CHARLES WEST,Executor. Darien, April 9th, 1839. 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 period which has intervened since their purchase, added to a scarcity of materials, has rendered it dif ficult to improve as extensively ns they desired; yet th y 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 mining strong impregnations of Saltpetre, A/agnesia, &e. t ascertained from n partial analysis. We deem it uumre&sary to append to this notice, a list of cer tificate r Entire to cures effected by using the water as the doubts ofthe sceptical would not be refilled, | and those who woukf nelicve, may credit the asser- ! lion.as such can be proved at any time. Several cases of violent Rheumatism have been enlirely re lieved ; also Tetter, Scaldhead, running Ulcers, Sue. Ind viduals laboring under Dyspepsia, will expe rience great relief from the use of the water. It is known tobe 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 leaf t some of the mineral properties oft he water; and also the nature of some of the diseases which have been cured at this place. We are aware ofthe prejudices generally engendered by vaunting advertisements of like character. The location of the spring in Upson county, is in a healthy region nearly surround and by large hills on the north siaeof th* Pine Mountain. A considera ble quantity of game abounds in the woods adjacent for the and dight of sportsmen; ar.d Flint R ver is suffi ciently contiguous to afford amusement tothe angler. Families desiring it, can find ample seclusion from j dusty streets and miasmatic regions of the lower 1 | counties, at the Thundering Spring,* where no pains will lie spared on the part of the proprietors, to rend ! er their visit s^reeabb*.

The cause of bilious complaint’s AND A MODE OF CURE.—A well regu lated and proportionate quantity of bile upon the stomach is always requisite for the promotion of sound health—it stimulates digestion, and keci s the intestinal canal free from all obstructions. On the ■ interior sm face of the liver is u peculiar bladder, in which the bile is first preserved, being formed by the liver from the blood. Thence it passes into the stom ach and intestines, and regulates the indigestion. Thus we see when there is a dt firiency of bil<*, the body is constantly costive. On the other hand, an overabundance ol bile, causes ‘frequent nausea in the stomach ; and often promotes very severe attacks of disease, which sometimes end in dentil. Fevers always procede by symtoms of a disor dered stomach ; as are also scrofulous disorders, and all symnathetical functional, organic or febrile diseases. From the same cause, the natural and healthy action ot the heart, and the whole vascular system is inquired and redueid below its natural stan dard; as exhibited in palpitations, languid pulse, torpors of the limbs, syncope, and even death itself, in consequence of an overabundance of a peculiar of fensive substance to the digestive organs. The approach of bilious diseases is at all times attended by decided symptoms of an existing disea sed state ofthe s omaeli and bowels; i. e. with those signs which are known to point out their contents tobe of a morbid irritating nature} but whenever tilt? alimentary canal happens to be loaded with irri tating matter, some derangement of the healthy ope ration, either of the general system, or • fsoine partic ular organ of the body is the certain result : and when this state happens to be united with any other symptoms of disease its eilects are always thereby much aggravoti and The progress oforganic obstruc tion is open so rapid as scarely to admit of time for the application of such aid ns is to be offered by art, vet, in general, the premonitory symptoms of gastric load are perceptible for n day or two previous to the feverish paroxism, a period, when the mutt effic cions assistance may he given, by unloading the stomach and alimentary canal of its irritating contents, and thus reducing the susceptibility of disease. MOFFAT’S LIFE MEDICINE S, should always be taken in the early stages of billious complaints; and if persevered in strictly according to the direc tions, will positively effect a cure. The mineral medicines often prescribed in these dis eases, although they may effect a temporary cure, at the. same time create an unhealthy state, of the blood, and consequently tend to promote a return ofthe very disease which they are employed to cure. Ii is then by the. use of purgatives, exclusively formed of vege table compounds, which, possessing within them selves no deleterious agencies, which decomposition, combination, or alteration can develope or bring into action; and therefor* capable of producing no effect, save that which is desired—that a safe rein.-dy is found. A The. LIFE PILLS and PHENIX BITTERS | iiaveproved to be. the most happy in their effects in cuscß of bilious diseases, of anv purely vegetable preparation ever offered to the public. Ifthe stomach | is foul, they cleanse it by exciting it to throw of its’ contents; if not, they pass to the duodenum without exciting vomiting or nausea in the stomach; stimulat ing the neighboring viceru.as the liver and puncrus, so as to produce a more copious flow oftheir secret ions into the intestines; stimulating thccxhalcnt capillar ies, terminating in the inner coat, which an increased ! flow ofthe useless particles ofthe body, foreign mat ters, or retained secretions, are completely discharg- \ b ?- For sale at the DARIEN HE RAJ. 1) OF FIVE.

