Thundering Spring.
THE proprietors of this natural curiosity, respect
fully inform their friends and the travelling public
generally, that they art prepared to accommodate all
who may favor them with a call. The very short
|>eri<Kl which has intervened since their purchase,
added to a scarcity of materials, has rendered it dif
ult to improve as extensively as they desired; yet
they know themselves willing to devote their undivi
ded attention to promote the comfort and convenience
of visitors und travelers.
The water combines high medicinal qualities, con
tabling strong impregnations of Saltpetre, A/agnesia,
Ac., ascertained from a partial analysis. We deem
it unnecessary toapfiend to this notice, a list of cer- j
tificates relative to cures effected by using the water,!
as the doubts ofthe sceptical would not lie removed,
and those who 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, Scald head, running Ulcers, A c. i
Ind viduals laboring under Dyspepsia, will expe- j
ricnce great relief from the use of tne water. It is
known to be highly efficacious in relieving all cutane- 1
ous diseases.
It is due to ourselves, and for the information of
the public at large, to state at least some ofthe mineral
pi pert'es ofthe water; and also the nature of some
ihe diseases which have been cured at this place.
We are a ware of the prejudice* 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; and Flint R ver is suffi
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
will be spared on the part of the proprietors, to rend
er their visit agreeable.
Gaming and other irregularities wilfbeprohibited.
Good order M ill be strictly enforced.
Afflicted persons w ill have a se per ate table prepar
| ed if desir’ and, where they can have all the attention

