the specimen OF only few Of the particu-
lars with regard to the plant, which we

ton, have taken The liberty TO style Poly
carp, Possesses many pecuiaIities, some
very remarkable, more Particular ac-
Cunt of which will perhaps, be given 10
you at some further day. | will merely
remark here that it differs very strikingly
in the shape of the stalk, leaves, pods,
quality, and length OF fibre of the cotton,
from either OF the other varieties. One
Of my neighbors says that it is the most
beautiful cotton plant he ever saw, and
that he would like to cultivate it, it il we're
for its beauty only;' and another, after OH
serving the vast number of bolls and
squares upon it, that it came exactly to
his idea OF perfect cotton" THIS cotton
has been put into the hands of Judges. who
pronounce il to possess the requisites of
fine cotton, but express doubt of its pro-
duc,iveness. Its strength is sufficient, its
evenness is its best recommendation, its
fibre finer and longer than The common
cotton, but not in either respect equal to

1t is, apparently, a green seed. We are
told that for length of fibre and other quail

TO make il profitable. This then is the
desiieratum, to get kind uniting the
qualities Of the finest with the necessary
proclivity TO yield. The DI. speaks ina
another part of his letter, of the necessity
of trying this seed another year, in better
land, TO learn whether it will be profitable
to plant. If he finds its ''vast number Of
boIcs and squares" matne to large size,

JUVENILE BENEVOLENCE.

There a widow of Strengthened crcumstan-
ces in village of New Jersey, who was left with
two little boys and girl dependent on her for
support. She had one winter just provided The
elder with new pair of shoes, by which he had
been much grat6ed; when cold morning,
very poor little boy came in to ask for charity. He
was cold and shivering, and his naked feet appeal
ed to the sympathy of little Daniel His mother
went out of the to get Of her little store
OF provisions for the needy one, and having given
it to him, he with many thanks left the house.
When she came back to the FIRE, she observ ed
Daniel sitting in an awkward position, with his
feet turned under him on a chair.
S "Why do you sit SO, my child" she inquired,
with surprise.
The child blushed, but did not place his feet in
their natural position until he had received a sec
ond command. The secret was now explained.
His feet were bare--he had given his new shoes
to the little barefooted boy. For moment the
woman felt half angry, and said somewhat quickly,
"Why did you do SO, Daniel? cannot afford 10
buy new shoes
1 know it, MOTHER he answered, s'but can
wear my old ones for while longer, even if they
have holes"
Touched by the disinterested feelings of her be-
loved boy, she could only kiss him and fold him to
her heart in fond embrace.
