“Pray, what do they do at the Springs!?”
The question is easy to ask ;
But, to answer it fully, niv dear,
Were rather a serious task.
And yet, iu a bantering way,
As the magpie or mocking bird sings,
I’ll venture a bit of a song
T o tell what they do at the Springs?
Imprimis , my darling, they drink
The waters so sparkling and clear ;
Though the flavor is none of the best,
And the odor exceedingly queer ;
But the fluid is mingled, you know,
With wholesome medicinal things,
So they drink, and they drink, and they drink, —
And that’s wha they do at the Springs!
Then with appetites keen as a knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dine ;
(The latter precisely at three ;
The former from seven till nine.)
Ye Gods! —what a rustle and rush
When the eloquent dinner-bell rings I
Then they eat, and they eat, and they eat, —
And that’s what they do at the Springs !
Now they stroll iu the beautiful walks,
Or 101 l in the shade of the trees;
Where many a whisper is heard
That never is told by the breeze ;
And bauds are commingled with hands,
Regardless of conjugal rings;
And they flirt, and they flat, und they flirt, —
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
The drawing rooms now are ablaze,
And music is shrieking away ;
Terpsichore governs the hour,
And Fashion was never so gay !
An arm ’round a tapering waist—
How closely and fondly it clings :
So they waltz, and they waltz, and they waltz, —
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
In short, as it goes in the world—
They eat, and they drink, and they sleep;
They talk, and they walk, and they woo;
They sigh, and they laugh, and they weep;
They read, and they ride, and they dance;
(With other unspeakable things;)
They pray, and they play, and they pay , —
And that’s what they do at the Springs!
From the True Delta.
Fantasy.
I sit where roses bloom,
Whore roses bloom and shine
Like crystal goblets rare
llrimm’d with nectarous wine.
I sit where twilight falls,
Through fiberous vines and leaves,
All vinous with the golden air
That ever so faintly breaths.
My bower is green and gold,
Fram’d of the colors bright,
Os the earth’s diviuest hue
And the sunset’s ebbing light.
I watch, I wait for her ;
Ah! would that she were mine.
Her form’s not earth, but air—
Not human but divine.
Her classic face, so grandly pure,
No marble gem of ancient art
Could boast a look so chastely sweet,
Did it but feel a pulsing heart.
Her breast of fire, her brow of snow,
Full glooming with seraphic gleams—
Ah, sec she comes through golden gloom,
Her deep eyes drooped in azure dreams!
She comes, and haunting shadows flee,
And Hope springs up, a winged god,
To kiss those eyelida slumbrous, dim,
Then faint upon the dewy sod.
No more I dream, for whilst joy
Hath flushed my cheeks and temples bare,
I listen to the listening wind,
That waits her presence coming there.

BY S. Q. LAPIL'S, M. D.
You say that all is over now,
Oh ! tell this not to me,
Though I’ve a wild untutored heart
May it not throb for thee ?
I’d rather catch thy lightest sigh,
And know that it was breathed for me
Than at my feet, as mine, see lie,
The fruits of every Eastern tree.
I’d lather wear the chains of love,
That you have forged for me ;
Than wear a regal monarch’s crown
Were it not shared by thee.
I’d rather in a desert dwell,
With none to love but thee,
Than boast the gold of India’s mine 9 ;
The gem of every sea.
I’d rather bear the pains and ills,
And all the anguish mortals know ;
Than hear again your plaintive song—
Your piteous talc of woe.
Macon, Sept. 4th, 1860.
Syria.
The following extract from a biographical sketch
of Gen. Cass, published in 1866, may not be inte
resting at the present moment, when lamentable
events in Syria are occupying the attention of
Christendom :
“ lie (Gen. Cass) had taken the precaution, be
fore leaving Sidon, to transmit, by a messenger,
his card and letter, stating his desire to have au
interview with her ladyship, (Lady Hester Stan
hope.) lie had understood, wheu in Damascus,
from the French Consul, who had been for some
years her physician, that she was not always acces
sible, and was advised to give her previous notice
of the visit. Wheu he reached her house tien.
