Thundering Spring.
THE proprietors of this natural curiosity, reaped-!
fully inform their friends and the .travelling public
generally, that they arc prepared to accommodate all
i who may favor th**m with n call. Tbe very short j
I period which has intervened since their purchase, |
i added to a scarcity of materials, has rendered it dis
! ficuli to improve as extensively as they desired; yet j
j they know themselves willing to devote their undivi- J
ded attention to promote the comfort and convenience ;
of visitors and travelers.
The water combines high medicinal qualities, con
taiiting strong impregnations of Saltpetre, A/agnesia,
<Jtc , ascertained from a nartiul analysis. We deem j
it unnecessary to append to this notice, a list of cer-1
tificatcF relative to cures effected by using the water,;
as >ts oftlie sccpticdl would not be removed,
and those who would l*hcve, may credit the asser
tion, as such can be proved at any time. Several j
cas* ; of violent Rheumatism have been entirely re-’
lievcd ; 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
i the public at large, to state at lead some of the mineral
j propert'ea of the water; ami also the nature of some
| of the diseases which have been cured at this place.
Wc areuware 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 surround’d by large hills op
1 the north sia;of the Pine Mountain. A considera-;
i bie quantity of game abounds in the wood * adjacent.
for the delight of sportsmen; arid Flint H veris suffi
i ciently contiguous to afford amusement to the angler.
Families desiring it, can find ample seclusion from
dusty .streets and miasmatic regions of the lower
counties, at the Thundering Spring,* where no pains 1
will be spared on the part of thcjjroprietors, to rend
er their visit agreeable.
Gaming and other irregularities wilfbc prohibited,
i Good ord'T will be strictly enforced.
Afflicted persons will have a separate table prepar
ed if desired, where they can have all the attention
paid h**m they may require.
The Bar will be supplied with choice Liquors of
j various kinds, and attended by an efficient bar-keep- j
i er.

THE DUCHESS OF KENT
A widow with an only child,
The mother of our queen ;
A stranger in a foreign land,
Thy lot lias various been.
How many claims attend with thee
Upon a nations sympathy !
Ilow many anxious watching hours
Thy Mother’s heart Ims known,
Before the blossom was a flower —
The orphan on a throne!
All! may a glorious future wait
On thee —thy child—and England's fate!
LADY BLESSINGTON.
Yet on the haunted canvass dwell’s
The beauty of that face,
Which art’s deported Mastjrhcld
14s sweetest task to trace;
None see it but are prisoners held
* lu its strong toil of grace.
Nature thy fairy godmother,
lias lavished, for thy part,
A prodigality of gifts
T<t make thee what thou art
The lovely iace, the gifted mind,
The kind and gen crops heart.
PASTA.
I sec tliec, with thy night-black hair
Flung wild and loose in thy despair;
Upraised arc thy imploring hands
To heuven with yet thy prayer withstands;
And in thy dacp and flashing eye
Is passion’s utter agony.
Wy A Greciun statue dost thou seem,
Wrought up in sums tumultuous dream;
Wiiile in the music of thy tone
Is every thrill sorrow known.
Queen urt thou—and still must he queen,
While one heart keeps thy haunting scene.
WELLINGTON. t
The conqueror of a thousund fields !
Not usin olden time,
When turn age urged its crimson path,
Aim conquest was a crime—
Butin a uiyversal war
For every right sublime.
The laurel that he wears should have
In English hearts its birth ;
Hih victories kept inviolate
Our island’s sacred earth;
They were the glorious ransom given
For every English hearth.
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE.
Thy hand is cold !—thy colors weave
Their graceful lines no more!
Yet, painter of each lovely face
That lit our island shore,
The sc faces from the canvass shine,
And haunt us still with thee and thine.
