"Halloa I" he exclaimed "that is no place for yon. J should have pot it in my pocket-book. Here, wife, don't you want some ready money r and he threw the note across the table to her. "Many thanks," she replied ; " money is always acceptable, although I have no present use for it. She folded the note and pat it under the edge of the ten tray, and then proceeded to pour out the tea aud attend to the wants of her guests.

C, October 10th, 1874. Messrs Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Gnanahani Guano, I will state that I hare given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilisers now in use in our country. In the month of February 1 bought two ton and applied jt over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundstothe acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rode long, which hsd been fertilised st the above rate. 8 pounds of seed cotton : from another immediately by the side of this one, of the aama length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 1 ounces the same dav howina!a difference of over 8500 per cent, between land fertilised and not. I counted the number ot unopened ooiis in eacn, anu mating calculation on wis oasis, i una mat me isnu i ssor now tne constant ram uestroyed ths bsy ; without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to tbe sere ; I But tell him God was very kind, with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the sere showing I And when tbe fever spread the country a difference of over 600 per cent. ov'r, I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- Hia mercy kept the "sickness from our door. ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent.

Messrs Meroney tc Bro. Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry ss to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would say that I used it last Summer on an old held which would have produced very poorly under ordi nary circumstances but which under the application of Guaoahani yielded me a very good crop. I had one test row snd this showed a difterence of over three hundred per cent, in favor of the Guano. . I am satisfied that it is a (rood Fertilizer and take pleasure in recommending ,t to every far mer who wishes to increasebis crops as being fully equal if not superior to any Guano on the fiy T weary lefcgue ghore m IUlCl.

"Dear Grace, here is another five dol lars on my account," ssid sunt Susan, handing it to Grace. "And you, Frank, have received ten dollars for the music yon bought me," raid Grace, handing it to ber brother. "And I pay you teu dollars for my board," continued he, snd the note once more rested in Mr. Baker's banns. Tbe exchanges were as quick as thought, aud we were convulsed with laughter, "Was there ever so wonderful an eg- change I ' exclaimed Grace. It's all nonsense 1" cried Mr. Biker. "Not iu the least," auswered his wife, "It's all quite right." "Certainly," said Frank; "when tjie money belonged to you, you could dis pose of it as you would ; 1 have the same right. It is a fair kind of exchange, al though very uncommon." "It shows the use of money," said aunt Susan ; "It makes the circuit of the world, and brings its value to every one who touches it." "And this note has not finished It work yet, as I will show you, my dear husband, if you will give it to me again," said Mrs. Baker. "I present yon with this five-dollar fraud you, aud 1 will send you the mou ey from Bologna.'