Cass found that she had not risen, for among her
peculiar habits was one, it scents, which converted
day into night. She had, however, it appeared,
given orders for his hospitible reception and an in
vitation to dine at three o’clock in the afternoon,
when she would receive him. As he wished to
visit the Emir Besheir, the Prince of the Druses,
who was about seven hours’ ride beyond, in the
midst of the Itidges of Lebanon, Gen. Cass excused
himself to her ladyship for not waiting, promising
to make his visit to the Emir that evening, and to
return, so as to present himself there again by
noon of the next day. To this arrangement she
assented, and he continued on his journey without
then seeing her. The same uninviting country
met his view until he crossed some steep, rocky
ridges, and struck a pretty stream, which discharg
ed itself into the Mediterranean, between Sidon and
Beyrout. It was the one in which the Emperor
Barbarossa was drowned while engaged in a cru
sade. lie travelled up this stream to its source,
and after dark reached the residence of the Emir,
’ one of the most romantic spots he bad seen. The
Druses—a singular people—occupied these moun
tains. They have preserved a speoies of indepen
dence, and were governed by their own princes—
He was received and treated with true Arab hospi
tality. The palace was by far the most magnificent
building in Syria, and more than four times the
size of the Presidents house. Gen. Cass under
stood that the Emir kept a thousand servants ; and
during this day’s journey he saw, for the first time,
those horns alluded to in the Scriptures which are
worn by the women. They were at least fifteen
inches long, and rise over the forehead covered by
a veil, and most uncouth looking objects they were.
He was back to Lady Stanhope’s by the hour indi
cated the next day, and was introduced into her
private apartment. He found her sitting, dressed
like an Arab, clothed in a robe, with a turban up
on her head and smoking a long pipe. She was
tall and square, with a wan and sickly complexion,
and apparently about sixty-five years of age.—
There was a settled melancholy, which, added to
the interest of her a|>pearance and the recollection
of what she had been contrasted with what she
was, produced a powerful impression upon her vis
iter. Engaged in early life to Sir John Moore, he
looked for those traits which might be supposed to
haye attaauted lids great captain. But the remains
wcpe not to be found.”
rise Fall of Table Rork-By the LastHlau
• who stood ou it.
George Wilkes writes this week from Niagara
to his Spirit:
I said I had something to do with the falling of
the Table Rock, that broad shell on the Canadian
side, which, in 1850 jutted over the very caldron
of the seething waters, but which tumbled into it
ou a certain day ia the month of June of that, by
me, well remembered year. About noon, on that
day, I accompanied a lady from the Clifton House
to the Falls. Arriving at Table Rock, we left our
carriage, and as we approached the projecting
platform I pointed out to mv companion a vast
crack or fissure which traversed the entire base of
the rock, remarking that it looked wider than it
had ever before appeared to me. The lady almost
shuddered as she looked at it, and shrinking back,
declared that she did not care about going to the
edge.
“ Ah,” said I, taking her hand, * 4 you might as
well come on, now that you are here. I hardly
think the rock will take a notion to fall merely be
cause we are on it.”
The platform jutted from the mainland some 60
feet, but to give the visitor still more fearful pro
jection over the ragjng waters, a wooden bridge,
or staging, had been thrust beyond the extreme
edge for some ten feet. This terminated in a
small box for visitors to stand in, and was kept in
its posilioa and enabled to bear weight by a pon
drous load of stones heaped upon its inner end.—
The day was very blight and hot, and it being al
most lunch time at the hotels, but few visitors
were out, so we occupied the dizzy perch alone.—
We gazed fearfully out upon the awful waters, we
stretched our heads timidly over the frightful depth
below, and we felt our natures quailed in every fi
bre by the deafening roar that seemed to saturate
us, as it were, with an indefinable dread.
“ This is a terrible place,” said I. “ Look under
there, aud see on what a mere shell we stand !
For years and years the teeth of the torrent, in
that jetting, angry stream have been gnawing out
that hollow, and some day this plane must fall!”
My companion shuddered, and drew herself to
gether in alarm. Our eyes swept the roaring cir
cle of the waters once again ; we gazed about in
fearful fascination, when suddenly turning our looks
upon each other, reconized a corresponding fear.
“I do not like this place !” exclaimed I, quickly.
“The whole base of this rock is probably disinte
grated and perhaps sits poised in a succession of
steps or notches, ready to fall out and topple down
at any unusual perturbation. That fissure there
seems to me to be more than usually wide to-day!
I think we had better leave, for I do not fancy such
a finish ; and besides my paper must be published
next week.”
