CHARLES WEST,Executor. Darien, April 9th, IH*l9. Thundering Spring. THE proprietors of this natural cariosity, respect fully inform their friends and the travelling public, generally, that they an prepared to accommodate all who may favor them with a call. The very short period which has intervened since their purchase, added to a scarcity of materials, has rendered it dif ficult to improve ns extensively as they desired; yet they know themselves willing to devote their undivi ded attention to promote the comfort and convenience of visitors and travelers. The water combines high medicinal qualities, con taining strong impregnations of Saltpetre, Magnesia, &c., ascertained from n partial analysis. We deem it unnecessary to append to this notice, a list of cer tificates relative to cures effected by using the water, as the doubts of the sceptical would not be removed, and those w ho would believe,may credit the asser tion, as such can be proved at any time. Several cases of violent Rheumatism have been entirely re lieved ; also Tetter, Scaldhead, running Ulcers, &c. Individuals laboring under Dyspepsia, will expe rience great relief from the. use of the, water. It is known to be highly efficacious in relieving all cutane ous diseases. It is due to ourselves, and for the information of the public at large, to state at least some of the mineral properties of the water; and also the nature of some oftnc diseases which have been cured at this place. We are aware of the prejudices generally engendered by vaunting advertisements of like character. The location of the spring in Upson county, is in a healthy region nearly surrounded by large hills on the north side of the Pine Mountain. A considera- ble quantity of game abounds in the woods adjacent, for the delight of sportsmen ; ar.d Flint It veris suffi ciently contiguous to afford amusement to the angler. Families desiring it, ean find ample seclusion from dusty streets and miasmatic regions of the lower counties, at the Thundering Spring,* where no pains will be spared on the part of the proprietors, to rend er their visit agreeable. Gaming and other irregularities will'be prohibited. Good order will be strictly- enforced. Afflicted persons w ill have a separate table prepar ed if desired, where they can tmve all the attention paid them they may require. The Bar will be supplied with choice Liquors of i various kinds, and attended by an efficient bur-keep- RATES OF BOARD.

THE MONASTIC CHARACTER. ’ # ‘‘Remote from man, with God lie passed Ui* tiny*, Prayer all hiffbusiltcss, all his ploMwro praise.” * Parnell, * Fallen.man lias never been able toiendnre the glory of superior excellence, since the hour when the guteS of Paradise weft cltAed upon a Regrading world, thong who Imve preferred repenttwee Hi rebellion*and have resigned the enjoyments of earth for comintittfon with heaven, have been made the ohjeets of almost universal scorn. Ants when’the ircal of ilie worshipper has Ifln st forth into enthusiasm, tynl dircctAi all the facultic/and affections of his sottl toit'singie object, the oontempt yf the world has riDcned inloliutred, and a spirit of pertjJEition lias arisen, which could be. ap peased only by tlie ashes that smoked around the slake or the Wood wffieh was sited upon the seulfoid. * , This natural aversion of religion insinuates itself into all our feelings and opinions. V‘ warps the mind with illiberal prejudice, and perverts tlie integrity of histSficul tryj t. ‘l'Jjc annals of the world exhibit no character more simple and unassuming Ilian that of the prim itive monk. Wearied with tlie corruptions and vanities of life, he (led from the luxury of im perial cities, to entomb himself in the recesses of a wilderness, and beyond the reach of hu man observation, persevered in the exercise of incredible austerities. Vet the name of the monk is associated with the darkest and most revolt ing images; with all that is base in ltypocricy, it athsomc in sensuality, or terribe irt bigotted oppression. The cowl, tlie convent, the mid night proc ssion, the penal austerity, the uu relaxing self denial of this singular order, ate clothed in all the darkness of mystery and ter rors of romance. And so deeply is this aver sion radicated, that no retiring modesty, no ardour of devotion, no personal merit whatev er, have been able to erase the impression which the power of popular tradition has left upon I the vulgar mind. The accumulated prejudice of ages entirely torbids impartial scrutiny ; and even qualities and exploits, which would shed a flood of glory on the memory of other men, are regarded wilh contempt, as the qualities and exploits of wretched devotees. V/liile we cherish with ‘ nthusiastic fondness tlie merno ! rv of those heathen sages, who, for the sake of intellectual cultivation, sacrificed tlie delights of pleasure, and the emoluments of business; we can forget, that, in an age, when the lights of science hadalmost ceased to be visible among men, when the remnants of Grecian and Ro man improvement were gradually merging irt the turbid ocean which had swallowed the em pire of the Cicsais; the monks , in the true spirit of philosophy, exchanged the possession of sor did affluence arid barbarous power, for the pains and privations of enlightened poverty. We can forget, that during centuries of igno rance and barbarism, the few unextinguished sparks which remained of a fire whose blaze had once illuminated the opposite shores ofthe Adriatic, where cherished in the cells of reli gious establishment , like the perpetual flame of Vesta, or the imperishable element of the Magi. The names of those who in latter times, have boldly asserted the natural rights of man, are embalmed in the memory of thousands; but an ungreatful posterity has forgotten, that it was the Monk, who gave the first check to arbitrary power, while modern revolutions were sleeping in the abyss of fulurity. The ancient sage, and the modern politician, re ceive an homage almost idolatrous, while con tempt or oblivion is the lot of the Christian pat riot ar.d the Christian philosopher. Ever scenes and situations, v.