PHILADELPHIA PHOSPHATE

Under the above brand l propose to introduce
a SuperphoSphate of Lime manufactured from
the phosphate deposits recently discovered on
the Ashley river, near Charleston, S. G.
The above wonderful and almost ineXhaustble
deposits are found spread over many thousand
acres. and have been used as a substitute for
bone by phosphate manufacturers an Ph'tade-
phia and other places. Owing to the low price
and great ease with which this material can be
worked as compared with bone, it will, If found
to GnSsoer q good purpose be extensively used
hereafter and it is with the view of giving to the
farmers the best article that be produced from
this substance that have commenced the manu-
facture of new phosphate under the above
brand.
will warrant my Philadelphia Phosphate su-
perior to any other phosphate manufactured from
the same materials, and guarantee the quality
uniform and genuine.
Farmers should purchase their fertilizers from
reliable manufacturers, and thus save themselves
the liability of losing their crops.
For some crops these new kinds of phoSphates,
if carefully manufactured by experienced men,
will no doubt answer a satisfactory purpose, but
for quick action and lasting qualities, Bone PhOS-
pilates cannot fail to command the first choice of
New England farmers.

rI1SING TEA-RLACK DRAGON CHOP

NSlNG IEA-BLACh DRAGON CHOF'
II Natural Leaf, perfectly pure CTsing signifies
pure.) Prepared without any coloring or foreign
substance. Cured on Porcelain (nOt copper,)
over a slow fire. Delightful flavor, exceedingly
powerful and strong. Combines all the healthy
virtues of the tea plant. Mandarins and higher
class of natives use no other.
This celebrated tea was first introduced here
by the ORIENTAL TEA COMPANY, in May, 1865
when the limited quantity imported was rapidly
sold, at the high price OF 81 80 pound. 1t met
with such unqualified approval, and the demand
for it from all sections was so great, that the Com
pany at once made arrangements to procure
larger supply, upon more favorable terms, for
the future and they have just received the first
invoice for this year, which will be sold at the
low price of 81 10 a pound, at which (but little
over one half what 1t cost one year ago., 1t is the
cheapest tea known and the Company feel that
they cannot too highly recommend it to all who
drink tea, as 1t possesses the flavor and strength
and the soothing, invgorating properties of both
Black and Green, without any injurious quality !;
being chemically pure and free from coloring
matter or any foreign mixture, it will suit the
taste and please all who love tea.
This tea is put up neatly in pound parcels, SO
pounds in chest, with the price, 81 10, printed
on each package. The wholesale price by the
chest is 81 pound, and orders from traders,
hotel keepers, peddlers, clubs, or families, for
chests OBS pounds or more, will be filled at the
wholesale price. Parties living in towns where
we have agents can always get this tea from
them.
| Like all other goods sold by the Oriental Tea
Company, this tea is warranted to give entire sat
lsiaction; and parties ordering, can do so with
the full assurance that if the whole or any part
fails to suit, it may be returned at our expense,
and we will refund the money.
| SPECIAL NOTICE.-As a matter of con-
venience to the public we are arranging with
Apothecaries and other Merchants, all over the
country, to act as agents for selling our Teas
/ and CAffeeS in their locality at our warehouse
prices. Our profits are small, but we give over
four-ffths of them to agents as commission. We
want an agent in every town in the Union, and
will send full particulars, TERMS price lists, sc,

And held its sparkling chalice up, at evenings
dewy time.
Its bright blue eye seemed ever fixed upon the
blue above,
And the bright angels bent them down to watch

bright,
1t sang its sweetest song for me at mornings hour
of light;
1t slumbered at the fall of day, in soft and dainty
nest,
And with flushing cheek watched its calm
untroubled rest.
Its song grew sweeter, day by day a clearer,
purer tone

1 know that oft its silver notes went ringing to
the sky,
And the angels bent to listen from out their home
on high.

Its opal tints made beautiful this vale of clouds
and night.
So radient was the glory that to my gem was
given,
Unto my ardent soul it seemed passing gleam
of heaven.
1 thought it like the star above, but farer far to
me;
I thought it like the stars that shine above the
crystal sea.

and rare,
So like the shining coronets that on their brows
they wear.

that sang so well,
My many tinted gem oflight with love that none
can tell
My Father saw my restless heart-its wild idol
airy,
And, in his love Divine, he broke the chains that
fastened me.
He bade the angel take it hence, my fair and
fragrant flower;
They called the little bird that charmed each
fieeting hour,
And they took my precious jewel to shine with
lustre free,
In Jesus shining diadem to all eternity.

