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.

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 merce, in judicial life, or in art or science, since the days of Lord Bacon, has proved —namely, that his position was a right one, and his dictum strictly true. — Philadelphia Gazette. 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.

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.

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. —Sermons of Mr. Brown , Pres, of Jeff* College.

They have sold WOO,OOO trees in ten months.—’ That’s a business.— Herald.. • Errors or the Press. —When it If known that from 50 to 100 thousand type# are picked up single and put imtheir prop er places for eaoh day’s paper, it will not appear extraordinary that occasionally a few of them should get wrongly placed, or that in malting up a body containing many small particles, errors will sometime# occur. A few days ago, while the lion. Ricf Garland and G. R. King Esq. were trying a case in the District Court, Opelousas, Mrs K. charged Mr, Garland with falsehood. Mr. G. thereupon struck Mr. K. and floor ed him. The court bound them over to keej) the peace, and there the allair proba’ bly ended.—Louis. Tour. 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.
