Oh ! how I loved my WILLIE dear, 5 And watched as day by day. Hil opening beauties burst to view, Nor thought they could decay. And yet, sometimes the fear would come That he was all too dear, - And caused too much of happiness, To linger with mo here. Bat soon, alas ! ray ioso-bud, . Slowly began to fader Yet >till I thought the canker-worm, Of sickness, could bo stayed. . ... , - ' . ?? But Ood has claimed my WILLIE, , 'r And all my anxious care, A mother's yearning tendcrntss, A mother's fervont prayer, Could bind thom here no longer, E'en my love's enduring chain, Yet it soothes my heart to know, in Heaven, It will be linked again. And now, though I am lonely, ; And for my lost ene sigh, I. would not that he had net lived, B'en though he had to die. For his sw jet memory is a stream To life's parched desert given ; His love, a bright and golden chaia That'binds my seul to Heaven. And, yet, perhaps, twere better thus Than be had li rod to twine A wreath of cypress round his brow Hb heart left lone like mice ! Yes, love ! thou wert too sensitiva To bear earth's cankering woes ; There rest thee, dur lin g 1 rest thee, Ia thy haven of repose ! And when the spring-time comet h I will deck thy little bed With such sweet flowers as last spring-lime For theo their fragranco shed. And as tiiry bloom above thy tdmb, Beneath thou'lt sweetly, sleep, Wbib the dew that wets tho violet Will for its playmate weep. GLBSWOOD COTTAGE, Feb. 5th 1S6?. Thc Chufa or Earth Almond. Oar agricultural and other exchanges con tain favorable notice of the Taine cf this plant for ho?;8. We think it demands attention from our farmers and planters, and according ly reproduce the following artie's upon the subject froto the Field and Fireside of the 2d instant. We ice by advertisement in thc Augusta newspapers that seed can be pro cured of J. V. Jones, Herndon P. ?., Burke county, Ga. A bushel of >ecd ia secure boxes, for ?25, sent by express : THC CHUFA OR EARTH ALMOND. The analysis of this plant and ito practical use for a serios ol years establishes conclu sively its great value as a field crop, and none other known in husbandry can surpass it as an auxiliary to the great grain crop of this country. It is extensively used by the Span iards as food both for men and animals, and will be as profitably employed in this koun try, when its value becomes known und ap preciated. The tubers, when pouoded into j I a paste and mixed with waler, make a re markable emulsion, resembles milk in ap pearance, and, when strained, the fat risen to. the surface and looks like cream. This emul sion, when prepared and sweetened to the taste, is a most nutritive ingredient, and may " be used as a valuable substitute for milk the remaining cake forming a rich, nutritive food for all domestic animals. The cultivation of the Ci a fa. is the same as cotton or corn, and may bs planted at the same time and grown between the rows of the latter crop, Uko tho ground or field pea. The larg?st yield, however, is realized by planting the crop to itself upon three foot beds, as for cotton-*-droppicg ona or two tubers twenty inches apart on the bed, and, covered with the foot, or cotton board ; or thc crop may be planted in checks two feet nine inches square, one or two seeds to the hill, covered irith foot or hoe, and cnltjvated entirely with the sweep, running two furrows eardi wsy at the samp time. One bushel of tubers will plant from five to ten acres. The harvest is easy and expeditious-a thrust with a man ure fork on opposite ?Ides ol tr? .bill and thrown up, presents a quart to a half gallon of tubers the size of a post or white oak acorn, and may be gathered from one to two bush els per day to the hand. When harvested for market, the tubers must be well -washed and dried in the sun, and spread orr a tjoor and not bulked, as heat or fermentation will injure them. The aecd are better for plant ing, taken fresh from the field in spring, after remaining all winter in the ground. Thc Chufa is a plant of more vitality, and cac be transplanted at any stage of its growth witb more faciluy than any garden or field crop, to the miking . spaces which are " few and far between,*' and is far more reliable and productive, requiring less labor in culti vation, maturing in one half the time of the pot?to? or ground pea, and vleids three limes as much per acre. It. luxuriates ripon all poor or silicioii3 soils, enduros the most in tense drowths, nover wilteriug under a burn ing sun, its deep green leaves resembling a luxuriant field of rice, always presenting a ! cheerful promise, and nfever failing to return tug reward pf a iurfspsuilo.n when tit? culti vation bas been generous and ccmpieie. pur ing the most fatal seasons, we have ever ex perienced upon a field on which every other species of crops have rusted and u dried up" j during the first days of dry weather in May or June, and from which ws have not gath ered, without its tpc&ffr. manure five bushels of corm nor tiireo hundred, pounds of seed cotton per acre in thirty year.s, an average-of ? civilly two bushels of tubers per acre hate j b/en obtained.

From the Mobile-Adveriiser and Reg* of thc 23d we take, the fellowing : THE CHUFA ron noes. The value of tho Chufa as food for hoj still imperfectly appreciated, although i gradually coming into nae and favor. A.< siderable quantity of it was produced in county during the last year, and we will doing many of our readers a favor by info ing them that they can procure thc seed excellent quality at the store?of Messrs. I ly & Co., on ST.. Michael street, between \ ter and Commerce. The followingq?Mp fi one of the toost experienced and succ?s cultivators in this section will give the rea a general idea of the subject, and we trust cite him to a thorough investigation : PEAK SIR : In reply to your inquiry reg? ing the valuo of the Chula aa food for he we will say That after several year?' expericuv.e; regard the Chufa aa the best crop that ' be grown on our light sandy .soil for d\* ri iug of hogs. The Chufa requires but li labor in its cultivation, gruwH best ou d sandy soil, if very poor (as most of our p woods are,) should be manured just as if be cultivated in corn. An .ordinary yield is fre?a two io tb hundred bushels to tho acre. One acre good Chufas, will fatten ten brigs for po and one aero will famish sufiicient food ten bf your stock hogs for.fivo to six mont sav from lat October to lat Marchi "The course than t prefer in fattening them is to allow the hogs lo go iuto the fit ol' Chufas and remain but half an hour each day, .and then - have them turned oi When the Chufas become scarce, allow th? to remain an hour, then two honrs, and I wards the-close they may bo aliowed to go and out at pleasure. I regard the 1st of March as a suital time to plant.' The drills should be ihr feet apart, and the seed should be dropp one foot apart in tho drili. After they ba com* np, cullivato with a sweep or hoes. Tin must b& kepi clear of grass aud weeds. Some person* bave had fears that, if oi*. introduced into a plantation, they could n be readily controlled or exterminated if di sired, ho fear need be entertained on th sul)ject, for they are much more readily kiile than Ibo ordinary crab-grass.

To this, it is saported, the President objected. Since calls have been issucd'for " Morgan's m?n," hundreds, if not thousands, in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, have besieged the General with applicatious, whoso unanimity, of syirit at once bespeaks the hold he has secured upon the" popular heart.

The enemy, thus far, have captured about 20,000 bales, and we have been obliged to burn ajSont as much more. But as oUr stock reaches over 400,000 bales, our capacity to pay has not been seriously impaired. Mr. McRae ?vrites to the London Index: lt is now under the _ consideration of tho Government at Richmond to prohibit alto gether the exportation of cottou, except such as is pledged by its obligations.