Ilero and beauty—all who flung
Their spell around their day—
Owe to pencil memories
That will not pass away ;
The past —the present seems to be,
Thapks to thy art and thee {
Ri;mimsi:ences and Lett bus or Napoi.-
ison.—ln Itis report upon Corsica, lately
read by M. Blan-iui in the French Institute,
he mentions a discovery he made of an ear
ly correspondence of Bonaparte's. He
read a few of the letters, and merely al
luded to tire rest. It appears from them
that Bonaparte, when young, studied with
extr ole closeness, scarcely allowing him
self time to dress. One of his letters, at the
commencement of the revolutionary troub
les, is dated Axnonnc, where he was in
garrison. He writes thus: “The drums
beat. I tremble lest I should be sent to
Dijon; for it would cost me 10 louis, and
where the deuce am lto get them ?” The
following is a letter from Napoleon, addres
sed to his father, from the school of Brienne,
17.8 U : “My dear father, your letter, as you
may imagine, did not cause me great plea
sure, but the good of your health and fam
ily console and make me approve your re
turn to Corsica; and, indeed, whilst assur
ed ofthe continuation of your kindness and
exertion to push me on and second my
wishes, why should 1 not be contented !
l write, therefore, to ask what effect the
: waters have had on your health, and to as
sure of my eternal gratitude. lam deiighl
: ed that Joseph had gone to Corsica, pro
vided he be here about the Ist of Novem
ber. He may come, because Father I’at
rould, my. mathematical master, will not
leave this. The principal bids me assure
vou that Joseph shall be well received.
M. Patrauld is an excellent master of ma
thematics; he will undertake to teach Jos
eph with pleasure, and if my brother will
work hard, wc can go together to the artil
lery examination. You have no step to
take in my favor, I being of the school.
You must, however, for Joseph; but, as you
have a letter for him, you say, that sudices.
I had much rather you would send Joseph
here to Brienne than to Metz or anywhere
else—fit si, because this would be a con
: sedation to Joseph, Lucien, and me;second
ly, because you would be obliged to write
j and i answer of the principal at
; Metz, **! would be another cause of dc
i lay; thirdly. they don’t teach at Metz what
Joseph wauls for his examination in six
month*. My brother not knowing any- i
tiling of mathematics would he put it)
mere children’s class, and disgusted. >So
that it is belter to send him here; and I
hope to see Joseph before the end of Octo
ber. lie has no need of quitting Corsica
before the -Oth or 27th of October, in order
to he here tho 12lh or 13th of November.
Send me, I pray you, Boswell's History of
I Corsica, with any other history or memoir
of that kingdom. Don’t be afraid but that
I shall take care of them and bring them
back to Corsica when I return, were it six
years hence. Farewell, my father. Chc
valct greets you: ho studies hard. The
inspector will be here in a few days, and 1
will send you word what he says to me.
Present my respects to Minolta Savcria,
aunt Gertrude, uncle Nicolonio; compli
ments to Mnnnicn, Francesca, Santo, Juana,
Ignazio. Send me tidings of them, and
tell me they are happy. Wishing your
health ns good as mine,

“Good afternoon, Squire Jones.”
“Good afternoon, friend Darby, eome walk
in.”
“Well, Squire, how is your lovely darter
Sal, 10-duy, and the re t of the family /”
“Why, they’re all up and übout, partteu/.ily
Sal, she is very hearty, has a good appetite
nnd cats a right smart chance; and the way
she smokes her old pipit is the right way and
sings—Lord man, she sings like a martingale.
Oh, she^abuster!”
“Well, Squire, I am glad to hear so much in
praise of Sul, for I Lve her mightily, and mean ;
to court her too.”
“Why, that’s piajn, honest and clever—i’ll
go uttd call Sal.”
Sure enough he did, and she soon made her
appearance.
“How are you, Sal,” says I.
“Oh, softer middling. How do you feci, Mr.
Darby ?”
“Why, Sal, I ain’t very well—l’m tove
sick.”
‘O hush, you dou’tsay so —well do tell me
who she is?” *
With that I sorter Sidled up to Sal, and Sal
she kinder sidled off.
Says I—“ Sal, don’t he so darmition skittcrish,
for you are the very gal I’m utter.”
“Goet out. you don’t sav so.”
“Yes I do, and I’m in as hard earnest, as ever
my old dog Lion was at a coon.”
