It is surrounded by a dense hamock, drooping with long jgray moss? creating in the mind of the observer the sensation of mourning rather than delight. Its banks are adorned by the intermingling of jesamine and long grass spreading its massive for many yards around > in which may*be seen, rapidly moving along the dangling forms of huge' aligators. This fountain of chrystal water is one hundred yards in diupeter, ninety feet deep where the boil issues from the earth, and^ita flow six^y yard* in width. What a store of the beautiful, the magni fieent, the sublime, are composed in so small a bound. Well might the astronomer imagine himself taking a flight in an serial car, viewing the fixed stare of the solar system, when hemSholdt the dazling spots in tho ^ottom?well might he conjecture himself recliningnon the pinions of numerous rainbows, grasping"at a multiplicity of scaly owners that infest tho dazling green sward and transparent element above. As for the remainder, I will leave it to tradition. The following ia respectfully submitted to your > readers. rFaintly upon this darksome earth, Sorno lingering hope and light are given; Seine spots where beauty, love and truth, Reveal their form and glow of heaven ! And as wo trend beneath the dust, A thousand marks, to us unknown, OAJiumon hope, and love, and trust, jLi^e ?c< d upon the billows thrown, 4|. Their quiet traces round us lie ; " uTtKe'S&rth, and sea, and sky, Hearing tne stamps upon meir orow, # OfJove,*or hate, or joy, or Woe ; Are imaged to the thoughtful eye. Some tranquil fount beneath the shade, The murmur of whose gentle wave, Hath mingled oft in times long fled, With tales of love long in the grave ! Some mouldering walls with moss o'ergrown, ' mJ$ j And ivy wreaths entwined around, Where brilliant, happy hours have flown? Whose marks and dust arc only found? [ Telling where hearts have lived and died; Long buried in time's pauseless tide; The last tree of some forrest glade, \ Where generations loved and played; The silent mound upon the plain, Showing where breathing men have been; All bring before us mem'ries strong? like shadows long and sweet, though dark? And in these scenes wc see the throng , Whose life, or death, or toils, they mark. How many eyes have fondly gazed Upon those qniet scenes above! Up to whose lights our hearts fcrc raised, . When'er their pulse o'crflows with love! How many souls with kindred glow, Have lingered at the sunset hour, . Enraptured by those hues which now Inspire our hearts and make them pure. How many beings of life who trod The earth untutored, and so perished, Hath felt, adored their unknown God, Through hopes by us still fondly cherished? 'Tin thus our spirits all unite, Throin/h love or hnn? in ?nm? hritrhi Thus in some distant realm of light, All human hearts are aura to come. Thus do the past and present meet; Thus do our souls hold converse sweet; And mingling in one living spirit, With love and truth one home inherit Nations have passed away, and left Ruins to mark where once they stood ; And pomp and power are now bereft Of thrones whose seats were bought with blood. A column lone?a crumbled wall? Temples o'ercjxne with dust and age, Are all that mark the rise and fall? The useless strength and fiery rage?