THE MOTHER’S FAREWELL TO HER
WEDDED DA UGH TER.
Go dearest one, my selfish love
Shall never pale thy elieek :
But e’en a mother’s fears for thee,
Will I in sadness speak;
Yet how can I with coldness check
The burning tears that start 1
Hast thou not turned front me to dwelt
Within Brother’s heart I
I think on earlier, brighter days
Wuen first my lips were prest
Upon thy baby brow, whilst thou
Lay helpless on my breast.
E'en then 1 knew it would lie thus,
I thought e’en in that hour,
Another would its perfume steal
When 1 had rear’d the flower.
A Mother’s lovet—oh! thou know’st not,
How much of feeling lies,
In those sweet words ; the hopes the fears,
The daily strengthening tics;
It lives are yet the infant draws
Its earliest vital breath,
And dies hut when the mother’s heart,
Chills in the grasp of death.
Mv love for thee shall ever he
Fond as in years gone by,
While, to thy heart I shall be like,
A dream of memory.
Dearest, farewell, may nn*rel hosts
Their vigils o’er thee keep ;
How can 1 speak that fearful word,
“Farewell,” and yet not weep !
THE CHILD AND THEGOSSAMER.
A sunbeam was playing through (lowers that hung
Round u casement that looked to the day,
And its bright touch wakened a child, who sung
As it woke, and being its play,
Atul it played with the gossamer bcani that shed
Its fairy brigbtneis around its head.
Oh, ’twns sweet to sec that child so fair,
At play with the dazzling things of air !
Oh, ne’er was a lovelier plaything seen,
To childhood’s simplicity given!
It seem’d like a delicate link between
The creatures of earth and heaven.
But (be sunbeam was crossed by an angry cloud,
And the gossamer died in the ulmtlowy i>****l f
And the child looked sad whe it the bright things lied,
And its smile was gone, and its tears were shed.
Oh, gentle child, in thy infant play’
An emblem of life bast thou seen;
For joys are like sunbeams—more, Meeting than they,
And sorfows cust shadows between;”
And friends that in moments of brightness arc won,
Like gossamer, only are sen—in the sun.
Oh ! many a lesson of sadness may
Bu learned from a joyous child at play.
aaaaojiaa&srafo ~
The man who thinks and the mam
who acts. —’Tis a noble destiny, no doubt,
to be u great Poet, or a great Philosopher,
or a great Writer of any kind—and folks
have said that to think is nobler than to act
—that those men whose greatness was in 1
their thoughlffil genius must he of a higher
order of mind than those whft won their !
renown by achievements in the strife of the
world, ruling or warring—yet the voice of
mankytd has not thus witnessed, nor per- 1
haps our own feelings. Indeed, our ima
gination seems almost to full from un eagle
flight, when it passes from the renown of
those who have been mightiest in action, to
those who have been mighty only in the
speculative or creative mind. Their glory
seems of a different order. Akenside says,
in consonance, as we think, with the com
mon sentiment of men—
“ Not fir beneath the warrior’s feet,
Nor from the legislator’s teat,
Stands far remote the bard.”
We think that this common feeling may
be explaiired and justified. The philoso
pher, whatever and how high soever his
knowledge, may not he a great man. He
may know the heights of the human mind,
yet he may not be high himself. His in
tellect may be mighty, and yet his soul
may be low. It is the same with all those
whose genius is their title to glory. We
seem in all of them to sec certain faculties
of the mind exalted into great power.
But the human being himself, may or may
not be exalted along with these faculties.
These are but powers belonging to him ;
these arc not him.,elf. If we ask, then,
what is it to the ordinary apprehension,
constitutes the man himself—it is his will.
If the will is high, the man is high, if the
will is degraded, the mail is degraded. But
by the will is not here meant affection, pas
sion, and desire—not at least as simple
feelings however strong; hut it means the
will to act —proved and tried with conten
tion and difficulty, with the burdens and the
terrors which bow down or appal. He
who has genius, in this view, is nothing ;
but he whose genius is untroubled and clear
on the thundering deck, is exalted in his
whole being by that perfect power of his
will of which his genius gives the evidence.
So affection and desire do not in them
selves exalt the man by any vehemence
with which they may be felt, or any noble
ness they may include; but the moment they
are put to severe proof and tried, and they
are found to endure the proof—as soon as
generous loyalty has thrown its breast in
the way of death—as soon as wealth as sa
crificed to honor, so soon the passion en
nobles the man; because it is found to be
more than emotion and desire—it is found
to have the strength of will. It is in the
will exalted indeed by affection and desire,
exalted by thought and genius, that we
find the elevation of the hnrnan being. In
fewer and simpler words, it is the personal
character, that we regard first, and the in
tellectual character is only a secondary
consideration. This is the account of the
causes which in man’s judgment of the
characters of others determine the com
parison they make between those who have
been great, in great action, and those who
have stood at the height of mental achiev
ement.
Youth has the same depth of thought as
age, but wants the lead-line which meas
ures it profoundly.-
Poetic Genius—its Effects in Scientific
and solid Occupations.
Ho fur from poetic imagination being in
any sense a hindrance to the judgment, it
is a staunch supporter ami aid. Ii is that
which gives to powerful minds the ready
apprehensions ; the faculty of just, yet rap
id unalysis ; the subtle insight into the
springs of motive, which leads so quickly
to the door of truth ; the calm, yet sudden
views of facts; these are all characteristics
of a ruraly poetic mine ; ami what is better
for a Judge ? Those who have read the
Novum Organum of Lord Bncont, know
thatprofound judge of the I uman intellect j
classes the poetic faculty among the first
and highest of the mind, as being the di
vines! light, which can the quickest arm
and guide the understanding ; ann Seneca
and Cicero have both anXiotns to a similar j
effect. In truth, so far from being dissocia
ted from the business and bosom a of men in
the mass,'it is in some manifestation or
other, their moving and quickening spirit.
It was imagination which enabled Fulton
to plough the wave with his weltering
wheels and resistless enginery ; which gave
anew to Franklin the fertile of Prometheus,
that caught the fire of heaven ; that filled
the first factories with the hum of busy
wheels, and cotton gins. It is in every
sense an active, emulous, and useful spirit.
There was never yet a successful merchant
without his share of it, in some shape or
other. Why docs he semi out his ventures,
or make his prospective moves in. trade t
Because the inner eye looks beyond those
outward ; assists the judgment in its con
clusions, and prompts the will to action.
Never wear there more princely merchants
than the De Medicis ot Florence—Cosmo,
for instance, and Lorenzo, “ the magnifi
cent.” Yet there is poetry in its most pal
putable shape connected with writings that
sanctify their name. It was the crowing
glory of that great English statesman, Can
ning, that his poetic faculty, at first openly
exercised in bright and classic verse, at lust
stood him good stead amid the weight of
-eminent-office; and decpcsr cnrcs of state.
In our own country, we never heard that it
did not show met it in u Daniel Webster,
that he could write good verses, nml (ling
gtteshes of poetry into his Congressional j
speeches, that thrilled the American bosom, j
as by a single nerve, as well as expound J
the Constitution in the Supreme Court of
the Union, or plead the cause of Slates
upon that sacred floor ; nor have we deem
ed it other than a bright spot in the career
of Nicholas Biddle, when he exercised his
mind hi the production of genuine poetry, j
or as editor of a periodical, or writer of cele- j
lira ted travels ; the faculty through which
he then shone, has since appeared in equal \
though not superior lustre. That Fitz- i
Greene Halleck owns the poetic faculty, |
has not done otherwise than aid his wcll
dulanccd understanding in the management
as confidential partner and agent of the vast
business of John Jacob Aslor; nor does it
appear that the concerns of the staunch
Globe Bank of Boston are other than most
able sustained in the official services of that
arch-poet, Charles Sprague ; nor that Ed
ward Everett makes a bad Governor of
Massachusetts, because he writes good poe
try. We might cite inumerable instances,
hut they are needles to susatin a point which
every important actor or event in com

