanders so late as 10l l. Silver lias in
creased more than thirty times its value
since, the Norman Conquest in 1068. A
pound in that ago was three times the
quantity it is at present, and twelve times
its value in purchasing any commodity.
During the reign of Solomon, 13.0. 912
as mentioned in 1 Kings, eh. x,- v, 21, both
’ gold and silver must have been profusely
abundant with the Hebrews; for as the re
cord has it, “all King Solomon’s drinking
vessels were ot gold —none /cere of silver:
it was nothing tut ousted of in the days of
fSolo/nonS’
The worthy Spanish historian, Friar
Antonio Agapida, has given us the. follow
ing, as being the origin of paper money:
■‘The Count tie Tendilla, while besieged
I y the Moors in the fortress of Alhambra,
was -destitute of gold and silver wherewith
to pay bis soldiers, who began to murmur,
as they bad not the means of purchasing
tho necessaries of life from ihc people of
the towft. ‘lu this dilemma,’ says the his
torian, ‘what does this most sagacious'com
mander ? He takes a number of little
morsels of paper, on which lie inscribed va
rious sums, large and small, and signs them
with his own hand and name. These did
lie give to the soldiery in earnest of their
pay. How, you will say, arc soldiers to
be paid with little scraps of paper? Even
so, and well'paid, too, as I will presently
make manifest; for the good Count issued
a proclamation, ordering the inhabitants to
take these morsels of paper for the full n
mount thereon inscribed, promising to re
deem them at a future day with gold and
silver. Thus, by subtle aml most mirqcit
. Totis alchemy, did this cavalier turn worth
less paper into precious gojd and silver,
and his late impoverished army abound in
money. The historian adds, ‘The Court’
, tie Tend ills redeemed his promise like a
royal knight, and this miracle, as it ap
peared in the eyes of Agapida, is the first
instance on record of paper money, which
has since spread throughout the world the
most unbounded opulence.”

you. Let yon alone < Did you say that
to the girl you danced with ? Oh no! noth

a jerk. Can get no peace? Yes, you car,
get plenty of it; go to the theatre; go elec

peace by the long measure; I’ll give you a

are you going? Get into another bed?
Not exactly; this bod has been large e

I’d like to see you dance with me. I’m

Pau!e : or|gißof tk o word.
Ilia coindo of papers on the financial
crisis of. 1857, occurs this fine passage’ in.
the Mount Vernon series, by. Edward Eve
rett :
“IJnt even tho dictionaries teach us that
it is idle to. inquire into ike cause of a panic
that is, the immediate cause ; flic word fs
used to signify n great and general alarm
without any apparent adequate cause. In
the oldest heathen mythology, Pan blew
his conch shell vrirea the Titans were fight
ing witli‘die Gods. The audacious lobels
had stood undaunted against the thunders
of Jupiter, but they fled at tho blast of
this harsh clarion. Having succeeded so
well on this occasion. Pan accompanied
‘Bacchus orrhisexpedition to India, where,
on a certain occasion, ho gave a wild
scream, which filled the echoes of the
mountains, and put tho enemy to flight.
These old'fablos (what foundation of fact
they maj have had in the experience of
infant humanity, who can teli ?) struck to
the heart of the race, and liavo given a name
to saddest realities in every period-if histo
ry, Old dynasties have epuk—mighty
battles have been lost—wcluVioiiii have
been commenced by I’an-ic fears. One ol
the most authentic signs of t!:e Jast diend
Conor -nitration is “men’s hearts failing them
for fear and when this takes place, no
form of disorganization and mi. is just mat
ter of surprise. The racking >f a Seat, or
.a mischievous cry of fire, will, in an instant,
set assembled thousands qiuiS'hlHgent per
sons frantic with terror, t£n<t sp-vuse them to
trample each other to death,’- in their iu
'ov.e haste to escape Loin the building,
A great, strong ship strikes an. iceberg,
and discipline i? sot* itimes instantly sub
verted, all hope of escape in the life-boats
blasted, by the fierce haste with which
they are lowered into the sea and over
crowded in tho dismay of the moment, and
hundreds of lives lost when All might have
been rescued. Almost all the great bat
tles of ancient and modern times, from
Pharsalia to Waterloo, have probably been
decided at last by panic. Miracles of valor
are performed by bravo men, blood flows
like water; at length a wild cry is beard,
on one side or the other, that all is lost—
and with that cry, all is lost.”
Kilisjftess.
Be kind, to all* In these few words
how much meaning there may bo, —mean
ing of vital importance to the person con
cerned. By being kink nothing can, be
lost, much nsy be gained.—even if noth
ing is g i. *d directly to the donor of kind
ness, there is indhcctly, a notrer-failiing
supply of benefit accruing to him. By
an act of kindness, not only the blessings
of the benefitpd, but of the world, and of
God, alight on the head of him who does
tho act. Through all our lives wo may
look in vain for any other trait which
gives greater celebrity to its possessor than
kindness. Washington was a grot man,
but was that the only reason why his name
is revered and blessed by thousands ? No,
—it is because-ho used that greatness for
, the benefit of his country and fellowbeings.
Napoleon is recollected ; but is it with
the same kind regard with which wo ro
inember Washington? No, —it is with
bitter feelings and a loud lament that the
name of Bonaparte is iecalled. And why?
Because lie had no nobleness in his sold.
May each and all read and reflect upon
the lives of the departed great, of onr own
a3 well as other countries, judging wheth
er they are recollected for kind deeds or
for cv*i ones, —consider how they are re
garded, whether !iko Washington or Na
poleon, and then make a solemn vow—
i I will be kind—renewing the vow as of
j ten as the tempter cornos. Those who

misfortune, was happy—happy in a wife

and low, and lie.gave ‘her credit for that
beauty which (bad he'boen a painter) was
