EDiTOR:-Your cnrio.?pnncJeni"Jones." in the last number of the Cultivator, puis to M you some questions upon a subject which m all fanners are deeply interested in understanding: "Whether it is best to turn under tlte stubble, grass and weeds upon our stubble land, or to burn it off."' I am in favor ?fthe former, and have no doubt that ta king a aeries of years together, it is much better to improve the land, which I take it is the grand object with us all, I think 1 see clearly that the difficulty under which "Jones" labored in his experiment, was that it was too late in the season hef >re he turned the stubble and ?rass over, while at the same time it was the proper time to piofit by burping- The experiment was not a ifL :n .-i.? _ ?ri..o lair l>nu. II IIU win laivu a (iitLb hi iiio smiw tile an.l grass land this tall, say the last of September or October, and turn it over to such depth as the soil will allow?getting to the clay, but not turning it up to any extent ?he will find when he comes to plant next spring, that the vegetable matter will be. so decomposed as to impart much life and vigor to his crop, whether corncotton, or any thing else, and his laud to that extent permanently improved, loose and mellow. J5ul if lie waits until February or March, and then turns under a large crop of weeds and grass which at that time is dry and brushy no crop that 1 ever have tried w ill grow well o i ii. * After burning over such land in the spring 1 have taken a bull tongue or gopher plow, and cross plowed a second and third time, and broke the dry weeds and grass, and the surface soil as fine as it could be done bv such a process, yel my corn came up badlv, looked iceb e and made a poor crop. The reason to my mind is obvious. The dry weeds and grsss affording at the lime no nourish me nt, to cither land or crop, being thoroughly mixed with the soil, makes it too open and porous for the grvwth of corn, cot fiih or any oilier crop to take root. A fieavv roller would do more good toward correcting the evil when land is put in this situation, than any thing of vvh'ch I know. If MJoncs" will continue to burn oil'all such vegetable matter from the same piece of ground every spring, for a series of years, lie wiil derive some immediate advantage from ttie ashes, which is a nrsi rate article for cotton as well as corn, when applied in thin way. Worms and such insects will be 4?*s likely to prcv upiri his crop while small. But lie will find alter pursuing this mode for a few years, that his land will become close and tight, break up cloddv, and will require something more than the little sprinkle of ashes made from the vegetable matter burnt on it to make any crop that he would call a good one. Willi regard to the spring and fall turning, I speak from experience. As to the burning process. 1 nexer practiced it much, and therefore give only my notions, such as they arc. A Mountaineer.

Culture of Tea in the United States. ?Wc find the following in a late number of tiie National Intelligencer: An attempt is about to be made on an exlan.-loa cxlln lit MHO 111" CT1T?W I I'll In t lll-J IVIIOI* V OVUlVf H?

There are about five hundred in num. her and they arc from one two feet in height. The gentleman who is cngagd in this enterprise is Mr. Junius Smith, a native of the State of Connecticut, but a resident many years in London, whero he was largely engaged in trade and commerce. He was alao one of the early and efficient advocates of tlie practicability of navigating the ocean by steam, and did much io England towards forwarding that enterprise. Having turned his attention to the subject of raising and curing tea, and the nat to of climate and soil adapted to that plant, lie thinks there is no reason why it should not be produced is this country, not only for home consumption, hut exportation. Mr. Smith left here three or four months ago, and went to l*ondon to increase his information on the subject, and had all the facilities granted him for that purpose which London could afford. And, having completed his store of knowledge on the subject, lie has pow returned home with five hundred tea plants to carry out his enterprise. For this purpose he will, in a few days or weeks, go sooth, perhaps 10 some part of Georg a or Alabama, having ascertained the soil and climate in that section of the country are precisely what the plant requires. He thinks there is no reason why tea should not become a great staple growth of our country. Says it may be raised for six cents a pound. He will keep the plants he now has for seed p'ants, three or four years, in order tosprea the cultivation rapidly, and after that kee ~ thetn for the crop. It is an important meat ,j nre. How he will succeed time must de *- term inc. ?n ' e- From the Home Jonmal. ? THE CLOSING YEAR. It is a melancholy task to reckon with th ly departed year. To trace back the curiou s" threads of affection through its many colore* r* woof, and knot anew its broken places?t j. number the missing objects of interest, th v dead and the neglected-to sum up the brn r" ken resolutions, the deferred hopes, the dis ? solved phantoms of anticipation, and th* many wanderings from the leading star o duty? this indeed is a melancholy task, bu il withal, n profitable, and, it may 3 metimc 8 be, a pleasant and a soothing one. It i: e wonderful in what short courses the object of this world move.

