which took place according to previous advertise

THE CATAWBA SFRINGS.
fllllE Proprietor of this establishment gives notice, that
-I- he is repairing and lilting it up at considerable ex
pense, ami in a superior style, and will have il ready for
the reception of company by the 2fttb ol May. It is situ
ated on the great Eastern and Western line of Stages, from
Salisbury via Lincoliilon to Asbville, itc.; (a stage passing
iVre every day in tlie week but one.) The country around
t» broken mid proverbially healthy, and besides tlie mineral
properties of the waters, there are. many inducements to
lorn the attention of invalids and others towards this place.
Its proximity to the lower country—the cheapness of living
—the excellence of t he neighboring society—the abundance
of game—the rich field afforded to science—especially to
Mineralogy and Botany, arc facts not to be overlooked by
■ lie travelling world. But it is in the Mineral qualities ol
tin* Springs that the great attraction towards this spot con
sists. The proprietor has no exaggerated list of cures to
present to the public, for he lists j**-* taken possession, nor
would lie deem it a compliment either to the good taste or
Mfacitv of the public, to present such it lie (tad them.
But |,e has the assurance of some of the most scientific
physicians anil chemists, to the rare ami valuable piopcr-
sin of these Springs, lit 1824 Briif'essur Olmsted (now
of Ys.lc College) made a strict analysis «l this water, and
pronounces its foreign ingredients to lie Ssglphr,fretted Hy
drogen, Sulphate of Lime, Sulphate ol Magnesia, Muriate
of Lime.
For a more extended statement, see his Geological Re
port of North Carolina, authorized by net of Assembly,
pup s 129-38. Space will not permit us to add the very
flattering remarks of ibis gentleman—but any one at all
to ipuinted with the subject cannot help perceiving the
peculiar adaptation of tlte.se minerals, to the disorders that
mint prevail in the South.
The proprietor call only superadd Ik* determination to
merit patronage bv an unflinching attention to the wants,
"i-ites and comforts of hi* visiters. 1 he Springs are now,
.md will he throughout the year, open for the accommoda
tion of travellers. JUS. 13. HAMnoS.

MANSION HOUSE, GAINESVIELE, GA.
rrtHIS comfortable establishment is re-opened by its
A former proprietor, and will lie in a state of
readiness for die reception of families arid other persons
by the middle of May, The proprietor lias gone to great
expense in enlarging and refitting the whole establishment
inside and out, all of which will be neat,clean and comforta
ble. The stables and Carriage Houses are extensive, nnd
in nil respects well suited to tlie purposes for which they are
designed. In short the proprietor thinks he will hazard
nothing in pledging that this establishment in the general,
shall he inferior to none in the Southern States, whatever
comforts that can lie in any way commanded from the re
sources of the surrounding country, will be afforded to his
guests in a manner he trusts, that will be entirely to their
satisfaction. The establishment will be enlarged the pre
sent season, to upwards of thirty rooms—and charges
the same as at the other public houses in the Village.
The proprietor flatters himself, that be is too well known
to the public to render it. necessary for him to offer to them
testimonials of bis abilities or desire, to render those who
favor hint with their company, in all respects easy and com
fortable. His pride nnd interest are both at slake in sus
taining the lieautiful Village of Gainesville—which presents
as ninny advantages as a summer retreat, as any other
spot North or South. If therefore a liberal Southern pub
lic, will afford a sufficient patronage to justify the develope-
mont and concentration of the various resources of the
surrounding country, so as to Bring them into action for
their comfort and convenience, they may be assured that
the means thus afforded the proprietor of this establish
ment, sbnllhe liberally applied toils improvement,nnd the
proeureinant of every comfort they can require, until it
shall lose nothing by comparison w ith any other of the kind
North, South, East or West—with out a liberal patronage
however, it is evident public expectation cannot be met.
If the advantages of an unexceptionable climate, superi
or water, with several medicinal springs, (one of which is
acknowledged by the most competent judges to be excell
ed by none in the Southern States) fine roads in every di
rection and good society, are inducements sufficient to jus
tify the reasonable expectation, that a liberal and intelli
gent public will give to their home institutions the prefer
ence over foreign ones—then the proprietor feels confident
that this appeal will not be made in vain.

,'Y the 25th of March last; he also carried off one of ray
in-si mules. He was principally raised in Putnam county,
near to Stauforih ille, (better known ;ts the Half Acre.) It
is supposed that Alfred will try to get to York district, S.