TETever and A N**c h; a most obstinate disease, -ML and in warm and humid climates, frequently re- I situs every ordiniary mode of cure, so as to become | very distressing to the patient; and by the extreme debility which the disease induces, it often gives rise | to other chronic complaints. Marsh miasmata, or i the effluvia arising from stagnant water, is the most I frequent exciting cause of this disease; arid one of its great peculiarities is its susceptibility of a renew al from very slight causes, such us from the preva lence of an easterly wind—-even without the repeti tion of the original exciting cause. In this, Fever and Ague differs from most ot her fevers; as it is well known, that after an ordinary fever has once occur red and been removed, the person affected is not so liable to a fresh attack as one who was not so affect ed, These circumstances render it extremely difficult to effect a permanent cure of Fever and Ague, though to relieve the patient for the time being is a very easy tusk. MOFFAT’R T ?FE PILLS AND PHENIX BI JPTF.RS have been thoroughly tested, and proved to be a POSITIVE AND RADICAL Cure of Fever oral Ague. Hundreds of iiis fellow-citi zens in the W hi, have voluntarily come forward to assure Mr. MOFFAT that the LIFE MEDICINS aretheonly medicines that will THORCJGHLY ef fect a removal of this most tedious and disagreeable disease. Others who have emigrated to that rich and prom ising portion ofotir country —men who went out full of hope, and con fid ntof winning a competence from the luxuriance of the soil; or who carried to the out posts of our settlements the mercantile or mechanicle experience won in the crowded cities and tov/ns of the old *r states, have either returned with shattered constitutions and and pr<d spirits, or they remain in their new homes, dragging out a weary life ; at last to sink under some disease to which they are predispos'd by that terror of the West, the FEVER AND AGUE. Their hopes are blasted —their busi ness energies destroyed— th°ir El Dorado becomes a desert, and the word of promise, made to the ear, is broken to the hope. To the e Individuals, Mr. Moffat would say — “Try the LIFE MEDICINES, and youwi.l yet an ticipate your most sanguine expectations, for they will certainly restore you to health.” FEVER AND AGUE is a complaint which re quires to be met at its first approach, und combatted atevery stage. Seldom fatal of itself, it reduces the strength, and impares the functions of the organs, so that upon the manifestation of disease Nature is un able, unassisted, to resist the inroade. The Life Medicines, when taken strictly according to direc tions wiil cure iift s and give to the weak and tremb ling victim of disease, new health, Ufa, und strength. For full particulars of the mode of treatment, the reader is referred to the Good Samaritan, a copy of which accompanies the medicine. A copy may lie obtained of the different agents who have the medi cine for safa. French, German, and Spanish directons can be obtained on application at the office, 375 Broadway.

