The Horth Carolina HOME In offering this FERTILIZER to the Agricultural Community a Second Season we do so with the utmost Confidence, feeling satisfied that the high opinion, we formed, and expressed last season based on its Chemical Constituents have been most satisfactorily borne oat by the test, by which all Kerti Ilizers must be judged, that of the Plantation. Last season, owing to the lateness at which we commenced importing we were forced to pot our Gaano on the market at once, but now having continued our importations during the sum mer and fall, and having large and weH ventMated Warehouses in this City and City Point, we are enabled to put our Guano on the market, in a condition as to dryness, and freedom from lumps, equal to any Manufactured Fertilizer. We solicit a careful perstial of our Circular containing the certificates sent ns. and which can be had on application at this OFFICE, or from any of our AGENTS. Haying nothing to con ceal, we made an innovation on established image, by publishing those letters received unfavora ble to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its fsilure ass not owing to any taint in the Uuano, but to those far beyond our control e have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer, Peruvian Guano, but the concurrent testi mony of well known Farmers ami Planters from Maryland to the extreme Western counties of North Carolina, justify ua in claiming a place for our Fertiliser Superior to many, and Second to None.

A APPEEL FOR ARE TO THE T AN T OF THE OLD BRICK MEET IN H0U8X, BY . O ASPBB. Salisbury, N. O., October 10th, 1874. Messrs Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will slate that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be ooe of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February 1 bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been ! fertilized at the above rate. 8 pounds of seed cotton : from another immediately by the side of I this one. of the same lenzth. to which I had applied no fertiliser. I picked H ounces the some I . i n 0, . r DEiui . i . i l a.:i: J 1 . T ... 1 ,u- ouy snowing n mucrence 01 over oow per ceni. oeiween miiu irriiiiseu imi nui. i nwmcu mc number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre showing a difference of over 600 per cent. I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 pounds of seed cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PBOPST. f s li I re Agent et Salisbury Davie Co., N. C. Messrs Meroney & Bro. , Gbntlemex : In reply to your inquiry ss to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would say that I used It last Summer on an old field which would have produced eery poorly under ordi nary circumstances but which under the application of Guanahani yielded me a very good crop. I had one test row and this showed a diflerence of over three hundred per cent, in favor of the Guano. I am satisfied that it is a good Fertiliser and take pleasure in recommending it to every far mer who wishes to incressehis crops as being fully equal if not superior to any Guano on tha market.

I am Hattie Hyde, en old maid. least not a yonug one, and I intend to re main ao. But I came very near getting married last spring, and I will tell yon how it bap- I use of cataloguing them ell f pened. I am thirty-five, and not absolutely ugly at least, when I look in the glass I ses reflected there a good fresh com plexion, sparkling hazel eyes, snd an a bnndanee of brown bair. I might have married two or three times only I wasn't really ie love. But when Clarence Raymond came down to spend the vacation with his snot Mrs. Richford I must confe. e toe little womanly flatter around the hear:, for lie waa tall and handsome, and. in short, just the hero ot romauce that 1 bad alwaya dreamed about. "Hattie." said Mrs. Richford - we were quite confidential friends, and sailed one another II n tic and Pamela, end borrow, ed each other's books, and all sorts of things "Hattie, 1 thiuk Claieuee rather fancies you.' "Do you V said I, feeling the telltale ans ae. m n niusnes coming into my uce, and my heart began to thump beneath the pret ty lace tuckers of Valenciennes end pink ribbon that I had taketi to wearing every day. "I am certain of it," aaid Mrs. Rich ford ; 'and how nice it will be to have yon tor a cousin. "Ya." It waa very nice to be ngnged. He gave me a lovely cameo ring, choic er and more antique than any diamond could have been. It bad been his ruo'her's ring, he aaid, and he repeated the most deliciom poetry, and vowed that it expressed the vary sentiment of his heart. And we had wanderings in the cool, fern-scented woods, and 1 began to won der whether I should be married in white aatin or e dove colored traveling dress, and pink rihbona in my hat. One evening, net after Clarence had returned to hie unavoidable engagement in the