Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to the merit? of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I 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. Oh the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which bad been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, I picked 1 ounces the same day showing difference of over 8500 per cent, between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls is each, and making calculation on this basis; I find that the land without the Guanahani would vicld 30 Ounces to the row. 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre : Printers fee $10.5q j witn Quaiuiham it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 800 pounds to the acre showing They little knew the passionate warmth I have not had an oopbrtunity to test the Com yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ,lhe heart whlch 8iie bMd eTer KeP' ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. umucu On one acre of ground, as a teat, I sowed 4UU ponnoe oi uuananani uroaucast, suosomug at the same time 15 inches' deep.

The road to the chnrch ran past the willow-fringed pend, snd for some reason unknown to any one, the horses attached to the carriage of the bride became fright ened aa they reached the little cove where Lord I.ouvian's body had been found.

Louvian was the heir to tbe little, tbe Abby, and the bulk of the Urge estate ; while Gerald, as the younger son, had only the family name of Rossmont, and an income of a thousand pounds a year. But the young men were noble and handsome, and both loved Argemorne Renaud each in his own way. Both were courtly in bearing, and as devoted to her aa even her exacting na ture conld require, bnt she loved only one of them, and unfortunately for her that one was Gerald, the young son.