Ilcrc and there an aspirant fin fame still stretches after his eluding shadow here and there an enthusiast still clings t< his golden dieain?here and there (and a'as how rarely) a friend keeps his truth, and a 1 lover his fervor?but h w many more, that were as ambitious, as enthusiastic, as loving as these, and cold, and false? You tnav keep a record of life, and as surely as it is human, it wd be a fragmented and disjointed history, crowded with unaccoimtablencss and change. There is nothing constant. The links of life are forever breaking, but we rush on still. A fellow-traveler drops from our side intoihe grave?a guiding star of hope vanishes from the skv?a creature of our affection, a child and an idol, is snatched from us-perliaps nothing with which we began the rare is left to us, and yet wc do - i ?. -A j _.;i ".iff il.? iinl nan. unwind?sii i onwaru is nit: eternal cry. and as the pr*.st recedes, the broken ties are forgotten, and the present and future occupy us alone. There are bright chapters in the past, however. If our lot is capricious and broken, it is also new and various. One friend has grown cool, but another is better. We have encountered one man's prejudi. res, but, in so doing, we have unexpectedly (loitered the partialities of his neighbor. \ui have neglected a recorded duty, but a deed of charity, done upon impulse, has brought up the balance. In an equal temper of nnnd, memory, to a man of ordinary goodness of heart, is pleasant company. A careless rhymer, whose heart is better than his head, says; "I would not escape from memory's land, For all the eye can view; For lhe:e*? dearer dust in momory's land, 'J'han the ore of rich Peru. I clasp the fuller by memory twined. The wanderer's heart and soul to bind." It was a good thought suggested by an ingenious friend of mine, to make one's will amiuallv, and remember all whom we love in it in the degree of their deservings. 1 have a? ted upon the hint since, and truly it is keeping a calender of one's life. J have little to, (icqiieath indeed?a manuscript or two, some half d"zon pictures, and a score or two of much-thumbed and choice authors but. sl'ght as the poor mementoes are, it is pleasant to rat* their difference, and write inroiiiL;! tlwvm f Kn nnnioc a f nnr Crtr?nr|c fic we should wish them left if we knew we were presently to die. It would he a satisfying thought in sickness, that one's friend would leave a memorial to surest us when we wore gont-lhat they would know that we wished to he remembered by them, and remembered them among the hist. And it it is p'easant, too, while alive, to change the order of appropriation with the ever-varying evidence of affection. It is a relief to vexation and mortified pride to erase the name of one unworthy or false, and it is delightful, as another gels nearer to your lu art, with the gradual and sure test of int imacy, to prefer him in your secret register. If 1 should live to he old. I doubt not it will he a pleasant thing to look over these little testaments. It is difficult now, with their kind offices and pleasant faces about one, to realize the changes of feeling between the first and the last-more difficult still to imagine against any of those familiar names, the significant asterisk which marks the dead-vet if the common chances of lui. % r* tioiiK o 11/1 flif* clill frinro ice fervently and from the heart; but I know not, if others look upon death with the same irropreBsiblc horror that d I do, Imw iheir joy con be so thoughtless, h" p It seems to me, matter for deep, and almost all fearful congratulation.
