\ RENUNCIATION.

Blow. blow. thou winter wind.
Thou art not so unktnd
As mans ingrAtitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.

Most friendship is feigning. most loving mer.
folly:
Then. heigh hoi the hollyl
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky.
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting IS not so sharp,
As friend remembered not.
Heigh hol sing hei2h hoi unto the green

Most friendship is feigning most loving mers

it disappeared, with one last hopeless
scream from its whistle, like the des-
pairing wall of a lost soul, it flashed over
me what this awful catastrophe that I
had been witnessing was. 1t was the
end Of the world!

SEVERAL Of the the towns of North
Carolina are on a decided boom.
Oxford set the example of forming a
land company, and now Asheville,
Winston, Greensboro, Durham, Ma

in the work of progress. 1t seems
a highly successful plan for selling of
lots and increasing business and popu-
lation. Now is the food time. After
awhile it will be overdone and there
will come the reaction. We hail with
satisfaction this onward movement and
the towns that "get in the swim" will
go forward and find a safe landing.
