GILH MS
TOBACCO FERTILIZER.
Manufactured by the
Southern .Fe1.tilizing Co..
Richmond, Va.
WIN. GILLIAN, President and Chemist
Guaranteed to be always up to the
Standard.

rTNHE operations of this Company have here
L tofore been confined to Virginia and North
Carolina. The TOBACCO FERTILIZER has
given such universal satisfaction, notwithstand-
ing the variety of soil and location, that we are
moved to offer it also to our Maryland friends
From the testimony received by us from all
portions of the tobacco growing region in the
States of Virginia and North Carolina, it is
found that our people claim its superiority oves
all other Fertilizers offered not excepting Peru
vian Guano, in the following points:
IT STANDS DRY WEATHER BETTER; 1T NATURES
THE TOBACCO EARLIER; IT FELLOWS THE TOBAC-
CO ON THE HILL; 1T MAKES HEAVIER TOBACCO, A
TOUGHER TOBACCO, AND MORE wAxY AND SILKY
TOBACCO. INDEED, THE ORGANIC AND INORGANIC
ELEMENTS APPEAR TO BE so EVENLY BALANCED
THAT THE TOBACCO PRODUCED BY 1T Is LIKE THAT
GROWN ON NEW GROUND.
If IT STOPPED THERE THE PLANTER WOULD BE
WELL PAID BY ITS USE; BUT IT is FOUND, BY AC-
TUAL EXPERIENCE, THAT THE increased yield Of
w heat RAISED ON THE SANE GROUND, WITHOUT
FURTHER FERTILIzING, is alone sufficient to pay
for the Fertilizer USED ON THE TOBACCO, TO SAY
NOTHING OF THE PERMANENT VALUE TO THE
LAND OF THE CROP OF CLOVER FOLLOWING THE
WHEAT. IT Is, THEREFORE, THE VERY BEST ANI
CONSEQUENTLY the chenpest FERTILIZER IN THE
MARKET.

Curing the Erysirelas-

The following we copy from the
Maine Farmer: GA neighbor had died
of erysipelas, and in laying him out,
another man took it, and in a few days
it spread over his left arm till it was
raw from the wrist to the elbow. He
kept it open to the air, and went about
his work on the farm with his arm I'M
covered. In haying time he was in
the barn sailing his hay, and us he
threw it about with his right hand his
left arm was covered with it. 1t felt
quite comfortable, but not knowing
how it might work, he went into the
house and washed it off. The next day
he covered it again in the same way,
but left it remain instead of washing it
off. The upper side of his arm soon
got well but the sore remained under
meath, till he bound salt upon it, when
it got well. He has had symptoms OF
it in his face several times since, and
would just wet his finger in salt and
apply it, and it would prevent further
trouble. He fully believes that cont
mon salt applied in season viii! cure
most if not all cases of this kind.

A DREAM.


hsM Ssv day Of o9nns and
night;
Watched for you, pinned for you all the day
Craving no boon and no blessing but you;
Prayed for you, plead for you, sought you in
Striving forever to find you again;
Counting all anguish as nought if might
Clasp you again as clasp you Tonight
Oh! have sorrowed and suffered so much
Since last answered your lips loving touch
Through the night watches, in daylight's
Anguished by visions and tortured by
dreams,
still it is throbbing in heart and in brain:
Oh! forI dreamed-keep me close to thy side,
Darling, oh, darling--I dreamed you had died!
Dreamed that stood by your pillow and
From your pale lips loves sweet, half utter
And BY the light of the May morning skies
Watched your face whiten, and saw your
Gazing far into the Wonderful Land
Felt your fond fingers grow cold in my hand;
''Da Tan gsaiS you whispered "My d"rlins''
Family, so family and then you were dead.
Oh! the dark hours when knelt by your
Calling upon you to love and to save;
Pleading in vain for o sign or word,
Only to tell me you listened and knew
How all my soul was in anguish for YOU
Bitter, despairing, the tears that shed,
Darling, oh, darling, because you were dead
Oh! black the days of your Absence my own!
Oh! to be left in the wide world alonei
Long with our little ones clasped to my breast
Wandered I, seeking for refuge and rest:
Yet all the world was so careless and cold,
Nalnly sought for a Sheltering fold;
There was no roof and no homo for my head
Darling, oh, darling, because you were dead
Yet in the midst of darkness and pain,
Darling, knew should find you again!
Knew as the roses know, under the snow,
How the next summer would set them aglow
So did always, the dreary days through,
Keep my heart single and sacred to you,
As on the beautiful day we were wed,
Darling, oh, darling, although you had fled
Oh! the great joy of awaking to know
I did but dream all that torturing woe!
Oh! the delight that my searching can trace
Still is your forehead unfurrowed and fair,
None Of the light lost out of your hair;
None Of the light from your dear eyes is lied
Darling, how could dream you were dead
Now you are here, you will always remain
Never, oh, never, to leave me again!
Now has it vanished, the anguish of wears
Nanished-nay, these are not sorrowfnl tears
Happiness only my cheek has impearled,
There is no grieving for me in tho world;
Dark clouds may threaten, but have 10 fear
Darling, oh, darling, because you are here