I’ve seen the morning ray, In bright and golden bus Proclaim the coming day, Bathed in the morning dew; But soon the gloomy night came on, And all its golden beams were gone. I’ve seen the stilly fount, Fed by tile vernal rains, Murmuring down the mount, And spreading o'or the plains ; But soon the mid.day summer’s sun Dri'd up the fount—it ceased to run. I’ve seen the starry sky Sparkling in beauty bright— Myriads of gems on high Diffuse their pallid light; But soon the gloomy clouds oVrsprend, And all its cheering beauties lied. I've s ten the blooming flower, Where thousands did abound, Diffuse with magic power Its sweets o’er all around; But soon the mower passed that way; With grass, ho left it to decay. I’ve seen the oak tree spread Its verdant branches wide; And to its cooling shade, The panting cattle hied; But soon the mighty tempest came, And prostrate laid it on the plain. I*o seen the buoyant roe, Along (he verdant brae, Wnere murmuring waters flow, In cheerful gambols play ; The hunter passed—a single gun— And all its gambollings were done. I vcsrcn the mellow (brush, With bright, elastic wing, Flitting fro . bush to bush, And merry sing; But soon the fowler passed t hat way, And all its wurblings ceased to play. I’ve seen the blooming youth, With prospects bright und fair; And hop ’s of life forsooth, B n:uilingevery care; But soon—un warn ‘d —disease came on And loves, hopes, life, and all, were gone. * * * FOR THE DAItIEN HERALD. Home 1 Ever since the formation of society, or since men became endeared to each other by the tender ties of friendship, or the more binding j ones of relationship, to bid the last farewell, j has called forth the sympathy, and awakened j the tender feelings of sorrow in the human J breast. Perhaps it was the fear of final sepa- j ration, that prompted those who dwelt on | Shinar’s plain, to erect Babylon’s huge fabric, whose towering head might penetrate the clouds, and be seen to an almost immeasura ble distance on every side, as a landmark to which they could return at stated periods, to see their friends, which, neither length of time nor distance of place, could efface from their remembrance. In every circumstance of life, we see how man loves and cherishes remem brance of home; and when compelled by stern necessity, to leave his native soil, and hie to di tant shores, he feels as if life itself was not dearer to him than his beloved home. Behold the exile, when forced to leave behind him the land in which every object of his affection re mains. Who can describe the anguish with which his breast is agitated, when about to set foot on the ship that is to waft him to other climes, far distant from lira friends and home, the objects of his warmest love. In the very sound, farewell, there is a secret something that | strikes thesympathetic feelings, andawakesthe softer emotions of the soul, but under circum stances like those, to bid adieu to his beloved friends, the companions of his youth, and pro tectors of his infant years, and be exiled from all that his soul holds dear on earth, is calculated to produce feelings of the deepest anguish. His mind is enshrouded in all the darkness of grief, and nothing can disperse the gloom, but a resto ration of the privileges of the land of his birth. While the ship, with full spreading canvass, sails majestically oat of the port, and all the crew returning home, give signs of joy, he stands upon the deck, and with intensity of grief, listens, while the hoarse rough murmur of the waves that lash the sounding shore, die away upon his ear. He beholds the shore re ceding from his view, then the cottage that skirts the edge of his native town, and last of all, the tall spires lose themselves in the distant horizon, and then farewell, with a deep groan, breaks from his bleeding breast. The curiosi ty, which all display upon their first voyage is destroyed by the power of grief. His attention is not attracted by the wonders of the deep, nor by the recital of the 1 hair breadth escapes” of the mariners. The wonderful appearance of the morning sun, rising from his oozy bed, startles him not from that depth of thought, in which the force of grief has wrapt him. He observes not the beauties of pale Luna, riding in cloudless majesty, shedding abroad her sil very rays, which, reflected by the unruffled surface ofthe wate~y expanse, presents a scene beautiful, and grand beyond the power of de scription. Nature in vain spreads before him all her beauties, and opens these er.char.tiag scenes, which delight, and fill the cheerful mind with pleasure. But all is darknessaud sorrow within, not a ray of hope darts through the dreadful gloom. When, after having passed through the surging billows, he comes in view of a beautiful and luxuriant country, which spreads before him every luxury and blessing of life, yet still he fiade himself a lonely and VOL, 1. NO. 37. disconsolate wanderer. He meets with a peo ple kind and hospitable, willing to confer every kindness upon him, if he but show himself worthy—yet all this, however soothing it may be, drives not away the remembrance of the green fields, the rippling streams and shady grovesof his youthful home. Frequently, in the “feverish dreams” of fancy, he finds him self wafted across the stormy ocean, and plage ed in the circle of his youthful associates, en. joying all the happiness that results from true friendship. His mind freed from those tumuj tuous passions by which it is agitated In hj waking hours, rises on the airy wing of imagination, and revels in all the delightful scenery, which such visions are calculated to produce.