CIR E EN- SAL D M ARL
OF NEW JERSEY.

THE New Jersey Fertilizer Company is now
Il prepared to receive orders for this important
manure. For all lands upon which ashes are ben
efcial, the Mari is more than a substitute.
Prof Cook in his Annual Report to the Legis-
lature of New Jersey says: sThe value of these
Mars is best in the rich and highly cultivat-
ed district which has been improved, almost made.
by their use /: but it may be interesting to exam
inc the Of their great value in Agriculture,
and to compare them with other fertilizers. For
examples The potash alone may be taken at an
average of five per cent. of the whole weight of the
Marl bushel when dry weighing eighty pounds,
and in the proportion mentioned would contain
four pounds of potash; this is nearly as much as
again-it is probable that the great value of the
Mari is to be found in the fact that it contains
ly all the substances necessary to make up the ash
of our common cultivated plants.
Price, delivered on board vessel at the wharves
of the Company at Portland Heights on Raritan
Bay, New Jersey, seven cents per bushe. For
further particulars, Circular sent free of pos

Anecdote of the Late Hrs. Writ.

We last week recorded the death of
Mrs. Writ, the wife Of the late distin-
guished and eloquent William Writ,
whose commanding abilities and great
learning gave him and honorable position
among the greatest men our country ever
produced. There is an anecdote related
Of the early life of this couple, which is
in itself, very beautiful, and exhibits in a
pleasing light one Of the noblest traits of
true woman. In his youth Writ was
addicted to intemperance, and passed
whole days and nights in the society of
the low and degraded. His passion for
drink was constant, and the remonstran-
ces Of friends as we'll as the promptings
of high aud generous nature, were dis
regarded. He had offered himself to this
lady, but she was forced to reject his suit
because Of his great intemperance. This
refusal no doubt served only to increase
the intensity Of his appetite and he con
tinued to sink in the. scale of humanity,
without making one effort to regain his
manhood, until one day, becoming gross
ly intoxicated, he laid down by the road
side, and fel! asleep The sun was burn
ing hot, and its scorching rays fell upon
his upturned face. The object of Wirt's
affections happening to pass by, observed
his precarious situation, in view of the
hot sun falling so directly upon him, and
actuated by feeling of sympathy for the
unfortunate to which woman's heart is
always SO keenly aud truly aliye-s she
alighted from her carriage, and placed
her handkerchief over his face to protect
him from the hot sun. 1t may be re-
marked that when she alighted she did not
recognize him, so altered and distorted
were his features. She drove on, and
it was several hours ere Writ awoke.-
When he did SO, what was his astonish-
ment at beholding the handkerchief of a
lady placed over his face, and diyining its
object, pick itup. and observed, neatly
worked in one corner, the initials of his
hearts idol. Remorse and contrition
seized him. He reformed, and became
once more an honored member of society
Afterwards they were married, and en-
joyed long years Of peace and happiness
in the affection and society of each other
I-.Abany Statesman.

Advantages of Politeness.

An elderly lady passing down busy
street in New Haven, was overtaken by
a sudden shower. She was some distance
from any acquaintance, and had no UNI
brella. She was celebrating what to do
when pleasant voice beside her said:
Will you take my umbrella, madame
The speaker was boy perhaps ten
years old.
=" Thank you" said the lady,"I am
afraid you will get wet"
Never mind me ma Fam; I am but a
boy and you are a lady"
But perhaps you will accompany me
to friends, and then l shall not find it
necessary to rob YOU
The boy did SO, and reccived.the thanks
of the lady, and departed. se
Two years rolled away. The lady oft
en- related the Circumstance, and often
wondered what had become of her friend,
but little thinking ever to see him again.
In the dull season of the year this boy
was thrown out Of employment, and the
circumstance going to the knowledge of
this lady, she gave him good home till
March, when she introduced him to a
goodasituation. Verify, kindness seldoms
goes unrequited. aa l
