“ FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SCATTERED
LIKE ROSES IX ISLOOV.”
In Memory of Mr*. Alary Ji. C. Osborn.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH O. DANNELI.Y.
Oh"! friends of my youth, they are passing away ;
How fleeting is time, fi.r it seems but a day
Since we mingled with school-mates, lighthearted
and true.
In the morning of life, when our sorrows were
few.
Together we launched on Life’s billowy sea,
But soon, o’er the waves, had she drifted from me;
iong years have passed by, since we sailed from
the sh< re,
But her voyage’now ended, the tempest is o’er.
How oft have I wondered the fate of her barque,
If the winds were contrary, or havens were dark;
But o’er the great ocean no tidings there came.
While Memory treasured her face and her name.
Bot now, o’er the billows, ’tis wafted at last.
Kind breezes have borne me some news of the
past:
Her voyage was a safe one, ’t was happy and calm,
For her colors were dyed in the “ blood of the
Lamb.”
Haiti-more. Md., September , 1877.

ORANGE CULTURE.
A “Ladv Reader of Middle Georgia,”
sends us the following note :
Will someone of your many readers in
Southern Georgia and Florida, inform me if
the seedling Orange tree has to be grafted
utsiuie 11 win ut'Hr nun j n so, uuco
graft have to be taken from a bearing tree ?
I have several young trees two and three
years old, and any information in regard to
their culture, etc., will be thankfully re
ceived.
The information sought for would be ser
viceable to very many of our readers, and
would be appreciated. We hope, therefore,
that someone skilled in Orange calture, will
furnish us with a brief article on the subject,
covering these points.
THE EARLY RISING DELUSION.
For farmers and those who live in locali
ties where people can retire at eight and
nine o'clock in the evening, the old notion
about, early rising is still appropriate. But
he who is kept up till ten or eleven ortwelve
o’clock, and then rises at five or six, because
of the teachings of some old ditty about
“ early to rise,” is committing a sin against
his own soul. There is not one man in ten
thousand who can afford to do without seven
or eight hours’ sleep. All the stuff written
about great men who slept only three or four
hours a night, is apocryphal. They have
been put upon such small allowance occa
sionally, and prospered ; but no man ever
kept healthy in body and mind for a number
of years with less than seven hours’ sleep.
If you can get to bed early, then rise early.
If you cannot get to bed till late, then rise
late It may be as proper for one man to
rise at eight as it is for another to rise at five.
Let the rousing bell he rung at least thirty
minutes before your public appearance.
Physicians say that a sudden jump out of
bed gives irregular motion to the pulses. It
is barbarous to expect children to land on
the centre of the floor at the call of their
nurses, with the thermometer near zero.
Give them time after you call them to roll
over, gaze at the world full in the face, und
look before they leap.
THE MOTHER’S INFLUENCE.
In the article the iate ex Senator Pratt was
dictating at the time of his death, this inci
dent of his own life is related: “It was late
in the <h!l of 1835 that, having collected for
the different mercantile firms in Cincinnati
about $2 000, I was sent on horseback by the
Lawrencebnrg road to deliver to tt e several
parties interested the money so collected.
As I was passing the branch bank, then re
cently established, on the morning of my de
parture, the cashier hailed me and brought
out some bundles of bank bills folded up,
and stowed them away ir, my saddle bags,
and handed me letters to the banks to whom
the packages were to be delivered. He stun
ned me by saying they amounted to S2O 000.
There was a moment, a supreme and critical
one, when the voice of the tempter pene
trated my ear. It was when I reached the
crown of those imperial hills that overlook
the Ohio river when approaching Lawrence
burg from the interior. This noble stream
was the great artery of commerce at that
day, before a railroad west of Massachusetts
had been built. What a gay spectacle it pre
sented: flashing in the bright sunlight, cover
ed with flat boa's, with rafts, with gay steam
ers ascending and descending, and transport
ing their passengers in brief times to the Gulf
of Mexico, the gateway to all parts of the
world. I had but to sell my horse and go
aboard one of these with my treasure, and I
was absolutely beyond reach of pursuit.
There was no telegraph then, flashing intelli
gence by an agency more ductile than steam,
and far outrunning it: no extradition treaties
requiring foreign government to return the
felon. The world was before me, and at the
age of twenty one, wi'h feeble ties to connect
me with those left behind, I was in possession
of a fortune for those early days. I recall
the fact that this thought was a tenant of my
mind for a moment, and for a moment only.
Bless God, it found no hospitable lodgment
any longer. And what think you, gentle
reader, were the associate thoughts that came
to my rescue? Away, over rivers and moun
tains, a thousand miles distant, in an humble
farm-house, on a bench, an aged mother
reading to her boy from the oracles of God.”