C. as his mothei lives in that district. 1 have no doubt
but he will try to pass as^a white man, but a iittle scrutiny
will make plain that he i* a negro. Alfred is a very bright

stout made, and has some freckles on his face- Any per

A PAGE FROM THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE.
“ Most merciful!
Will man** bard heart be uever touched with all,
Th’ overflowings of thv love, and yield itself
To the gentle sympathies, till he shall learn
The noble joy of pouring happiness
Upon the heart of sorrow, and how sweet
The pleasure is of shedding bliss abroad!”
“ Ugh! ugh!” coughed I, as I buttoned my
surtout closer about me, and drew down my
chin into its ample fur collar; “God pity
those who have no shelter for their heads to
night!”
“ God pity them indeed!” answered a voice
close to my ear; “for small is the pity shown
to the houseless man.”
I turned my head. A miserable, half-clad,
shivering wretch stood at my side. His hat
was slouched partly over his eyes, but not suffi
ciently to hide a face on which the traces of
loathsome intemperance and debauchery were
distinctly visible. His fragment of a coat was
buttoned as closely around him as its scattered
buttons would admit, but not closely enough
to conceal the want of vest and shirt beneath.
Sad rents in his nether garments told too
plainly that their days had not been few nor
exempt from evil; and his feet were scarcely
protected from the frozen ground by a pair of
tattered shoes. Such a picture of extreme
loathsomeness and misery I had never seen:
and half involuntarily I thrust my hand into my
pocket with the intention of contributing a few
pence to his immediate relief. “ But he is in
temperate,” 6aid l to myself; and the small
change which I had grasped was dropped.
“ He may perish with cold,” whispered my
better nature ; and my fingers again clutched
the coin. “ He will spend it for grog,” inter
posed my wordly prudence—and I drew my
hand empty from my pocket.
It was a bitter cold evening in the middle of
December. The mercury in the thermometer
stood at zero, and the white frost was glitter
ing in the clear star light, like countless crys
tals, whose minuteness impaired not their
wonderful brilliancy. There was no breath of
wind abroad, but the whole atmosphere was
filled with infinite small particles of ice, which
pierced the skin with their sharp points, like
the invisible spears of a troop of fairies. Ar
rayed as I was from head to foot in flannel and
fur and broadcloth, with all the paraphernalia
which an old bachelor deems necessary to ena
ble him to resist the cold, I yet felt as if my
blood was curdling in my veins, and my whole
man becoming a pillar of ice in the potent
presence of “Old King Frost.” Business of
an imperative nature had called me, late in
the afternoon, into the suburbs of the city—
and now, my task accomplished, picturing to
mvself the glowing grate and hot toast which
awaited my return, I was making all con
venient haste for home, when my reverie was
interrupted by a fit of coughing, and the inter
ruption continued by the exclamation of the
stranger. Now I had always prided myself
upon my charities to the poor—the deserving
poor—and when widow Johnson’s house was
consumed with fire, all her property and her
little daughter with it, I headed a subscription
paper for her benefit with the exceedingly
generous sum of five dollats, which I paid in
presence of half the town, who had assembled
at the bar-room of the village inn to talk over
the catastrophe, after they had stood to see the
house consumed, and had labored with great
zeal to quench the burning chimney after the
roof and walls liad fallen in.
When Philip Brown lost his cow by a stroke
of lightning, I contributed fifty cents to assist
him in the purchase of another, although in
this case I had some qualms of conscience,
arising from the manner in which he had been
reft of his property. Many a time and oft
have I forked out a fo’-pence-ha’-penny for the
relief of suffering merit and had thus in the
process of time come to the comfortable con
clusion that I was a particularly charitable
man, in which opinion sundry of my neighbors
had very candidly told me they fully coincided
but here was a new case, evidently differing
from any I had ever relieved. I had always
felt for the suffering, but it was for the suffer
ing of the meritorious. I was ever ready to
relieve poverty, but rt was the poverty of the
virtuous. Here loathsome vice was clearly
the parent of misery.—“ He has brought it
upon himself,” ejaculated I; his suffering is
not occasioned by the visitation of God. He
has sown the wind—let him reap the whirl
wind!” The visitation of God ! Alas! what
more awful visitation can there" be from Him
than to leave the vicious in their vice ! This
is judgment more terrible far than earthquake
or pestilence. From such a doew*y good LevcT
deliver us!
