Only a Baby's arare.
Only a baby'? gravel
Some foot or two, at tbs most,
Of star-daisied sod. yet I think that God
Knows what that little cost.
Only a baby's gravel
To children even bo email,
That they sit ibero and sing-so small a
thing , -
Seems scarcely a gravo at all!
Only a baby'B gTavel
Strange! bow we moan and fret
For a little face that waa here auch a spaco;
Ohl more strange, could we forgot!
Only a baby's grave!
Did we measure grief by this,
Few tears were abed on our baby dead
I know how they fell on this.
Only a babv'a gravel
Will tho little lifo be much
Too small a gem for His diadem,
Whoso kingdom is made Of snell?
Cu'ij ? baby's gravel , .
Yet often we como and sit
By the little stone, and thank God to own
We are nearer to Him for it.
Sat l.ovlnjrcofVR Dream.
I waa brfnJ dry tother day, George,
an findin a lot ov green whisky, I jist
oucked in a skinful ov it strait along.
The fust mouthful I swallowed I
h earn splosh in my heels. I wur dry
and empty both, by golly, so, dry
that arter hit riz purtywell up in
me, hit soaked through and stood all
over me in drabs, making me look
Jike a big rehkulo kivered with
beads, bnt I swelled tighter arter a
while, then I filled np purty soon.
As soon as I oood retch hit by run?
ning a spoon handle down my thrpte,
I shot off steam, and sot into roving
Tonn. Hit warnt long before I found
myself tangled by the laigs in
the dorg fennel, and I fell in a heap
down hill, so I thort tho most peace?
ful thing I could do war to go to
sleep, a thinkin ov a running win
mill.
Well, I dreamed me a dream. I
thort I wur in hell, and had been
sent thar fur voting the radikil
ticket. I felt the j es tico ov the sen-'
tence so much that I didn't feel so
oneasy and mad about hit as I wold
a bin ef they had sent me thar f tu.
murdering a bline Ole oman, or mak?
ing a back log uv snm gal's fust
baby, arter soaMn hit in turpentine,
or sich like common wickedness. I
thort I hed bin thar long enuf tb
sorter begin to. git used to the taste
ov the whisky they stills down thar,
an I muss say I thinks hit a little
better than the truck what the
skulkers out ov the Confedrit army
biled for the Government, because
hit didn't create tho appetite to cus,
steal or desart half aa soon on me, in
Tophet, as that. 'Twas safer whisky,
George, safer whisky. Well, I thort
hell was a perfec roun hole-as roun
as a bum snell, right in the souter ov
the yearth. The walls wur glazed as.
slick as au inyun peelin, and wur but
jest half full ov melted dinner pots,
dorg irons, an ole clock wates, with
a scum of smoking brimstone a foot
deep. The devil staid aboard ov a
boto, and had hisself rowed roun jest
as he pleased, by the jury what foun
the bill again Jeff. Davis. They look?
ed like thade like to have another
pop at that job. I think, by golly,
thade hunt a long spell afore tha
found hit agin.
I thort thar war long lether aidged
cleats nailed to the wall to clime by.
Tha wur squar aidged up, so the
climiu has all to be done on one side,
an when fellows got tired ov swim
min, they jest sot into diming the
cleats. I noticed that new comers
wur powerful fond ov climin. Thade
sorter slack off sometimes, ontil tba
sunk into the melted clock wates up
to tho pint ov their tail bone, and by
the gost ov a skeered monkey, theyd
come up overhanded to their work
agin jest a wriglin and a snortin.
They worked like squrils on a tred
' mill. Durned ef tha dident keep the
thin rollin strate along, and George,
jest as sure aa you ar a fut high, thats
what keeps the yearth turnin roun ; I
found hit out at lust.
Well, one day the trap door open?
ed and the devil ordered old Forney
to steer under the hole. Ho steers
wild, and after swimming nearly all
over hell, he got thar, wheu down
poured into the bote the darnedest
slnice of mean looking cusses you
e*er seed. Every body already thar
turned thar heads to look at 'em, an
clum faster, skeered at 'em by gol!.