PHOSPHATES.
Hr. Crosier, of Boston, writing in the
Country Gentleman , states the facts when
he says that. the (American) commercial
superphosphates contain only fifteen per
cent., on the average, of soluble, insoluble,
reduced phosphoric acid, while the chemi
cally pure bi phosphate of lime contains a
little over sixty per cent, of wholly soluble
phosphoric acid. And this pure phosphate
is now prepared for farmers’ use in England
by a process so cheap that it is actually sold
for less by the ton or barrel than the much
inferior American superphosphates. Be
sides this, as one barrel contains the strength
of fonr of the American, the freight is only
oue-fourth for the same quality. This pure
superphosphate is as handsome and free
from odor as ground plaster. But the very
fact that it is odorless would prtvsnt its sale
with many, who believe that the virtue both
of manures and medicines is in proportion
to their nastiness. Yet even if we could
get such good and cheap superphosphates
as this, no one could afford to buy them un
til the waste of the stables is stopped. Not
a farmer in the land is rich enough to afford
to waste a dollar per cow yearly in this way.
Let him save ten dollars a year in manures,
spend it for good agricultural reading, and
apply what he learns with judgment, and we
will guarantee him better than compound
interest on the saving. But it is a sad fact
that our “ farmers’ colleges,” the common
schools, are so far defective in their instruc
tion that most farmers cannot “ make head
f* l6 plainest matters of science,
reason why they
and papers
tirely neglected, in the bones which might
be collected and saved in every neighbor
hood. The chief if not the entire value of
an eight dollar barrel of superphosphate
lies in the one hundred and twenty five
pounds of bone it contains, or ought to con
tain. Now for eight dollars we can get the
boys to pick up from eight to twelve hun
dred pounds of bones. They will find where
the dead horses were buried, dig them up,
and make a dollar by an hour’s labor. They
will glean the fields, and rob the dogs, and
will pile up a ton of bones in a week in any
farmer’s yard who will encourage them to do
so. Take this pile of bones, with a little
waste wood, and you can burn them till they
are so brittle that they can be powdered with
the back of a shovel. This powder is al
most, pure phosphate of lime, and a ton of it
—made by burning two tons of raw bones —
need not cost over forty dollars, while it con
tains more phosphoric acid than four tons of
any superphosphate ever sold in this section.
Scatter it over your manure, a peck at a
time, and a ton of it so used will double the
phosphstic value of all the manure for a
herd of fifteen cows.
Another cheap way to increase the phos
phoric acid of our manure, as well as the
nitrogen, is the feeding of bran, or shorts.
A ton of bran is worth fifteen dollars for the
fertilizing material it contains. It is also
worth what it usually costs for feed alone, so
that fifteen dollars may be made on every
ton purchased. After doing these things
you will not feel the need of buying phos
phates, except perhaps for application to
some pastures upon which it is difficult to
uraw manure. — rmnunt e.
A Hint to Dyspeptics. —Change your diet
and manner of living! drink neither tea nor
coffee; never drink at meal times; after every
meal, or during the meal, dissolve half a tea
spoonful or more of cayenne pepper in half
a glassful of milk, and drink it. Eat plain
food; never taste pastry of any kind. 11 you
are troubled with sleepless nights, do not try
to promote sleep by taking stimulants or
opiates; they do more harm than good.
Take a sponge bath just before retiring, and
if you are unable to do it yourself, get some
one to rub you well with a coarse towel. If
you wake in the night and cannot, get to sleep
again, get up at once, and not lie until you
“get nervous thinking about it.” Take a
foot bath; rub your limbs well, to get, up a
circulation; drink a glass of cold water. Do
not expect, to cure yourself in one week’s
time. Have patience, and iry one month.

