agXaiOJHlI ?T ? A NT Tbe Watchtr. JEK. 1.11.-"Wlfat soest thoa? I Bee A rod of an almond tree." Then said the Lord unto me, "Thou hast well aeon, for I will hasten my word tc perform it." The almond tree in Hobrow, ?Imkert, signifies, "The waker," "Tho watcher. " My aonl waileth for tho Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I am watching for the morning, The night ie long and dreary; I h&ve waited for thodawnincr. Till 1 am sad and weary; I ara watching for the morning, When the sont) of Qod shall show All their beauteous adorning, . 80 dimly aeon below. I'm a Buangor and sojourner. A pilgrim on tho earth; A Bick and lonely mourner, Few o<??n my noble birth; But I'm watching for tfce morning Ohl when will morning come, And I chango the world's rndo scorning For tho fellowship of home? They call me ptrango and gloomy, But, ohl thev little dream Of the hopes that fill ray bosom, For I am not what I seem; I am watching for tho morning, When Ho who for me diod, In triumphant state returning, Shall claim the church hie bride* They ofton find me weeping, When I cannot tell them why, For they know not the deep meaning Of my spirit's sympathy; I am watching for thc morning Of a bright and glorious day, That shall hush creation's groaning And wipo her tears away. ' Tho earnest expectation Of all nature is abroad, Waiting tho manifestation Of tbo true eons of God; And I'm watching for the morning Timi snail "bul luc captive free," And shall chango the chains of bondage Into glorious liberty. A CHINESE GOD-FACTORY.-The Kev. Mr. Allen, a Methodist mission? ary of the Southern Church, in a recent letter, describes a visit to a manufactory of this kind at Wn-Sih, a large, walled, inland city of China. Here, also, I observed numerous god-factories and their zealous devo? tees shaping out of shapeless clay their forms so terrible. Thou sands were already made and set up to dry. Others were being painted, polished or gilt, and prepared for market. Others, again, were being manufac? tured for toys and dolls-the primers of idolatry, by which the infant mind becomes familiar with its supersti? tions and terrors, and is trained by its guardians, not "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," but in the way of death and darkness, with a zeal and efficicnoy which should make many a Christian mother blush. I appeared curious, and on express? ing astonishment at the undaunted familiarity with which they treated the gods and goddesses of war, wealth, thunder, fire, water, mercy, revenge, they, with the utmost sang froid, replied that they were yet powerless, being destitute of the Liing, or "Spirit." Those designed for toys, therefore, are never en? dowed with that living principle; nor are the others until the time of their installment as a reigning divinity. At that time, however, they are pos? sessed of tho "Ling," by means of a small hole in the centre of the back; if the idol be diminutive, or a large, oblong one, in the more august, in which there aro deposited pearls, gems, or some of the more precious metair, such os gold end silver of variou.: estimations. The hole is then closed and sealed, tho god per? fected, and henceforth worshipped, as well by his makers as those more ignorant of his origin. This fuct will also assist us to account, at, least in part, for the iconoclastic fury of the rebels. They were to despoil and destroy them, not so much because they loved the idol less, but because they loved the gold his buck con? tained the more. Sunday school instruction is not wanted at Kansas City. Says the Journal of Commerce: "A friend of ours has two boys, aged respectively six and eight years. The younger was partaking pretty largely of the good things of this life at the dinner table, immediately on their return from Sabbath School last Sunday. The elder, after eyeing his brother for some time, said: 'Charlie, if you were to eat much more, and it should kill you, you would weigh so much that the angels couldn't carry you to Heaven.' Little six year old hesi? tated for a moment and. then, look? ing up, replied: 'Well, if they couldn't do it alone, God would send Sampgon down to help them.' " The carriers of Susan Anthony^ paper, the Revolution, are chiefly little girls, wearing a pretty uniform, short red dress. They attract much attention in New York city. THB TOMB OF RACHEL.-Jamos Brooks, senior editor of the New York Express, writes to that journal from the Holy Land: Upon my return to Bethlehem, I roda by the tomb of Bache!