1 turned upon my heel from the wretched
object before me. “ Poor devil!” I ejaculat
ed ; “ he will suffer, but who is to blame 1”
And thus choking down an accusing con
science, I strode away. But his voice still
sounded reproachfully in my ear like a haunt
ing tone, and I was but ill satisfied that 1 had not
at least inquired into his necessities. He had
not asked me for charity, it was true ; hut did
not his miserable appearance plead for him
more eloqueutly than words 1 He might be
too proud to ask, or he might despair of re
ceiving, thought I—at all events, it would have
beeir well ewougfi to have said' a word to him
about his wicked courses, even if it were not
right to give him money, lhesitated. I turn
ed round. Standing in the place wliere I had
left bin*, I saw the miserable man. His hands
were clasped, and his face upturned towards
heaven; awdtI even fancied I could hear the
words of prayer from his lips. “ Such a wick
ed man pray !” thought I. Partly from curi-
ositv and partly from benevolent feeling I turn
ed; back.
“ Why do you stand here 1” inquired, I as
approached him. “ You will perish in the
cohl.”
4 Very likely,” 1 was the quiet reply.
“ Why don’t you go home V’ 1 asked,
really touched with the forlornness of liis sit
uation.
“ I have no home.”
“ Then go to your friendfe,” I rejoined.
“ I have no* friends.”
“ Have you no acquaintances, then, who will
relieve you 1”
“ Yes the dram seller—when 1 hare mo
ney.”
“ Have yoo no money I
“ Not a farthing.” >>t
“ You are a miserable vagabond then-
“ I know it.” M
“ You arc a loathsome drunkard.
“ Very true-” .*
“ Do you not know to what these evif
courses will lead!” continued I, putting on a
V r
self righteous air, and looking, as I flattered
myself, peculiarly solemn.
“ Yes—to hell /” was the fearfully emphat
ic and startling response.
For ^moment I was silent. The exclama
tion had pierced my heart like steel, and a
feeling of mingled compunction and compas
sion thrilled suddenly through my soul. “ I
pity you,” at length I resumed, “ God knows
how I pity you; and did I not look upon you as
an incorrigible sot, I would do something for
your relief.”
“ Vice is more an object of compassion than
mere poverty,” was the reply, “ and in me both
are united.
“ I give freely to the virtuous,” resumed I,
in a renewed fit of self-righteousness, “ but I
am principled against bestowing alms upon the
vicious.”
I have not asked alms,” was the cool re
sponse, “ nor a sermon.”
“ True—but you need both, and were you
not a drunkard I would bestow them.”
“ He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and
on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and
unjust,” replied the man, while a glow, which
might have been of gratitude or devotion,
flashed suddenly over his face. There was
something in his tone that went to my heart.—
I felt the reproof—and had he at that moment
seen my face, he would have observed tlie
blush that I felt was reddening my cheek.
“True,” said I, musingly, talking to myself
rather than to him.
Oh! the difference between the benevolence
of man and the benevolence of God! One
is partial in its operation and exclusive in its
character—the other embraces a universe
within its arms! As such thoughts passed ra
pidly through my mind, my determination wa3
taken. My heart grew tender as a child’s.—
The voice of inspiration spoke to my quick
ened soul, and its language was, “Blessed are
the merciful, for they si tall obtain mercy.”—
God forgive the self-righteous spirit in which
I indulged hut a moment before. “ Come
with me, and I will be your friend,” said I
looking into his bloated face and actually ta
king his skinny hand into my own.
Oh! the luxury of tfieing good! It is the
opening of a new world to the spiritual eye !—
it is the baptism of love to the religious heart!
How beautifully true is the sentiment of Holy
Writ—“lets'more blessed to give than to re
ceive !”
That loathsome and degraded man went
with me home. I ministered to his necessi
ties—I watched over him in sickness, bearing
patiently the self-imposed toll, and leading
him, step by step, from debasement and dis
ease into the pleasant paths of sobriety and
health. This was thtr first time in which the
meek spirit of religion had presided over and
guided my once ostentatious charity. And
great iudeed was my reward"!* A noble spirit
was saved from the fearful death and still
more fearful doom of th# drunkard, and called
back, by the voice of kindness, from the track
of Sin to that true Wisdom whose ways are
ways of pleasantness and all whose paths are
peace. A new man, he went from under my
humble roof, and mingled again with the
world. But remembering the whirlpool which
had well nigh drawn him info ks vortex, he
has shunned it with tireless care. Resisting
the blandishment that would lure him to his
ruin, he has walked with unfettered step in
the thornless track of virtue, growing strong
of heart and preserving before the world an
integrity unspotted and pure. I saw him yes
terday with the glow of health upon bi« cheek,
treading with the step of undegradfed man
hood among his fellow men, surrounded by an
atmosphere of love—honored, useful and hap
py. And this, 6aid 1, is my reward. With
a light step and lighter heart I went to my
own quiet home, while a 4 still small voice’
seemed whispering in my ear, 44 He who con
verted the sinner from the error of his way,
shall save a soul from death and shall hide a
multitude of sins.”