With these very words—the latter uttered half
jocosely, though not without alarm—l seized my
companion’s hand, and, iu absolute panic, we fled
as fast as our feet could carry us, toward what
might bo called shore. We burst into a laugh
when we regained the land, and jumping into our
carriage, felt actually as if we had made a fortu
nate escape. We rolled back to the Clifton, but
before we had proceeded two minutes on our way,
a thuudering report, like the explosiou or an earth
quake, burst upon us, and with a long roar, the
ground trembled beneath our wheels. We turned
to find that the table rock had fallen. We were
the last upon it, and it was, doubtless, the unusual
perturbation caused by our flying footsteps that
disturbed the exactitude of its equilibrium, and
thrilled it from its final poise. In a minute more
the road was filled with hurrying people, and du
ring the following half hour, we were told a hun
dred times in advace of the morning journals, that
a lady and gentleman who were on Table Rock,
had gone down the falls. We are told that the
trot of a dog would shake old London Bridge from
end to end, when it wouhi not be disturbed by the
rolling of heavy loaded wagons. Table Rock had
probably not been run upon in the way described
for years—perhaps never ; and, therefore, when
ever I hear it spoken of I always shudder and feel
as if I had bad something to do with its fall.
The Toughest of Turkeys— The Effect of Blood
Pills.—-Cuff was a gentleman’s gentleman down in
old Virginia, and a darkey of most undoubted
honesty aud truth; but he would sometimes tell
tough stories. He met “ Kurnel Johnsing’s nigg,”
a9 he called him, the other day, and after cussing
and discussing various matters appertaining to
their masters, they fell into the following conver
sation :
Sam—Well, Cuff, how you was?
Cuff—O, I isn’t no wusa.
Sam—How is all de folks down at de bouse?
Cuff-—O, dey is able to be round, ’cept de ole
man’s darter; she had the doctor the other day.—
lie came in, looked at her, kept lookin’ at her;
said she was bilyous, and guv her a box of Dr. Ro
back’s Scandinavian blood pills. Wheu de doctor
go, she up an’ threw de pills out de window. She
wouldn’t take no pills, no salt ! Wal, de ole tur
keycock cum, an’—greedy kus—he gobbled down
de pills, box an’all, wid de whole directions.
Next day we had company, an’ had to kill dat
turkeycock, yer see. Brought him ou de table,
biled wid ister sass ; massa flourish his knife and
try to cut him up; couldn’t get de knife into him.
“Cuff,” says he, “ how long did yer bile dis tur
key?”
“ Bile him an hour, sah.”
“ Take him away and bile him another hour.”
So I took him away an’ biled him another hour.
Sam—Did de company wait ?
Cuff—o, yas, de company waited. Wal, I
brought de turkey in, an’ massa flourish his big
knife agin an’ try to cut him ; but he couldn’t do
it, no sah !
“ Take him away an’ bile him another hour.”
So I take him down into de kitchen agin.
Sam—Did de company wait?
Cuff—Of course dey waited. I brought in de
turkey agin, an’ massa try to cut. But it was no
go ; massa git mad.
“ Take him away an’ bile him a week. 11
So I took him away an’ biled him a week.
Sam— Did the company wait?
Cuff—O, yas, de company waited—bound to see
de fun out, yer know. Wal, in a week I brought
in dat turkey. Massa thought he got him dis time
sure ; but be couldn’t cut a hole in him ; de ole
cock wouldn’t bo cut. Massa send for de doctor,
to hab de turkey examined. De doctor came,
look at de turkey—look all over him. Says he,
“ It’s no use ; you can’t bile dis turkey, for he
has taken a box of dese Scandinavian blood pills,
an’ dere isn't any bile in him.”
Vetting In Wheat in Wisconsin.
A gentleman of this city, a few weeks ago went
out into Walworth county to transact some buis
ness. At that time the country was absorbed en
tirely in the securing of the harvest, and the gen
tleman had & great deal of trouble in finding any
body “to home. 4 * We will let him tell his own
story :
I stopped at the house of my friend B , and
knocked all the skin oft’ my knuckles at his front
door, but could not start any body, but just as I
was going away, a passer by in answering to my
inquiry, said that “ B was getting in his wheat.”
I then went over into another part of the town, to
where an old school-mate, Squire R , resided.
I walked in at the open door, sat down in the par
lor a few miuutes, and no one appearing, I walked
up stair* and down stairs, but could’nt find a soul.
When I got around on the porch again, the same
fellow came along who had answered my question
before, and I hailed him:
“ Is the Squire in town ?”
“ Getting in his wheat, I reckon.”
“ Well, where is his lady ?”
44 She’s helping the Squire.”
“And the young ladies?”