A REMEDY FOR THE BLUEs.-When
Whitelock was about to embark as
Cromwell's envoy to Sweden, in 1855,
he was much disturbed in mind, as he
rested liz Harwich on the proceeding
night, which was very stormy, while he
reflected on the distracted state ofthe
nation. A confidential servent slept
in an adjacent bed, who, finding that
his master could not sleep said -
"Pray, sir, will you give me leave
to ask you a question 2;
"Certainly."
"Pray, sir, don't you think God gov
erned the world very we'll before you
came into it ?"
"Undoubtedly."
"And pray, sir, don't you think that
He will govern it quite as well when
you are gone out of it?'
Certainly"
"Then, sir, pray excuse me; but
don't you think you may as we'll trust
Him to govern it as long as you are
in it p
To this question, Whitelock had
nothing to reply, and turning about
soon fell asleep.

BURYING A STUBBORN MONK.-The
grand rule Of the order which St.
Francis founded was implicit submis-
sion to the Superior. One day a
monk proved refractory. He must be
subdued. By order Of St. Francis, a
grave was dug deep enough to hold a
man; the monk was put into it; the
brothers began to shovel in the earth !;
while their superior, standing by,
looked on, stern as death. When the
mould had reached the wretch's knees,
St. Francis bent down and, fixing his
eye on him, said, "Are you dead yet ?
is your self will dead ? do you yield ?"
There was no answer; down in that
grave there seemed to stand a man
with a will as iron as his own. The
signal was given, and the buria! went
on. When at length ne was buried
up to the middle, to the neck, to the
lips, st. Francis bent down once
more to repeat the question, "Are you
dead yet?" The monk lifted his eye
to his superior to see in the cold gray
eyes that were fixed on him no spark
OF human feeling. Dead to pity and
all the weaknesses of humanity, St.
Francis stood ready to give the sig
nal that should finish the burial. 1t

was vanquished; the funeral was stop

TRIALS OF NERvE.-There are ma
ny cases on record of men of profess
ional experience losing their nerve
when most needed. One case was
that of an architect, thoroughly used
to walk about all parts of houses in
course of construction, who once,
when walking along a plank which
joined two walls at a great height
from the ground, felt sudden sense
OF danger, upon which his senses left
him, and only returned after some
seconds, when he awoke, so to speak,
in the arms of one of the masons, who
had most fortunately seen his state
in time to carry him across the plank
at the risk of his own life. A more
curious case requires little previous
explanation: Some years ago the
paintings on the inside of the dome
of St. Paul's. London, wanted repair.
1t was contrived, in order to save
trouble and expense, that a suspend
ed scaffold should be made, support
ed by ledge half yard wide, and
hanging by ropes running through
holes in the dome. An experienced
ships carpenter undertook the job,
and began it by stepping out of a
small door at the foot of the dome in
to ledge in question, from which
there was a clear fall of two hundred
feet to the pavement. He walked a
few steps and then found that the in
ward curve Of the dome made him un
able to stand upright, and caused him
to lean over dangerously with an al
tered and unsteady centre of gravity.
Seized all at once with an overpow-
ering sense of fear, he managed nev-
ertheless to turn his face to the dome
and to rest, being once more able to
stand upright, till he had little re-
covered his senses. Then, to his hor-
ror, he found that he had forgotten
on which side of him the door was, or
how far off it was, and in trying to
get to it by short, side-long steps,
took the wrong direction, and literal
ly walked in search of it round the
whole base of the dome, falling into
the door at last utterly Frustrated,
and feeling as he said, 'ten years old
er." However, he made the scaffold
afterward, and used to tell the story
of his fright while walking about on
the ledge, in the most unconcerned

A FOOLS ANswER.-In years gone
by there was a Baptist clergyman,
called Elder Stone, who preached at
Bellcodia, Monroe county, N. Y. One
day the Rev. old Elder sawed off
block of wood to make a beetle and
commenced to bore a hole through it
to put in handle; but owing to the
shortness of the block, it would not
lay still but would turn with the au-
CUR. A half-witted fellow, commonly
called Albright's fool-Bill Albright
by name-came along and said in a
lisping manner: Glider Stone, | can
tell you how to bore your beetle; put
it in hog-trough and then you can
bore it." The old parson turned
round and looked at Bill and said -
"Bill, there is something to be learned
from almost any fool"
ayes" replied Bill, II thought so,
Elder Stone, or there would not so
many people 60 to hear you preach"