(To be continual.) . ACRlCtlTt'Ril. Farm Economy. If is true that "the children of this world aro wiser in their generation than' the children of light," it is no less true that " the God of this world has blinded their eyes." When! Mr. Editor?when! let it lie asked with all the emphasis of deep conviction and earnestness of imminent ruin; When will tho cotton planters of the South open their eyes to the fact, that a crop of two million of bales will bring the more money than a crop of two and a half or three, millions? We toil nnd struggle through the whole calendar/rom Christmas to Christmas again, devoting to the cotton crop our best lands nnd our best ont>rcrio? by ?*hausting both: and all to swell the number of cotton bales to an amount that must in the very nature of things, depress the price to a figure below remuneration, and keep it there. Then look ut the disastrous consequences which are inevitable by such a course. Cattle on the lift, or down beyond the hope of resuscitation; skeleton frames reeling to the plow, they have not strength to move; corn-cribs empty, and meat-houses desolate. In sections visited by the severe drought of last ?ar, the little money that wad realized from the little price of crop, has all gone to Cherokee and Tennessee for com. The bacon is yet to be bought, either on a credit or with money borrowed at n high rate of interost; in either case involving the hapless purchaser in debt. An argument of five minutes will convince any man that all these calamities may be avoided, and their opposite blessings secured by planting a smaller crop of grain. Indeed almost every man is already convinced of that fact. Why is it, then, that we ull u confess the wrong and still the wrong pursue?" Each individual is aware that his diminished cotton crop will have no effect upon the market, and in order to get his share ot the money, he must piant his full proportion of the cotton. Now, Mr. Editor, I for one, am resolved to pursue a Cferent course, from the full conviction that Is to my individual interest to make a full provision crop; and thus, if I should not succeed so far as to have gran and pork to sell, I at least will endeavor to void the huiniliatinir necessity of twinf? ?? _ ?# m, K?7 away all, or nearly all the proceeds of the cotton crop for those indispensible necessaries. And until every planter ia convince*! by practical experience, that, let others do as they may, it is for his individual interest to do likewise, then, aod not till then, will the oetton crop be so restricted as to bring that desirable state of thfflgs, viz >? r money, and plenty of provisions. 1 am aware that it is maintained, upon quite formadabie authority, that the extent of the srty has no influence in determining the price; and a learned Professor attempt* toj pww that to be true, by the extent of the several or?v? of the last ten yean, and the relative prices ~*bflnnrl for them. But an argument baaed on these date Is incomplete. If a Urge, or even a succession of large crops brough t a high prise, the Internee h ire sis tible that short oiops, under the speiatiosi ? * a m ?. . m of similar SHcumstances, would have brought ' a higher one. To maintain that short crops cmuo low prices, is to maintain that corn would be now worth one dollar per bushel,' if every corn-crib in the land were bursting with corn.?Cor. Soil of Ike South. Culture of Corn. As the time for planting corn is now at hand, and as all know our country has seldom, if ever, been in a worse fix for provisions, I thinkit behooves every planter to put forth all the energy*and skill he may possess to try once more to fill up the empty corn houses that present thcinselvee at every plantation we have any knowledge of. I have concluded to give to yoar readers my plan of planting and cultivating corn, (provided you think it worth a place in your paper.) My field of operations has been in Middle Georgia, and for the last twenty-one years in Monroe county, in the red, stiff, billy lands. As all of ourhilly land should be planted in drills, I shall say nothing about corn in tho hill or check. I commence by running rows' on oar average quality lands, about six foot wido ; this should be dono with a coulter plowput in as deep ns a strong mule can pull ; following in the same furrow with a common sized shovel. Drop the corn two feet apart; a good guide is tho*Yrack of the plowman ; following with cotton seed that have been heated just enough to prevent them from sprouting; putting in the drill abut three times as many as you would sow for the purpose of planting to get a stand of cotton} following with a coulter, running one furrow on each side ; this will cover the corn just deep enouglf without scraping off. Plow out tho middle as you plant, breaking them very deep with a good square pointed scooter or coulter. So soon as tho corn has some four blades, run the coulters round as close and deep as possible?following with hoes, thinning out to one stalk, and putting fresh dirt to the little corn. The middle now should be plowed with small shovels or large seooteis, according to the condition and kind of land. In about twenty days give another good plowing?leaving the last or middle furrow. The ridge ohould be split by the ? ' "~T "* pace!" said ihe latter ancrrtly. Come quickly, when I wont you. When 1 apeak, ' I look to be obeyed instantly. Here, take this note, to Mr. Smith, and see that you don't go to sleep by the way. Now ran as fast us you can go." The boy took the not*. There was a cloud upon his brow. He moved away, butH at a slow pace. I "You Tom ! is that doing what I ordered! Is that going quicklyr called the father, ! when he saw the boy creep away. "If you are not back in half an hoar, I will pgnish | you." . But the wonb had but little effect. The boy's feeHngs were hurt b/%he unkindnese of the parent. Jle experienced a sense of injustice, a couwlouaneee that wrong* had been done him. By (pature, he waa like Me : father, proud aad stubborn; and these qea| IWen of his mtfd were atoneqdi sod he is duigad in m IpUM of eo^fcqu > . " I never ?w aueh n boy," Mid the father, peeking to ?

I_ - KM vrrffit often prove nfroet poVrM? -id the ItitU the fcUwr krtUI if*Md, * T 4 V f ? best plowere?at the same time drilling my pens in this furrow ; following hy'thc boat plowers. One furrow will bo sufficient to cover the peas. Thlsm <de of planting peas will insure a good crop nine years out of ten. In abou' the same length oftime as before, give your* last plowing. This should be done ligtly, running three furrows on either sjde of the pens; be sure to follow the plows thin timo with the hoes?drawing up fresh dirt to the corn, and cutting outevcry thing except corn and peas. By .this mode of planting and culture, I have seldom failed to mnko corn and pons. As you discover, I am quite an advocate for the use of the coulter on stiff lands. Hoping that tho Boil of the South May bo the means of much improvemeiw'ln agriculture in Georgia, I will troubleyou no further nt present.?Soil of lite South. Colic in Horse*. During the spring and summer, hoises ses and mules are frequently subject to at-' tacks of colic. From the several years' experience. I have found, the following to be an infallible remedy : So soon as the animal shows signs of colic, put thrco ounces of laudanum in a quart of castor oil, mix it well, then drench with it; and nine times out of ten it will relieve the suffering and ^tiUiful animal. But should the attack be so aeverc as not to be relieved with this remedy, take a plug of common chewing toboccox-ut H in several places on each side, grease the hand and arm well, and insert it as an injection, In the mean time let two homla continually rub the animal under the belly,back and forwards, with a board or mil. I have a line brood and work mare that ia very subject to these attacks. In two instances, the latter alternative relievod her when the for- 1 I mer failed, and that too when I had given her up to die. It is at least worth a trial.? 1 Cor. of Soil of the South, FATHERS AND MOTHERS. The Power of Kin duets, "Tonv! here!" said a father to his boy, i Hpcakiof in authority. The lad was at-play. He looked towards his*wher, but did aot leave his companions. m " Do you hear me, sir ? spoke the father more sternly than before. With an unhappy face and reluctant step, the boy left his play and approached his parent. M Why don't you ereen alon? at I r i "Kind word*," coDtinaed the friead, " ar? like the gentle rein and refreshing dews bat harsh, words bend nn^ break, like th< angry tdmpest.

The boy sprang to his feet, and win almost instantly beside his father. "Did you call, father V "I did my son. Will you take this pack age to Mr. I<ong for me ?" There was no hesitation in the boy'i manner. He looked pleased at the though of doing his father a serv ice, and reaches his hand far the package. On rcarhinf it, he bounded nway with a light step. "There ia power in kindness," Raid tin father, as he sat musing after the lad's de parture. And, even while he musing sal over the incident, the boy c ine back, with a cheerful, happy face, and said? "Can I do anything els? for you, father r Yea, there ia power in kindness.
