The Other World.
BY II. B. STOWE.


It lies around US like q cloud
A world we do not see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eva
bIay bring us there to be
It's gentle breezes fan our cheek,
Amid our worldly cares;
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us beat,
Sweet helping hand are stirred;
And palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
And in the hush of rest they bring,
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet q pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the eye and close the ear
Wrapped in q trance of bliss,
And gently laid In loving arms,
To swoen to that-from this.
Scarce knowing If we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around US watch rs still,
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helping glide.
Let death between us be as naught-
A dried and vanished stream,
Your Joy be the realty,
Our suffering life the dream.

PRICE A5 DOLLARS CASH, WITH
USUAL ADVANCE FOR TIME.
E1XPERIENCE in the use of this
IA Guano for the past six years in
tins State, for Cotton aud Corn, has so
far established it's character for excel
lence as to render comment unnecessa-
ry. ,
In accordance with the established
policy of the Company to furnish the
best Concentrated Fertilizer at the low
est cost to consumers, this Guano is put
into market this season at the above
reduced price, which the Company Is
enabled to do by reason of its large ia
cilities and the reduced cost Of manu-
facture.
The supplies put into market this sea-
son are. as heretofore, prepared under
the personal superintendence Of DR.. st..
Julian Ravenel, Chemist of the COmpa-
ny, at Charleston, S. G., hence, planters
may rect assured thatiis QUALITY and
COMPOSITION is precisely the same
as that heretofore sold. At the present
low price every acre planted esn he fer
tilted with two hundred pound Guano
ut cost not exceeding the present value
of 80 pounds of cotton, while experience
has shown that under favorable cOndi-
tions of season and cultivation the crop
is increased by the application from
two to threefold the natural capacity of
the soil. Hence, under no conditions
could it's application fail to compensate
for the outlay. Apply to