That pleased her mightily, and she kinder
tossed her head and looked as proud as some
of your town girls do when they gut ill a ball
room.
Says 1, “Sal will you have me!”
“I reckon its how I will—you don’t caldb
this child refusing to do that tiling when she
has so good a chance.’’
So off we went to the parson’s, and Sal nnd I
got ni imed, and We now live us kinder hap
pily together us can be. only sometimes she
bawls out to me,“Mr. IJerhy, bon’lbea-spitting
your tobacco juice on the fire-dogs, and stick
ing your feet on the fender. —May 1 be burnt if
I can keep any thing decent for you—plague
take all the tobacco chcwers, I say, that are as
nasty as you ahvuy ~ are about it.”
And the way she raps my toes with the
longs, when she jp es my feel on the fender, is
no ways common I tell you—however, f live
as happily as I can expect with a woman—that’s
the fact.
Character. —In a moral sense, character J
signifies an habitual disposition of thesoul, that j
inclines to do one thing in preference to anotli
cr of a contrary nature. Thus a nun who sel
dom or never pardons an injury, is a revenge
ful character. Let it be remarked that we any
seldom or never, because a character results
not from a disposition being rigorously con
stant at all times, but from its being generally
habitual, and that by Which the soul is most
frequently swayed. Mr. Duclos, in his ‘Tie
flections upon manners,” very judiciously re
marks, that the greater part of the errors and
sillies in the conduct of mankind, hap, rn. be
cause they have not their minds in a i quili
brimn, as it were with their characters. Thus
Cicero had a great genius, but a weak soul,
which is the reason of his being elevated to
the highest pinnacle of fame as an orator, al
though he could never rise above mediocrity
as a man.
There is no member of society more danger -.
ous than a man without a character, that is a
person whose soul lias not any one disposition ;
more habitual to it than a Hot Her. Wc readily
confide in a virtuous man, but arc distrustful
of a villain. The man without.a character is, |
allternately the one and the other, nor arc wc j
able to determine which. He is a sort of am- |
phidious being, if we nray b i allowed the ex
pression, that is, not specifically, adapted to
live in any one element. This recalls to our
rememberunce that admirable buy of Solon,
which declared all those parsons iulauious, who
were of no party, in timosof sedi ion, because
he well knew that there are no objects more
to be feared in society, than men undetermin
ed, from a want of character.
Desire to penetrate into Fcrcßirv.
Nothing can suggest us a more striking and
stupendous idea of the faculties of the human
mind, than the consideration of the various
arts by which men hvc endeavored to penc-j
Irate into the future, in ways that in sobriety j
and truth are entirely out of our competence. .
Wo spurn impatiently against the narrow iiin- .
its which the. constitution of tilings lias fixed !
to our aspirings, and endeavor, hy a multiplicity
of ways to accomplish that which is totally j
beyond the power of man to effect.

HOPE. ’
With hearts “light as gossamer,” we com
mence the journey of life, in the fond hop"'>i..t
the gay and sunny hours that now lioVer
around us will be our companions through a
lengthened and ever brightening journey. No
clouds of darkness intervene to throw a shad
ow on our fair prospects. The captivating vi
sions. and sweet whisperings ofhope cheer us
up the hill of life. The pictured fields of plea
sure gleam before the young fancy with in
creasing lustre. Vivid imagination strew s our
pathway with the gayest and sweetest flowers.
Joyous and happy youth ! “Hope i thy star,
her light is ever thine 1” No sooner have we
passed the fairy land of youth, than the delu
sion vanishes. In gliding down the stream of
time, who is there that meets with uninterrup
ted felicity 1 Surrounded with misfortunes,
and mooting with
step, our faliiablc natures would
the accumulated weight of cares
ties incident o mortality, where it not that
hope whispers of a bright futurity, ‘ r V.n days
shall glide smoothly on, unruffled b. ’care, or
the angry passions of nature. When vicissi
tudes and adversity lower over our fate, then
hope comes, like a “fair’.’ vision,” with all her
cheering iruin “bright aa the bourn of (horning,”
and enables us to support, with fortitude, the
“frowns of a giddy world, and the scofii of fick
el fortune.” Guided by this “beacon light,”
what sorrow cannot assail thr. cannot be alle
viated ? What misery is there for which this
cannot present the cupof consolation. When
under hope’s genial influence, what can invade
our bosom’s calm repose, sereheas the surface
ortho glassy lake, undisturbed by llie storm’s
rude blast. Hope speeds as one pleasure's
wing, sometimes grasping at impossibilities,
she lures on in the prrsuit of phantoms.
