TIME AS MANURE.

One of the Editors of the n. c. Planter, who Is
tborouob practical and scientific Farmer says:
Lime is undoubtedly the best and most lasting
manure that can be applied on the clay lands OF
our State We have abundance of limestone, and
nature has been more bountiful to us than to most
other States; vet we have not taken advantage OF
her precious gifts prefer to buy lime
from the north at two dollars per barrel, when we
can make as good lime and supply oursel YES at hi
teen cents per bushel, which would be about thir-
tv-6ye cents per barrel At Goldsboro' there is
nlentv Of limestone, and at Beaufort We have ma
terials for making lime, and yet prefer to pur,
chase at the north at most cXtravagant price
Lime can be made cheaper here than at the
North.
Agriculture demands that some energetic man
should start lime kiln. TO him who does this
and keeps good supply at moderate price, a
| fortune is sure: And not only this, but the
thanks of the Agriculturists of the State Will be
his as the greatest bencfactor the farmer has ever
! had. There is no need of clearing more land; II
will be cheaper to lime to enrich the lands al
| ready omen. and they are much more easy OF cultl

terms, and we produce as good crops as an.

BY EDWARD WILLIAM DAVIS.
A Virgin gentle, sweet and far,
Whose balmy breath perfumes the air,
Has come with smiles for all around,
And scattered treasures DER the ground
wordrous virgin she, / wccn,
OF lovely form and queenly mien.
This wondrous Virgins smile alone
Hath stilled old Winters surely moan;
And late, where icy banks were seen,
Glttering in their chrystal sheen,
Are limpid brooks and streamlets gay,
Ripping along their sunny way.
Her genial air hath brought to life
The beauties lost by Winter strlicj
The fcxiIe vine now wildly strays,
And wreaths about the blooming sprays.
And rose and flower wave between
Theirleaf sprigs Of virgin-green
Even music hugh'd, again must swell
At bidding oS her potent spell;
For late. where sparrows flying low,
Twitterd DER the thawing snow,
Our mocking-birds, in symphony,
Pour forth their liquid melody.
Welcome, then, with many lay,
Her crowning month-the month OF May
And link'd in choral strains, now sing.
The triumphs Of the Firgin-SPrlng-
Her Summer bridegroom hastcs i'll suit,
To warm her treasures into fruit q
