The Happy Village.
BY KANE O DONNEL.
As often I pas the roadside,
When wearily tails the day,
I turn to loo'x Irom the hill-top
At the mountains far away.
The red sun through the lorests,
Throws hither its parting beams.
And far in the quiet valley
The happy village gleams.
1, There the lamp is Jit in the cottage
.-- As the husbandman's labors cease,:
And I think that all things are gathered
And folded in twilight peace.
.But the sound of merry voices
Is heard in the village atreet,
i While pleased the gridame watches
. The play of the little feet
And at night to many a firoside
The rosy children come;
To tales of the bright eyed fairies
They listen and are dumb.
There seems it a joy forever
aO labor and to learn, .
For love with an eye of magic
Is patient to discern.
And ihe father blesses the mother,
And the children bless the sire,
And the cheer and joy oi the hearthstone
t Is as light Irom an altar fire. ,
t
0h flowers of rarest beauty
In that green valley grow ;
And whether 'twere earth or heaven
Why shouldst thou care to know ?
Bave that thy brow is troubled,
And dim is thy helpmate's eye ;
And graves are green in the valley.
And stars are bright iu the sky.
A Mother's Influence.
Who can raeasnre the influence of
a mother oh the young and immor
tal minds of her children ? Her
looks, her actions, her smiles, or her
frowns on her children: stamp im
pressions on their minds which will
last forever. She gives a 'moulding
influence to their character, their
corrse of life, their temporal and
eternal well being. They rise to the
glories and happiness of heaven, or
sink to the woes and rnin of a lost
eternity, much : according as the
mother trains them up for God, or
allows them, through neglect, to
grow up in selfishness and sin. The
mother sits at the threshold of their
existence, and directs their first tot
tering foot-6tep8. Her duties w at
the foundations ot human society,
and from these young springs of life
flow out in all their after existence,
streams ot bitter or sweet, purified or
poisonous. California Agriculturist.

A monopoly of this valuable deposit has been created in favor of this Company by thft

GUANAHANI GUANO COMPANY,
PETERSBURG, VA.
In offering this FERTILIZER to the Agricultural Community a Second Season, we dp 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 satifactorily borne ont by the
test, by which all Fertilizers must be judged, that of the Plantation.
Last season, owing to the lateness which we commenced importing, we were forced to pat
onr Guano on the market at once, bat now having continued our importations during the.
summer and fall, and having large and well ventilated Warehouses in this City and at 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 perusal of . our Circular containing the certificates sent us, and which
can be had on application at this OFFICE, or from any of our AGENTS. Having nothing
to conceal, we made an innovation on established usages, by publishing those letters received '
unfavorable, to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of.its
ailure was not owing to any fault in the Guano, but to those far beyond our control. We.,
have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilize", Peruvian Guano, but
the concurrent testimony of well known Farmers and Planters, from Maryland to the ex
treme Western counties of North Carolina, justify us in claiming a place for our Fertilizer
Superior to many, and Second to None.
We confidently expect the continued patronage of the Agricultural community, and noex
ertion shall be spared on our part to make .