Ext “acts from the Journal of a Balloon
ist.—Passing a cloud, I put out my hand
and took a piece ofit, and squeezed it like
a sponge, and the water ran out. The sun
went north about, but never set. At the
distance of about fifty leagues above the
earth, we saw a white swan sitting on the j
corner of a cloud. If we had had a gun we j
could have shot it. Passing by the moon, j
wesaw a fellow selling land at auction. He
wished ns to give a bid, but we told him
we had not come to buy lands in the moon. |
We came across a comet, but it was asleep, j
It looked like a terrapin, but had a tail like
a fox.
We came near a hail-bank, and filled a
hat to bringdown with us. The hail-stones
were about as large as a pigeon’s egg.
A thousand miles above the earth, we
passed through a field of turkey-buzzards-

has ever found a nest of one of these. These
rookeries are out of sight in the almost

As we approached one of the heavenly
bodies it appeared like an island. We
struck upon a planet, hut Blanchard got out
and pushed off the balloon. We supposed
it to be Mercury, as we heard orators har
anguing, and a multitude of tongues.
There were marriages going on in Venus,
and in Mars we heard the drums beat.
In Jupiter we heard swearing—O Jupi

W'e meant to have a pull at one of Sa

and found ourselves in the latitude of Her

er to shape our course towards the earth
again.
The first thing we saw was the forest of
Ardennes, which appeared like a shamrock.
The Pyrcenian mountains like a bed of
parsley ; and the Atlantic Ocean about as
large as Loch Swilley.
Within a furlong of the earth, Blanchard

Thomas Morgan was executed at New

about two o’clock for the murder of Joseph

pressed feelings of repentance, a hope of
forgivness, and expectation of future happi

The Motherless.—How Interesting he
appears to every feeling mind! A. child
robbed of his mother excites commiseration
and affection from every bosom. We look
forward with anxiety future period of his
life, and our hopes attend every step of his
journey. We mingle our tears with his
on the grave of her whose maternal heart
bis ceased to death, for we feel that ho is
bereaved of the fiiond and guide of his
youth ! His father would, but cannot sup
ply the loss. In vuin the whole circle of
liis friends blend their efforts to alleviate
his sorrows, and to fill the place’ occupied
by departed worth; a mother must be mis-
I sed every moment by a child who has ever
known and rightly valued one, when she
! sleeps in the grave. No hand feels so soft
: as Iters—no voice sounds so sweet; —no
smile is so pleasant! Never shall he find
again in this wide wilderness, such sym
pathy, such fondness, such fidelity, such
tenderness, as he experienced from his
mother! The world is moved with com
passion for that motherless child, but the
whole world cannot supply her place to
him.
A Beautiful Extract. —When JEschy- -
lus, the Greek poet was condemned U)
death, his brother an orator and hero, was
summoned to plead his cause.—While the
audience were gazing with intensity of in
terest to hear what would be said, he si
lently lifted up the stump of his dismem
bered arm, which he had lost itr the serv
ice of his country, and said not a word.—
The multitude burst into shouts of applause,
and the poet was saved. The dumb elo
quence of that limb spoke more powerfully
than words that burn. So Christ, the Lamb
of God, while interceding in heaven for
man, presents before his Father his scars
and wounds, his hands and side, and these
speak in behalf of the sinner far more pow
erful than the eloquence of angels could.

Tub Effects or it. —Our readers will recol'’
lect that the Legislature of Massachusetts
passed an act, that no man should sell a less
quantity of ardent spirits at one time than fif
teen gallons. This has been called tile fifteen
gallon law, and has putin exercise much Yan
kee ingenuity for its evasion. Aino.ig other
methods for that purpose, not the least ingeni
ous, was the exhibition of a striped pig at six
cents a sight and a di ink of liquor gratis. The
matter bus recently assumed a more serious
shape, and a number of indictments have
been found, upon information laid by a set of
informers, who style themselves the tempe
runce prosecuting committee. Such combina
tions to enforce the act have led to combina
tions to resist it, and it is not uncommon to see
five or six thousand persons collected to wit
ness a trial for having violated the law. If the
defendant is fined by the Court, the fine is paid
by his friends, if be is imprisoned he is furn
ished like a prince and the punishment is
mere mockery. On a recent occasion, during
the trial of a grog seller in Boston, he was ta
ken from the Court to his residence, in a fine
carriage and four elegant gray horses, amidst
the shouts and boisterous acclamations
thousands of the people. The worst feelings
of poor human nature are excited, and .more
evil grows out of the law than it is possible
for it to remedy, and thus it w ill be, whenever
it is attempted to cure a moral evil, of this
character by the strong arm of the law. The
Rev. Mr. Flournoy will do more good in three
months time than the Legislature can with ?
hundred enactments. — Columbus Enq.

Painful Suicide. —We are informed tliaj
Ezra Jewell, Esq. editor of the Lyons Argus,
committed suicide at Lyons on Monday, June
17th, between twelve and one o’clock, P. M.
by shooting himself through the heart with a
pistol. The deceased suffered under pecunia
ry embarrassment, and was somewhat given
to despondency. He was an industrious young
unmarried man of 22 or 23 years of age, and
much respected by his fellow citizens. The
event of his sudden and violent death is in eve>-
ry respect gTeutly to be deplo.’ td.