-hich are com- monly linked to the most pleasing recollec tions, excite no such emotion, when viewed in connexion with the services of religion. The ruined castle, the dilapidated temple of idola try, are visited as sacred retreats by tlie lovers of meditation. There is a hallowed influence pervading the desolate spots, which once ech oed to the sounds of human activity. A holy power seems to chain the soulof the spectator, as lie stands amidst the tombs of departed greatness; and lie almost hears the voico of those “Airy tongues, which Ry liable men’s names, On sands, and shores, and desert wilderness.” Yet the idea of the Convent is arrayed only in gloomy and terrible darkness, it is regar ded as the abode of black despair and mysterious horror. The monastic life is represented as a life of austere and hartless devotion, without any redeeming advantages or enjoyments ; in which tlie body was macerated, the Heart was hardened, tile conscience seared, tlie faculties impaired, and the sensibilities of our nature almost totally destroyed. This is a description of an enemy, a com pound of malignity and ignorance. Those, who; engrossed by tlie sordid and deadening cares of life, regard the Monks as stupid en lliusursts of villainous impostors, may boast of tlie refinements of worldly society. Rut it is only he, who has ‘trodden the silent courts of uu ancitut monastery, and mused in tlie con secrated iwilight’of a cloister; who has looked with a l’qjet’s eye upon tlie speaking objects which surrumid him, and felt all the thrilling inspiration of Ihe scene —it is only lie who can feel how infinitely more favourable to moral and intellectual improvement is such u situa tion, than a residence vexations and vulgarities of promiscuous intercourse. As the monk wandered ttessivffl'generalions had traversed in silence ; as it*; passed through eells.vvhicli had witnes sed tlft devotions of so many departed spirits ; us he gazed upon the walls over whose vener able battlements tlie lights ngd shadows of so many centuries had passed; in the fltidst of such a scene, suftounded by these silent, but eloquent cotnparfions, and joining daily in the early chaunt, or the Jioly evening song, his thoughts must have been brought into unison with these sacred and st*l>lime conceptions. With these objects in vfow, and inspired with tlie digntt'y of his ownsituation,. the*Solitary friar, though clothed in the garWof beggary,,, *dcsdfted the admiration of thuyvorld. The unyielding apathy of the stoic has been celebrated by the zeal of adniiri g disciples; wfdle in the conclusion of the convent, multi tudes of forgotten frjarsrftajve eiTtlured®he se cret pangs, from which the praudest champions of philosophy would have slutoak iri dMinay. A fid while no parallel can tig found to the pas sive fortitude of these humble followers of the cross, energy of design and promptness of ex-’ freution, where no less characteristic of the gen uine work. Putience and forbnarafiee, he, in deed, displayed, while patience and forbearance were requisite; but in the moment oflxigtyicy, lie was prepared to exercise the opposite, though consistent qualities: Who first con ceived the heroic design of delivering Jerusa lem from the power of the infidel J Modern philosophy has called it fanaticism, and brand ed its authors with contempt. But it was no fanaticism, which roused a world to rescue the sepulchre of a Saviour. It brought no wealth to the coffers of kings. It adds little to the extent of their dominions. But there was a stupendous dignity in the enterprize, and a majestic heroism in the mode of its accomplish ment. Who caused the millions of Christen dom to shake by a universal impulse, as if by some mighty covulsion, precipitated them into the plains and vallies of Judea? A wandering Afonk— an itinerant hermit! Beneath the cowl of that despicable wanderer, there was a power that could draw the Sovereigns of the mighti est empires from their thrones. In that glori ous hour, when Europe was moved by a spirit, which, alas ! has fled forever, the hands which had wielded no weapon but the instruments of self-inflicted punishment, grasped the imple ments of death. The limbs which had scarce ly supported the trembling Monk in his ordi nary duties, trod firmly and without fatigue the holy soil of Palestine ; and the voice which had been raised only in the prayer of penitence, or the swelling strain of the anthem, now mingled in the din of battle and the shouts of victory. That day of religious heroism has departed forever; and the septieal apathy of the nine teenth century refuses to believe that a cour ageous and enterprizing spirit could survive the discipline and devotion of a convent. Nor is this all. The veil has been lilted from the secrets of the heart: and ambition, avarice, and lust, have been exhibited as the secret springs which impelled so many thousands to the ser vice of their God. The Monk has been traced through all the windings of the difficult career, and his assailant, ventures to pursue him even into the retributions o'.’ eternity! These doubts and suspicious cannot be expelled lrom the minds of those, who are engrossed by the ordi nary occupations of society. But to such as have visited some gloomy pile of ancient day’s, and beneath the shade of Gothic arches, caught a glynips of the secluded throng encircling the alter, mingling harmony of the vesper hymn blended into one lofty tone, r** ‘ every placed face seemed clcvabjfj, ’ 1 rapture —to such, there :s “ merit to prove that, h-* VOL. 1.

Novel Coijktsiiii* and Litigation.— Not long since, in a town not twenty miles from Rutland, a sprightly old bachelor paid his addresses to a fascinating Miss, not far out of her teens, for a long time, (ns the story goes) and until matrimony was pretty freely talked of. Indeed, tlie apparently enamored wooer ultimately became so fa miliar with the family and its affairs, where he visited, thet, lie not very (infrequently, and without much ceremony, supped, took lodging, (with the boys, doubtless) anti breakfasted in tlie morning, ere lie took leave of his partial “sweet home.” At length, as the old saying goes, “hot love soon grew cold,” and his visits became “few and far between,” until they entirely censed. And so the affair rested for u while, but probably not without some sighs and palpitations on the part of the aban doned “maid forlorn.” But matters did not stop exactly here.