Tba wur radikila, the last durned
one. Sum had ropes roun their nex,
with running nooa aland the year,
sum had holes in their heads, sum
had a big gil) out under their chin,
and every one showed sines of bard
times an hurry. I seed Stevens,
Sumner, Wade, Butler, (6ur-named
the Beast,) and Wendell Phillips.
"Hey," sez tho devil, "what's roug
above-colery?" "Wns nor that,"
sez Sumner, "the Constitution peo?
ple has riz, an ov koree, we aro here;
say, your Majesty, is Preston Brooks
kore?' "Oh, no," sez the devil.
"Well, sez Snmner, sorter bright
sin up and robbin his hans. "I'm
dnmed glad ho ain't." "Stop a
minit," sez the devil, "wait till I sort
you all out." He took up a needil
as long as a harpoon, and with a big
quile of trace chains he threaded it.
j ' ?,n he pioked out all the common
cujses among 'em, an strung 'em on
the chain, an hung the whole bnnoh
over tho aidge of the boto into the
brimstone. Jehossaphat! how they
sizzled and dove and sloshed an
sprinkled hot iron about with theil
II ? ! i* r f U -1 ?n
tails. A 8triug of sun pearch -would
a bin no whar. . 1
While the devil wir a aortin the
small fry, Butler, sur-named the
Beast, aidged back to whar I sot in
the bote, a keepin one eye sorter on
the devil, an totber on me, aud he
whispered in my year, "Whar's Sis
pbu8?" Sez I, "I don't know; why?w
"O, nothiu; only wanted to see
which node the most ov ou J t raids,
him or me." Then he whispered,
(that mortal off eye ov hisn still sot
on the devil,) "Say, do you know
whar bis majesty keeps bis spoons?"
Sez I, "Does you seo tbat chain
hangiu over the starn? He keeps
'em in a big pot sunk at totber eend
ov bit." He jest went over the starn
head fust, and cooneel hit down tho
chain, outenside under the Jarim
stone. Arter being down a spell, he
S?? b?Ck, IOC IV lil u W|Hi l n:n HIM-, LTUb
His general loox wur powerfully im?
proved by a bath in melted brim?
stone. I swow he lookt a heap more
like a human. Sez he, "Gone-pot
and all." I opened my eyes. Sez
he, "Haint Forney got em?" Sez I,
"Mebby so-he's bin fumblin round
tho starn a good while." Derned ef
he didn't sarch every pocket ole For?
ney had, and the ole cus never cotch
him at it, and he got the spoons.
While this was agoing on, old
Thad wur a trying to claim kin with
the devil, a comparai bis foot along
with old Nick's. I think the pint
wur to git offis, for I bearn tho devil
keep saying, "No, no, I be durn ef I
do; we has order here now," an all
the time ole Wade were a pesterin bis
majesty for a free ticket on bis dog?
gery. I seed that the devil wur a
gittin monstrous oneasy. Wendell
Phillips kept a watching fust the side
that went down under the dimers,
and then the side what come np out
ov tbe hike. He just hopped over?
board, and swum over thar, an tried
his durndest to turn bit totber way.
He grabbed tbe slopin side ov the
cleats, and held on as long as be
could, and then slosh back agin
among the melted dorg-irons and
brimstone. I reckon be must a made
fifty trials afore he quit and swum
back to the bote, and then be sot in
the most yearnest manner, to per?
suade the devil to take off the cleats
an nail em on again upside down, so
as to run bell backward, and ov
koree the outside world with bit,
without givin a reason why hit would
help the matter. This made the
devil bile over. He sed not a durned
one ov em should stay thar another
honr; tbat thade raise a rebellion and
destroy the institution; and then what
would the world do, particularly New
England? I tell you he jest reared;
sez he, "I'll clear my dominions ov
Son durned quick," and he ranged a
ig bum mortar what were in the
bote, point blank at the hatch-hole,
and he loaded in ole Wade, feet fust,
and made Forney tetoh it off. By
golly, he went whizzin thru the hole,
and hit rained whiskey on tbe lake
ontil it burnt bine. Next he grabbed
ole Thad. Sez be, tremblin, "Please,
your majesty, lode her in with me,"
pintin to a she nigger strung on a
chain. Sez the devil, "No, sir, I
think we can manage her arter you
ere gone, and besides she loox like
sbe needed a little rest." Bang! and
I jest cotch a glimps ov Thad's
crooked foot scrapin a splinter off the
batch. Coming nex, be yoked Sum?
