his Cotton commonly called Sugar Loaf
Cotton, visited his place three several
times 10 lool; at his Cotton; ! considered II
decidedly the best boiled cotton have
ever seen. The season was very dry,
portion Of his land was thin, and yet II did
moi shed but very little, whilst other crops
of common seed seemed to be ruined.
The oal is smaller than tho commun
cotton of the country The shape Of the
stalk is often tho shape Of the sugar loa
hence the name, The sun finds It's way
more readily to tho bolls or squares, and
would suppose not SO subject TO be injured
by heavy spells Of weather. II is SAID u
picks easier than our common cotton. The
staple is good, ana am inclined to think
iiner than the Mexican.

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORY.

| Night kissed the young rose, and 1t bent
softly to sleep. Angel stars shrined in pure
dew drops, hung upon Its blushing bosom,
and watched its sweet slumbers. Morning
came with her dancing breezcs and they
whispered to the young rose, and it awekc
joyous and smiling. Lightly it danced to
and fro, in all the loveliness of health and
youthful innocence.
Then came the ardent Sun God, sweep
ing from the East, and he smote the young
rose with his golden shaft, and it tainted.
Deserted and almost he art -br oken, it drop
ped to the dust to the dust in its loneliness
and despair.
Now, the gentle breeze-whc had been
gamboling over the sea, pushing on the
light bark, sweeping over hill and dale-by
the neat cottage and the still brook-turn-
ing the old mill, tanning the fevered brow
of disease, and tossing the curl Of innocent
childhood-came tripping along on her er-
rands of mercy and love; when she saw the
young rose. she hastened to kiss it, and
fondly batted its forehead in cool, refresh
ing showers, and the young rose revived
looked sp and smiled, and flungiout its rud-
dy arms as if in gratitude to embrace the
kind breeze, but she hurried quickly away;
her generous task was performed, yet not
without reward, for she soon perceived that
delicious fragrance had been poured upon
her wings by the grateful rose; and the
kind breeze was glad in her heart, and went
away singing through the trees.
Thus, true charity, like the breeze which
gathers a fragrance from the humblest
flower it refreshes, unconsciously reaps a
reward in the performance of its offices, of
kindness and love, which steals through
the heart like rich perfume, to bless and
to cheer

Nor would | change my blissiul lot,

My heart bankrupt for thy sake.

Woulds't thou divine the maiden's love,
That nc'cr has been contest,
Strive not By qucstionings to move
The silence of her breast;
For love has many untaught ways
I 70 make its secrets known
4 sid c-long glancc,a word of praise,
Bestowed on Il ec alone.
If she, .hee. for another names,
/ Then sees the fond mistake;
While DER her cheek a thousand shames
In cons cious bushes break,
She hurricS to some idle theme,
With wcll-assumed concern,
Be Snrc that thou art in her dream,
And seek no more to learn.
Forprettily thy sense she'll cheat,
To hide the truth from thee;
Wfiic, lucklesS youth, there's no retreat
From the sweet witchery;
Bcwildcring thee in fond amaze,
\ captive TO the spell
That dwelIs in the enchanting gaze,
But exercised too weel
If she shouM start-then check surprise
Or laugh, yet lacking mirth-
Thcn. dart the lightning of her eyes
Prone to the s,nseleSs earth
Whenever thou approachest nigh,
BE sure that thou art dear;
And in her bosom turks sigh
Meant not for thee to hear,
Compel her not, then, to disclose
What shame would hide within,
'Tis rudely ravisling the rose
A gentler hand should win
The fairestflower that ever grew
Soon loses its perfume
When gathered-while expires each hue
Fond sunbeams kissed to bloom;
SO Love, an exotic most rare,
Thrives in the virgins breast
N native beauty leave it there.
Its genial place of rrst.

Envelop the coy thought,
The first pure sparkle from the rill
OF passions fountain caught,
Where Hopes bright iris tint sappear,
Reflected in the raw,
)f life's young morn, serenely clear,
Swiftly to pass away.
Then be content to lethereycs
Her hearts sweet secret tell,
'or oh, they never can disguise
WHAT'S known there but too well,
'or force her lips reluctantly
To syllable the sound