—But fancy’s illusive dreams are not long to be enjoyed. “Recollection at hand,*’ soon dissipates the visionary joy, and learns him to mourn the fallacy of these deceptive dreams. He awakes and still finds himself the viciini of misery, without any prospect of an escape from under its pressure. Time, that destroys the proudest monuments of human greatness; and levels all the distinctions of mortals, cannot efface the tender feelings of sorrow from his soul. Although the intensity of his grief may be somewhat allayed, yet still, in the moments of serious reflection, he is forc ed to pay the tribute of a sigh to the “remem brance of happiet days. To him the remem brance of days that are past, is pleasing and melancholy to the soul.” Thus is the life of the exile embittered; when every prospect shone without an intervening cloud to obscure its lustre, when all things appeared favourable to his designs and hopes, he is driven by the hand ofoppression to seek refuge on a foreign shore. There is perhaps no subject, upon which an individual may dwell in a musing mood, with more pleasure than the home of childhood, and recall to tnind the. visions of youth. I have seen the infant sporting around the fireside, the child gamboling upon the green sword in his parent’s door yard, the youth chasing the red deer over the plains and hills of his nativity, and the man laboring in the field once his parent’s. I have seen these, and there was pleasure beaming in the eye of each and hap piness seemed to sparkle around their brow. 1 have seen the wanderer without a home no mother, no father, brother, sister, or friend, I have seen him die and as he pronounced his last sad farewell to those around him, I have heard him say:—“once I had a home and friends now I have neither: —but 1 am going to my long, long home, and there I shall meej those I love.” Such is reality and were you to tell the child or the youth, that the timp would arrive when he would weep over depar ted friends, and seek hi vain a home, that the time would come when he would have no mother to soothe the furrows of his cheek, no sister to greet him with her smiles, and he would turn from the subject as though it were impossible. But such, I say is reality, such are the changing scenes of life. It was a cold evening in December—the wind blew fiercely, and rattled thesieet against the windows, as I sat by a blazing fire” hun dreds of miles from home, and at a distance from any friend. As thus J sut musing I fell into a deep revery, and various were the vis ions that flitted before me. I saw an aged man, tottering before me, and tears gushing from his dimmed eyes. I was gazing on him in astonishment, wondering at his grief—when a fair form stood by my side, and thus addressed me:—“Friend, do you sec that aged man, and lhe tears that are gushing from his cheek? Once lie was as gay and as hnppv as yourself!” But Care and sorrow have frosted his head and his cheek. That beautiful little cot tage, by the side of which lie stands, was once his home, but yesterday it passed uudei the hammer of the auctioneer, and he was compel led to leave it. Beneath the little bower in front of the cottage, lies his wife, and only son. He is the remnant of a once numerous and respectable family. All have passed away— and he has been driven by a savage creditor, to wander friendless, and pennyless, among the cold unfeeling, inhabitants of this world. Could you read his thoughts, what a vast num ber of scenes and objects are flitting before him. Look at him, about leaving, and perhaps for ever, the place of his nativity—the pleasant re sidence he has called his home for years. I say could you read his thoughts—you would behold the many fond recollections—the hours of gloom and sorrow, and the years of bliss and happiness that flit like a vision before him, and would fain induce him to stay —to linger yet a little while upon this beloved spot. He looks as through a cloud to gaze on the fair moon, and beholds himself in childhood—beholds himself in those years when his imagination was chained, when it was limited—and he scarce looked beyond the sitting of the Sun in point of time, and not beyond his fond parent’s door yard in relation to the immensity of dis tance, —the unfounded extensions of the Globe, —and but to the very moment he enjoys, as to futurity. H:; parents -h:s only scarce of happiness, end his toys, the di-rites of life- From this period you may trace his thoughts through, every change that has taken place in his existence. You can see him sporting on the green, with his companions,—jerking the speckled trout, from the mountain stream, trudging to school with his book under bis arm, chasing the bulterflifes, as they flit acres his path—pouring over hie studies :-schoc,, with hisbelovstj leaning upon bit aria. wrr>
