"MEET UZZIE AT %\%" That was all the despatch contain? ed. Four little words; yet what ex? citement they caused in the house? hold at Maple Cottage; the quiet, .sober household, whose members, at the moment of its reception, vere on the point of retiring to rest for the night. "Meet Lizzie nt sixl" Was our darling indeed so near us? Two years and three months bad passed since our eyes bad been gladdened by her girlish beauty, since her voice had mingled with the the bird-musio that floated all the long Summer days among the maplos. Two years and threo months ehe had beeu buried among books, in a far away city, bowing her sunny curls over algebra, geometry and philosophy, astronomy and botany, French and Latin ; patiently at lirst, because her parents desired it; afterwards cheer? fully, to pleaso the teachers she had learned to love; and at last zealously, from puro thirst for tho treasure these studies unlooked to ber. But it was over now, these toilsome yeurs, and she was on ber way once more our Lizzie, our pet and pride-we should "meet ber at six." Sho had left 13. in the morning; had journeyed without stopping all day; this we gussed at once; and at eight in tho morning, finding a hasty opportunity, she bad telegraphed to us the words above. At six, the Eastern train arrived at our station; Lizzie was to rido all night, for tho sake of reaching homo thus early. It was like ber; impulsive, warm? hearted child that she was! How little wo slept that night! What slight sounds aroused us; how early we were all astir-even the baby, and tho wbite-haired grand? father. "Meet Lizzie, oh?" ho said; "aye, indeed, will we!" And tho old man's voice caught a youthful tone, and his crutches an elastic move? ment, as ho bobbled about the house, giving orders, as if all the responsi? bility rested upon him, to be sure. Tbero was Hannah, too, bewilder? ing tho mother about breakfast. "Did Lizzie like coffee or cocoa best?" And would sho niako biscuits or waffles? And tho mother, smiling all tho time, nodded her head to everything, and wont hurrying about, with tito gridiron in ono hand and tho ogg-boiler in tho other, coaxing Fanny to curl the baby's hair, and looking at tho clock every five mi? nutes. But Fanny, with mysterious spoon-fuls of something, waa Hitting Up-stairs and down, leaving a book here, a (lower tbero, a dngnerrootypo on table, or a rosy-cheeked fall applo in tho window-something for Lizzio to see and ?milo at. Only tho father seemed undisturbed. Wo noticed, to bo sure, tho dimples in luseheeks, which Lizzie always said she made with ber lingers when she was a babe, looked deeper when ho smiled, and that bis voice v as a trillo less steady when be told Thomas to bring tho horses; but be did not liko to bo con? sidered a demonstrative man, so we looked significantly at each other, and said nothing. Still waters aro sometimes very deep. At hut tho carriage came round, and we got in; two of ns beside the other, who was to drive. There waa room for more, but it was quito out of her lino, the mother said, to go on A dashing drive before breakfast; so i m II in i i wo left her on the piazza with A Eicklu-di&h ip ber hand, and wiping er oyes with lier apron. It was hali a mile to tho depot, and the tun had not quite risen when wo started. How balmy the air was, that soft September morning. We thought, egotists that we were, in otir happiness, that nature sympathized with ns. It seemed as if there had never been so fair a sun rising be? fore, and as if half tho glory of the morning would have been wasted had not Lizzie been coming -home. The cara had not arrived when we stopped at the station, but we heard the whistle of the looomotive, not very distant; and those few sweet mo? ments-what n world ; of blessed an? ticipation they held. ' The sun was rising-ah, Lizzie!. Lizzie 1 At last tho train came nb-stop? ped. Wo looked at tho windows; only a row of sad faces! Lizzie must have sat on tho other sido. A fow pas sencrera mma nut, sols-n-ficcd asd silent. We pressed forward-so did those who were going out of - the train. The conduotor appeared and waved everybody back, then motion? ed to somebody in tho car. Two men carno out and slowly doscended the steps, bearing a lifoless body-a woman, her features covered by a | veil. They bore it into the saloon, and laid it reverently upon the sofa. Still the conductor waved tho crowd baok-except our party. He knew us, and turned away his face as we approached. Then we knew how it was; all ex? cept father; ho could not believe. Firmly he raised the veil from the dead face. Oh, God! all mercifull] It is thus we meet thee, Lizzie, dar? ling, our best beloved, idol of our J hearts! Ia a briof time wo learned the story. At the very last stopping-place, Lizzie had left tho car to procure some food for a little child that had fretted all night in tho arms of a wearied mother. The train stopped but a moment; it was dusk ^nd none of the officers had seen her leave it. oho returned hastily, to find it mov? ing; made a mis-step, fell forward and tho rest is a common tale, such as newspapers chronicle every week.