-a small*] building, with a whitened dome, and haviug within it n high, oblong mon? ument, built of briok and stuccoed over. This spot is wild and solitary -sud not a tree spreads ita shadow where rests the beautiful mother of Israel. Chrioiin?, Jew mm ?iosiem, all agree this is just the spot where Kachel was buried, and all unite in honoring it. Tho Turks nre anxious that their ashes may rest near hers, trad hence their bodies have been strewn under tombs nil around the tomb of Kuchel. The sweet domes? tic virtues of tho wifo have won their love and admiration, as the tomb of Absalom, near the brook of Kedron, their detestation-upon tho latter they throw a stone to mark their hor? ror of the disobedient son, while around the former, they wish, when they die, their bodies may be inter? red. Nor is this wonderful. The wife, worth fourteen years of service as shepherd, must have been a wife worth haviug. The wholo lifo of Kuchel is, indeed, one of the most touching in Biblical history. The sweet shepherdess has left her mark upon tbe memory of man, as well as her tomb. The tribute to her is the tribute to a good wife-and infidel, Jew and Christian, all combine to pay it. The great women of the earth-the Zenobias and Cleopatras -have died, been buried, and their very place of burial been forgotten; but to this day stands over the grave of Rachel, not the pillar Jacob set up, but a modern, monument in its place, around which pilgrims from every.land under the sun gather in respect and reverence for the faithful wife and good mother in Israel. "Feedye Islanders," commenced an unhappy missionary, as he landed and advanced towards the barbari s. They took bim at his word. M. w.

Gentlemen: 1 arndell pleased with tljo result of the UBO ?T the "Double Refined 1'oudrette" on ray crops. I tried it on both corn and cotton, and ara satisfied whorever it was applied tho yield was more than double what it would havo been without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it more extensively tho present year, but will try to muko up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as the cheapest, most reliable, ano easiest man? aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it fas I havo 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 ton days to two weeks earlier than it would without the uso of tho Poudrette. I also lined it on mv garden, and found it of much benefit to ail kinds of plants. Very respectfully, kc. Q. 8. OGLE8BY. Extract from a lotter received from Prof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney College, Va., dated July 1, 1867: The Double 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 the cheap? est and surest renovator of our worn-out lands. - High Shoals, Ga., October 4, 1867. J?mea R. Dei, csu,. Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-one of them used it on cotton and oom, and thinks it answered finely; the other put it on cotton, on very poor gronnd, and thinks it doubled his crop. I used it on corn. It answered finely, and was thought by the hand that cultivated the crop to be fully equal to Rhode's 8uper Phosphate. I also used it on about an aero of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it is tho best and cheapest fertilizer in uso, and I expect to order several tons this winter. Yours, very respectfully, I8AA<?POWELL. Ellaville, Schley Co., Ga., Oct 4,1867. Tho Double 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 rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed. Yours, Arc, 8. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, JV. C., August 10, 1867. James R. Dey, Esq. Dear Sir: i can safely say that your Double Refined Poudrette is far superior to any other fertilizer for cotton; for! have given it a fair trial this season. Yours, JEHU FOSTER, Ja. Savannah, Ga., September 25, 1867. James R. Dey, Esq., President. Dear Sir: I used the Doublo Refined Poudrette, bought of you last spring, or corn. I think it increased the yield one half. I consider it an excellent manure. Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Ridgeway. S. C., September 21, 1867. Mr. James B. Dey.' Sir: I applied the Double Refined Pou drette by itself, and in combination witt other fertilizers, on cotton, and am pleaspc with it; so much so that it ie my presen intention to purchase a larger supply o yon the next year to apply to my cottoi crop. Youro very respectfully, HENRY C. DAVIS. Rocky Mount, Edgecomb Co., JV. C. Nov 13 James R. Dey, Esq. ?ir: lu reply to your Inquiry of the re suits of our experience in the uso of you improved Poudrette-purchased of yo?i fo this year's cotton crop-wo would beg leav to say that the present season has bcoi one quite unfavorable to tho action of al fertilizers. Several kinds of manures wero used b us, with the except i n of your Poudretti with little or no effect to the crop. Whore the Poudrette was uned, it gav UB near half a balo moro per acre, an caused the cotton to open much oarliei and we would, therefore, recommend th same as a concentrated manure for th growth of co ton, as well as improvemoii to tho soil.
