Old Gregory.

Old Gregory stood on rising ground,
And, viewing the country spread around,
Said, "Im worth hundred thousand pound !"
His ample wealth had increased of late,
The cash at his bankers was growing great,
And he had Just purchased a vast estate.
"We must look to these cots tomorrow morn;
They obstruct the view from my elegant lawn;
I'll SOW the spot where they stand with corn !"
Then the kind old steward shook his head
"And all those who toll for their bread,
Where will they hide their heads :" he said.
"They may hide their heads where they pleas
for me;
It's none of my business" said Gregory.
"And yonder rickety, clackety mill,
That grinds and groans at the foot of the hill,
I'll stop its noise, and I'll keep it still! !"
"But the mill was built before you was born,
And where will the villagers grind their corn p
"They may grind where they will for me;
All that is their business!" said Gregory.
Jolly old Gregory supped very late,
He drank of the best, of the choicest he ate
His soul was contented, his heart was elate.
Then he took his usual nap in his chair,
And in his slumber was never aware
Of an unexpectant visitant there.
Unaware indeed He is slumbering still
When the dusty old miller re-opens his mill,
And the cottagers never shall dread his will
And fear the villagers laughed with glee,
That Death had "business" with Gregory.

Under the above brand propose to introduce
a Superphosphate of Lime manufactured from
the phosphate deposits recently discovered on
the Ashley river, near Charleston, S. c.
The above wonderful and almost ineXhaustible
deposits are found spread over many thousand
acres, and have been used as a substitute for
bone by phosphate manufacturers IN PhlladeL
pLiG 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 anStoer good purpose. be extensively used
farmers the best article that can be produced from
this substance that have commenced the manu-
facture of a new phosphate under the above
brand.
| will warrant my Philadelphia Phosphate SUI
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, bu
for quick acrion and lasting qualities, Bone PhOS
pilates cannot fail to command the first choice of
Neto England farmers.

FATAL HASTE.-The Israelites who
talked of stoning Moses, and the mar
iners who threatened to drown Co
lumbus, are only two instances Of the
unreasonableness of impatient passion
in the ignorant, towards those wise
leaders who would guide them slowly
but surely to their best good.
Many years ago, when the Egyptian
troops first conquered Nubia, a regi-
ment was destroyed by thirst in eros
sing this desert. The men, being up
on limited allowance of water, suffered
from extreme thirst, and deceived by
the appearance of mirage that exact
ly resembled a beautiful lake, they in
sisted upon being taken to its banks
by the Arab guide. 1t was in vain
that the guide assured them that the
lake was unreal and he refused to
lose the precious time by wandering
from his course. Words led to blows,
and he was killed by the soldiers
whose lives depended upon his guild
ance. The whole regiment turned
from the track and rushed toward
the welcome waters. Thirsty and
faint, over the burning sands they hur
ried--heavier and heavier their foot
steps became-hotter and hotter their
breath, as deeper thus led into the des
ert-farther and farther from the lost
track where the pilot lay in his blood
and still the mocking spirits of the des
ert, the streets of the mirage, led them
on, and the lake glistening in the sun
shine tempted them to battle in its
waters close to their eyes but never
at their lips. At length the delusior
vanished-the fatal lake had turned
to burning sand Raging thirst anC
horrible despair The painless desert
and murdered guide! Lost lost lost
Not a man ever left the desert, but
they were subsequently discovered
parched and withered corpses by the
Arabs sent upon the search.
Foolish people are often deceived tC
their ruin noa0 by appearance less fair

PRENTICE.-The editor of the Mont.

Louisville, says:
yesterday had an interview with
Mr.. Prentice. He is not the man he
was ten years ago. Indeed his genius
is gone and his person mere wreck
His family broken up-his wife dead
one son killed on the confederate side
another settled on a farm down the
river-and the old man verging on
three score and ten, cooks his break
fast and dinner in his little room OF
the third floor of the Courier building

the past. This man once welded ar
imperial power with his wit and his
muse. Now the world has whirleC
past him, and he now lies on the shore

A fellow in Ohio, who wasn't used
to getting married, recently had the
knot tied in Oakland, and proceeded
to the hotel, where he seated himself
with his bride in the parlor. AS it
grew late in the evening, he ventured
to inquire of waiter chow soon their
bed would be brought in." He was
instructed in the proper method Of
procuring sleeping apartment, and
safely slowed away. An hour or two
after, strong smell Of gas sent the
night watchman hunting for the leak
1t was traced to the room of the new
ly married pair. Demanding admis
sion and asking the cause of the es
Gaping gas, the rural swain replied
pointing to the gas burner, that "he
blew it out, and then the darned thing
smelt so bad that he put his stocking
over it." Sure enough there was the
stocking drawn over the burner and
tied down with a shoestring.