city, eld Uncle Elnuthan came to visit me. Uncle Elnathan was ooe of those pei sons of whom we are apt to ask, "why were they ever created ? He was a venerable old gentleman, with long silver hair, that fell over the collar of hia bottle-green coat, and cloth gaiters that irresistibly reminded one of a black pussy eat, and he took snuff and talked through hia nose. "Harrietsaid Uncle EInatban "is this truel" "Is what true, Uncle ?" All this fol de-rol about your being en gaged to e man ten years younger than yoorself. Harriet 1 Harriet ! I thought yon bad better sense." "It's only five years, Uncle, said I. pouting, and I suppose I have a right to get engaged without sending to von for a permit. "Harriet, this is not a subject to be flippant about," aaid Uncle Elnathan. 'Von may depend upon it, that th is young, man is a mere fortune hunter. Yon have property, Harriet, and be has found it out." "Uncle !" I cried, starting op, "I will not listen tamely to such aspersions npon the character of one who "Well, my dear, yon needn't get exci ted," said the intolerable old gentlemen, topping his hsnd npon the lid of his silver snuff box. "Yon sre not a child, Harriet, nor yet e sentimental school girl. Let's talk the matter calmly over. "I decline to discuss it, sir, was my dignified reply. "My mind Is made up and no amount ot medliug interference can induce me to alter it." "But aren't yon just a little pert to wards your old Uncle, Hattie 1' - , So my Unele went away, silver hair. snuff-box, pussy gaiters, and all, and I s it down to make a memorandum of the things I should require for my wedding outfit. For I hsd resolved to mske su especial journey to Loudon cn that boai nees. Ah, the delight of reveling over coon frs full of choice, filmy laces, billows of bridal silks, oceans of tulle 1 it brought the color to my cheeks only to think of it. And besides, wsa It not necessary that Clarence's wife should have all that 'I'm only nj Other girls have been brides elect be fore me, and they all know just hew it all was. And as for those w bo havn't jest W them wait until their tarn comes. And then as the a an began to decline on its western way, I feliexeeeeivsly and uuromonticly hungry. "Is there a nice ladies' dining near were?" Une ot the shopmen went with me to the door to point oat a glittering establish ment, wi lb Its windows full of hot. house fruits, and morsels of paces end delicately tinted cakes. Deer me t London is the place to feel one's luaignificance. I dp not think that I, Hattie Hyde, ever felt ao smull in the whole course of my life ss I did walking over the floor of M Recbamier's Parisian restaurant, with a waiter running on before to point out a marble table aparkling with cat-glass end silver, and another following on behind carrying my traveling-bag and parasol; while an elegant Frenchman, curled end perfumed, stood in the middle of the door bowiog as if be were under eternal obli gations to me for ao much as coming in his establishment. I set down, feeling much sa if I were an impostor, venturing meekly to look around a little after the waiter had sim mered away. Then, for the first lime, I noticed a auperbly-dressed young lady, one or two tables beyond, in a lovely hat, with a : :ll - 1 ft a . ... mug. iuoc wuiow piame, ana neir nxe a shower of gold. Oh, how pretty she s thought I, "How proud her lover most be of her. I mened the lest bit in the world for ward, to see the young man in question. Good heaven 1 It Was Clarence. A I'd as I sat staring, completely con cealed from bis vie by the golden hair and the lilac willow plume, I could hear bis Mghl, peculiar laugh. You would 'ut have me yourself Kate, said be; you have only yourself to blame for it. ' That's no reason yoa should throw yourself away," pouted the lady. Sun's a desperate old maid, said Clar ence, as old as the hills and t w ice as an tiquated. But she's got the money. A man In my position has got to look out for money, you k now, Kate. Would you like to see ber photograph T And than the two heads were eloea to gether for en instant, and the young lady's rippling laugh mingled with Clarence's mellower tones. The idea of carrying such a thing next to yoar heart ' said she. - It does seem rather outrageous, don't ill id be. Bat when ws are married, aft that sort of thing will be over. I'll see that she finds ber level. Yes, when ! thought I, now thoroughly disenchanted. And I got up and harried oat of the res tan rant, nearly stumbling over a tray, a dich of oysters and cop of coffee. "I I vs changed my mind," laid I, flinging a sovereign toward him. Never mnd those oysters. I took the next train to C , and wrote a stratching note to Clarence the aame evening. Do you want, to know what was in it I Of course like all women's letters, the best port of it was ia the postscript. "Our engagement is at an sod. H. H. "P. S.