THE YOUNG ASTRONOMER.
OCTOBER 3.
The Planets which are now shining so
brightly, have been attracting not only Young
Astronomers, but Old Astronomers with
their splendid Telescopes have been watch
ing them closely. Our American Astrono
mers have made a great discovery. They
have found several (perhaps thrie) little
Moons to Mars which were never seen be
fore. The Moons of Jupiter and Saturn can
be seen with common Telescopes, because
these Moons or Satellites are quite large, as
large as our Moon, in some cases. But the
little “pony Moons” of Mars are so small
that they have been hidden until now. Venus
has been suspected of having a little Moon
of her own. We muit expect before long to
know the truth, for she can hardly conceal it
much longer from all the inquisitive eyes
now turned on her. Our Moon needs no
Telescope to see her. She speaks for her
self, and gladdens our nights duting half of
every month. Her changes are the most
striking appearances in the sky, next to the
rising and setting of the Sun. Some- readers
have expressed a wish, to know what is
meant by the changes of the Moon. A New
Moon is, when the dark body of the Moou is
turned towards us. Or, it is when the centre
of the Sun, and the centre of the Moon, are
on the same line. Sometimes vbere this
happens, the Moon is fairly between us and
the Sun’ Then, we have an Eclipse of the
Sun. But, more frequently the Moon is
either a little above, or a little below the Sun,
that is a little to the North, or a little to the
South, of the Sun. This is new Moon. At
that moment the Moon is invisible to naked
eyes, its dark half being turned towards ns.
And usually, it is also hidden from us, for a
day or two before, and a day or two after,
the time of New Moon. The Moon passes
eastward of the Sun so rapidly, that in about
a week, it gets ninety degrees east of the
Sun. Then she has finished one quarter of
her journey. When she is one hundred and
eigh'y degrees distant, she is full, the whole
of her bright face being turned towards us.
And when she bas come within ninety de
grees again of the Sun, she enters on the last
quarter of her monthly rounds. This is as
full an explanation of the changes of the
Moon as can be given in these short lessons.
To night at eight o’clock, besides thegrea*
Planets, you can see many fine constellations.
Low down in the west is Arcturus, soon to
be bidden at this hour. A little above him
is thebeautiful Northern Crown. Still higher
is the very large, but not very striking, con
stellatton, Hercules. High up in the west
is Lyra. Almost immediately over head, is
the Cross, its long beam pointing Northeast
and Southwest, while over in the Noriheast
are Andromeda, Cassiopeia, and Perseus.

THE GENTLE SOUTH WIND.
“Now, Walter Harrison Ames, you get
right out of that chair this minute, for that’s
my seat, and I want to sit there;” and little
Miss Rose, who locked more like a snap
dragon just then, tried to shake her sturdy
brother, who had a very cool way of pretend
ing not to hear her when he did not mean to
heed, and who sat as calmly-looking out of
the window as it only a fly were attempting
to move him.
Papa was reading in the other window, but
he seemed to know exactly what was going
on, and so he called the little snap dragon,
though he did not use that name, to come to
him, as he had a story to tell her.
A story was always a delight, and so the
changeable flower, almost a rose again, went
instantly and seated herself on a little bench
at bis feet.
‘■This morning, Rose, as I was going down
town," he began, “I met a disagreeable
north wind, and it snapped and snarled in a
very spiteful way. It began by trying to in
jure the trees and break off the branches, but
the branches were too strong for it, and
wouldn’t give way. Then it rushed at me,
and blew my coat and hat as hard as it couid,
and said, in a gruff tone, as plain as wind
could talk, ‘Take off’your coat quick; I won’t
wait.’ But 1 laughed at the idea of obeying
such a command as that, and just buttoned
up my coat as tight as I could, and the north
wind tugged and tugged in vain.
“In the afternoon as I came home, the
south wind met me, and such sweet manners
as it had ! It came up and kissed me first,
and then said so gently, as it played witli my
hair and patted my cheek, ‘Open your coat,
please, open your coat.’ I openqd it r.ght

Brother Walter didn’t say one word, but
he whisked out of the chair in a second,

scampered off to play. — Child's Paper.