“ Is he Rich V*—Many a sigh is heaved,
many a heart is broken, many a life is render
ed miserable by the terrible infatuation which
parents often manifest in choosing a life com
panion for their daughters. How is it possible
for happiness to result from the union of two
principles so diametrically opposed to each
other in every point as virtue is to vice!
And yet how often is wealth considered a bet
ter recommendation to a yonug man than vir
tue. How often is the first question which is
asked respecting the suitor of a daughter,
this : Is he rich?—hhe rich ? Yes, he abounds
in wealth ; hut does that afford any evidence
that he will make a kind and affectionate hus
band ? Is he rich l Yes! “his cloathing is
purple and fine linen, and he fares sumptuously
every daycan you infer from this lie is vir-
tuoas? Is he rich? Ycs, he has thousands
floating on every ocean; but do not riches
sometimes 44 take to themselves wings and fly
away V r amf will yo<* consent that your daugh
ter shall marry a man that has nothing to re
commend him hut firs wealth ? Ah, beware,
the gilded bait sometimes covers a barbed hook.
Ask not then is he rich? bn* is lie virtuous ?
Ask not then if her has wealth, but if he has
honor; and do not sacrifice" your daughter’s
peace for money. Do not choose a swine for
her husband, because he has a golden- trough.
Let virtue's form be indelibly stamped on the
forehead of him who asks your daughter’s
hand in marriage ; and' if it is not, do not fear
to let him hear-—and that toe* with emphasis
—the little monosyllable, No f even though
he should be rich as Crcesusi and depend up
on it, your firmness will be rewarded by an
amount of happiness far greater than ever
flowed from wealth when unaccompanied by
virtue.
Irish Driving.'—V'arious are the anecdotes
on record of the humor of Irish post-boys,
but we question if any of them are more char
acteristic than- the following incident. While
in Ireland, last summer, two gentlemen hired
a car from Belfast to go by the liill-road. A
little after they had reached the rising ground,
and while absorbed in admiration of the ex
tensive and picturesque scenery, they scarcely
perceived that the driver had pulled up the
horse, till he came round and opened the car
door, and immediately shut it with a bang,
bawling out at the same time— 44 Now get
along, Paddly..”’ On being asked, in rather a
surly tone-, the meaning of his conduct, he
held up his hands as if to command silence,
and repeating, in a half whisper, 44 Hold yer
tongues, yer honors ; 1 ’m making Paddy be-
lave that yon ’re out, and walking up the hill,
for the devil a foot he’d go farther this bles
sed dav, did he know that yer hono:s were
sitting at yer aise, an’ himself pullinf the leg3
off ov biro-up this cruel hiEhere.”'
Female Influence.—It has been asserted
by a great French writer that women form the
character of a nation. Napoleon said the mo
ther formed the man. If this lie true, the im
portance of early female culture is too obvi
ous to need pointing out to the most superficial
observer of national character.—It has been
conceded on all sides, that nearly all the emi
nent men, eminent either for good or evE, have
had mothers to whose training they owe that
eminence. The mother of Washington is a
brilliant modern example of maternal influence,
wisely and judiciously exerted, producing th®
most glorious result. She pointed the son to a
high aim; she taught him that virtue and great
ness are synonymous; that moral courage is the
soul of physical bravery; that dissimulation
and falsehood are incompatible with true great
ness. She had her reward; for her son stand*
recorded on the historian’s page preeminently
good as gieat. In reading his life, the hero,
the warrior the statesman and the philosopher,
are all combined in the good man we love.
