The Dyeing Confederate.
BY A VIRGINIA LADY.
I am dyeing ! Ilessie, dyeing !
With the bark of pltim and walnut,
Boils the kettle hot and last,
Gathered in the days long past.
Reach a hand ; oh,. Ilessie help me ;
Cease thy giggle and look here ;
Notice this great pile of garments
Thou and I alone would wear.
Though my torn and faded dresses
Lose their blackness more and more,
And my well worn shawls and stockings
Tell how war has made me poor ;
Though no glittering silks are with them,
Craved by every woman's will
I must mend, and change and alter
Dye my Sunday garments still.
Let not fashion's heartless daughters
Mock this crape this " garb of woe,"
'Twas no woman's hand that tore it
'Twas a Yankee's soiled it so.
llate, then Ilessie, bring your dresses ;
Eist, like mine, they were, and gay;
Throw them into this big kettle,
They're too good to throw away.
Should the rick folks, who have plenty,
Sneer at bark dyts in the towns ;
"H'e will say if they don't like them,
Let them send us better gowns.
I must dye my web of liusey,
To be woven for the spring ;
Judy waiteth for her filling
And this color is;" the thing."
So, be quick, my laughing Ilessie !
Gather up our mournful pile ;
Don't expect to light that dry wood
iiii me spienaor ot thy smile.
Hand me here those capes and dresses,
Take thy veil and traps with mine ;
So, we'll be in style next Sunday
Triumph in that cloak of mine !
This is dyeing, Ilessie I dyeing !
Starts a tear drop in thine eye ?
Wipe it off, my bonnie Ilessie !
Tatters are not worth a sigh.
See ! that stick will break ! that kettle !
Ilessie, dear ! this is the knell!
Cherished hopes! the dye is thrown !
" Reconstruction!" fare the wellj!
The above, mentioned kettle, or dye pot,
-was probably the original Iron Pot brought
ftv-m Ireland by the grand parents of John
C. Calhoun, and now in the possession of
the lady by whom the above parody was
written."
SPUNGI AN A.
Two hundred women have graduated
from medical colleges in N. Y. City,
Philadelphia, and Boston.
When a man kisses the wrong wo
man what sort of a weapon should he
be dispatched with? A blunderbuss,
of course. Tracey.
Sir. J. Mclane, of Virginia, owns
the land onwhich the first battle of
Bull Run was fought, and also the
ground in Appomattox county, where
Gen. Lee surrendered.
There is something exquisite in an
American s reply to the European
traveler, when he asked him if he had
just crossed the A)p3 : "Wal, now
you call my attention to the fact, 1
guess I did pass risin' ground."
'It is very sickly here," said one
of the son3 of the Emerald Isle the
other day, to another. "Yes," said
Lis companion, "a great many have
died this year who never died before."
i
A young lady being requested by
a bachelor to take a seat upon his
knee, in a crowded 6leigh, made the
following reply : "No, thank you, I'm
afraid such an old seat would break
down with me."
"I bequeath," said an Irishman,
in his will, "to my beloved wife all
my property without reserve, and to
my eldest son, Patrick, one half the
remainder, and to Dennes, my young
gest, the rest. If anything is left, it
may go to Terrence McCarty."
The Maine papers are greatly ex
ercised over the fact that marble-playing
has been introduced amongst the
b)ys of that State. They demand
that rigid prohibitory laws be passed
against this demoralizing mode of
gambling.
A wee bit of a boy having been
slightly chastised by his mother, sat
very quiefly in his shair for a few
minutes afterwards, no doubt thinking
very profoundly. At last he spoke out
thus : "Muzzer, 1 wish dad would get
anuzzer housekeeper I've got tired o'
secin you round."
A lover, who was slighted by the
females, very modestly asked a young
lady, "if she would let him spend the
evening with her?" "No," she angrily
iepJied, "that's what I won't."
"Why," replied be, "you needn't
be eo fussy j I didn't mean this even
, ing, but somfi stormy one when I can't
go anywhere else."
Whether ladies ought to have 6eats
I believe they ought.
I always side with the ladies.
When I am in a crowded car
and
a lady comes in, I think it
the
duty of some other man to get up and
give her his seat.
I look around the car to see if any roan
in the crowd looks like making a move
in that direction, and when I see they all
keep their seats, I bury myself in my
newspaper and blush for my sex.

with remarkable success upon
Cotton, Corn. Tobacco and all Crops.

HAVING PROCURED THE EXTEN
SIVE AGENCY for the sale of the
NONPAREIL
FRENCH GUANO!
in the City of Petersburg Va.
We now offer it for sale, as low as it can
be obtained in this or any other market.
It is unsurpassed as a Fertilizer, being
equally, if not more stimulating to the first
Crop, than the best Peruvian Guano, and
contains properties which make it perma
nent, and also destructive to insects in the
soil. The latter quality is peculiar to it
alone. It is adapted to all soils and all
kinds of crops, never varies in strength,
has been fully tested by the side of No. 1
Peruvian Guano, and the palm awarded it
We cjaim that three-fourths of a Ton oi
this Guano, on a like soil, applied accord
ing to directions will give the same yield
as one Ton best Peruvian, and as it costs
one-third lees, is the CHEAPEST and
BEST FERTILIZER offered the PUBLIC.
Feeling, satisfied we can convince any
one of the many advantages of this Fertili
zer over all, others, and that there is no
Humbuggery about it, we hope to receive
a fair share of Public Patronage, and will
extend every indulgence possible.

testify as to the following practical ad- '
vantages in the use of Mapes' SuperPhbt-
phalem ' ! .
Saved the cotton crop in many cases
from buin by bust. . c .
1 .10 to JOO lbs. of Mapes' Kitro-
genized Super-Fhophate applied even af
ter the Cotton was up, nearly doulle tkt
crop.
Cotton grown with Mapes' Super-Phos
phate brought higher price per pound.
Stood drought better than Pernvia,
American or any of the various guanos
used in the vicinty. The cotton held its bold
better.
C used no firing of the cotten rrng
drongrht. .'
Cotton continued its fruiting latter. The
last bolls as large and abundant as any
previous stage of the crop. . v
Produced a larger yield and heavier
weight of Cotton and Wheat than Peruvian
Guano.
The yield of Corn grown with Mapes
Super-Phosphate was nearly double that
grown with other Super Phosphates.
Worms hardly touched the corn grown
with Mapes' Super-Phosphate while one
third of the corn grown with other Super
phosphates was eaten up.
For compostjLwith muck Mapes' Super-
Phosphate cannot be excelled.
lias produced a quicker and larger
growth than home-made composts. 250
lbs. per acre increased the saccharine mat
ter in " sugar beets" to 14 1-2 per cent.,
being 2 1-2 per cent, higher than the
highest results before reported and some
six per cent, above the average.
Permanantly Improves tbe Soil.
One application produced abundant
yield for Four YcarSj and still continues
to show the eflecta.
Dispense with the necessity of rotation
of crops.