Gentlemen: I am well pleased with tho result of tho nse of the "Double Refined Poudrette" on my crops. I tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it was applied tho yiold was more than doublo what it would have been without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it moro extensively the present yoar, but will try to make up my foss by purchasing a largor quantity next spring. I regard it as tho cheapest, most rcliablo, and easiest ninn r.gcd fertilizer ??thin my knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it (as I have tried it thoroughly) to the farmers of this section, and particularly to those planting cotton, from tho fact of its causing 'it to mature from ton days to two weeks earlier than it would without the use of tho Poudrette. I also used it on my garden, and found it of much benefit to ail ?iuds of plants. Very respectfully, ftc. G. 8. OGLESBY. Extract from a lotter received from Prof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney College, Va., dated July 1, 1867: Tito Doublo Refined Poudrette is operat? ing like a charm on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholders. I am already satisfied that it is tho cheap? est and surest renovator of our worn-out lands. - nigh Slioals, Ga., October 4, 18G7. James R. Dev, Esq. Sir: Tho Double Refined Poudrette I bonght for two other parties in connection with myself-ono of them used it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; tho other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled bis crop. I used it on corn. It answered finely, and waB thought by tho hand that cultivated the crop to be "fully equal to Rhode's Super Phosphate. I also used it on about an acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it is the best and cheapest fertilizer in uso, and I expect to order several tons this winter. Yours, very respect full v, ISAAC POWELL. EUatiUe, ScJdey Co., Ga., Oct. 4, 18C7. The Doublo Refined Poudrette, pur? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my crop of cotton 150 pounds per acre; put it upon worn-out pine land, at the rato of 200 pounds per acre, dulled in with cotton Bced. Yours, Ac., S. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, JV. C., August 10, 1S67. James R. Doy} Esq. JJeur Sir: i can safely say that your Double Refined Poudrette is far superior to an> other fertilizer for cotton; for 1 havo given it a fair trial this season. Yours, JEHU FOSTER, JR. Satannah, Ga., September 25, 18G7. James R. Dey, Esq., President. Dear Sir: I used tho Double Refined Poudrette, bought of you last spring, on corn. I think it incroased the yield one half. I consider it an excellent manure. Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. liidgetcay, S. C., September 21, 1867. Mr. James R. Dey. Sir: 1 applied the Doublo Refined Pou? drette by itself, and in combination with other fertilizers, on cotton, and am pleased with it; so much so that it is my present intoution to purchase a larger supply ot you the next year to apply to my cotton crop. Yours very respect full v, HENRY C. DAVIS. Hock y Mount, Edgecomb Co., X, C. JVbo 13. James R. Dey, Esq. Sir: In reply to your inquiry of the re? sults of our experience in tho use of your improved Poudrotto-purchased of you foi this year's cotton orop-wo would beg leave to say that the present season baa boon ono quite unfavorable to the action of all fertilizers. Several kinds of manures wcro used by us, with tho exception of your Poudrotto, with little or no effect to tho crop. Whcro the Poudrette was used, it gave us near half a halo moro per aero, and caused tho cotton to open much earlier; and wo would, therefore, recommend thc samo as a concentrated manure for thc growth of cotton, as well as improvement to thc soil.
