THE PALACE OF LEARNING
ny NATHAN HASKELL DOLE.

ny NATHAN HAshELL DOish.
ON Asia's plains 1t was begun
BY Magians, children of the sun,
When DER the skies serenely arched
The hosts of stars at midnight marched;
They built the towers; they toiled by night
Men gifted with an inner sight;
They knew the powers of numbers then;
And traced the horoscopes of men.
Beside the food of turbid Nile
The priests of Isis spread the pile,
And in the dusky inner rooms
Worked heiroglyphics for their tombs.
In curious lines. in solemn scrolls,
They told the mystery of souls,
Their names are lost, but what they wrought
Is kept in treasures of thought
In Palestine thousand years
Saw swift succession of holy seers,
From him who, filled with speechless awe.
Wrote down the thunders of the law
ON tables of enduring stone.
To him who sat on Salem's throne
And sang the wonders of Gods grace
With rapture on his beauteous face;
From those who coming woes foretold
To him who saw the heavens unrolled:
They, too, helped build the palace vast
Whose every stone was set to last

FARMERS
FERTILIZER BULLETIN.

The Farmers Fertilizer Company of Car
roll county is not a misnamed corporation.
1t is an organization for the benefit of the
Farmer and no one else; whatever profit may
occur in an economical administration of its
business, after payment of expenses. goes to
the purchaser of its goods. That is one of
the reasons why, after several years of trial,
it is able to say in 1891 that, Notwithstanding
the advance in prices of certain material,
unlike other firms, there will be
No Advance in Prices of Its
Goods.
A careful observation of the market will en-
able one to purchase in advance of rise, and
that is ANOTHER REASON why the Farm
.ers' Fertilizer Company is able to
UNDERsELL THE INCAUTIOUS.
Grade for grade on certain leading brands OF
any house or firm in Carroll county, its goods
are from 81 to So per ton cheaper; and this is
confirmed by the analysis made by the State
chemist of Maryland as per report OF Febru-
ary, 1891. That kind of testimony is unan'
swerable.
DON'T BE MISLED.
The announcement that extraordinary results
have been obtained from isolated helds from
certain literally advertised brands offertilizer
is intended for the unwary. The best test OF
the virtues of any fertilizer is the result per
acre from an entire farm. These same terti-
lizers, doomed into prominence, have been
known this year On full farm test to pro-
duce but from 49, to 81 bushels per acre; moi
so in any instance, yet learned, has this been
the case with our goods. From % to A
bushels per acre have been the result when
the Farmers Fertilizer Material has been
used We employ no agent, we sell nothing
but absolutely
PURE MATERIAL.
We buy our goods before an advance in
prices, we exercise the strictest economy IL

now as heretofore, that if you want to be per
| fectly satisfied, give our goods trial. Ii
addition, if this company can be of service tt
any of its patrons in furnishing them will

without charge. An allowance of Sl.00 pei

HANOVER. N. H., July 2o.-As Miss
Christie Warden, accompanied by her
another and her sister Fannie and
Louise Goodell, were returning on
foot to their home, located mile
from the village at a late hour
Friday night, Frank Almy, about
80 years of age, jumped into the
road in front of them and, Selling Chris
tie by the arm, said: II want you. "
The mother and sister attempted to de-
fend her Almy fred at them,
but missed. They ran for as
sistance. Then Amy dragged his
victim to the bushes from the
road and shot her twice through
the head, one shot tearing out her left
eye. When help arrived the girl was
dead and her body was stripped of
nearly every article of clothing Almy
had fed. Miss Warden was beau
