This is for the Farmers.

The attention of Farmers is called to the Importance
of buying lime burned from stone. The following
analyses of Wrghtsvile and Lime are given
to impress upon Farmers the value of this suggestion
The stones for these anal yses selected from the
several strata by Dr. T. R. Wolf and the results as
reported by him.
Lime burners invarbly give analysis of their LIME
STONE and farmers generally accept this the analysis
Of the LINE Whereas process of burning the CarbOnic
Acid contained in the stone is vOatiized and the bulk
diminished thereby very materially changing the proper
tons as the silica and other impurities remain unchang
ed and therefore show INCREASED PERCENTAGE in the
Lime. Hence, stone from Wrghsve quaTTies shows an

The position of HGrper's Young People as the
leading weekly periodical for young readers is
well established. The publishers spare no pains
to provide the best and most attractive reading
and illustrations. The serial and short stories
wholly free from whatever is pernicious or vul-
carly sensational: the papers on natural history
and science, travel, and the facts of life are by
letic sports, games and pastimes give full infor-
nation on these subjects. There is nothing cheap
about II but its price.

With the issue of January, 1856, important
changes will be made in the literary character

the former standards of excellence, will it is eX
pected, materially increase its popularity and
widen its sphere of usefulness. The distinctive

political, and social, and enlisting in their dis
cusSiOn the ablest pens in England and America.
fair hearing will be accorded to all sides Of
controversy though the magazine will strictly
preserve its own neutrality
It will be especially strong in fiction. A new
novel, entitled Hope" d" by w. E. Norris, author
of" MatrimOny," No New Thing" etc. who is
perhaps the cleveIest of the rising authors of
England, will run through the year, accompan-
led by brilliant serial dealing with the literary
and dramatic life of New York City, from the
pen of a writer who prefers to keep his name a
secret, but whose every touch reveals an intimate
acquaintance with the scenes which he describes
1t Will be rich in short stories, poems, and
sketches
By special arrangement it will be the authori-
zed medium through which the latest utterances
of the most eminent transatlantic writers Will
reach the American public simultaneously with
their appearing abroad.
Il will number among its American contribu-
tors such writers as Gail Hamilton, Julian Haw-
thorne, Harriet Prescott SpoffOrd, John Bach Nc
Master, -. s. of Dale" j. Brander Matthews, etc
issued in America. Recognizing the needs CT the
time for good literature at moderate prices, the
publishers have decided 20 lower the subscrip-

sum that will place LippineOtfs hdgdEine with
