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.

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.

Wishing your health ns good as mine, “I am your vety humble and most obedient son, “De Bonaparte, Cadet.” SAM DAIIBY’%cArRTSIIIP. “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. 1 # j Scent, at a Tavern.—“l say old friend j why did you drop that paper so suddenly when the editor slept in!” “Ah!

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# the angles of GOD. HELENA-* 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- I ly, in his broken English, “me damrascal [il/rs- Johnsons “Canada.” 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. !
