In Maine the granite quarries are more 'au-
able than in any other part OF America. The
whole expense of it delivered IN New York. Is
SO 62 per ton, and il is worth here 81 90, lear-
ing gain of So 3s per ton.
The amount of Lime annually manufactured
in Maine is about 100000 This is more III
value than the produce Of all the Gold mines
in our country.
At one Lime Factory on The Hudson kiln

anoun, daily manufactured there is ahou, 100
bushels. to make which amount, requires about
one ton of Anthracite coal.
The Duchess County Lime Kiln producrs

Zinc has not until lately attracted much at

however, company in Boston has become
largely interested in the Zinc mines Of New
Jersey, located IN Sussex county, and there is
a prosprc. a, present Of their being efectually

The Games of Life.

The littte Miss at three years old,
Plays with her doll and prai,les:
The lnde Master. srou, and bold
Plays with his drums and rattles.
The Bey, deiesiing musty books,
Loves romping with the lasses
And Mss grows older, studies looks,
And plays with looking glasses.
The jolly Topper, fond of fun.
Plays with his friends at drinking:
The Sportsman plays with dog and gun.
Ahd Wise Men play a, thinking.
The Beauty, full of haughty airs.
When young. plays al rorIneniing;
But wrinkled, turns TO other cares,
Gay sports a, last repening.
Hretched from self-crea,ed wo,
The MiSer's game is boarding;
And when he meets his counlry's foe,
The Sailor plays al boarding
The La~yer plays his game so we'll
As gets him many greeting;
The AuctiOneer with things 10 sell,
The GluttOn plays at eating.
To play at dosing. Doctors know
lengthy case is cheering;
And those who would TO Congress 90,
Play al eleciioneering.
With ledger busted, Merchants take
A game at calculation
And Congressman too often make
A plaything Of the nation.
By speaking much and doing nought,
By bcs,ling, threal'ning, raving.
Congress the nation have not taught,
That they have played at saving.
With looks profound, and thoughtful mind,
Projectors play at scheming;
I'LL worn with care, at las. they find
They've all along been dreaming.
The Lover sad, and woful wan,
Plays day and nigh, at frelling;
While, laughing at the silly man,
Has Della sports coquetting.
CO'Oards, with none but towards nigh,
Are fond of gasconading;
Aud Statesmen fawn, and criuge and Ee,.
And play at masquerading.
At setting types the Printers play.
And sometimes with their quIls
heir Patrons do no. play they say,
Al paying of their bills.
'hneiFlayer plays for wealth aud fame;
Andahus all play together.
III death al last disturbs the game,
Ahd-stops their play forever

President Joncs, of Tc&as, has issued lis pro-
camalon, under date Of April 18th, converting
the congress Of the republic at Washington, or
the 10Th Of June next, to take such action as may
he deemed proper, in reference to the proposition
on the part Of the q. S. for annexation. The
Galveston Civilian thus remarks Oh the subject:
We regret to learn, as we DO from the Nation
al Register that the L. $. minister has submitted
10 this government the bare proposition for an
ncxalioa contained in Mr. Browns resolutions,
Mr.. Polk we'll az Mr.. Tyler concciviug it i'm

The Crops.-We have been at some
pains and expense TO ascertain the pros
poets of the wheat crop in different Sec
hons of the State, and with very few ex-
ceptlons, the promise of an abundant Aar-
vest has never been better. The crops,
as general thing, were put in early, in
which case they viii be apt to be out of
the way Of the rust, which blasted the
hopes Of the wheat grower last season.

No sales of Wheat to any extent. There

The Chicago Adcoccie and Joliet Sig
nal, two papers that warmly urge the ap-
pointment Of Gen. Fry to the canal rus-
lccship, are prodiglously offended at the
remarks Of our New York correspondent
in the letter we published last week, and
characterize them rs "villainous inuen-
does" "yile abuse" &c. We have no
doubt our correspondent is ready at any
time to assume the responsibility of
all he has said, but the joke Of it is, he
made no direct chargc against any person,
and the Advocate AM! Signal, in consrU-
ing all his remarks to apply to Gen.
Fry-in making the shoe Jlt hlm-are
paving him what we should consl,er any
thing but compliment.
A word more to the Advocate. Mr..