“ Getting in his wheat stranger—you’ll find ’em
all down in the field ; about a mile from here.”
I then concluded I would try the hotel, and car
ried mv carpet bag back to the public bouse.—
There was a uotice on the door saying that the house
was closed tor a week, as the proprietor was get
ting in his wheat. Things began to look desperate
now. I bad carried my carpet bag about five miles
already, in the hot sun, and it was growing mo
mentarily heavier. So when I saw a bov coming
towards the bouse, I made up my mind to give him
a dollar to carry it for me. I was somewhat sur
prised, however, when, in reply to my offer, he
grated his digits at the extermity of his nasal pro
jection, and “ guessed I’d have to wait till his dad
got his wheat in.”
At this stage of the proceedings I resolve to walk
lo the first house I saw, and demand, in the name
of civilization, the hospitality due to a traveller.—
As the house happened to be a hording school for
young ladies, I was fortunate enough to secure a
night’s rest; and the next day, not being able to
see anybody but young ladies, as everybody was
getting in bis wheat, I left for home, resolved nev*
to return there when people were harvesting.—

VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. 25.
The Prince AcroM his VToi tier’s Knee.
The Rochester Democrat relates the following
on the authority of an eye-witness, a gentleman
now residing in Rochester :
“Some thirteen or fourteen years ago, her Ma
jesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort and
the Royal children, risked Scotland for tho first
time. ‘1 he yacht in which the party travelled by
water called at Aberdeen, and of course the loyal
inhabitants of that city turned ont in large num
bers to do honor to their beloved Sovereign. A
guard of honor, consisting of most of the mer
chants of the place, was formed and paraded on
the edge of the dock to which the vessel was
moored at just sufficient distance to prevent peo
ple from stepping on board. Seats were ereett and
on the bank, tier above tier, like those in a circus,
to accommodate the thousands that assembled to
gaze on the spectacle of an anointed queen.
“ Her Majesty good naturedly remained on deck
to gratify as much as possible the curiosity of the
bonny Scots, and promenaded about in full view’ of
the immense crowd. The Prince of Wales, then a
child of five or six years old, was with her.—
Among other articles of fnmiture placed on the
deck for the accommodation of the Queen was a
splendid sofa ornamented with tassels, and the
Prince, like other boys of that age, being of a de
structive turn, began to pull at one of them in a
manner that threatened to detach it. His mother
observed the act and ordered him to desist, lie
did so, but, as soon as her back was turned, seized
the tasael and gave it another jerk. The Queen
appeared to have expected something of the kind,
for she was at the moment watching him from the
corner of her eye. In an instant she turned, and
seizing the luckless heir apparent of England by
the ‘ scruff of the neck,’ elevated one of her feet
upon the sofa, hoisted the youngster over her knee,
adjusted him in a position mutually familiar to pa
rents and children generally when such ceremonies
are to be performed, and gave him a sound spank
iug.
“ It may be proper to mention, en passant , for
the information of youths who sometimes find them
selves similary circumstanced, that the illustrious
suffered kicked and bellowed under the alllictive dis
pensation quite as lustily as children of lower birth
arc wont to do.
“The amazement with which the spectators
witnessed the example of royal domestic dicipline
may be imagined, but scarcely described in fitting
terms. A dead silence followed for a moment, but
it was suddenly broken by a tremendous shout of
laughter and applanse, which could not be repressed
by any thought of decorum, respect for the Queen,
or sympathy for the victim of her displeasure.—
The explosion recalled the royal mother to a sense
of her position, and, having turned toward the
crowd for a moment, she hastily descended into
the cabin, and was seen no more by the expec
tant populace.
“ Honest Old Abe.”
The following racy burlesque is from the pen of
Artemas Ward, Showman:
There are several reports afloat as to how Hon
est Old Abe received the news of his nomination,
none of which are correct. I give the correct re
port :
The Official Committee arrived in Springfield at
dewy eve, and went to Honest Old Abe’s house.—
Honest Old Abe was not in. Mrs. Honest Old Abe
said Honest Old Abe was out in the woods split
ting rails. So the Official Committee went out in
to the woods where, sure enough, they found Hon
est Old Abe splitting rails, with his two boys. It
was a grand, magnificent spectacle. There stood
Honest Old Abe in his shirt sleeves, a pair of home
made suspenders holding up a pair of hotne-made
pantaloons, the seat of which was neatly patched
with substantial cloth of another color. Mr, Lin
coln, sir, you’ve been nominated, sir, for the high
est office, sir .” “ 0 don’t bother me,” said
Honest Old Abq, “ I took a stint this mornin’ to
split three million rails afore night, and I don’t
want to be pestered with no stuff about no Con
vention till I get my stint done. I’ve only got
two hundred thousand to split afore sundown. I
kin do it if you’ll let me alone.” And the great
man went right on splitting rails, paying no atten
tion to the Committee whatever.