ner, and he begged to be loaded bed
fust, as he sed he'd always traveled
?turn fust thru life, an be wanted to
finish bis jerny tbe same way on
account of bis record. So, stum
fnst bo come oaten the hatch-bole,
and I recon stum fust be busted agin
sumtbin away yonder on the outside.
Butler's, sur-named the Beast, turn
come next. While the devil wur a |
loadin him in, I observo bim busy j
butnin up bis pockets. When the
mortar fired, I was watcbin tho i
hatch-hole dost ; I didcot like the i
idea ov his leavin, but durned ef he
.went thar-he followed tbe line of
bis cock eye, and busted inter a mil?
lion pieces agin the wall. Spoons an
breast-pins fell a foot deep all over
the lake, an 1 beam wimmin all cheer.
The devil then Hoked his lips an
went for Wendell, but he jest loped
overboard and dove, and to save his
life the devil couldn't find him.
He'll raise trouble thar yet, see if he
don't. Nex he grabbed Forney, his
steersman, au sez he, "you don't
steer to suit me," an ho commenced
loadin him in, and don't you believe,
jest as the ousses' bed were goin out
of site, he whispered in the devil's
ear that I was Jamison, the actor.
Tbe devil remarked, "I've got notbin
agin Jamison; you is the one," made
at me by golly jest because he seed
the Beast out-smarted him in the
spoon business.
Thar will be peace in hell for a
short while if the devil can ketch
Wendell, and reconstruct the durned
raskil. I recon he will ketch him, for
he set all the revenue detectives arter
him, an I tell yon, George, bell is
full of tho mean cusses, an more a
cumin. Ole smutty reached for me
last one, and put me down his gun.
I sot into oeggin hard. Sez he,
"you most go, the prosperity of my
kingdom demands that nuthin havin
the smell ov radikil on to his close
kin stay here." -

Gentlemen: I am well pleased with the
result of the use of the "Double Refined
Pondre tte" on my crops. I tried it on both
corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever
it was applied the yield was more than
double what it would have been without it.
I regrot exceedingly my not using it moro
extensively the present year, but will try
to makeup my loss by purchasing a larger
quantity next spring. 1 regard it as the
cheapest, most reliable, and easiest man?
aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and
cheerfully recommend it 'aa I have tried it
thoroughly) to the farmers of this section,
and particularly to those planting cotton,
from the fact of its causing it to mature
from ten days to two weeks earlier than it
would without tho uso of tho Poudrettc. I
also used it on my garden, and found it ol
much benefit to all kinds of plants. Very
respectfully, <Xc. G. 8. OGLESBY.

Sir: Tho Double Refined Poudretto :
bought for two other parties in counectioi
with myself-one of them useditoncottoi
and corn, and thinks it answored finely
tho other put it on cotton, on very poo
ground, and thinks it doubled his crop,
used it on corn. It answered finely, am
was thought by tho hand that cultivatei
the crop to be fully equal to Rhodu'?>3upe
Phoaphato. I also used it on about ai
acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opiuio:
that it ia the best and cboapcBt fertilizo
in use, and I expect to order several ton

to say that tho present season has been
one quite unfavorable to thc action of all,
fertilizers.
Several kinds of manures wcro used by
ns, with the exception of your Foudretto,
with little or no effect to tho crop.
Whero the Poudretto was used, it gave
us near half a bale moro per acre, and
caused the cotton to open much earlier;
and wo would, therefore, recommend the
same as a concentrated manure for the
growth of cotton, as well as improvement
to tho soil. Yours, very respectfully,
