PASSING. Over Jordan.


Hark! hear the harps eternal oa4
Ringing on the further shore,
As / near those swollen waters.
With their deep and solemn roar.
And my soul, though stained with sorrow,
Fading as the light of day,
Is passing swiftly DER those waters,
To the city far away.
Souls have passed before me, sanity,
To that land of perfect rest,
Aud hear them singing family
In the mansion of the blest.
Just beyond the river fiasheth
Jebu-Salem of my God,
Where the white wave rising, dasheth,
On the shore by angels trod.
Stop I see the boatman nearing;
See the snowy sail is set;
And the oars are floating idly,
And the sail is drifting wet
Call my father call my mother!
Tell them that the boatman's here;
And another, oh ! another,
Unto whom my soul is dear.
Call them quick, for am passing
Through the valley of the grave;
l am passing with the boatman
Ger the deep and sullen wave.

PADDOCK, DEAN & Co.,
GENTs.-I have used Superphosphate upon
my farm in st. Johnsbury, Concord and Lunen-
burgh, for some years past, with the most salts
factory results, and have endeavored to learn
how far its use might be profitable upon various
crops. | am satisfied it pays well on corn, pota-
toes and turnips. 1t gives vigorous growth to
the young plant, natures it two weeks earlier
than barn yard manure alone, increases the yield
by about one-third, and improves tne quality of
the fruit. This year l used equal quantity of
yours and Bradley's, and find the Vermont fully
equal to any phosphate l have ever used.

TESTIMONIALS.

COVENTRY, VT, Oct. IS, 1868.
PADDOCK, DEAN Co.,
GBNTs.-I had about two acres which was IN
poor condition, but l thought it a good place to
see what Phosphate would do. plowed, har-
rowed well, and planted corn, without manurng
at all. Through the center were four rows with
out any fertilizer, which gave slim crop. Each
side of this was your phosphate, (and some other
kinds) Where used your phosphate, there
was much heavier growth, and fully three times
as much corn. Three cared stalks were as plen-
ty as two ears generally are. and it was all large
and sound think your phosphate superior
article, and pays well to use.

SIR Seeing certificate in the "Caledonian,"

ed by Capt. G. w. Newhall with respect to Pad
dock, Dean j. Co.'S phosphate, Tor VT. raw-bone),
we take the liberty to say that that certificate
was not given by said Newhall, nor authorized
to be given by any other person, and that it is
the most of it FALsE. We will now state the re-
suit of the use of the phosphate last year, the
first we ever used. We bought barrel of yours
and exchanged ten pounds with one of our neigh
bors for P. D. & Cos for trial. Having piece
of grass land ploughed the previous year, O867)
with a coat of manure turned under last spring,
we, to try corn on new breke land, planted about
one-third of an acre, the first four with moth
ing in the hill, the next four we used P. D. &
Co.'S phosphate, the remainder we planted with
yours. The result was this Where P. D. s Cos
was used the corn was double to that where no
phosphate was used, and where yours was used
there was ONE FOURTH more than where Pad
dock, Dean g. Co.'S was used. We used one large
spoonful in the hill Also same in our potatoes
until the barrel was used up. And we are salts
fed wo had one hundred bushels more per acre
where Bradley's phosphate was used than where
no phosphate was used.
+ We are so well satisfied with our trial last year
that we shall double the quantity this.
Yours truly,
MERIT NEWHALL & SON.

FANCY FARMERs.-Th following is
passage from Mr.. Fale's address on the sub
ject, which certainly contains a great deal
of truth too frequently overlooked:
81 wish to say few words in regard to a
class of men who have done as much, ifnot
more, to promote the Agricultural interest
of this country, than any other, and yet,
since my earliest Recollection, they have
been sneeringly called Fancy Farmers!
They are generally Mechanics, Manufactu-
rers, or Merchants, who have been success
full in their vOcations, and who have invest
ed the first money they could spare from
their business, in land and in making i'm
provements upon it. They may occasion
ally have a ditch dug and find that the wa
ter runs the wrong way, but this hurts no.

need it for the support of their families
They do not watch the Almanac and dis
charge their workmen when the days be.
come short, but employ the poor when the
weather and the hours for work do not ad
NIT of compensating return, which the
man who has no other means of suppor
than the product of his farm, cannot afforc
to do. These men are to be found in al
most every part of our country, and ma!
be known by the houses Of their workmen
their land and their outbuildings being il
better order than any others in the neigh
borhood. They are the first to buy, wha
is called, improved agricultural machiner
and implements, which do not always prov
so. Not being dependent upon their farm
they can afford to experiment; sometime
they are successful, sometimes not; bu
when they are, every farmer gets benef
from the outlay. 1t is largely tosuch pei
sons that we are indebted for many of tn
improvements in husbandry, and still the
are sneeringly called Fancy Famaersr'

The ploughnar's shout as he's turning out

Or his merry good night" by the fire fiys light

To STOP HENS FROM EATING EGGs.-
Four weeks ago | took two hens from a
neighbor and put them with mine. found
that they eat their eggs, and not only so
but ate the other hens eggs, and learned
them to eat them. l took an egg, broke
into it, took out some of it, and mixed the
rest with cayenne pepper---a teaspoonful
or more-and put it down for them to eat.
Not an egg has been eaten since, to my
knowledge. Those two hens deposit their
eggs and they remain now. Mrs. G. was
our informant. When put down the egg
for them, they went at it with a will, but
soon were satisfied.

Secret of Successful Teachinu

An old divine has said that The who
would set others in fame must himself
be burning" This is the real and true
foundation of all successful teaching. When
we read the few sermons left by the great
evangelist Whitfield, so meager are they in
thought, and there is SO little brilliancy in
language, that we can scarcely comprehend
how they not only moved the masses, but
even the critical Lord Chesterfield. But
his soul being on fire with love to Jesus, a
flame of love to Christ was kindled in his
hearers. So must Sunday-school teachers
be; for it is earnestness, not mere knowl-
edge or mental power, that is needed to
make teaching and success a synonym. In
other words
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1869-05-11

Thou must myself be true
If thou the truth would'st teach;
Thy soul must overflow if thou
Another's soul would'st reach;
1t needs the overflow ofheart
To give the lips full speech.
Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the worlds famine feed;
Speak traly, and each word of thine
Shall be fruitful seed /; h
Live truely, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed!
