This article in compused of Pure GROUND Bone
dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, Animal Matter and
Potash.
It contains no heavy mineral substances such
as enter into the composition Of most OF the artl-
Giles sold under the name Of Super Phosphates'
and consequently the bags in which it il paek1ed
though as large as any other, contain Only ~ 10.
pounds, thus saving to the farmer at least ~ per
cent of weight in the same bulk.
1t has less inorganic matter than those articles
which nre based on Rock Guano or other heavy
material. The farmer therefore derives oenent
from almost every atom of its bulk, either a
crop grower or permanent improYer Of the soil.

A LITTLE WOMAN
In a little precious diamond

In little precious diamond
What splendor meets the eyes
In little lump of sugar
How much of sweetness lies
So, in little woman,
Love grows and multiplies
You recollect the proverb says
GA word unto the WISE"
pepper,cor is very small,
But seasons every dinner
More than all other condiments,
Although tbs sprinkled thinner,
Just so little woman is,
If love will let you win her,
Theirs not JOY in all the world
You will not find within her.
And, as within the little rose
You'll find the richest dyes
And in little grain of gold
Much price and value lies:
AS from lit.le balsam
Much odor does arise,
So in little woman,
There's taste Of Paradise.
The sky larke and the nightingale,
Though small and light of wing,
Yet MARBLE sweeter in the grove
Than all the birds that sing;
And so little woman,
Though very little thing,
Is sweeter than all other sweets,
Even flowers that bloom in spring !!
