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. J.
We confidently expect the continued patronage of the Agricultural Community and no exer

From private to the Chief,
Come they from hovel or prirotely hall,
They fell for no, and for them should mil
the tears of a Nation's grief.
Gather the corpses strewn
OVr many a battle plain,
From many a graye that Ilea so lone,
Without a name and without a stone,
Uather the Southern slain.
We core not whence they came.
Dear is their lifeless clay !
Whether unknown, or known, to fame,
their cause and country still the same
They died and wore the Gray.
Wherever the brave hare died,
They should not rest apart ;
Living they struggle side bv side
Why should the hand ofdea'tk divide
A single heart from heart ?
Gather tlieir scattered day,
Wherever it may rest ;"
Just as they marched to the bloody fray,
Just as they fell on the battle day ;
Bury them breast to breast.
' i
The foemnn need not dread
This gathering of the brave:
Without sword or flag, and with
less tread,
We must muster once more our
dead
Out of each lonely grave.
The foe man need not frown,
They are all powerless now
We gather them here, and we lay
down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreath each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead
While the living o'er them ween ;
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall
led;
And the hearts that once together bled,
Together still shall sleep.

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

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.

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.

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

"Is what true, Uncle ?"
All this fol de-rol about your being en

yoorself. Harriet 1 Harriet ! I thought

"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

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

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

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

for money, you k now, Kate. Would

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