The mothers of several of tlie Roman Em
perors we are told, exercised unbounded influ
ence over their sons ; but they were general
ly vicious women, and accordingly, their sons
were great only in infamy. Others were good
so far as the glimmerings of natural virtue
could breakr through the pagan gloom of the
age in which they lived, and they iaught their
offspring to wade to empire through seas of
blood, content with the result without regard
ing the means by which it was accomplished;
means which generally originated in treason
and perfidy. It was reserved for an Ameri
can Christian mother to form a head for a great
nation, the lustre of whose name will live so
long as our Republican States exist, a broad
shrine for the worship of freedom. If then
the greatest as well as the brightest example
of woman’s forming influence existed with os;
in our own happy land, why is not the cultiva
tion of that power as highly esteemed as it
should be by our otvn fair country-women ? la
no country, perhaps in the world, where Chris
tianity is taught, is woman so little sensible of
her vast powers and influence as in the Ame
rican States. The reason of this is obviously
because women here are domestic in theirhab-
its beyond those of other countries, and do not
mingle in public assemblages. At the fire side
is the stronghold of her power—there is that
influence diffused and felt, while she who,
exercises it, is totally unconscious of the great
(momentum, towards good or evil, she is giving
the growing characters around her. Could
they know that upon them devolved the re
sponsibility of making men virtuous or other
wise,, how lightly would they deem mere ex
ternal decoration, that only catches the eye
and imagination of the other sex, in comparis
on to the cultivation of mind, that controls and
influences them. It lias been said by an emi
nent author, that the color of a nation’s morals
is imbibed from it3 women. If this be the
case, Americans should be less corrupt than
all nations, for certainly their women are as
yet, more modest and religious than those of
any other country. Among us, the marriage
tie haseveT been regarded sacred, and society
sternly frowns down its violator.
In other countries some females, with the
daring ambition that characterizes strong in
tellects, when combined with undisciplined
passions, have avowed themselves infidels, ami
striven to shine as stars in the hemisphere, of
metaphysical philosophy; hut where in all
America, with an extraordinary exception,
can the traveller point to an atheist woman ]
and that exception has sunk too low even to>
attract the finger of scorn.—Mrs. P. 1l r . Pall.
Genuine and True.—A young man wl o>
boarded at a house in the country, where wer®
several coy damsels, was o» one afternoon
accosted by an acquaintance, and asked what
he thought of tire vowng ladies. He replied
they were very sliy and reserved,
“So they are,” returned the other, “ and so
much so, that iro> gerttSerntan could get near
enough to tell the color of their eyes.”
“That may l>e,” said the boarder quickly,
44 yet I will stake a million thatt I can kiss them
all three without any trouble,
44 That you cannot do,” cried his friend.
44 It is an achievement which neither you nor
any other man can accomplish.”
'1 lie other was positive, and invited his
friend to the house to witness his triumph.
They entered the room together, and the lin e®
girls were all at home sitting beside tbeir mo
ther, and they all looked as prim as possible,
and almost as sepulchral as AI r. Toucey, lec
turing on a duel.
Our hero assumed a very grave aspect, eveq
to dejection—and having looked wistfully at
the clock, breathed a sigh a* deep as algebra,
and as long as a female dialogue at the street
door. His singular deportment now attracted
the attention of the girls, who cast their slow
opening eyes upward to his countenance;
Perceiving the impression he had made he
turned to his companion ami said in a doleful
voice—it wants three minutes of the fmie.
44 Do youspeak of dinner?” saidthe old lady
putting down her sewing work.
“Dinner?” said he with a bewildered as
pect, and pointing as if unconsciously, with
curled forefinger at the clock.
A silence ensued, during which the female’
part of the household glared at tlie young man
with irrepressible curiosity.
44 You will see me decently buried,” said he,
turning again to his friend.
His friend was as much puzzled as any body
present, and bis embarrassment added to the
intended effect. But the old lady being ncr
longer able to contain herself, cried—
“ Mr. C , pray what do you speak of ?”
44 Nothing,” answered he with a lugubrious
tone— 44 but that last uiglit a spirit appeared
to me,” here the gills arose to their feet and
drew near— 44 and the spirit gave me warning
that I should die at exactly twelve o’clock t®
day, and you see it wants but half a minufe of
the time!”
The girls turned pale, and fheir hidden
sympathies were at once awakened for the
doomed and departing one. They stood
chained to tlie spot, looking alternately at the
chick and the unfortunate youth; he then
walked up to the eldest of the girls, and taking
het by tlie hand, bade her a solemn farewell.
He also imprinted a kiss upon her trembling
lips, which she did not attempt to resist.
He bade the second and third farewell in*
the same tender and affectionate manner. His
object was achieved, and at that moment the-
clock struck twelve. Hereupon he looked
around surprised, and ejaculated, “ who would
have believed that an apparition could tell such*
a lie.”
It was sometime before the sober maiden®
understood the joke, and when they did, they
evinced no resentment.
