It rules the earth below; If truo, it puia within our arms, The good that all should know. The lore of pleasure mores the world? Sutno seek the foul nud blaok; Whilst some the honest flag unfurl, And-keep the lawful track. Pii asure's the mark for which nil aim? The soldier draws his sword; And misers hoard their wealth nud gain, Whilst grief her tears sflf-rd. For her we dangers oft del)? Guilt, shame nud toil wo meet; A nd strive her power to satisfy, And even deulh we greet. Pleasure is nought but virtue'* name? I ruto her claim too low? An inward bright and joyful flume, That christians feel and know. Now, pleasure should with all prevail? Why, it is balm and joy ? Thus gratitude should never fail, Hut ull our hearts employ. Why pleasure is mail's eldest born ? From cradle to the grave? Wisdom, tho' younger she did dawn, Yet strives poor man to save. Wisdom should then by utl be sought, Unlike all else we seek; Never in vain let this be taught, It is for all the meek. Now pleasures rise and strength we see, Brought forth by wisdom too, She rears her head in liberty, While virtue sets hero free. l'leasure's high aim and holy ends, Are not to make man brute, Hut save him; thore'.ore mercy sends Virtue his wautsto suit. By vice and folly none are blest? Bliss livis not in an hour; The sinner will not it caress, Or feel its so?.thing power. Then give me joy which makes man man? ( And what will make him more? ( In blias beyond this short-lived space? i A saint on Caanan's shore. i A joy that's freed froin chance?time?death? ^ A present?future jwaco? Crowned higher with my lutcst breath, In spotless innocence. Through bless'd eternity's long day, To play 011 harps of gold, With angels there forever stay, Where plcasuRs ne'er grow old.

Cloud?Dear Sir: As lite time l planting is at hand, my thoughts natura run in that direction, and 1 liaveconcludi therefore, to give you a short article on l subject. Planters all agree, so far ns I know, to deep plowing and thorough preparali preparatory to planting corn, hut dif very widely as to the modo of cultu This difference of opinion grows out of I fact, that we all pursue the old beaten trai cultivating our corn every year ju-t alii scarcely ever testing the different modes experimenting, and generally, with sea so make full crops, and we are satisfied wi lite result?believe that our plan is equ if not superior, to that of our neighbn Tliis is all wrong. No man should be s isliod with anything less tiran all the cc that his laud and soasoua are capable making. 1 venture to say that there is i moie than one acre out of every hundred the South, that yields as much of any thi that is planted oti it, as it is capable of < ing. The planter who has in more cc and cotton to the hand that he can ma yield every grain of corn and every lock collou that the land can produce, is ov cropped, I don't care if ho has not iih than twelve acies to (lie hand. These t stern facts, that everybody must admit. Hut it is impossible to arrive at t best mode of coin culture without ex] ridiculing. We must try different pin the same year, and nolo particularly t seasons and the result. And one year wo settle the question satisfactorily. If y should plant one hundred acres in corn tl year, and make an average of forty bush per acre, that won't prove that l?y differ management you might not have made ty bushels per acre. Hut if you prepare ono hundred aci thoroughly, and plant fifty of it in tho v ter furrow after bedding and throwing t< furrows back, and cultivate shallow, a rnako sixty bushels per acre, and the oil fifty you plant in tho same way and cul vate deeply, and make forty bushels | ncie, of course you have demonstrated l fact that shallow cultuio, after prepari well, is preferable to deep culture. Tl experiment would pay. You would not satisfied with tho forty bushels per acre, I cause you see that your land can produ sixty. Hut if you bad planted the win one hundred acres alike, nnd cultivated the same way, and make forty bushels, y< would have thought that you bad ntr.de good crop, and perhaps would conclude practice that system forever, with the f:i .id fiom your eyes, that you were eve year losing twenty bushels of corn per aci My opinion, after ten years'experience :orn culture, during which time 1 have c perimented no little, is that corn land shou >e plowed deeply and thoroughly, and co .lanled shallow, about even with the t/o o ?ral sub-soil of the field. And afler it *cll ttp, plow it as deep and close wi itnall plows as can be done with one hor ilows, and after this cultivate lightly, "la ng l?y" as early as possible?say by tl Irst o( June. I am aware that some of youreorrcspo lents will object to plowing corn deep >11; and I am also aware that the objeclu tannol bo sustained. O. 1). Harmon. Ulica, Miss., Maich 6, 1857. Kick Mii.k.?

The saino when a cutting hat four or fivo buds: place all but oue undei ground. When cuttings are shallow plant J' ed, leaving more buds out than in tin ground, tiro buds start, the leaves form dh evaporation is rapid, and the delicate now fibrous roots soott die, as our hot suns ami 'rH* dry seasons so dry the earth, to a depth o "l four inches, as to dry up all supplies. At ,rn a consequence, the cutting fails. Whei ?' the cutting is inserted eight or ten feel deep into the earth, and hut one bud 10 left above, the conditions in this cast favor tho formation of roots, and generally cutting* so placed succeed.