“Thou tinge] of life !” Thou canst heighten
all our pleasures, and lesson all onr grief.
When rankling cares annoys our peaceful
homes, when we are doomed to the ills of pov
erty unpitied by the world, and unknown to
fame, then h ope bestows a smile lipon us, and
chases the pangs that scar otir highest enjoy
ment. In peril’s darkest hour, when storms
lower o’er us, and settin"heady to burst with
thunder over our destiny, what is our stay tffrd
comfort ? ‘Tis hope, whose bright and peer
less rays penetrat the deep despondency of
our hearts, and potent as a magic wan*],
pels the eben ctouds of despair that gather
with more than Egyptian darknpss around us.
To when wending his way
though life’s uneven path, what other support
has he then a hope of future reward; to him it
is the “Kgetm shield,” that easts fa? and wide,
its bright and glorious rays. To the pilgrim,
, the last home of man is a pleasant theme; love
ly not only that it holds his best and purest
hopes, and the charms that made the world
fair amid its desolation, but al the entrance
upon anew scene of existence of unalloyed
j happiness. To him the cold ajid dreary grave
I seeds up a sweet ami holy pleasure to his
weary and broken spirit.—Death is welcomed
us the: harbinger of peace, the. introduction to
that better land where all the noblerfoelings of
the soul shall become perfect und glorious a#

Interesting Custom. —A custom that
was once prcvalentln Spain, is deserving
of notice* When any one dies, the relat
ions, friends und neighbors, carry to the
survivors, at meal times, for three days,
one or more plates of food, under the idea
that the grief which they suffer will not per
mit them to “think on nutriment. Some
persons also accompany these dishes, in
■ order to offer consolation to the family.
Salt-cellar. —Why itas it been deem
ed unlucky to overturn a salt-cellar ? This
superstition wus derived from Pagan Rome,
where the salt-dish was a holy platter, in
which the firstlings of the feast were offer
ed to the gods, and which was usually
ornamented with the figure of some -divih
ity. To overturn altars and images of the
1 gods was naturally held ominous.
Economy. —A correspondent of the Bay
.State Democrat tells a good story i allus
trntion of this most commendable virtu,,
II errs thvanredote:
“ A miserly mail would offten say to Ids
children, “now, rny dears, which of you
1 will have a cent and go to bed without nip
per?” Answer, “tve all will, father,” The
. next morning, he would say, “will you give
a cent and have warm cakes for breakfast?’’
“Yes/” yes!” they would reply, with one
accord. Thus he would get hi-, money
back again, and cheat them out oi u meal
I worth double the amount.
A JisLtigm.RiTcd Pott^ ‘orme tvanior
presenifed himself to 1.. . Indian agent at
j Chicago, and, observing that he was a very
good man—very good indeed—and n good
, friend to the Long-knives (the Americans.)
requested a dram of whiskey. The agent,
answered that Fro-never gave whiskey to
| good men, good men never asked for whis
key, and never drank it; it was only bad
: Indians who asked for whiskey, or liked to
! drink it. “Then,” t epllcd the Indian quick-

A man never treats the exaggerations
j and extravagance of his own anger as ser
-1 iouslv as he does those of his affection : the
: latter he believes himself, the former lie
only wants others to believe.
Women and men. —In a recent trial at
i Boston, where a woman was concerned,
i Mr Sprague remarked that women, when
i good, were bettor that men, and when bad,
were worse than men, as the swect/iest
i things when soured made the sharpest
. vinegar.