The Committee were lost in admiration for a
moment, when they recovered, and asked one of
Honest Old Abe’s boys whose boy he was? ‘l’m
my parent’s boy,’ shouted the urchin, this b'urst of
wit so convulsd the committee that they come
near ginin eout completely- In a few moments
Honest Old Abe finished his task and received the
news with perfect self-possession. He asked them
up to the house where he received them cordially.
He said he split three million rails every day, al
though in very poor health. Mr. Lincoln is a jo
vial man, and has a keen sense of the ludicrious.
During the evening he asked Mr. Evarts, of New
York, ‘why Chicago was like a hen crossing the
street?’ Mr. Evarts gave it up. ‘ Because’said
Mr. Lincoln, 4 Old Grimes is dead, that good old
man.’ This exceedingly humorous thing created
the most uproarous laughter. And as an evidence
that he is a statesman as well as a wag, it may be
stated that during the evening he profoundly ob
served that 4 governments were governed too much,’
and that 4 an honest man was the noblest work of
God.’
The Boston Courier relates the following,
the application of which the current politics of the
day is easily understood:
A Fable. —Three armed travelers were passing
along in the desert, at some distance from each
other, and apparently having no communication
together. One from his head-gear seemed a Par
see, the second was evidently a Jew, while the
third showed all the marks of an European. Sud
denly a monstrous serpent was seen not far off, ad
vancing furiously towards them. All were hor
rified ; and the Parsec and Jew, glancing at the
costume of one another and of the third traveler,
seemed about making off’ in different directions.—
“ Come, come,” cried the European—“ this will
never do. If you fly thus, he will overtake us one
after another, and when he has destroyed us all,
will return and devour us at his leisure. Let us
unite our forces, forgetting difference now at least
of no consequence, in the common danger. I will
fire at him, as he comes within good gunshot;
you cau then fall upon him with sword and spear ;
I too will help with thel>utt of my musket, and he
will fall an easy prey.” By this concerted action
the three saved their lives.
ZW “ Harmony,” the racy correspondent of the
Mobile Register , gets off the following about
Downing and Judge Douglas :
“ Thomas Downing, the colored man, (nigger,)
keeps an oyster saloon in Broad street. He also
has a restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island. The
following story is told of Mr. Douglas, who was in
Newport a few days ago: It seems he paid a visit
to Downing’s oyster saloon in that place. While
taking an ice cream, Mr. Downing, senior, the
colored patriarch of Broad street, happened to be
present, and was presented to the Judge, who hu
morously inquired about his politics. To this the
old gentleman responded with that bland gravity
so familiar to the oyster eaters who enjoy his min
istrations in New York, declaring that his birth at
the South aud his friendship for many Southern
gentlemen whose patronage had been so liberally
bestowed on him would, if nothing else, preclude
him from sympathizing with Judge Douglas in his
recent difficulties with them ; yet that gentleman
and his friends were none the less welcome to the
hospitalities of his saloon.”
Abolition Fruits in Louisiana.— A private let
ter to a gentleman in this city from Alexandria,
Louisiana, dated August 18th, states that abolition
and republican documents, considered incendiary
in tbeir character, have been sent to nearly all the
elergymeu of every denomination in that region of
country. These missels come from Northern States
through the postoffice, and are considered a great
annoyance. It is further stated that the negroes
ou two adjoining plantations, about five miles from
the town, were found together in the woods, be
lieved to have been consulting together planning
mischief or insurrection. Two slaves, both intoxi
cated, were hurrahing for Lincoln. Patrols, com
posed of the best citizens, have been instituted, in
apprehension of further disturbance.
A picture in Punch shows two “respectable
citizens” very much “ cut” after dinner. Both
looked extremely happy and rumpled, and hold a
test conversation as follows :
nost —“ I say, my boy, shall we join Ladies in
Drawing-Room ?”
Guest—“ I sh’inksho.” j.
Host —“ Can you say, 4 The scenery’s truly rural
’bout here ?”
Guest—“ Sc-Scenery tooralooral.”
Host—“ AU right, come along 1”