Mbs. Theodosia McDonald whose maid
en name was Ryder, was born in Bibb coun
ty, Ga.. Nov. 1, 1862; and died at Spaulding,
Macon c unty. Ga.. July 29, 1877.
Under the pastoral care and preaching of the
Rev. E H. McGehee, she made a profession
of religion in early life and joinpd the Meth
odist Church at Liberty Chapel, ILbb county,
Ga , where her membership re ained until
her death. She had a very clear con'ersion
and exhorted her cousin, who was about her
age, and wiih whom she was associated main- |
ly, to give her heart to God, and go with her.
Strange as it may geem. this cousin died on y
a day or two before she did. One of the min
isters who was aiding in conducting the mfet
ing, said to the wrier, “You should have
been at our meeting last night.” Why? who
preached, said L “Your laughter, Theodo
sa” he replied. She never afterwards had
a doubt of her conversion, and illustrated her
Christian profession in her subsequent life,
as her neighbors, and the good people among
whom she lived and died, will bear ample tes
timooy. She had been engaged with her hus
band in teaching at the popular seminary of
Spaulding, when during their vacation, she
was taken with billious or malarial fever of
which she subsequently died. Though un
well, she made a hurried visit to her pa
rents and relations, desiring on the Sabbath
to attend the services of the Church of her
membership, but fuutjtf herßeif too stek to
go out. Fearing her illness might be pro
traded, she insisted, much against our will,
on returning home at the time she had prom
ised to return. At home she had evety at
tention that a devoted husband and kind
friends could give her. Still she continued
to grow werse, never, however complaining
of any pain, but always answering our inqui
ries, “I am doing very well.” On the first
attack of her disease she was affected with
partial deafness, which rendered it necessary
to speak in a loud tone of vo'ce, in order to
hold any conversation with her. This, how
ever, was found *o be unpleasant, and con
sequent!y very little was said to her beyond
what was necessary to know how she felt,
and what her wants were —nothing concern
ing her future prospects in the event of death.
Indeed, I am of the opinion she had little or
no apprehension that her sickness would
prove fatal—-neither did her friends or phy
sician—till a few hours before tier death
Her early consecration to God. her love tor
ilie Church and the brethrtn, her exemplary
life, and her earnest and prayerful desire for
her husband’s conversion, are some of the
testimonies site has left, that our loss is her
eternal f;ain. In the village where she had
lived and labored aa teafher. she was m mh
beloved, as was manifested by the number of
young people who accompanies the remains
twenty miles to their Isat resting placs; anu
her early unexpected death will be widely,
deeply lamented. She L aves a devoted hus
band and two lovely little boys, a loving sis
ter and affectionate brothers, together witn a
large circle of triends and relations, and a
sorrowing mother and father, to mourn her
early separation from them. We bow, how
ever, in humble submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father, who hath assured us “that
all things work together for good to them that
love God." etc., and though we have sorrow
now, w<- have hope too, that there will be a
happy reunion of loved one9 in the realms of
bliss and glory. VV. li.
Brothpr William M. Mkaders wsr bor-i in
Franklin county. Ga , July <i, 1829, and died
ii Cherokee county, Ga , August 20, 1877.
He profess-d religion at twelve or fourteen
years of age, at Bold Spring camp ground, in
Franklin county, Ga., joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and lived a consistent
member until his death He served the
Church as class-leader with satisfaction to
his brethren and pleasure to himself; was a
steward for a number of years and always
felt a deep interest for the preacher ; and was
serving the Church as trustee when be died.
He emered the army in October, 1801, and
made a good soldier. At the battle of Cban4fl
lorsville, he received a wound in the face, from
which he suffered the remainder of his life.
For three years before he died he was unable
to do anything, more than give directions to
his children how to work on the farm. He
was a regular tent holder at the Holbrook
Campground, and at the last meeting was
able to attend all the services up to Monday
morning. During the 11 o'clock service on
Monday, he sat before his tent door, and while
talking with one of his neighbors, was strick
en down, and at five o'clock he fell asleep in
Jesus. I talked wi'h him the night belore
he died, and he told me that he had made
every necessary preparation to depart and be
with Jesus Rev. R. A. Eakes preached his
funeral sermon to a large congregation of
people, and he was then interred with Masonic
honors. The noble character of our brother
shone brightest in the home circle. Self
sacrificing, he ministered to the home com
forts of tl.ose around him, as only a faithful
husband and devoted father could do. The
community in which he lived testified a deep
solicitude for him in his sickness, and mourn
ed his death with expressions of unfeigned
sorrow. It was my privilege to visit him be
fore his death, and from him to receive assu
rances that all was well as to his spiritual
condi’ion. Patient under the painful dispen
sation through which he was called to pass,
he cheerfully passed under the rod. and en
tered into the joy of the Lord. His bereaved
wile and seven children have our sympathies
and pravers. Tiiomas J. Edwards.

Miss Ci.ara B Barnett was born Nov. 7,
1854; and died August 17, 1877.
She embraced religion in her 13th year,
joined the M. E Church, South, and iived a
consistent member to her death. Our Church
has lost one of i's mest consistent and devo
ted members. I often visited her as pastor,
and found that one of her most striking
graces was resignation to God’s will. A1
though she was a lingering and wasting vic
tim to consumption, yet often during her ill
ness she spoke of the goodness of the Lord.
And when told that her physician had done
all he could to restore her, she remarked
that it as with the Lord—“He knows what
he is doing.” All through her illness she
gave evicence of strong faith in God. As
she grew weaker in bodily strength, her
faith grew brighter. She said she had no
fears of death ; and just before she breathed
her last, she called her mother, brother, and
sisters, a little neice, and her nephews, and
all the other friends present, calmly bade
them good bye, and told 'hem all to meet her
in heaven. She pravedal! along for sustain
ing grace, received it, and said God would
give her dying grace in the hour of need
And He gave that, for her lips never faltered
a' she said, after finishing her parting words,
“Now 1-,-t me be composed,” and passed away
as calmly as if only going to sleep. Being
w-lt versed in the Scriptures, extensively rea :
in the literatute of the Church a lady of edu
cation and culture, she exercised an influence
for good wherever she went. Ministering to
the poor, and teaching the young she had
“the mind that was in Christ.” Her con
stant desire was that Christ might be glori
tied in her through her sufferings She 1 am
ed like the Apostle Paul, and like all conse
crated Christians, the great lesson “In what
soever state I an therewith to be content.”
For many long days her sufferings were not
only borne with meek submission, but she
enjoyed a 6weet, uninterrupted realization, of
celestial joys, which seemed opened to her
vision. May the Lord grant the whole fami
ly a happy reunion in the Home above.

linger long behind him, to who e ve’fare she
had dedic Jet! many months of filial solicit.nye
and love. She inherited many of the best filßir
of her parents. She was a devoted daughter,
3ister, and fripnd. She combined in an un
common degree, the retiring qualities of the
young lady, with the decided traits of a con
sistent Christian. She em traced ret:gion in
early life, and her ebarae er was formed and
developed under the genial influences of a
Christian home, and an active participation
in the cares and responsibilities of a coun ry
congregation. A Curistian wife, and a large
and effectionate family are i.bus doubly ,ie

Mrs. Mary D. Orman ii er of James

married to Audr w Ormand, February 18,
1841 ; joineo the M. E. Ch trch, South, at
Wesley Cbapel, in his native county, about
twenty fiveyear3 ago; removed with her hus
band, (who died a few years since.) to Ala
chua county, Fla., sometime in the year 1855;
where she died August 22 1877.
She was a eons stent m t mb- r of the Church,
and though afflicted for several years, and not
so demonstrative as some others, yet she was
firm in her principles of devotion to Qrtd,
sincere in her frieadsbip, plain in her

course with otht rs. She told her only livTSi,;
child, sister Jane Smith, a few days before
she died that she “felt, good and happy, like
she was going to heaven. ” I visited her sev
eral times during her sickness, but she v;hs
unable to speak. Her life demonstrated that
her religion was a living principle. She “rests
from labor,” and “her me norv is blesse'*.”

Edward F. Moork, son of the Rev. J. M.
Moore, of Walker county, Ga , was born
Msrcl 81 1860; and died July 15, 1877.
He was sensible of his up; roaching disso
lution, and was willing, if it was the Lori's
will, to depart and be .rithhis Savionr, whom
he had embraced Ju:y 4. He expressed deep
conviction for his sins, and regrette! having
nsglected his salvation so long. He said he.
like most of his youthful associates, thought
it brave and manly to resist the offers of
mercy ; but had lived to see his mistake. In
a conversation with his father, a ftw days be
fore his death, he said he desired to live, that
he might read the Bible more, and practice
its blessed precepts ; yet whs willing for the
Lord’g will *o be done. He was “snatched
as a brand from the eternal burning,' just in
time. Perhaps this may be read by many
who are trifling with life and health, and
neglecting the golden opportunities to make
their calling and election sure.
